AO B E SO LI),
XTINE thousand acres cf land, situate on the river
T\ Lachawaxen, about ten miles from Delaware ri
ver, and about one honored miles from Trenton-Land
ing, to which large boats and rafts do commonly run
from Lachawasen in two or three days. On this trad
there is a great quantity of white and yellow pines of
every size, from an eighty fit malt ,0 toe size of a spa. ;
the pines are Freight and thrifty, and are equal t, any
on the Delaware tor marts, spars or boards. It is ac
commodated with four mhlfcais, on which sawmills
may be erected to great advantage —and tire whole tract
may be properly divided in two equal parts, to each of
which there would be three hundred acres of excellent
meadow ground, an hundred acres of which are cleared,
and produces wild grass i^ abundance From the mills,
when built, rafts, from twenty to unity thoufmd feet
of boards in each, may be Ant down these rivers to
Philadelphia.
Time will be given for payment of part of the pur
chase money, and the remainder will be taken in loan
office certificates. Apply to Micnael fbllegas, Efquhe,
Reuben Haines or Richard Weds, in Philadelphia; or
to the fubferiber at Trenton.
1 he inland navigation of the Delaware has been so
little attended to for fevcral years paR, .that at present
it is imperfectly known to many, who, if they were ac
quainted with it, advantages, would, suddenly reap pro
fits that in future cannot be obtained without a great
increase of their capital : ! have therefore fubjoimd an
estimate of the expences for which a lawmill, with four
saws, may be carried on on tne above estate.
CUTTING the logs, £.O 2 6
Hauling do. for five years, to
keep four laws cutting 250 days
in each year, - 050

Manager'^ wages, and rum cccafi

Rafting, and every contingent
charge included, to Philadelphia,
and delivering, - 1 0 0
— 4< y p er m .
N. B^ If the boards are delivered
at Trenton-Landing, the expence
of rafting will not exceed 12/6 p. m.
I suppose four saws will cut 800 m.
feet per annum, and that when
delivered at Philadelphia they
will fell for £. 6 per m. 4800 0 0
Deduct 4typer m. fall cost, i6co 0 0
£. 3200 0 0
I allow, in addition to this esti
mate, for accidents a'nd charges
arising fiom delays, per an
num, - 500 0 0
Net profit gained per annum, £.2700 0 0
IN the foregoing climate no notice is taken of the
profits arising from rafts of masts from sixty to seventy
feet long, each flick proportioned; nor of the lingular
advantages gained by lawiiig deck-plank of forty-live
feet long : They will, I believe, readily fell for thirty
five frillings per hundred sect; and if reduced to board
measure, would be equal to seventeen Killings 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 malls or spars.
We find, at present, a ready market for boards and
fcantling at Trenton; and if they arc of the hrll qua
lity, they will generally fell for fix pounds per thou
sand ; but when the permanent feat of Congress is fixed
011 the banks of the Delaware, may I not fay that the
demand for those articles will incrcalc, and that the
prices will rife in proportion to the demand ?
