Immediately succeeding was a vein
of Lawyers. This was IN unfortunate
strike, and far from profitable. They
claimed as they were part of the land,

ninths, leaving the balance Of the prop

The whole of this magnificent tract
has been since its survey, the wonder of
the world. Every acre is known to be

each of the seventeen thousand wells,
there were thrown out per hour, 5,7s4
chests of Young Hyson, Souchong gun

engineer There are sixty-three hun
dred aud liftecn wells, now producing,
on each acre, whose average depth is

the tertiary formation, and passing thro'
precious metils-platina, bismuth, ma

ash, hard boiled eggs and lainpblack-
all of which are being taken out by lat
eral railroads, from the projecting sur
face of each vein, and are now sold at
the highest prices, thereby yielding an
incaleplable profit 3
The flow Of Oh from all the wells on
this tract is SO enormous, that it was
found impossible toprovide tanks; and
in consequen sc the Directors have been
obliged to purchase and drain Lake Su-
perior, and use it as a repervoir.
