"The lands of this Company consist of

making total of ,39S acres. in fourteen
separate tracts, as shown on the accompany

They are located on Indian. Guyan, and
Paddy Creeks--the former of which is nayi

the least, there are very fine indications Of
oil on the surface Of these lands. a specimen
Of which may bc seen at our office. Indeed
there is nothing In Pennsylvania, or about
Marietta, superior in this respect.
Prof MATnER, who made a geolog ical sur

this region was the center OF the great min.
eral basin extending from Pennsylvania to
Tennessee.
Tue 2,s9S acres in Cnbcll County, West

more particular mention because they con
