The promoters, m offering to the publio this most valuable property of one square mUe of land (640 acres), held under lease for twenty-one years "at Is! per acre from the Native Lands Commissioner, Nelson, do so m the firm belief that this coalfield will be the source of a very large partjoffthe supply for the whole of the colony. The | coal is better known m Nelson than m any . other part of New Zealand, as small traders have for many years past been m the habit of supplying that market from this district to a limited extent ; and the coal is so well , liked,, that it is understood none .other would be used for domestic purposes could a constant supply be depended on. The promoters of this proposed company have at considerable expense, to prove.. beyond I doubt the existence of an extensive coalfield, sunk a shaf t 50xfc., driven on the coal on main level 53ffc. ; put m a heading of 20ffc., and have a chamber of 10ft. square. The seam of coal is about s£fc. 6ini thick, with a tendency to increase. There is a 10-horse power engine on the spot, ropes, gear, boat, buildings, &e:,&c.', how working under only these prospecting appliances, yet getting out from seven to ten tons of coal per day; while a main working shaft, is being put down. With very little addition to present appliances, fully 100 tons per week of the coal- could be raised. The promoters are fully assured that' the coal has only to be placed in -the various markets to be duly appreciated. With that m view they have already several , cargoes on their way to this port, so that ■ the publio can test the coal and judge for themselves. All householders, hotel-keepers, factors, and others are earnestly invited to take shares m this company, that promises suoh undoubted success. It is contemplated, immediately hfter the formation of the company, to purchase or have built one or more steam colliers suitable for the trade.. 1 The West Wanganui Inlet i» said to be the best harbor on the West Coast; the bar is unchangeable, and at high water has 16ft.; at midtide, 14ft. ; and at low water not leBS than 7ft. Ingress and .egress can be bad at all times. Tbe inlet covering a distance of some nine or ten miles m length, and from two to three miles m breadth, and being acted on by the sea only, it is never subject to floods ; and considering its contiguity to all the centres of population, it is calculated that screw steam colliers, will be enabled to make from five to six trips per month. The promoters reserve to themselves 1400 paid-up shares as their proportion of this valuable coalfield and plant. Application for shares to be made to the Bank of New Zealand, Wellington, its various branches, and the offices of the Provisional Directory ;,or the Agents, Messsrs. Thxnnh, Linton, & Co., at their offices, Foxton and Palmerston, where any further information may be obtained. .
