FLINTSHIRE

TO IRONMASTERS, CAPITALISTS, AND OTHERS.
Highly valuable and extensive MINES of COAL, under
Two Hundred and Thirty Acres of Land, or thereabouts,
called" THE DEE BANK COLLIERY," situated at
BAGILLT, near Holywell, in the county of Flint.
By Messrs. WINSTANLEY and SONS,

On WEDNESDAY, the 6th day of April next, at Twelve
o'clock at Noon, at the Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool, sab-
.

ject to conditions, in one Lot, (with the consent of the
Landlord, Sir J. Hamner, Bart., M.P.)
ALL that valuable and productive LEASEHOLri COL-
LIERY, now in full work, called "THE DEE BANK
COLLIERY," situated at Bagillt, about one mileirom Holy-
well, in the county of Flint; together with the. HOUSES,
OFFICES, powerful ENGINES and MACHINERY,
SHIPPING, RAILWAYS, STAGES, TOOLS, IMPLE-
MENTS, and MATERIALS thereunto belonging, occupied
by the Proprietors, the Vendors.
This Colliery, which comprises 'rich Mineral Ground, is
held under a Lease, from Sir John Hanmer, Bart., for an un-
expired term of ten years, subject to the rent or royalty of
one-seventh part of the mines to be raised, or, at the option
of the Lessor, one-seventh part of the value of such Mines.
In the Lands are the following SEAMS of COALS, an
inconsiderable portion of which have been worked, namely, a
15-foot Coal, a 9-foot Coal, a 4-foot Coal, a 5-foot Coal, and
a 3-foot Coal.

The Coals are of an excellent quality, and well adapted
for Steam-engines, Lead Smelting, House and other purposes.
The Colliery is immediately contiguous to the river Dee,
and adjoins the turnpike-road between the towns of Flint and
llolywell. It has been established for a number of years,
and commands an extensive home trade also along the Welsh
coast and in the counties of Chester and Lancaster. There is
also a great sale of the produce of these Mines in Ireland, ex-
tending from Cork to Newry, including the city of Dublin.
The Bank Sale is also daily increasing, the most conside-
rable Lead Smelting and Manufactory Establishments in
North Wales being in the immediate vicinity of the Works,
and obtaining their supplies from it.
The sale of Coals at the works at present is about 30,000
tons per annum, but the consumption may be greatly in-
creased by the erection of Blast Furnaces, for which the situ-
ation is peculiarly favourable.

It being within two hours' sail of the port of Liverpool,
and in the opinion of eminent authorities who have given their
best consideration to the subject, Pig Iron can be manufac-
tured at these Works, owing to the superior yield of the Iron
Stones and the quality of the Coals, together with other local
advantages, at a lower rate than any other iron making dis-
trict in the kingdom.
The roads to the Colliery are excellent in all directions,
and it will be much enhanced in value by the proposed great
National Railway from London to Chester and Holyhead
passing through the centre of the Property.
The Proprietors are only induced to offer these Works for
sale in consequence of the demise of several of the share-
holders, and it is confidently asserted that a more lucrative
or desirable investment for capital has seldom if ever been
submitted to public competition.

Mr. John Joules, the Ground Bailiff at the Works, will
show the same; and all necessary information may be obtained
upon application to S. S. Kenrick, Esq., Greenfield, Holy-
well ; D. Mushet, Esq., Coleford, Monmouth ; Robert
Daglish, Esq., Oriel Cottage, Wigan ; J. Finch, Esq., A.
Mossman, Esq., and Mr. Tyrer, Solicitor, all of Liverpool;
Messrs. Vincent and Sherwood, Solicitors, 9, King's Bench
Walk, Temple, London ; John Oldfield, Esq., Solicitor,
Pendre, Holvwell, Flintshire ; or at the offices of Messrs.
Harper and Parry Jones, Solicitors, Whitchurch, Salop.
