I "HE object of this Company is to form un er the District Railways Act, aline ofßailway from W iDton to the Nightcaps <^oal Fields, being a distance of 18 miles, with ultimate ex ension to Waiau, the desirability and advantages of euch a line being so apparent as to render comment ther- on unnecessary. Tbe construction of this line will unite Kingston and the Wakatip, and the Oreti, WRimea, and Five Bivers Plains (being the most fertile and extensive dis ricts of the Soutb, but almost devoid of timber) with the coal field ; and from the supply of fuel to these districts alone, a large amount of traffic may be safely calculated upon. Adding to this the coal trade vith Invercargill and Winton, and the other localities affected by the line, it may be safely asserted that no proiect which has yet been submitted for the construction of a lailwav in New Zealand, contains within itself so essentially the elements of success as the proposed Winton and ttightcaps'line. - ; --. .';.. \'7" : -\ i' 7 K/| .'; The coal of the Nightcaps' Saving' been chemically and mechanically tested by scientific gentlemen and engineers being declared to combine all the characb ristics of true coal s an article which from its excelent quality must come into general use. It is estimated that at least 20,000 tons of coal mill te conveyed along the line during the fir t year of its ; working and this independently of the general trade of the districts intersected, will return a lar.e -interest on capital, after payment of working expenses. An extensive tract of lertile agricultural land in the Oreti Plains and Jacob's River Valley, will be opened up by th s railway, which is shut out by any other projected route. No engineering difficu ties occur throughout | the line selected, and the < ature of the ground tr iversed guarantees effective maintenance of tbe permanent way at small cost. The land for co struction has been with sonic trifling cxc plion reserved or granted free of cost. The,Sbare list will close on Ist ember, a >d in thV^aliotmerit of ; "hares priority of application will be consider d. - TuOMAS JERKINS, t-ecretary.
