It takes ia tie wide of tie valley for. over a mile in extent, riving a frontage on tie Broken-Straw Creek of over two miles. It also extends northward over tie bins', and takes in a considerable portion of. tbe .Bine-Eye Ban, a tributary ofthe Broken-Straw. Broken-Straw Creek takes its rise bom tie east side of tie bluff, which gives rise to the celebrated Oil Creek, oa the west side. It is navigable from tie Cotter Barm to the Alle gieay River, a distance of ten miles, and tins affords' facilities for transportation by boat toPittsbnrr. As mentioned before; the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad rims directly through the property on the hank of the creek, and thus itjshrouaht in direct comnvunicatton with, the great oil markets. Sew York and Philadel- phia, Tie bluffs rise Cram 400 to 600 feet, in some places very abruptly. There is a dam built aoross tie creek abont midway on tie property, giving immense, water power to one of tie Angst aad beet-constructed saw- mills in tie country. TMb mill at present saws 8,000 feet of .lumber per day with one single upright saw: A gang of saws can be added at a small cost, and tie mill be made capable of yielding a revenue to tie Company at once eausl to an ordinary producing well. The bluffs abound with pine, hemlock, etc., in such iluaatUy as to keep tie mill running for several years. In addition to tie mill, there is a very substantial and large frame house, several smaller ones, barns, stables. blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, etc.—in.short, every thing that an experience of twenty-years residence taught the late owner to be necessary. The bottom land on the flat Is good farming land, is cleared for the purpose, and is- from 150 to 200 acres in extent. The farm abounds with choice spots for drilling, and with fscilities for the purpose, such as few other lands pos sess. The ravines which intersect and form breahs be- tween and through the hills, and which are favorite localities for wells, have fine streams, which will give sufficient Water power to enable the Company to Imme- diately .commence sinking several wells, thus saving the expensqfcnd delay In obtaining engines. A derrick can he built near the saw-mill, and gearing attached. thus making the mill to answer a double purpose, The “shows” of oil are equal, And In many places supe- rior and more numerous, to those observed, in what has proved to he the best-localities ohrOil Creek. About iwo miles from the farm, over the bluffs, the Hosmer Oil Company, of Philadelphia, are drilling two wells on the .Hosmer Hun, which empties ints the Brokan- Str&w at Oarland.
