Itare Chance for Manufacturers.
THAT desirable location known as Moretown,
situated at the great falls of the Colorado
River, about 50 miles from the city of Austin, is
now offered for sale on very advantageous terms.
This sp'endid water power presents advantages
for improvement rarely to be met with. Tlie river
here has a fall of 4GJ feet in about one mile, so
divided as to make several mill sites, and the vasf5
amount of waterafforded furnishes an immense
amount of potwr. The tract consists of 588
acres, at the lo^bfalls, on the West side of the
river a considwble part of which is covered
with excellent cedar timber for building purposes.
The advantages combine# ia this location are
rarely equalled by the manufacturing cities at the
North. Further description is deemed unnecessa-
ry as the property must be seen to be appreciated.
To a company of manufacturing capitalists an
undivided half interest Wonld be sold, and to those
of smaller means who desire to improve, building
lot# would be sold on very low terms. For fur-
theT- particulars inquire of
