Tenders Invited.

TO IRONMASTERS.—WANTED 100,000 TONS OF
STEEL RAILS.

Public Works Office,
Wellington, New Zealand,
6th November, 1878.

WRITTEN TENDERS will be received at Wel-
lington by the Hon. the Minister for Public
Works up to 30th September, 1879, for the supply
of the whole or any portion of 100,000 tons of steel
rails, to be manufactured within the colony from New
Zealand ores. Payment will be made in cash on
delivery at the works—the Government of New
Zealand agreeing to pay, in addition, one-half of the
cost of the conveyance to the colony by sea of the
workmen to be engaged in the manufacture.

Information as to the mineral resources of New
Zealand, and maps indicating the various localities in
which mineral deposits are situated in relation to
means of transport, may be had on application to the
Agent-General of New Zealand, 7, Westminster
Chambers, Victoria Street, London; or to W. Walton
Evans, Esq., 66½, Pine Street, New York.

As it is unlikely that intending contractors will
enter into an engagement of the above nature with-
out first satisfying themselves by personal inspection
as to the position and extent of the raw material in
New Zealand required for the manufacture of iron,
every facility and information on this subject will be
afforded on application to Dr. Hector, C.M.G., F.R.S.,
Director of the Geological Department, Wellington.

For the information of parties desiring to tender,
it may be stated that the official returns show that
there were imported into New Zealand, within the
last eight years, 15,500 tons of cast-iron, and 93,000
tons of wrought-iron, exclusive of iron for Govern-
ment and other railways, during which period 1,068
miles have been constructed and opened for traffic.

Under Secretary for Public Works.

Wellington, New Zealand,

THE foregoing advertisement will be published in
the United Kingdom, the North American
States, and the Continent of Europe.

New Zealand colonists who may have friends and
correspondents connected with the iron manufacture
are requested to be good enough to draw attention to
the highly advantageous and profitable field for enter-
prise which this colony presents to those who can
bring the necessary capital and practical experience
to bear upon such manufacture.
