Payable: £1 on application for Shares, and the remaining £2, if required, at 10s per share, and at intervals not less than six months from each call. Directors : Mr Joseph Masters, Dr Boor, Mr H.

TnK object of this Company is to carry out Mr Riky's process for dressing the New Zealand Flax ; and at the Fame time to manufacture woolpacks, scrim cloth, and other materials. The. flax produced by this process, which is very inexpensive, is of such a quality that samples sent to London by Messrs Levin & Co , although but. half dressed, have been valued at £32 per ton (not including the tow) the brokers saying at the same time that such flax would command a large demand. But a superior quality has been produced since at the mill already erected by Mr Rikys at Masterton, a specimen of which can be seen at Messrs Levin & C 0.% office, and such flax will doubMcss fetch a higher price in the London market. The following certificate relative to the flax prepared by the abovo process has been given in London by the well known firm, Messrs Noble &Co., viz.:— " London, 17*. h June, 1869. " Gentlemen, — After carefully examining the samples of New Zealand Flax shown to the writer at your ofilee, we consider the improvement in value effected by Mr Rikys' process on the sample we gave him equal to £10 per ton. We are igi.orant of tho cost per ton of working this process, but would suggest that it should bo carried out at the place oi growth. " CTlie parcel of flax from -which, vre gaTe samples we Bold at £22 per ton. " We are, Gentlemen, &0., " (Signed) G. & A Noble." Dr Hector, and also Mr Kebbell, Flax Commissioner, have expressed a high opinion of the flax prepared by the said process. According to present calculations the cost of such flux will not exceed £22 to £24 per ton, delivered in London, so that there will be a largo margin for profit, even supposing that not more than £32 per ton should be obtained for it. The Directors have the pleasure to say that such is Mr Rikys 1 confidence in the said process that, instead of asking a bonus for it from the Company, he has agreed to accept 25 per cent, out of the nett profits of the Company, retaining to himself the right to grant licenses for the use of his pntent. The mill erected at Masterton, with the plant and other things attached to it, will become the property of the Company, who will have to pay to Mr Rikys the actual cost of it only. A better situation could not have been selected by Mr Rikys for the erection of a flax mill. A fine stream, with abundance of water all the year round, runs clofo by it ; it is surrounded by excellent flix, and at a distance of c few yards i.hero is the bush, which will supply tho mill with firewood at a small expp»'BO No^Hvng will be spared by the Directors, and particularly by the Manager, to promote the good result of this Company, which they do not hesitate to recommend to the public as a safe and good investment.
