Seeing the probability ol' Steam Communication being established//;/ naij of /'miniiiu, between Kuglnnd and the Australasian Colonies, I know of nothing which would more certainly contribule to the advantage 01 Ihe I'orl of Auckland and its neighbourhood, than llit; discovery, within a convenient (lis lance, of Coal suitable for purposes of Steam navigation. In Ihe hope of prompting Ibis object, I shall have much pleasure in placing at your disposal I tie sum of One lluudrc I founds, to In; paid lo Ihe person who, within Six Months from this dale, shall discover a Seam of Coal, which, in point of quality and locality, (as to distance and accessibility] shall, in your opinion, he of pr.-icfica! value lo the Poi-I of Auckland for Ihe purposes of Steam Navigation.
