This is to certify that, having been over the
tract owned by the Ridgeway Farm and Coal
Company, and given it thorough examine
ton, we find the representations of that COM
pany to be correct. We find the soil to be the
most fertile-thc coal and Iron oreto lie inin-
exhau,tible quantities, through the whole dis
Irict the farms in excellent order, and the in
telligence and prosperity of the people to be
of the most gratifying character. We know
that there is no healthier location in the State.
and we consider it most desirable place OF
settlement.
We make this declaration, as we believe
there may he many persons who are unac-
quainled with these lands, and we are satisfied
from our knowledge OF the subject that infor-
nation upon il will be public benefit.
