Andrews, Esq., Westport. : The object of this Company is to work a coalmining lease of 800 acres, situatedat Waimangaroa Basin, Mount Bochfort coalfield, near Westport. ■ *• ‘ :,J n The ground comprised in this lease has been very carefully selected , from -three prospecting areas of 5000 acres, and about ,£IOOO has'Deen expended in obtaining the lease, prospecting, surveys,- and other works; necessary to prove the mine. In reference to this lease, Mr. R. B. Dennis, ton, Government Coal Viewer, in his evidence given before the Royal Commission at'Westsays;—“The .total w‘ including the • east' aid west ' slopes, 1 ' is /about 3,600,000 • tons, the coal, being of' the’ beat quality.” - The report of analysis of ! coal from thia.part of the field at Woolwich! Dockyard showa.that it! .is equal to the best north :bf- Eugland coal for steam purposes (Vide Admiralty report on Nelson coal presented to ( the Nelson Provincial Council, March .16, 1866). The railway is completed and open for traffic from Westport to Waimangaroa, and the. Wellington Coal Company have. made a branch line of . one mile five chains in length’ up the river, and from this point it"is proposed to make a tramway to the coal, about two miles in length. The ; Government coal waggons will be loaded at end ■’ of tramway line, thence forwarded oyer Government railway to Westport,. where, there ..is now buildiug railway wharf, station, sidings, and a large viaduct and coal sta\ths,lrom . which, the coal will be shipped direct into the .yeasels.. The port of Westport offers great for shipping, the average depth of watey'-oU the bar,bding 12 to 15 feet; audit is.ekpe'cted when the'protective wPlliVDow in course of 'construction, are completed: the depth)■ will be increased 1 to from,lß to 20 feet. t ','V .' By careful computation it -has been - estimated 'that the cost of opening:up and connecting the mine with .the, Government’railway, including all,necessary plant, will! not exceed £15,000, and-further, the .coal can: be shipped free on board at Westport at Bs.’ per ton;- - - The terms of the lease will, compel the Company to have the mine in working order early in. 1878, so that shareholders may rely on having returns for their money Within twelve months., : Prospectuses and forms-of application ;-for shares may be obtained- at the offices of- the undersigned, where a/sample of the coal'may beseem I‘, y ' , ~.,, ! .!/!,. .
