Wright, Secretary pro ton. Tho promoters, in offering to the public this most valuable property of one square mile of land (640 acres), held under lease for twentyone years at Is. per acre from the Native Lands Commissioner, Nelson, do so in the firm belief that this coalfield will be the source of a very large part of the supply for the whole of the colony. The coal is better known in Nelson than iu any other part of New Zealand, as small traders have for many years past been in tho habit of supplying that market froin this district to a limited extent ; and tho 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 doubt the existence of an extensive coalfield, sunk a shaft 50ft., driven on the coal on main level 63£t.; put in a heading of 20ft., and have a chamber of 10ft. square. The seam of coal is about sft. 6i.-i. thick, with a tendency to increase. There is a 10 horse-power engine on tho spot, ropes, gear, boat, buildings, &0,, &0., now working under only these prospecting appliances, yet getting out from seven to ton 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 tho coal has only to be placed 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 tost tho 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 tho formation of the company, to purchase or have built one or more steam colliers suitable for tho trade. Tho West Wanganui Inlet is said to bo tho best harbor on the West Coast; the bar is unchangeable, and at high water has 16£t.; at midtide, 14ft.; and at low water not loss than 7ft. Ingress and egress can be had at all times. The 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 tho sea only, it is never subject to floods; and considering’its contiguity to all tho centres of population, it is calculated that screw steam colliers will be enabled to make from fivo to six trips per month. The promoters reserve to themselves 1400 paid-up shares as their proportion of this valublo coalfield and plant. * Application for shares to be made to tho Bank of New Zealand and its branches ; also, at the odices of the Provisional Directors, where all further information can ho obtained.
