The Proprietor of the Wainuiomata Steam Saw Mill is ready to receive orders for any quantity of Rimu, Hinau, or Red Pine, plain or figured, of the best quality in the colony. Heart of Birch suitable for railway sleepers, bridge planking, piles, &c, any quantity and size, up to two feet square, and 60 feet long. The undersigned wishes to draw attention to the fact that for any of the above purposes the heart of Birch is the best wood in New Zealand, being far preferable to Totara; the wear and tear it will stand either in or out of the earth or water being enormous. The undersigned has in his possession wood of that description that has been in water and exposed to the weather for 28 years, which is as good as ever. The good qualities of this timber seem to be little known by our engineers. J. and D. Sinclair, Wainuiomata 28th August.
