St. G. i?- t-™.,.., I The Promoters having net! th» very valuable property (as described below) offered to them by the Proprietor, and having made jerf satisfactory arrangements for the purchase or lease of the same, they heve determined to plac? the'property, sind the advantages conneded 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. I A small amount of capital will be required ) to purchase the n?cessary .machinery and to j put the mine in good working order, so that } the Company will be able to pay dividends i shortly after starting. Large Lime Kilns are j now in course of erection close to the pro- j perty. j The particulars of the property are as fol- j lows : It is freehold, of 20 acres in extent, j the property of Mr George Meredith. In the j landtwo shafts have been sunk. The main, j or working shaft is 9ft by sft wide, and is 32ft i deep;'from which coal has been raised from a j 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 I 4oft de 'p, and is well timbered, and has been ; sunk through two seams of coal of sft and I 4ft respectively on to a 2ft 6in seam: Fire j clay is ifound in large quantities, and is pro- I nounced by '■ competent authority to be j eminently adapted for pottery and sanitary j pipes, gas retorts, fire-bricks, &c. • j The cool is easily obtained, and is of the j finest quality for household arid manufactur- j mg purposes, and its superiority for the pro- | duction of gas and for steam purposes has been proved by roliable tests. ■ As this coal is admitted to be areally good coal for steaming purposes, it is proposed to bare constant supplies in depots, so that the ' üblic can always get what they may raqnire. "M :L ;i i g stone is found on the piope;ty, n bl within a few chains, of a very ••> i I seription, also abounds.
