milis north ot
Chesterfield and nine miles south of Sheffield, is ntersected
by the main line of the Midlind Railway, with which the pits
and working are connected by a branch line and extensive
sidings, and it Is expected the intended new main line of the
Midland Railway, via Sheffield, will pass through the centre
of the estate, with which the Chesterfield Can Al also commu-
nicates.
The Freehold Estate comprises 170 acres of arable and
pasture land of superior quality, upon which are ere ted two
excellent residences, with suitable domestic offices and farm-
buildings, a corn mill, three good dwelling-houses. and 24
cottages, the whole producing a rental of £7OO a year.

(except 25 acres, which are held for a term of which 20 years
are unexpired, free of rent or royalty), and contains e x
several seams of coal, and three beds of Ironettne, estimated
to produce upwards of 6,003,C00 tons of good workable Coal,
suitable for house or manufacturing purposes, coke, or gas ;
and also 2,500,000 tons of Ironstone.
All the seams of Coal and Ironstone have been fully proved,
including the celebrated Silkstone Coal, to which two pits or
shafts are sunk and in work.
The plant and machinery are of the most substantial Et' d
efficient character, capable of delivering 500 tons of coal per
day, and are included in the purchase
The Collieries are now producing upwards of 1,000 tons per
Week.

the first quality, which produces the same class of iron as
that made by the Dunstan and Barlow Company, which
enjois so high a reputa ion in her Majesty's Dockymrds for
armour plate., &c. The working has recently been com-
menced with the most successful results, the present de-
iv
ery being 300 ton* per week, for which there is a ready
sale.

tons per week, and for which there is a large demand.
