WILL be exposed to• public sale, on the premises, at the house of Lewis Billings, on Fifth -Day the 17th of October, a valuable body of Timber Lands, with the improve ments, containing about 2838 acres, more or less, situated on Hickory Run, in Kidder township, Carbon County. The lands are on both sides of said creek ; the timber con sists of White and Yellow Pine, Sprtice, Hemlock, Oak, and Chestnut; the quantity of White Pine is large. of good quality, and easy of access-Hog reads being already made, extending into some of the groves, . The improvements are a Iv , new and substantial Saw 4% ;;;;; JJ Mill, now about being fin- 7 . • 1-2 '-` ,- -'-ished, and is expected to -.- be ready to run before the day of sale. The water-wheel is an overshot, 2S feet in dia meter; the gearing and fixtures including an edger are on the most approved plan, and the workmanship done in the best man ner, under the immediate direction of John Apple, who is-so favorably known as an experienced millwright. The foundations, both of the mill and dam, are upon a solid rock, and.the frame of the Mill stands upon a substantial stone will. It is located en and 'propelled by the waters of Hickory Run, on the slack water navigation of the Lehildi. live miles below White / laven, with suffi cient room to pile 500,000 feet of lumber at no time. From the mill to the wharf there • is a good wagon road, (with the exception a short distance not yet opened,) the whole distance being about two and three-fourths f miles, the ground descending most ling ttl eHWoauys n 'T here eart a h r e e three n a ll % i l l e e l l t - , so stable,&c.—Said improvements are located on the tri-weekly mail stage rood from Merwinesburg to White Haven, where the said road crosses Hickory Run, and about five miles from the latter place. On the premises, about three-fourths of s mile above said Saw Mill and. mprovements, .up Hickory Run, is a new and well finished Dwelling House, two anal a half stories high. Also, about three-fourths of a stone data remaining, a part of which gave way last fall, and with it carried away a new Saw Mill connected therewith. The dam can be repaired nt a small expense, and will afford an excellent site for either a steam or water power Mill. There are also other • eligible sites for building Mills on the pre mises. In the old Mill dam, and at and near the old Mill, there are about 4000 saw logs, which were stocked in the winter of 1848-9, and about 500 chopped and pealed, that re main in the woods. Also, a large quantity of wrought iron work and castings on the premises, and a part of the gearing and frame of the Mill that was carried away by the flood, which can be used again in re-build ing—all of which will be included in the sale of the property here advertised. Taking into view the location of the above property, the improvements, tho vast quan tity of valuable timber, the convenience of roads, wharf, &c., all in order for immediate operation without any outlay or expense* is believed that rarely, if ever such induce ments have been offered on the Lehigh to persons wishing to engage in the manufac uring of lumber or the investment of capi al in timber lands. Immediate rossession will be given on the payment of one-fourth of the purchase money, or satisfactorily securing it to be paid on the Ist day of April, A.
