With a view tn the more convenient and extensive use of the unlimited water power at the Falls of Niagara, the subscriber has located a large raceway, to serve also as a navigable canal; commencing at a point on the shore of the river where the water is deep and navigable, above the great Falls, and terminating on the high bunk about half a mile below. This canal, about three-fourths of a mile in length, has been surveyed, and levels taken by an experien- ced Engineer, who estimates the whole cost nf the canal, with its appurtenances, of sufRcient capacity to afford water power for at least sixty run of mill stone, within the sum of Thirty thousand dollars. The front along the bank of the river near the lower termination of the canal, extending about three thousand leet, (now unoccupied,) can be most conveniently supplied with water from the canal, and is adapted to the building of large establishments, on a foundation <if solid rock, und with any required head and fall. The quantity of water that may be used can only be limited by the size of the canal, which may be enlarged to any extent, nt an expense some what less in proportion than the cost of the one now proposed. The Niagara river, the inexhaustable source, is unaffected by floods or droughts, and at the point where the canal is supplied, will be entirely free from obstruction by ice. The subscriber now offers to sell the right of constructiug and using such a canal, and so much land as may be desired, from twenty to one hundred acres at the lower termination thereof, to any person or persons who will under- take its immediate conatrurtiou. Or he will sell a less interest, retaining a part, and contributing to the improve- ment. Further description of the pri is not deemed necessary, but any desired information will be promptly commu- nicated; and reference is made lo William A. Bird, Esc). of Black Rock, and Pbter Emslic, Esq. Civil Engineer, Buffalo. AUGUSTUS PORTER. Niagara Falls, .i iniKinj, lf*47.
