The rep-rt of analysis of : coal from this part of the field at Woolwich* Doikyard shpw3 that it is equal to the best no; th oi England coal for tfcam purposes (riie Admiralty report on JSelspn coal.presented to Nelson Provincial Council, March IGth, 1866). ■■.-.-... The railway is completed "and 'open for traffic from i Westport to Waimangaroi," and ■ the Wellington Coal • Company.have made'a brunch line of one milefive ; chains in length' .up the river, and from this pnint it is proposed to make a tramway to the coal, about two milts in jlength. The Government coal waggons will be loaded .at end? of Tramway line, thence forwarded over Government; railway.to Westport wliore ihere' is now building-rail\v.,y-wharf, sti ion; sidings, arid a large viaduct andcoal staiths, fr<nn" which the coal will be shipped direct into the vessels.. ;Tha port of-West-pott oilers great facilities tor shipping. ■ The average depth of water of tao bar bciiig 12 to 15ft, and it is expected when toe1 Protective; »Vbrkß,'ii6w. in'cburse of cdristru'itidn, are completed, the dtpth will be increased to from 18 to 20it. By careful cbrnputatibn' it hss teen 'estimated that the cost of opening up. and connecting the mine with the Government railwayj including all necessary plant, will not exceed-£15,000, and'further, the coal can be BhippVd free oh board at Westport at 8s per ton. ■!-.■■: The terms of the lease will compel the Company to haVe the mine in working order ei»rly in 1875,50 that shareholders may rely; on having ; returns ■ for 'their money-within 12 months. .-;. :. - . t ;' : Prospectuses-and forms'of application for Shares' may be obtained of ,- -.. : ■-..- ; -:; ..: ; --..-.- ZEITH.RAMSAY,-. .■■'■. • , ;;• ■■:•■'■ 1:: '.'
