Promoters. John Hayhurst, Esq, Temuka Thomas Hardcastle, Esq, Kakahu A. W. Ensor, Esq, Orari R. A.

Hamersley, Esq, Timaru. 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 o';f the same, they have determined to p!ac 5 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 are now in course of erection close to the property. The particulars of the property are as foblows : It is freehold, of 20 acres in extent, the property of Mr George Meredith. In the land two shafts have been sunk. The main, or working shaft is Oft by sft 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 sft and 4ft respectively on to a 2ft fiin seam. Eire clay is found in large quantities, and is pronounced by competent authority to be ] eminently adapt ed for pottery and sanitary pipes, gas retorts, fire-bricks, &e. 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 bo areally good coal for steaming purposes, it is proposed to have constant supplies in depots, so that the public can always get what they may raquire. 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 does not disintegrate from exposure to weather, some quantity of this stone having been used in the building of the Christchurch Cathedral. A large quantity of good Timber is in close proximity to the ground and easily obtainable. The. Coal has been tried for steam purposes and found to answer admirably, as the tallowing testimonials show.; Timaru, Nov. 29th, 1880, To Mr George Meredith. Kakahu. Sir, —I have used the Coal supplied by you from the Kakahu Mine (about five tens) in my Mill at Timaru and found it most satisfactory, and consider the Coal well adapted to be used for steam purposes. (Signed) John G. Allen. Mr George Meredith, Kakahu. Sir. —I have used the Coal suppled by you from your Coal Mine, Kakahu, for my steam engine, mixing it with Newcastle Coal (half and half). I found it answer adnirably, much better than Newcastle Coal alcnc. I .consider the Kakahu Coal well adapted to be used for steam purposes. I am, &c., Erancis Pranks.
