The Promoters haying 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, 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"'tlieT»i.s(rict of SuiiMi ra.nte'.-bmy. - A small amount of capital will be required to purchase the necessary machinery and to put the mine in good working order, so thai; 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 follows : 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 9ft 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 dep, and is well timbered, and has been sunk through two scams of coal of oft and 4ft respectively on to a 2ffc fiin seam. Eire clay is found in large quantities, and is pronounced by competent authority to be eminently adapt eel for pottery and sanitary pipes, gas retorts, fire-bricks, &e. The coal is easilv obtained, and is of the ing 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 raquire. Building stono is found on the propel ty, 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 oxposuie to weather, some quantity of this stone baring been jsed in the building of the Christchurch Cathedral. A large quantity of good Timber is in close proximity to the g.ound and easily obtainable. The Coal has been tried for steam purposes and found to answer admirably, as the following testimonials show.: Timaru, Nov. 29th, 1880. To Mr George Meredith.. Kakahu.
