The Promoters having had th? very vainson,- properly (as described below) offered to :Vni by the Proprietor, and having made satisfactory arrangements for the pur-Gni-e 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 he 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 {« purchase the necessary machinery, and to (jut '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 dose 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 Sftby 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 de:-p, and is well timbered, and ha- been sunk through two seams of coal of sft and 4ft respectively on to a 2ft 6in seam. Fire clay’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'qiiality 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 be areally good coal for steaming purposes, it is proposed to have constant supplies in depots, so that the üblic can always get what they may raquire. B n g stone is found on the propeity, Ci | i within a few chains, of a very 4 scriplion, also abounds. Xil -i Idling Stone is a fine white stone, 0 ked, and does not disintegrate from ' to' weather, some quantity of this Xa been used in the building of the ri 1 a rob Cathedral. A large quantity of good Timber is in close proximity to the ground and easily obtamable. ' The Coal has been tried for steam purposes and found to answer admirably, as the following testimonials show.; — 6 Timaru. Nov. 29th, ISSO. To Mr George MeredithKakahu.
