NINE thousand acres of land, situate on the river
Lachawaxen, 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 Lachawaxen in two or three days. On this tract
there is a great quantity of white and yellow pines of
every size, from an eighty feet mast to the lize of a spar;
the pines are Straight and thrifty, and are equal to any
on the Delaware tor masts, spars or boards. It is ac
commodated with four millfeats, on which lawmills
may be erected to great advantage —and the whole trad:
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 in abundance. From the mills,
when built, rafts, from twenty to thirty thousand feet
lof boards in each, may be sent down these rivers to
y Philadelphia;
I Time will be given for payment of part of the pur

1 he inland navigation of the Delaware has been so
little attended to for fevera! years palt, that at present
it is imperfectly known to many, who, if they were ac
quainted with its advantages, would Suddenly reap pro
fits that in future cannot be obtained without a great
I increase of their capital: I have therefore Subjoined an
estimate of the ex, cnees for which a lawmnl, with four

IN the foregoing estimate no notice is taken of the

advantages gained by rawing deck-plank of forty-five
feel long : They wul, I beuevc, readily fell for thirty
five Ihillmgs per hundred ket; and 11 reduced to board
measure, would be equal to feventcen findings and lix
peece yer hundred; it i^ therefore evident, that deck
plank will produce a^greater profit than boards—and
they may be railed with as little trouble, and more
filet), than malts or spars.
We hod, at present, a ready market for boards and
remitting at Trenton; and if they arc ol the fill qua
