No suec,2ssful attempt has hitherto been made to introduce
the superior coals of North Staffordshire into the London
Market, end the wealthy owners of the northern collieries have
hitherto enjoyed a monopoly.
For etie purpose of supplying the Metropolis with coals equal,
and in some respects superior, to the best " Wallsend, ' a
Cr any has been formed who have contracted for the purchase
h Dilhorne Colliery, with its engines and machinery, and the
fee !Ample of a large tract of adjoining mineral land, abound-
ing, in coal and iron, situate in the Northern Division of the
County of Stafford. Arrangements have been made with the
'.Lffcrent Canal Proprietors for the transit of the Coal at reduced
rates of tonnage ; and the Company will be enabled to deliver
to their Shareholders in London, at all seasons of the year, the
=very best quality of Coals at 225. 6d. per ton, leaving an ample
return for the Capital embarked.
The Coals have been burnt at many of the leading establish-
ments in London, who have furnished the most satisfactory
Testimonials to their quality as compared with the best Walls-
end Coals.
These Testimonials, with a Prospectus, may be had at the
‘Jffices of the Company, No.' 36, Old Jewry, where applications
for the remaining Shares will be received, addressed to the Se-
cretaries, if by letter, post paid.
