PROSPECTUS I OP THE i "RIVERTOX WEEKLY TIMES/V .; HbADOfBICE: — RIVBBiQN. J (Agents for Invercargiil •• Times Q/?tc«,Tay street.") ■' 'S IN announcing the establishment .of a- Journal to represent the interests of the- Western ',■ Districb of the Province of Southland, its pro- . \ moters would take this epportunity for briefly ex« .; • plaining the objects they have in view, together. . 3 with the course of action they propose to adopt. o It will be their aim to co-operate with the two local Journals which have already been so success- , ful in forwardins: the development of the natural resources of the Province, and in advancing it«; claims to a fair nnd equitable measure of Legisla-:.;; tire cons : deration, without which its material. v advancement never can attain to the permanent footing its numerous capabilities are so well adap : "■ ted to secure. At the same time, such co-operation ," will always be conducted with a primary regard to v the Western Dictrict of the Province. f The Harbor of River ton has a geographical ;. position that constitutes it the first port of call in ; : the direct line of communication between Victoria .;_ and the other produce markets of the Southern Hemisphere; thia fact will receive the- special > attention of the " Riverton Times," and no effort r . will be lost to impress upon the Provincial Govern-; ment the recessity that exists for having it im-' mediately placed upon a footing that will recom- j~. mend it to shippers generally as a port ot dis* . ; charge. <\ The advantages Riverton possesses as affording '; the shortest and easiest access to the Wakatip ■/■-■. goldfields — which have proved the richest yot dis- ••' covered —will be brought prominently forward, 86 that every inducement will be afforded for Riverton' '■■■} and the Western District generally deriving ,th«.ii full extent of advantage -to which its relationship ;^ to the Wakatip District entitles it to sustain.' "£ As it appears to be the current; belief that the i V, lead of the gold follows in the direction ;of the :^i Western boundary of the Province— -while this. t Journal will be careful to lend every _aid~ to the "^ furtherance of the pastoral and agricultufal > interest^ it will not fail to be watchful of every ' j movement, whether Provincial or otherwise, that ; may have for its object the development of tho / mineral resources. :. '! . ■*■•' ■■- "•''•* The latest local, commercial, trade reports and : « price lists issued by the Home or other colonial ..-ij markets, will be carefully selected, so that -every _■] opportunity will be taken advantage of for placing. ]j the merchants of this district in a position to com- ' ■] pete with traders in other parts of the "Province as j well as those located in neighboring Provinces- j l The Proprietors of the Itiverton Times, neei >i | not remind those to whom they must 100k _ ior ■-,■)'. countenance and • support, : s that the carrying ', out of their object efficiently will entail.a very large expenditure, and that, therefore, they expect A I advantage will be taken of their advertising ,:. columns to an extent that- will .warrant therh pro- -' r secuting their endeavors to a successful; issue. - At the same time, the Proprietors wbuM bag i leave to call the attention of the Merchants' and* -4 Traders of Invercargiil and other : pbices to the favorable medium this journal will, afford tor" '? openinof up a^oixnection with, the residente.of the 'j "W"estern District of the '■ -': : -. . „j The first: >issue of the Mvexton K»«es s willbe -|: published on Satubdat, the 2nd January,lß64, rfj and weekly thereafter till! further notice. r . v_ i] Subscriber's names will be ~at the (:\ following pUces : -r-Bank^ of New ?
