Mawhera Quay, and are authorized to levy tolls in respect of the traffic thereon, The result of Mr Dobson's Survey shews that a line of Railway or Tramway can be easily constructed ; that practically there are no impediments whatever in the way. The length of the Line which the Company propose immediately to commence would be about seven miles along a portiou of the country in which the incline would be about 1 in 440 from the mine to the point of shipment on Mawhera Quay, Greymouth. The alleged difficulty of ingress and egress to the lliver has not beeir" overlooked The Directors will, of course, apply theWjjslves to the consideration of the questioninpifcLge — at present a costly element. Thej however, remark that with so lai . ' ami valuable an Estate as the Coalfieh ■: the threshold of Greymouth, which, if perly worked, must bo a source of mc; Jablo wealth to the djgsri,qt, it is scarcely >sible ttTKippose that such an obstacle to ommerce will long be allowed to prevair 1" the interests of the owners of tug boats shall be found antagonistic to the trading of the Company, it will be requisite that the Company shall provide tug vessels of their own. The Directors desire to allude to anotho source of profit wh ich is too important to be lost sight of. The Country above the mines in the Valley of the Grey, aud upon the Arnold, is attracting a considerable number of Settlers, and the trafic returns for the mining and agricultural population there would alone pay a handsome dividend upon the cost of constructing a line of railway or tramway com n'unicaUon between them and the port. A careful estimate of the probable revenue to be derived from the trading of the Company has been made upon the assumption that 50,000 tons of Coal may be gained per annum, aud brought down to the vessels lying at Grcynionth. After paying liberally for getting the coal, making a fair allowance for office and working expenses, and a moderate charge for freight upon the line ; together with 10 per cent, upon Capital, a prolit of 2i5 to 30 per cent, may be anticipated upon a selling price of 10s. per ton for the Coal placed on board ship at Greymouth.
