Surveyor's No. Parish No. Area, Upset price., a. b. p. £ s. d. — 9 4,350 0 0 4,350 0 0 The probable area of the coal-field within thi s block has been, estimated by , Captain Hutton to be (400) four hundred acres, the average thickness of the coal seam, throughout that area, to be '(l 3) thirteen feet, the .quantity of coal contained therein to be (8,000,000) eight million tons.

BXTRAOT FROM CAPTAIN *HVTTON'a BBPOBT O.V 'THE GEOLOGr OF THE LOWJCR WAIXATO. * * * The appearance of this coal (from the mine at Kupakupa) is much like oannel coal, having a lustrous pitch black colour, with brown films in places. It does not soil the fingers. Its fracture is cdnchoidal, shining and hard, and it does not fall to pieces easily. Both the streak and powder are black and glistening. It is easily .ignited, and burns with a bright clear flame. It is burnt with niuch satisfaction on board all the steamers plying on) the Waikato, and I am of opinion that it' will be fdund equal,! if not superior, to any of the hydrous coals of New Zealand. The coal can be got without pujnping or the use of 'any mechanical means for raiairig it to the surface. ... ***• ♦ > . Notb. — With reference to the .terms .of payment above specified, it is hereby notified that payment of the deposit of one-fourth must be made in Cash. The second payment of three-fourths may be made 1 in Cash or Compensation Scrip. : ■ '• • ' ■ ■ • j i
