Mawhera Quay, aud are authorized to levy tolls in respect of the traffic thereon, The result of Mr Dobson'a 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 porfcion I *bfC~the country in which the incline would be'.'^boufc ; 1 in 440 from the mine to the point of jahipnient on Mawhera Quay, Greymouth. V The alleged difficulty of ingress and egress to the River has not been overlooked. The Directors will, of course, apply themselves to the consideration of the question of towage — at present a costly element. They woulil, however, remark that with so large ami valuable an Estate as the Coalfield; at the threshold of Greymouth, which, if properly 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 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 anothe 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 traiic 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 comiwuniea* ion 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 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 be anticipated upon a selling price of 10s. per ton for the Coal plaiied on board ship at Greymouth.
