T O' BE SOLD,
NINE thousand acres of land, situate on the river
LachavVaxen, about ten miles from Delaware ri
ver, and about one hundred miles from Trenton-Land
ing, to which large boats and rafts do commonly run
from Lachawaxeri in two or three d ys. On this tract
there is a great quantity of white and yellow pines of
every size, from an eighty f-ct mast to the size of a spar;
the pines are Rraig.ht and thrifty; and are equal to any
on the Delaware lor mails, ipars or boards. It is ac
commodated with four miHLats, on which sawmills
may be erected to great advantage—and the whole trad
may be properly divided hr two equal parts, to each of
which there would be three hundred acres of excellent
meadow ground, an htmdi tri acres of which are cleared,
and produces wild grabs in abundance From the mills,
when built, rafts, burn twenty to thirty thouLud feet
of boards in erica, may be lent down these rivers to
Philadelphia.
Time will be given for payment of part of the pur
chase money; and the remainder will be taken 11 loan
office certificates. Apply to Michael Hilkgas, Eiquirc,
Reuben Haines or Richard Wells, in Pmiadciphia, or
to the subscriber at Trenton.
1 he inland navigation of the Delaware has been so
little attended to for several year D past, that at present
it is imperfectly known to many, who, if they were ac
quainted with its advantages, would luddeniy reap pro
fits that in future cannot be obtained without a great
increase of their capital : I have therefore subjoined an
estimate of the expences tor which a fawmiil, with four
saws, may be carried on on the above ettatc.
CUTTING the logs, £.O 2 6
\J Hauling do. for five years, to
keep four laws cutting 250 ua>s
in each year, - 050

Manager's wages, and rum occafi

Rafting, and every contingent
charge included, to Philadelphia,
and delivering, - 1 00
- 4c/ per in.
N. B. If the boards are delivered
at Trenton-Landing, the expence
of railing u ill not exceed 1 J 6 p. m.
I suppose four saws wid cut buo re.
feet per annum, and that when
delivered at Philadelphia they
will fell for /". 6 per m. 48^0 0 0
Deduct 4J per m. firft colt, i6;o 0 0

I allow, in addition to this esti
mate; fur accidents and charges
arising from delays, per an
num, - 500 0 0
Net profit gained perannum, £.2700 0 0
IN the foregoing estimate no notice is taken of the
profits arising from rafts cf malts from sixty to seventy
feet long, each kick proportioned; nor ot the lingular
advantages gained by tawing deck-plank of forty-live
feet long : They will, I believe, readily fell for thirty
five drillings per hundred feet; and if reduced to board
mealure, would 'be equal to seventeen {hidings and six
pence per hundred; it is therefore evident, that deck
plank will produce a greater profit than boards —and
they may be ratted with as little trouble, and more
fafety, than masts or spars.
We find, at present, a ready market for boards and
fcantling at 1 renton; and if they are of the firft qua
lity, they will generally fell for fix pounds per thou
faud ; but when the permanent feat of Congress is fixed
on the banks of the Delaware, may J not lay that the
demand for thole articles will increase, and that the
prices will rife in proportion to the demand ?
