VALUABLE AND EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES IN
MERIONETHSHIRE, NORTH WALES.

A CA PI PAL AND PERFECTLY SECURE INVESTMENT.
T° he DI SPONED OF, the EXTENMIVE
SLATE QUARRIES, upon which a considerable capital
has been expended in arriving at the present favourable stato.•
This Property has capability to carry it out to an extent almost
indefinite. The royalty is very low, and the terms of the lime
are unusually favourable. It will afford to a company or a few
capitalists an opportunity of investing .

FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS,
With a prospective view most encouraging, and the opportunity to
purchase the fee.simple on vi ry advantageous terms, is amongst
the most prominent of its numberless advantages.
This quarry (in Merionethshire, close to Carnarvonshire) is identi.
ally the same vein of slate as the three large quarries on Mrs.
Oakeley's property, which are the moat extensive slate quarries now
worked in Merionethshire. It is situated upon the opposite side
of the same hill, the summit of which is the boundary between
the Cwmorthin and Oakeley properties ; and the vein, which in the
latter estate is divided into three extensive quarries, has an extent
on the Cwmorthin side equal to all three together, and capable of
being made the largest quarry in Merionethshire; and, after
Bangor and Llanberris, the largest Slate Quarry in Wales. A
disagreement in the partnership, arising out of a difference of
opinion as to the best mode of working the quarry, was terminated
by the common consent of all the parties, and this is the sole
reason why this valuable property is now to be disposed of. The
present tenants hold under a forty years' lease, dated 20th March,
1942, which in all its conditions is more favourable to the capitalist
undertaking to work the quarry, than those of any of their corn.
petitors in the market. But the fee.simple can be bought upon
terms which would enable the purchaser to secure large profits,
where the quarries paying heavy royalties merely enrich the land-
lords; independently of being able to work the quarries wholly
without interference, and to such extent, and .n such mannerg,as
to obtain the greatest possible profit from a property which,
properly managed, -increases in value the longer it is worked,
since more Slate is continually opened, and which will not be ex.
haunted in many generations. The present openings are so nsade
as to be capable of indefinite extension—a small outlay would''
bring an immediate return of Slate, which might be increased at
the discretion of the proprietor. The metal is of the purest Port-
madee blue Sla e, easily worked, durable, and free from spot, stain,
or blemish. Though the vein is barely opened in the top (as shewn
in the plan), above eight hundred tons of Slates have already been
made, of a quality in every way satisfactory, and it continues to
improve, the deeper the rock is gone into. An extensive farm,
with aboutlwe hundred acres of land, available for various pur-
poses, is included in the property—it will be of great valuo to the
party working the quarry. A fall of water gives all the power
needed for machinery to saw and plane slate; the use of which
in articles of furniture and in house building is rapidly and daily ex-
tending. There is cheap and easy carriage by the Ffestiniog
Railway to Portmadoc. And when the increasing demand at home
and on the cor.tinent for Portmadoc blue Slate, the extensive pro.
gress of buildings throughout the kingdom, and the peculiar ad.
vantages offered by the Cwmorthin Quarry are considered, it will
be found that a more tavourable opportunity is seldom met with
for the investment of capital. with large immediate profit, and con-
tinued accumulation of the value of the principal in perspective.
There are many admirable sites in the vicinity for the erection of
an abode suited to the proprietor of these works. The situation
is well known to be one of the most beautiful in North Wales, with
capital sporting and the best salmon and trout fishing in the
country.

Principal• only will make application at Mr. George Robins's
Offices, Covent-garden, who takes this opportunity to call the atten.
tion of the moneyed world to this valuable undertaking.
