BROOKLET jp AITiSOTSL EXTRACTS FBOm""bEPORT BY J. M. HABDY JOHNSTON, M. INST. C.E. 9th Fbbroast, 1682. THE quality of the Coal is undoubtedly among the best tbat has yet boon discovered in New Zealand, and in many re'peeis it surpasses the Newcastle Coal of New South Wales. It is perfectly black, hard, and compact, of a firm texture, with smooth aurfaco when broken, and in these respects rosetnblea muoh tho appearance of the English C-nnel Coal. It also emits mnch flame and great heat when burning. Indeed, I have nsver met with any Coal that throw out bo great a heat, while at the same time it produces scarcely any smoke, and little or no ash. It ia highly bituminous, and may therefore ba pronounced a most valuable domestic coal, as well as being a first class .team coal. It may reasonably bo expected that tbe quality of the coal will improve v.ith the quantity as the working descends, which is generally admitted to be the case in coal mii.ing. The quality of the coal is unexceptionable, and tho quantity by comparatively easy and inexpensive means may reasonab'y be expected to be very great, as tbe working of the suam can be carried out on the present lavel to a very great distance eastwards without the fear of encountering much water. Mr Storey estimates that from drives 3 und 1 an output of over 200 tons weekly ma c_aily be affected; but I should think, with proper appliances and everything in good warring order, [this amount would be far exceeded. Iv fact, [the Mice as a whole only await a :i mo-, exte_jyive and systematic mode of working, ivbie_ a Rjnoderateamount of capitil aloua cm accomgpißh. |I There is every indication of nn c-tcnßivo [peposit of true coal in the form of a prosit basin Rmderlyiog the rock formation whicn composes phe line of hills lying immediately to tho north of j&he coal already discovered. || If it should really provo to be the case, aa 1 Efirmty believe it to ba, that an extensive coal weld doe 3 exist in connection with the Brockley iseam, and in the form of a vast basin, I may add Kurther that the advantages of working _ coal Ipeld co situated is very great, the coal being Obtainable at unequal depths, and occasionally k__s_r the surface, aa in the present instance. M The important fact that coul rf excollcnt quality and apparently in groat cbuQ-aneo does exist within bo short a distance of Christchuroh ia a boon that few of the inhabitant, can as yet fully realiso. Intending shareholders may peruaa Mr Johnston's detailed report, with plaoe. by calling at the offico of the Secretary, Cathadral squire. 2-16 5894
