A Fairbauhß' weigh*bridge, weighing up to So tons, is close to th» 9boot nil trucks pass over and aro weighed on thitf, * re cord being kept in the Company's office immediately adjoining. The otation-yard lias extensive sidings both for coal' and public purposed ; also commodious goods-shed, all well auited for a larpe increase to pi osent traffic. The Main road, Wrey's Bash to Waiau, runs through tho property at this point, and the otation is largely used by the settlers, to which they bring their produce and return with coal and other back loading. Alongside tho station-yard ia the mine manager's house, consisting of six rooms, with" water laid on, and every convenience; also three - stalled stable 3bed, harnoss, and storeroom, &c., all in thorough order. Near thia it is proposed to uink a ohaf b for winding the coal to tho surface, tipping direct Into the trucks, and so still further lessen the cost of production. In the township thero is a good hotol, post-office (with bi-weekly mail to Wrey'a Bush and Mount Linton), sfcoros, &c, and the probability of tbe telegraph" line being extended from Otautau at no very distantdate. In addition to the present outlets for consumption, the construction of the Wiuton-Nightcapa rafiwayHne (already surveyed) will, besides opening up & large extent of good agricultural country, increase the output of coal by bringing_ it within eaaier reach of the Lake district, where it is certain to be largely used, thero being little or no timber there. The pi'oiuvfcerd have no hesitation in saying that % rfafer investment, capable of much greater development and profit;, has raroly been put before the puolic of New Zealand They believe that a concern ,uf thi* nature is more profitably worked aa a Joint Snuck Company, whew all have an inteieat Id promoting (directly and indirectly) its further develop* taunt, and have every confidence that it will meefr with a favourable roception from the public, and pr.)ve a remunerative investment. As illustrating the succeaa of similar companies, the promoters would point to the Kaitangata Railway and Coal Company, which this year has paid a dividend and bonus equal to 20 per cent., bosidea carrying forward a considerable sum. Copies of prospectus and forms ol application can be obained from the Provisional Directors, the C<n»v pany'a brokers, any of the branchea of the BatfMLj' Australasia, at ths offices of the Company, Esk Btnjw x or from the Undersigned. • ' B The Share Liat wiU close on December 31, 1888.
