Wright, Secretary pro tem. The promoters, in offering to the public this most valuable property of one square mile of laud (610 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 tho colony. The coal is better known in Nelson than in any other part of New Zealand, as small traders have for many years past been iu the habit of supplying that market from this district to a limited extent ; and the coal is so well liked, that it is understood none other would be used far domestic purposes oould a constant supply ho depended on. Tho promoters of tliis 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 53ft.; 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 alO horse-power engine on the spot, ropes, gear, boat, buildings, &0., &c., now working under only these prospecting appliances, yet getting out from seven to ten 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 the coal has only ' to he placed in the various markets to bo duly appreciated. With that in. view they have already several cargoes on their way to this port, so that tho 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 con- • tcmplated, 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 on the West Coast; the bar is unchangeable, and at .high water has 16ft.; at midtide, lift.; and at Jow 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 iu length, and .from two to throe miles in breadth, and being acted on by the 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 five to six trips per month. The promoters reserve to themselves 1400 paid-up shares as.their proportion of this vainbio coalfield and plant. Application for 1 shares to be made to the Bank of New Zealand and its branches ; also, at the offices -of the Provisional Directors, where all further information can. be obtained. LA GRANDE MARQUE BRANDY is now recognised as the purest and best in the market. JOSEPH NATHAN & CO., Agents.
