The Promoters having had tin very valuable property (as described below) offered to s|iem by the Proprietor, and-, haying made tivf sa!i>f«clor^:ir:angemeats 4 ! fo'r Ihe purchase or iease of the same, they lirve determined to plac? th?property, and the ad ran tiiges connec.ed wltli it, before the Public, and to develop v wliat, in their opinicu must prove to be a° most successful irdertaking. and one that will prove of immense advantage to the District of South Canterbury'. A small amount of capita! 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. 1 arge Lime Kilns are now in cotirss of erection close to the property. The particulars o. r the property are as foj-. lows : It is freehold, of 20 acres in extent, the property of Mr George Meredith. In tie land two.shafts have been sunk. The main, or working shaft is 9ft by'sft «ide, and is 32ft deep, from which coal has been raised from a seam 2ft thick. The sh ift is 'timbered from the Surface. " The other shaft rrferred to flmlf a phain from the iaain shaft) is 7ft by 4ft wide a:d 45ft de p, and is well timbered, and has been sunk through two seams of coal of oft r.nd 4ft respectively on to a 2ft ,Gin seam. Fire c-;jv is found in iargequantities, and. is pronounced by competent authority to be ejr.inent.ly adapted for pottery and sanitary \ ij es, gas retoits, fire-bricks, &e. The coal is easily obtained, and i« of the fijest quality for household and manufacturing purposes, and its supeiioiity lor the production of gas and. for steam purposes has cee'n proved by roliable tests. As this coal.is admitted to be aieally good coal for steaming purposes, it is proposed to have constant supples in depots, so that the public can always get what they may require. "Bui-ding stone'is found on the piope;ty, and marble within a few chains, of a very superior description, also abounds.
