- THE PRINCIPAL COLLIERY
(the works of which are situate at Cwm Cock) are about one mile
from the residence at Thornhill, and will be found to be one of

THE MOST VALUABLE IN GREAT BRITAIN.

It combines a large district of country•, with uninterrupted way
courses, an enormous body of coal entirely level dry. Eight work.
ing and air pits are already sunk, and railway communication estab-
lished with a good part and floating dock, distant fourteen miles.
There are ten good working seams, from two feet to nine feet in
thickness, of the very best species of ANTHRACITE COAL, the
superiority of which for making iron is now fully established. The
present state of this colliery is so promising that
100,000 TONS OF COAL PER ANNUM
might be worked for the residue of the term with the greatest faci.
lity, without the aid of any engine power for pumping. A Railway,
terminating at the floating dock at Llanelly, where vessels of 700
tons may be loaded, passes within about the distance of 100 yards
from the main shaft.

Also a very desirable Freehold Estate, in the parish of Llanon,
Carmarthenshire, near adjoining to Thornhill, and containing
about SO acres of Pasture and Arable Land. Upon this estate is

A ROADSIDE INN,
called the Cross Hands, situate on the high road from Swansea to
Carmarthen, at which the mail coach changes horses. The estate
is divided into four small farms, on which are farm-houses and all
other requisite buildings for the pursuits of agriculture. On this
property there is also a very valuable colliery open, and the right
of working coal
EXTENDS UNDER ABOUT 900 ACRES.
The coal has been worked for some years, and is of the best de-
scription known in the Anthracite district. The Railway previously
alluded to passes within 200 yards from the principal working
shaft of this colliery. In connection with the above-mentioned
properties, there is another very valuable Freehold Estate, situate
AT LOUGHOR, IN GLAMORGANSHIRE,
