The Promoters having had the very valuable property (as described below) offered to them by the proprietor, and having made very satisfactory arrangements for the purchase or lease of the same, they have determined to place the property and the advantages connected with it before the public, and to develop, what in their opinion, must prove to be a most successful undertaking and one that will prove of ■ immense advantage to the district of South Canterbury. A small amount of Capital will be required to purchase the necessary machinery and to put the mine in good working order, so that the Company will be able to pay dividends shortly after starting. Large Lime Kilns arc now in course of erection close to the property, The particulars of the property are as follows;—It is Freehold, of 20 acres in extent, the property of Mr George Merdith. In the land two-shafts have been sunk - the main or working shaft is Oft by oft wide, and is 32ft deep, from which Coal has been raised from a seam 2ft thick. The shaft is timbered from the surface. The other shaft referred to (half a chain from the main shaft), is 7ft by 4ft wide and 45ft deep, and is well timbered, and has been sunk through two seams of Coal of oft and 4ft respectively, and on to a 2ft Gin seam. Fire Clay, and an excellent Chalk is likewise found in largo quantities, and is pronounced by competent authority to be eminently adapted for pottery and sanitary pipes, gas retorts, firebricks, &c. The Coal is easily obtained, and is of the finest quality for household and manufacturing purposes, and its superiority for the production of gas, and for steam purposes, has been proved by reliable tests, As this Coal is admitted to be a really good Coal for steaming purposes, it, is proposed to have constant supplies in depots, so that the public can always get what they may require. Building Stone is found on the property, and Marble within a few chains, of a very superior description, also abounds, The Building Stone is a fine white stone, easily worked, and docs not disintegrate from exposure to weather, some quantity of this stone having b:en used in tire building of the Christchurch Cathedral. A large quantity of good Timber is in close proximity to the ground, and easily obtainable.
