Extract from Captain Hutton's Report on the
Geology of the Lower Waikato.

• • • • The appearance of this coal (from the
        mine at Kupakupa) is much like Cannel Coal, having
        a lustrous pitch black colour, with brown films in
        places. It does not soil the fingers. Its fracture is
        conchoidal, shining and hard, and it does not fall to
        pieces easily. Both the streak and powder are black
        and glistening. It is easily ignited, and burns with
        a bright clear flame. It is burnt with much satis-
        faction on board all the steamers plying on the
        Waikato, and I am of opinion that it will be found
        equal if not superior to any of the hydrous coals of
        New Zealand. The coal can be got without pumping
        or the use of any mechanical means for raising it to
        the surface.
