TH E ruins of a compleat MERCHANT MILL,
(which was destroyed by the British army in
their late march through New-Jersey) together with
about 40 acres of Land, lituate on Black's creek,
about half a mile from Borden-Town, in the county
of Burlington, a healthy part of the country, distant
from Philadelphia 28 miles.
There yet remains on the premises a tolerable good
saw-mill, an old dwelling-house, kitchen, cooper's
ihop, stable, fmoak-houfe, &c. —The mill walls are
built of very good stone 37 by 52 feet, and about 18
feet high, the foundation of which being well fixed
on piles, are still fufficient to support a frame build
ing, or even stout enough to build upon with stone
or brick, having sustained little or no damage by the
fire. The mill consisted of two water wheels, and
three pair of stones all running double geer'd, for
which the foundation works are well calculated —be-
sides a spare water lane fuitabie for a small wheel for
hoisting, or many other purposes. The house was
large and convenient, four stones high, covering all
the wheels, and furnilhing granaries to contain about
10,000 bushels of grain, with a remarkable large
meal-loft, and the necessary room for boulting-chelts,
packing rooms, Loring flour, bran, shorts, &c. The
fore-bay and water-lanes are not so much damaged
but they may be repaired at a small expence. All the
iron work (which was made by a complete workman)
consisting of gudgions, spindles, rines, steps, pun
chions, bands, machine for railing and lowering mill
stones, &c. will be disposed of with theoremifes.
The advantages attending this valuable feat for any
kind of water-works are very great, the dream being
pretty good, and is raised to ten feet nine inches
head and fall —the tide flowing up the creek a short
distance from the river Delaware to the spot, a flat
boat has constantly carried from thence 120 barrels
of flour, and a vessel may easily be conftrurted which
may load at the mill-tail and carry off upwards of
200 barrels of flour with great convenience immedi
ately to Philadelphia market. The country for ma
ny miles round is fertile, and has always furnifhed
this mill with large quantities of wheat, rye, and
Indian corn ; besides great supplies of wheat annually
brought down the river Delaware in Durham boats,
which unload with much ease and dispatch, being
hoirted out by water dirertly into the mill. Exclu
sive of those advantageous circumstances a very am
ple supply of wheat may generally be had from Phi
ladelphia, by the return vessels which are continually
employed in tranfparting produce from the feverai
neighbouring landings on the creek and river, at a
reasonable freight, and has frequently been procured
on better terms than the wheat purchased ia this part
of the country. From either of those resources a
very plentiful supply of wheat for manufacturing may
always readily be purchased, with additional quan
tities for further speculation.
An iron-work was formerly ere&ed at this place,
which was supplied with pig-iron from Durham, and
other furnaces up the Delaware.
Will be fold with the above premises a lot of ground
near the mouth of the fame creek, whereon is ererted
a small dwelling-house, store-house, and wharf, for
the convenience of the mill, as well as for the bene
fit of the country, from whence considerable quanti
ties of grain, pork, flour, lumber and other produce,
are annually transported to Philadelphia, and from
whence a fhallop can carry about 300 barrels of flour--
being distant from the mill feat let's than half a mile.
There is also a quantity of white-oak and other va
luable timber part on the spot, and part about two
miles distant, already squared fuitabie for building a
large tumbling dam, which will be disposed of with
the fame, or Separately.
A good title will be given to the above described
premises. For terms of sale apply to Robert
Lewis, Merchant, in Philadelphia; Rorert Lew
is, jun. at Pennypack mill; William Lewis, near
Croffwicks; or to the subscriber on the premises.
