The promoters, m offering to thb public ,this most valuable property of one square mile of land: (64o acres), held under leaee for twenty-one years at Is per acre: from the Native Lands Commissioner, Nelson, de so m the firm belief that this coalfield mill be the source of » very large part of! the 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 tin's district to a limited extent ; and the coal is so well liked, that it is understood, none otherwould be used for domestio purposes could a constant supply be depended on. The promoters of thia proposed company haveat considerable expense, 1 .to prove beyond' doubt the existence of an extensive; coalfield, sunk ft shaft SOftl, driven on the coal on main level 58ft. ; put m a heading of 20ft., and' h!ave a chamber of 10ft. square.. The seam of coal is aboufc 5 ft. 6in.' thjckjwith a tendency.to increase. -'■,-, There is .a 10-horse power engine on the spot, ropes, gear, boat, buildings, &c, &c., sow .working under only these prospecting, appliances, yet getting put, from" seyen to" ten.; tons of . co%l . oeV dtiy'; while/ a' main i working shaft is .being put down. -With .very Uttle addition 4 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 m thevarious markets]' to : be - duly appreciated. With that m yiew ; they have already seVeral cargoes on their way to this port, so that the public can. test the coal and judge for themselves. All houSeholdera, hotel-keeper's, factors, and others are earnestly invited to take shares m this company, that promises such undoubted success. ' It is contempkted^immediately^fter^the formation, of the company, to purchase" or have built one or more steam cottiers suitabk for the trade. , The'^WeSt Wanganui- Iniet / i» said to be the best harbor on the West' Coast; the bar is unchangeable, and at high water has . : J6ft. j at raidtidfr, 14ft. j. arid at low water not less than 7ft. Ingress and egress 'can be had afc all times. The 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 1460 paid-up shares as their proportion of this valuable coalfield and plant. ■ , . . ■■Applicatiori for shares fo-bfr made- to the Bank of New Zealand, Wellington, its various branches, and the offices; of the Prot visional Directory or the Agents,, Mißsssrs, Tbtsihb, LiNibK, & Co.',' at their offices, Foxton and Palmerston,_ where auy further information may be obtained. - * • ' J # FA n.
