TESTPORT COAL COMPANY LIMITED. Head Office : Vogel street, Dunedin. MINES AT AVE3TPORT AND GREYMOUTH. The Company's COALBROOKDALE Seam is the Best House and Steam Coal in the Southern Hemisphere, and commands in the market the highest price. It is used exclusively by the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company, and the Elderslie Steamship Company, and by many of the Freezing Companies and Steam Mills, and has a very large consumption for household purposes. A trial has recently been made by the New Zealand Refrigerating Company at their Works at Burnside, which gives the following results : —Two boilers were used, having an average pressure of 581b to the square inch, the fires and engines being in the same state in each case.

Newcastle Screened Coal required 2641b per hour, and gave 7.2 per cent, refuse. Coalbrookdale Screened Coal required 2141b per hour, and gave 1.1 per cent, refuse. Coalbrookdale Small Coal required 2401b per hour, and gave 1.9 per cent, refuse. Thus showing that it required 25 per cent, more of Newcastle to do the same work as Coalbrookdale Screened, and 10 per cent, more to do the same work as Coalbrookdale Small Coal. The Company's Greymouth Mines (Wallsend and Coalpit Heath) are now in full working order, and they are prepared to execute orders. This Coal is used largely by the New Zealand Railways, and by nearly every Gasworks in the Colony. Mr Graham, engineer to the Dunedin Gasworks, writes :—" The Coalpit Heath Coal is perhaps one of the very best gas coals to be found throughout the world. Where this coal is delivered round, I have, in six months' working, found it to make 11,600 cubic feet of gas per ton ; and when the correction was made for gasholder and barometer pressure and for temperature, it made 11,784 cubic feet of 18£caudle gas per ton. Orders can be booked at the head office for delivery at Dunedin or elsewhere.
