The Promoters haying had tha very valuable property (as described bclpw) offered to them by the Proprietor, and having made fsvf satisfactory arrangements for the purchase or lease of the same, they bfve determined to plac3 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 small 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 ghortly 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.

The sh >ft is timbered from |he Surface. The other shaft referred to (half a chain from the main shaft) is 7ft bj 4ft wide ard 45ft and is well timbered, and has been sunk through two seams of coal of sft and 4ft respectively on to a 2ft 6m seam.

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.
