This is to certify that, having been the tract
owned by the Ridgeway Farm and Coal Company and
given ta thorough examination, We find the represen

soil to be the most ferte-the Coal and Iron Oar to
lie in inexhaustibe quantities, through the whole dis
trict-the Farms in excellent order, and the inelli
gence and prosperity of the people to be Of the most
gratifying character. We know that there is no health
