TO invest IN the STOCK OF tue Company.
The first strike was large vein Of
originators OF oil schemes Each one
had prospectus containing an aecu-
ratio description Of the property, and
stating what percentage per month
each company would pay from its
start 1t is only necessary 10 say that
each prospectus was as truthful and
correct in every feature ~ this oIo.---
1t was evident, from their appearance,
Ibat their only anxiety was to make
money for others, without thought
for themselves Here also was found
q correct list Of the incomes of all per-
sons not connected with tho company.
Impediaiely succeeding was vein
Of lawyers. This was an unfortunate
strike, and far from profitable. Upon
being landed they claimed that, as they
were part of the land, they had n fee
in it. Our learned legal adviser con-
tended, upon the trial, that rs they
had not been in possession Of the sur
face, or soil for twenty one years, they
had no title, and further, thaG as tho

birthstone, it was evident that they
were more than halfway down, and
should 90 to the other side. Our Pres
ident, also Of the legal profession, OBJ
jccted, on the ground that there was
enough Of the fraternity for the gcods
of the community without their pres
cncc. The Judge decided in favor of
both parties, aud advised compro-
mise. This was done in the usual
manner The attorneys Of the compa-
ny took fvc-ninths, and the other side
took five ninths leaving the balance Of
Tie property for the company. This
saved protractcd litigation and heavy
charges, as onr a,torncvs were satisfi

Is il is the intention to be strictly
truthful, and not il any way mislead,
we must stats that on this tract We
have met with some difficulties in re-
lation to the title to the products oftho
wells. On the 3!.t day Of February,
after cncasvg the well in asbestos, thc

ourv. they found to be tie employees
Of the Emperor of China, who claims
the entire product Of the well, except
the r rail. This claim was adjusted in
the same manner as in the case Of the
Ananigs and Sapphira Tract.
