The Promoters having had ths very valuable property (as described below) offered tothem by the Proprietor, and having made •' very satisfactory arrangements for the pur-J chase or lease of the same, they have deter-' mined to place the property, and the advanv tages connected with- it, before the Public! and to develop what, in their opinion mu&t 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 th\at the Company will be able to pay dividcncV-s shortly after starting. Large Lime Kilns are now in course of erection close to the property. The particulars of the property ar*> 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 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 de.-p, and is well timbered, and lias been sunk through two seams of coal of sft and 4ft respectively on to a 2ft Gin seam. Fireclay is found in large quantities, and is pronounced by competent authority to be [ eminently adapted for pottery and sanitary ! pipes, gas retorts, fire-bricks, &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 roliable tests. As this coal is admitted to bo a really good coal for steaming purposes, it is proposed to hare constant supplies in depots, so that the public can always get what they may raquire. ■i g stone is found on the propelty, a b>- within a few chains, of a very i. & seription, also abounds. *i lding Stone is a fine white stone,. e £ i oc ked, and does not disintegrate from cxrx oto weather, some quantity of this Bto i ing been used in the building of the J ■ ■ u relx Cathedral. A large quantity of good Timber is in close proximity to the ground and easily obtainable. The Coal lias been tried for steam purposes and found to answer admirably, as the following testimonials show.: j Timaru, Nov. 29th, 1880. \ To Mr George Meredith. Kt.kahu.
