The Promoters haring 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 plac? the property, arid the advantages connected with it, before the Public, and to develop what, in their opinion must, pio.ve to bp a most successful undertaking, and one that will pro.ve 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 are now ip, course of erection close to the property. The particulars of the property ..are as follows : It is freehold, of 20 acres in extent, •he property of' Mr George Meredith. In the land two shafts have been sunk. The main, jr working shaft is 9ft by sft wide, and is 32ft jeep from which coal has been raised from a jeam 2ft thick. The shaft is timbered from :he surface. , , . The other shaft referred to (half a chain 'rom the main shaft)- is 7ft by 4ft wide and loft de.'p, and is well timbered, and has been «unk through two seairis of coal of sft and ift respectively on to a 2ft 6in seam. Fire, day is found in large quaijbities, and is pronounced by competent authority to_ be eminently adapted for pottery and sanitary pipes, gas retorts, fire-bricks, &ci ■ The coal is easily obtained, and is of the Snest quality for household and rnanufacturin" purposes, and its superiority for the proiuction of gas and tor steam purposes has been proved by reliable testa. As this coal is admitted to be areally good coal for steaming purpose*, it is proposed to have constant supplies in, depots, so that the public can always get what they may raquxre. Building stone i,s found on the property, and marble within a few chains, of- a very superior description, also abounds. The Building Stone is i fine white stone, easily worked, and does riot disintegrate, from exposuie to weather, some, quantity of this stone having been i-sed in, the building of the Christchurch Cathedral.' ... A large quantity of good Timber is in close proximity to the gro.unfi aQ d easily obtain-, able. The Coal has been tried for steam purposes and found to answer admirably, as the following testimonials shp,w.:-r Timaru, Nov. 29fch, 1880. To Mr George Meredith . Kaknhu.
