VALUABLE AND EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES IN

MERIONETHSHIRE, NORTH WALES.
A CAPITAL AND PERFECTLY SECURE INVESTMENT.
To .he DISPOSED OF, the EXTENSIVE
YY SLATE QUARRIES, upon which a considerable eapiial
has been expended in arriving at the present favourable state.
This Property has capability to carry it out to an extent almost
indefinite. The royalty is very low, and the terms of the lesSe
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 ,pportunity to
purchase the fee-simple on very advantageous terns, is amongst
the most prominent of its numberless advantages.
This quarry (in Merionet hshire, close to Carnarvonshire) is identi.
rally the same vein of slate as the three large quarries on Mrs.
Oakeley's property, which are the most 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 en
being made the largest quarry in Merionethshire; and, after
Bangor and Llanberria, the largest Slate Quarry in Wale,. 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 Nerdy,
1842, which in all its conditions is more favourable to the capitalist
undertaking to work the quarry, than those of any of their com-
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 in such manner, 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-
hausted in many generations. The present openings are so made
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.
madoc blue Slate, easily worked, durable, and free from spot, stain,
or blemish. Though the rein 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 about two hundred acres of land, available for various pur-
poses, is included in the property—it will be of great value 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 continent 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 favourable 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 ♦icinity 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.
Principals only will make application at Mr. George Robins's
Offices, Covent-garden, who takes this opportunity to eall the atten.
tion of the moneyed world to this valuable undertaking.
