Capital— £6o,ooo, in 6,000 Shares op £10 each. Deposit on Application ss. per Share, and ss. on Allotment. Calls Not to Exceed ss. per Month. Provisional Directors : J. Dransfield, Esq. W. B.

This Company is ■■being, formed for the purpose of working that portion of the coal seams of the Mount Rod-fort District, on the West Coast of Vev Zealand, the natural outlet of which is at the Ngakawau River, with the object of supplying to New Zealand, - - fronrher own' soil, a coal at once superior in quality and lower in price than can be obtained from New South Wales. Its evapojating power is considerably higher than Grey River coal, which has, up jto the present been considered the best available coal in New Zealand; and tested against the average New South Wale- coal delivered in tliia country, it possesses 25 per cent more evaporative power, rendering it consequently of one-fourth more value, which, in addition to the saving of labor and space, is for ocean steamers a great consider- - ation. A lease of .400 acre's has been obtained, and the whole of it ia [believed to contain coal. A largerarea, extending into Mount Frederic, has been applied for, iv order that tho operations of the Company may be conducted on a scale commensurate with its national importance. The thickness of the seam is now over twenty feet. At present the p.s. Result is supplying West port with ccal from this mine, ami small cr.aft are carrying away coal from tho pit's mouth at 10* i per ton. Comparatively inexpensive harbor works will render the river available for vessels drawing 10 feet of water; but it may be improved indefinitely. . A mine possessing these advantages can a once secure a ready market both in this country and in Victoria;— the quantity of New South Wales coal alone consumed last year in this country exceeding 100, COO tons, and a demand for Ngakawau coal having already sprung up in Melbourne.
