This Company has been formed for the purchase of the
Freehold Landed Estate of 152 acres, together with the Ma-
chinery, Plant, and the Coal, Ironstone, and Minerals, there-
under, as also under 119 acres of land adjoining, embracing
five seams of first-rate coal, together nearly 900 acres, adapted
for house, gas, coke, and manufacturing purposes.
The property is situated in the parish of 'Whittington, near
Chesterfield, on a branch of the Midland Railway, and near
the Chesterfield Canal.
The colliery is raising above 750 tons per week, which is con-
tracted for by highly respectable firms, whilst the machinery
Is capable of raising 1,000 tons per week, and as soon as the
lower seams are reached, the outlay for which is provided for
in the capital of £60,000, at least 2,000 tons per week, inde-
pendently of the ironstone, will be raised.
The present returns from the Land, Colliery, and Iron-
stone, after all deductions, will give a net profit of 16 per
cent. to the Shareholders ; and when the workings are ex-
tended (within two years) nearly double that profit may be
relied on.
By the arrangements for the purchase, £20,000 remain on
Inortgage over a period of years, and not more than £2 will
be called up for the first twelve months, and £2 during the
second year, beyond which it is not expected further calls
Will be made.
Full particulars., together with the valuations and estimates
of Messrs. .Teffcock and Walker, Haslehurst, and others, and
the calculations of an experienced Mineral Agent, will appear
in the prospectus, which, with Forms of Application, may be

tors and Brokers, to whom applications for Shares are to be
