It is situated in the West Wanganui Inlet, on the North-West Coast;of the:' Middle Island, 100. miles from Nelson, 160 miles from Wellington, 10 miles South of Cape Farewell, and about 20 miles by road from CoUiogWood in Qolden ; ., This inlet, or harbor, is (he best on the West Coast, covering v dis. tance of some.9 miles in length by JJ in breadth, and being acted upon by the sea only is never subject to floods; while con< sidering its contiguity'to all the centres of population, it is calculated that screw steam colliers will be enabled to make from Bto 10 trips per month;' * "'

The Coal is good for all-round purposes, and is well-known in Wellington, Wanganui, Nelson, and other places, as the cleanest and best "household." - ; :. u f ? * for an economical working, the .Coal measuring on an average about Bft Giu thick, is the easiest to work (on the ■-'.! Longwall" system) for the production of large-Coal without slack or waste. The strata abovo the Coal is soft, and shafts can be put down without the use of powder,, There is abundance or mining timber oloso at hand, and plenty of fresh water and other natural advantages, which go far, to increase the value ofthemines, V; , ~';,"•', \ . The 'present proprietors, in order to satisfy themselves that the Coal extended over , large area, lately, at considerable eipense put down several bore holes, which were avtended with thorough satisfactory results, and it is estimated that, the property' yiold 2J million tons of Coal, or »b)ut ™ l It is estimated that when the surface works aro constructed, and the Mine opened out that 2000 tons of Coal can be raised per week, and put on board ship'at 'a cort of 7a per ton, and sold at from 13s to 15s per ton, leaving a profit of say 6s per ton, or on 2000 tons £6OO par week, T/he contiguity ftf the Mine to the prppossd ■*#s, and to % entrance of the Inlet, w eatly enhances its value, as vessels will he enabled to load and put to sea with despatch. demand in New Zealand, for coal, and tho inability of our colleries to meet the same; although in that year .80,000 tons more were raised than in the previous year, the imports from Australia were also greater during the same period, and it is said by those competent to judge, that if all the Coal Mines at work and projected in New Zealand were properly developed, there would still be a steady and increasing demand, Operations can be commenced, and tho Mine opened out, and Coal put in the market without considerable expense. The surface works will be extended as the out-put increases, It is therefore proposed that the Company shall proceed to work the mine as soon as have been subscribed for. The estimates given below, are for the full completion of the works. The proprietors will reserve to themselves 1300 paid-up shares for expenses incurred pioving the lease and for their interest in the Mine, These shares will not be transferable until a dividend shall be paid on the Over 300 shares have already been taken up by the present proprietors, The original report and estimates made by Mr James Russoll, Mining Engineer (who also carried out the nrospccting works), may hn upon at.
