WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14th, 1878. At 2 o'clock. GREAT UNRESERVED LAND SALE. 2,373 ACRES SPLENDID LAND ON DEFERRED PAYMENTS, In farms of 70 to 200 Acres each. 400 Acres Ploughed and ready for Sowing. M,LANDRESS, HEPBURN, & CO. have received instructions to Sell by Auction, at their Rooms, Manse-street, Dunedin, on Wednesday, Rugust 14th, at 2 o'clock, CRICHTON PARK DOWNS, Being the original selection of Professor Black, carefully i 0 chosen by him for its richness of soil, in the Waikaka and N^ Waipahee Districts. Crichton Park is situated in the very midst of the finest Grain and Eoot-growing District in Otago, and free from swamps. At the same time it is watered by running streams and springs. The streams command excellent sites for Flour Mills. The soil is composed of Rich Chocolate Loam of great depth. The natural grass is white silvery tussock. The whole of the Property has a northern aspect, rich undulating downs, warm, and well sheltered for stock, and every section ploughable. Those who have visited the Property declare it to be the richest soil to be found in the whole District. It is surrounded by a most substantial ring fence of ditch and wire, 12 miles, 8 of which is sown with gorse. Special notice is drawn to sections 18 and part of 15 ploughed, part of 15 and 14 in turnips, in block VI, Waikaka, consisting of say 4(X) acres, which have been well manured by sheep, and is now in fine cropping order. In sub-dividing the property, care has been taken to to reserve good roads to each farm one chain wide, andwhere required culverts erected. Looking at recent Government Land sales where land brought from £8 to £17 per acre, and the rapid advance in the price of land in the northern portions of Otago, ancl the comparitively little attention that has yet been given to the southern part of the Province, these circumstances, coupled with the remarkable fertility of the soil and the advantageous situation of CRICHTON PARK DOWNS, all combine in making this property one of the choicest and most desirable in which farmers can select or investors speculate. The property now offered to the public has the advantage of the Southern Trunk Line passing through it with the Puker.au Station within half-a-mile, and. Otaria ten chains, it lies within 8 miles of Gore, and 4 from Waipahee Stations, thus giving great facilities for commanding the Dunedin, Invcrcargil], and Bluff markets. Intending Purchasers are warmly invited to inspect the Land. Mr. Charles Gardner (late tenant of the property, residing at the Pukurua Eailway Station) will show parties over, and afford them every information. Terms will be exceedingly liberal, viz. :— One f ourth cash, the balance in equal half-yearly acceptances extending over four yeais, with interest at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum.
