PROSPECTUS.
The extensive and valuable properiles of Crawshayßails ,
M P., known as the Abcraman Iron Wotke and C01b„,.1.37,
b„,.1.37, are of European celebrity, and therefore only a very
'ler cle,cription of them will he necessary.
~,The properly, which has been carefully surveyed by Joshua
o`l'hardson, Esq , M 1.C.E., F.G.S , extends over an area
t 1,53 acres of Freehold Land, and is on tn. North Crop of
the South Wales Coa, Basin. and contains a greater number
„
the veins of i oilstone and coal than is usually found in
'll property of equal extent.
"Ile great a d desirable feature of this property is, that it
,!,Freehold except es to one-third of' the minerals, upon
which there' is- a trifling royalty.
jhe coal is th,' noted berdare St am Coal. and certified
Rthardson as " The best steam coal in the kingdom,
• sta ds at the head of the Government list.
e Tr Richardson describes the property in his Report "as
I.lenitaining 16 veins of coal, of the aggregate thickness of 48
gae,t, besides the numerous courses of ironstone, of the ag•,gre-
,,Le thickness of teet these ext nd over the area of the
estate, and • liere are four veins of the average th
Or 8 feet, which crop out on the side of the mountain ;
laci below the 9 feet there are four more veins of coal of 10
'et in thickness."
phe ironstone " is the black bind, a carbonaceous ore,
tru.lch is comparatively rare, and elds from 6)to 70 percent.

regate thickness is 54 feet.
\,,,The estate contains at least 91,485.440 tons of whole or uOO
black coal, which would yield a supply of upwards ot 00
b?as* band'

th'uls Company has entered into a provisional c,ntract for

pertakin, requiring to be developed, but from an old-estab-

St the
has been arranged that the services of the whole staff are

..!_he Company will enlarge the capabilities of the Works
~7(.1 Colliery, and thus materially enhance the value of the
property.
10Joshua Richardson, Esq., has concluded his Report s
"'vs I—" In conclusion, I beg leave to observe, that I have
rarely inspected a mineral property in which the facilities for
he cheap production and conversion of the coal and ironstone
'`rc 4,reater, and in which the vast resources may be more
largely developed. 'Phis property contains the best steam
Coal in the k ngdom, La. which at present there is a great de-
and, at highly remunerative prices. Without presuming
q) enter into a discuss on of subjects not submitted to my
Consideration, you will perhaps allow me to acid, that a
greatly increased production of both coal and iron might be
effected by the outlay of from £5,000 to £7,000, end that I
be feve there are but ve'y few conce.ns in South Wales
which would be more highly remunerative were the deve-
lopment of its resources carried to a much greater extent."
Mr. David Jones has also reported as follows :
The Aberaman Est to Iron Works and Colliery of Crawshay
Bailey, Esq., M P., in the county of GI ,morg,an.
I ave been the hief engineer of several railways, mining
en in( er for the late Thomas Po veil, Esq., coal merchanr,
and engineer for se% oral iron works and collierie , includieg
Aberaman, for the last 25 years.
r'rom this circumstance, and my acquaintance with the
Aberaman Works from their opening, I have no hesitation in
saying that Mr Bai ey has worke I them mil to a very limited
extent ; and with a comparatively moderate outlay, a net
income' of £lOO, 00 a-year can be re lised from the estate. I
I!ta of opinion also that the come can be increased yearly
or a very lone' period, as the iron stone, black ban iron ore,
,111',ci lire clay are, as it were, inexhaustible, and the Collieries
• yield 1,000 tons of the beet steam coal a day for about
The while property is exceedingly valuable,
and possesses unusual advantages for manufacture, car-
