The Proprietors reserve to themselves £10,000 cash in addition to their paid-up Shares, to bo paid by four quarterly instalments of £2500 each. There will remain, ofter all deductions, a working capital of £40,500.

Ono fully paid-up share, in every ton shares, will ho allowed to Contributors.

Tnis Company has been formed with regard to tho purchase and working of the rich Coal, Shale, and Firo-Olay deposits found on tho property known aa " Dat OH'a Mine,

situated in tho parish of Jamison,* county of Cook, within 62 miles of Sydney, and 4i milos from tho Railway line, comprising nn area of six hundred and forty acres, as per Government Survey, aud hold under Mineral Conditional Purchase, on which ten shillings per acre have boen r aid, subject to a final payment of thirty shillings per acre, which the Vendors hereby undertake to discharge.

As a preliminary stop towards working tho Mine, it is proposed to eonstruot a Railway of tho same guage as the Governmout lino, in ordor that their ongines may roach tho top of tho incline, from which point tUeir tracks could be rapidly Ailed.

Mr. James Hamilton, M, Inst.- M. En.1, Manager of Berrima Colliery, and Coal Viewer, whoso report is annexed, .estimates that tho cost of the railway and indine, as well as all necessary plant for working the property, will be £22,100,

At the present time there have been traced five workable seams of' Coal and Shale, in addition to Fire-clay andiron.

A tuunol han been driven on Nos. 1 nnd 3 Coal Boanin-80

«nd 40 feet respectively-No. 3, to refer to only, is over 21 feet thick, and would yield 20,440,000 tons, sufficient for 1M y mrs, at an output of SOO tons yar diom.

Tho leading features of tho Wentworth mine, and which should elvo it a foremost rank among existing collieries, aro:-The large number of workable seams it contains; its eblf-draiuing powers, thoreby doing away with all expensive pumping appliances ; tho cool, chale, and Aro-cl ay so roadily obtaiuaulo, a regular unlimited supply being guaranteed for domestic, steaming, railway, blacksmith, gas, and other purposes; its contiguity to Sydney and adjacent centres of population, being over 35miles nearerto the oapital thau Lithgow. Through this circumstance of contiguity alone, on tho carriage to Sydney thero would be a saving of 2s 8d per ton¿ ns compared with the Lithgow

mines.

Of tho two knevn seams of Shale on tho property the first is 8ft2iu thick, the other being Bft, and as they aro n continuation of the Hartley Vale Seam, they promise to bo very rich. The price ruling for samo in the sydney markot ÍB now SGs par ton, and in Englaud 00s per ton. Mr. Hamilton conüdontly states that from this item of Shale alone a profit of £50,000 a year should aocrue. .

Tho Firo-clay is also of excellent quality, equal, indood,

to tho famous " Stourbridge," England. The Lithgow ¡ Coal and Fireclay Company aro now manufacturing from the samo scam of clay, lttricks, pipes, and terra-cotta, aud for this sort of goods there will always bo an extensive demand.

It is fully anticipated that, ia a short timo, the Investment will pay a Dividend of nt least 20 per cent, as Companies who aro merely coal producers, are now enabled to

do so.

In the STDNET MORNING flETOXD of 1st January last, appears under the head of " commercial Retrospect for 1883," remarks oa tho. varions percentages paid to Shareholders hythe Banks, Insurance Companies, Steam and Cool mines, which aro as follows :

Por oont. Hanks . ... 138 Insurances ... ... ... 14-5 btoam ... ... ... 13 8 Cool Mining... ... ... 21-1

These fisrures unquestionably demonstrate the .superiority of the coal-mming mdustry over aü othera^

ME. JAMES HAMILTON'ri KEPOBT.

Moss VALE,

October 8,1883. GESTixasn

I bavo tho honour to inform you that I have paid a visit of inspection to the mining property at Wontworth Falls, and found the same to comprise a large portion of hich ground, known ris King's Tableland, situated in the parish of Jamison, county Cook, and in ar*a about 640 acres, and held under a mineral conditional purchase ¡ it is about 01 milos wost from Sydney and 71 milos east from Bathurst, on the Great Western Railway lino.

Tho Great Western Railway is now in full working, and runs from Sydney somo 300 miles west ; it also rans within a few miles of tho property anet is connected with other lines, thus giving au requisite facilities for tho ready disposal of the produce. In a very short time tho railway will be carried through to Sydney Harbour, when coal jetties and all appliances will >e erected fdr coaling the largest oesan-going steamers ; this alone will create almost unlimited demand.

In this part of the N. S. Wales coalfields, there are some ten workable Beams of coal and shale, but iu this report I shall confine myself te the »©ams immediately on your ground, as per sections.

No. 1i?eam.-No. I .-©am ta pyMnt coal, 5ft thick, well adapted for steam or heusekeM purposos. I estimate tho yield of this will be 4,780.000 tons. . i

' No. 2 Kearn.-No. 2 BMM eonsisrs of 2 feet of Kerosene Shale, with 18 inches of eoal below it; this seam of shale would yield 1,082,000 to*s; Mbe coal below the shale is a bituminous cool; those twa asama would require'to be worked together, os the werking the eoe would greatly foo tlitate tho other.

No. 3 Foam-No. Sis a coal 21 feet;thlck, 18 feet of which is well suited tor smelting, brick hnrning, er for blacksmith's uso ; the top 3 foot is splint coal, very good for steam or household purposes. The yield of this seam 1 estimate nt 20,400,000 tons, sufficient for 136 years nt an output of 500 tons per diem.

Ho. 4 Soam -No.4 Seam is a Kerosene Fhale about S feet 2 inches thick, and being a continuation of the Hartley Vale seam, promises to be very rich. The prospeclmg of this simla was not completed at the time mi vir visit, conse

quently can only judge from the reports of tho adjacent properties, whore tho seam has been worked and found to be 3 feet 9 inches in thickness, and most probably will bo found the same on yours.

No. f> Scam.-No 5 is 4 feet thick-a fine coal for steam

penerating purposes, and contains n very small peroentage

of nsh. The yield from this Beam will be 3,804,000 tons.

Cost of Hewing CoaL-The adjoining' Collieries pay fo.

newing their coal, 2s 4d i on cott and other chjOTei. Istmia age to Sydney, 7s lld j making a total eos* of las Sd per ton ¡ the price of the same coal ia Sydney is 18s, and calculating your oatput at '500 tons per diem, your costs should not exceed Ss fd per ton.

Cost of Hewing Shale.-Fer hewing the shale at Hartley the price is 7s on cost aad la, and railway charges 6s Sd ; total, 14s 9d per ton, worth in the .Sydney Market Sds, and in England 90s per ton, aaa the erection of refineries on the ground would leave a still larger margin for profit. Your o os ts should not exceed 13s Sd per ton.

Fire-clay.-The fire-clay oa the property ia of a very, superior quality, 12 feet thick and over, and equal to the famous ** Stourbridge," England. The Lithgow Cool and Fire-clay Company are now manufacturing from the same seam of clay. Bricks, Pipes, and Terra-cotta, and for this sort of goods there will always be on extensive demand.

Drainage.-Tho whole of tho workings on your property -will be golt-dralning, thus doing away with all expenses for pumps, 4c

.Railway.-f would suggest that youri? ailway and sidings he put in at point marked A on pion annexed, on the west eide of Lawson Station, and lay Ballway to Mine-a distance of about4$ miles- roughtiy estimated cost... £12,000 Incline from Ballway to Mines, as per annexed 1,800

Tho machinery required would be as follows, vis. : -One pair double engines, 24 inch cylinders, with

boilers, winding gear, house, ¿cc - 2,200 Pit head and..pcreens ... «M M 500 Hopes, rotiere, ftc_. ". _ M M 890 Weighing maohine and offices ~. ... » 850 Workshops, tools, Ac. ... ... ... M. 600 Storehouse and stores ... ... ... M 250 Pit Skips-say 100 to commence with ... ... £00 Kails for pit-say 10 tons at £10 per ton ~. M 100 Locomotive and shed ... ... ". M 2,500 Management during construction of works ... ffJO Sundries ... ^ ". ... ... ." ... SOO

'«22,100

Timber.-Tho timber on the ground is of good quality, and conld bo utilized for all mining purposes.

Land.-Tho hind in the vicinity is being greatly sought aftor for building purposes, and largo prices hove been obtained, and on your ground there are some very desirable sites, if this part should becomo the resort of the Sydney public.

Conolaoion.-Nos. 1 and 8 seams hare already been en» tered by adits . proved to a depth of 100 feet, and found to be of excellent quality ; tho shale also, from the reports of the adjacent collieries, is sure to be very remunerativo. From the deposit of ironstone, on your property, and with every requisite at hand for smelting, large returns could be obtained. With the large scams of fire-clay and largo supply of water, the means are at hand for taming out a very superior article.

All the timber that would be required in tho erection of ofilces, workshops, mon's cottages, and all other buildings could readily be obtained on the ground.

On the whole, yours is a very valuable property, and with the facilities you possess of Bonding your coal, shale, &c, to market, and as tho timo will soon arrive when the largest steamers will be able to obtain their supply of coal alongside the jetties, and your eoal being admirably adapted for steam generating purposes, and with such an increasing demand for ooal, thora appears to be a grand future botoro you.
