The property has been critically examined by a Com mittee appointed for that purpose, and the territory pro nounced, in their judgment, to be fully equal to that on Oil Creek, along which the largest oil wells ever dis covered have been found. The lands resemble those on Oil Creek in every parti cular, and it la believed, from the large number of Oil Springs in dose proximity, that valuable wells will be opened on both these tracts. The management have already secured several en gines, and engaged a competent Superintendent, with a view to immediate and energetic development.
