The Limehills Lime Burning Works. These works stand upon a Government reserve of seventy acres, and have a complete plant for the treatment of the stone, including a furnace kiln, which burns coal. There is a forty-foot face of lime extending over about twenty acres, and the works turn out from 100 to 150 tons weekly. A railway siding connects the works with the Government siding at Limehills. About eight persons are employed at the works. Messrs J. G. Ward and Co. are agents at Invercargill.
