The promoters of - this proposed s company have at considerable expense,’to prove beyond doubt the existenoe.of an extensive coalfield, sunk a shaft 50ft., driven on the .coal on main level 58ft.; put in a heading of 20ft., and have a chamber of 10ft. square.' The seam of ooal is aboutiSfti 6io. thick, with a tendency to increase. -There is a 10 horse-pewer engine on the spot, ropes, gear, boat,'buildings, &0., &c., now working under only these prospecting appliances, yet (-getting-..out i from,: - ,teu , tons of coal per lay. .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 i raised. The promoters are fully assured that the coal has oidy to be placed s in the various markets to be duly appreciated. With that in view they have already several cargoes. on their way to this port, so that the public can test the coal and judge for themselves. All householders, hotel keepers, factors;* - and -others ■ are earnestly invited to take shares "in- this company, that promises such undoubted success. It is contemplated, immediately after the formation of the company, to purchase or have built one or more steam colliers suitable for the trade. • The West Wanganui Inlet is said to be the best harbor ou.tlie West Coast; the bar is unchangeable, ; and at high 'water has.'Lift.; at midtide, 14ft. ; and -at low -water not less than 7ft. Ingress arid egress'can be-had at all times. Tho inlet covering a distance of some ■nine' or ten miles in.length, and’ from’ two to three miles in breadth, and being acted on by the sea only, it is never subject to floods; and considering its contiguity to all the centres fof population, it is calculated that screw steam colliers will' be enabled to make from five to six trips per month.
