The Promoters having bad tlia very raluifible property (as described below) offered to them by the Proprietor, and having made fery satisfactory arrangements for the purchase or lease of the same, they have determined to place 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 sipall 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 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, front, 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 Gin seam. Eire clay is found in large quantities, and is pronounced by competent authority to be eminently adapl ed 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, s team purposes has been proved by reliable tests. As this coal is admitted to be areally good coal for steaming purposes, it is proposed to have constant supplies in depots, so that the üblic can always get what thev may raquire. B . • n g stone is found on the property, u i t within a few chains, of a very d seriplion, also abounds. Til ■ 11 Icling Stone is a fine white stone, 0 ked. and does not disintegrate from to weather, some quantity of this 'rg been used in the building of the net u rch Cathedral. A large quantity ofhood 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 following testimonials show.; Timarii, Nor. 29th, 1880. To Mr George Meredith. Kakahu. Sir, — I have used the Coalsnpplied by you from the Kakahu Mine (about five tons) in my Mill at Timnru and found it most satisfactory, and consider the Coal well adapted to be used for steam purposes.
