Mawhera Quay, and are authorized to lev; tolls in respect of the traffic thereon, The result of Mr Dobson's Survey shew that a line of Railway or Tramway can b easily constructed ; that practically there an no inipudimci ti whatever in the way. Tin length of the Line which the Company pro pose im mediately to commence would bi about seven miles along a portion of th< country in which the incline would be abtm I iv 440 from the mine to the point of ship mont on Mawhcni Quay, Greymouth. The alleged difficulty of ingress aud egres: to the River has not been overlooked. Tlu Directors will, of course, apply themselves to the consideration of the question of towag< —at present a costly element. They would, however, remark that with so large an< valuable an Estate as the Coalfield at the threshold of Greymouth, which, if pvoperlv worked, must be a source of incalculable wealth to the district, it is scarcely possible to suppose that such an obstacle to its commerce will long be allowed to prevail. If tlu interests of the owners of tug boats shall be found antagonistic to the trading of the Compauy, it will be requisite that the Company shall provide tug vessels of their own. The Directors desire to allude to anothe source of profit \vh ieb 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. Settlors, and the tvnfic 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 comnmnica 1 ion between them and the port. A careful estimate of the probable revenue to be derived from the trading of the Company has been in:idc upon the assumption that 50,000 tons of Coal may be gained per anniim, and brought down to the vessels lying at Greymouth 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 profit of 25 to 30 per cent, may bu anticipated upon a selling price of 10s. per ton for the Coal placed on board ship at Greymouth.
