IMPORTANT TO CAPITALISTS.—THE CEDRYN SLATE
QUARRY, OF CONSIDERABLE EXTENT, IN HIGH
REPUTE, AND CARRYING ON AT THIS MOMENT
AN IMMENSE TRAFFIC.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to notify to the
1 Public he is directed by those interested in this value-
able Property, to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on
THURSDAY, the 17th October, at Twelve, in One Lot, and perem-
torily, a VERY PROMISING INVESTMENT,
THE CEDRYN SLATE QUARRY, OF GREA P EXTENT,
situate in Carnarvenshire, North Wales. If it be inquired why a
I concern that is so highly eulogised should be in the market, it is
rejoined (to use a very ancient and very homely adage), " too
many cooks frequently spoil the broth." One competent person,
possessing a brain farm, will speedily accomplish all that this
announcement has in perspective, and even more under a talented
direction,
The Slate is of excellent quality, of a rich grey-blue colour, and
can be had in abundance under a very thin corer.
The work is already about 40 yards wide, and Is capable of
being extended to upwards of
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTI YARDS,
where a large number of men may be employed most advanta-
geously, and without the slightest risk. This is an investment af.
fording a rare opportunity to 'any party with moderate capital to
REALISE A LARGE FORTUNE.
y of the foregoing state-
The observations which follow are extracted front a Welsh
, to see the Quarry, and
my opinion is, that there is something extraordinary in it ; it
.Paepnetr:,_anid,

can be made, with a few thousands outlay,
THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OF THIS SORT
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
The vein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than ISO
yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any ob-
struction, and as deep as any parties may feel inclined to go,
wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useftil materiel
TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES
TO COME;
and with good management the profits would—they could not be less
than from 100 to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in
proper order. It will employ many hundred men to great
advantage. Another desirable point connected with this concern
is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two or three yards
deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten or fifteen yards
cover. The ?workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in
good repair, as also the road, three miles of which has been made
at the expense of nearly 2,0001.;
THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE.
Another point is worthy of consideration, the work is on the side of
the celebrated Carnarvon Hills, and a sufficient declivity affords to
the water a cheap conveyance to
THE BEAUTIFUL EIGIA LAKE.
These splendid waters are full of fish, and consequently afford lots
of amusement, and the hill prevents the impossibility of any annoy-
ance to the works from water, The distance to a capital ,
shipping wharf is only seven miles, and but nine to the intended
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY.
The name of the concern is
THE " CEDRYN QUARRY,"
situate about ten miles from Banger, and the same distance from
Conway and Llanrwst, in the centre between the three towns.
" It is held under
THE RIGHT HON. LORD NEWBOROUGH
for an unexpired term of twenty-eight years, which can be extended
at any time.
" In conclusion, we can only add that the Quarry
ought to pro-
duce a considerable sum, as it is
A SURE FORTUNE FOR ANY SPIRITED PARTY
who may be lucky enough to get it."
This unpretending statement of facts will convince even those
inclined to be sceptical, that it is an investment free from doubt or
uncertainty.
Full particulars may be had on application to Mr. E. Owen,
Auctioneer, Ruthin ; to Mr. George Robins, London ; the
Waterloo, Liverpool ; the Albion, Manchester : and the White
Lion, Bristol.
