QUEEN CITY LAND AND BUILDING
Association calls attention to the fol-
lowing voluntary statement of gentle
men who have visited its lands for the
purpose of full examination of the
same.
We, the undersigned, as an investigat-
ing committee in behalf of these con-
ccrned, have visited the site of Queen
City, Rowan Co., Kentucky, and exam
ined it, and large portion of the lands
belonging to tho Association, as well as
the titles TO the same Having spent
several days in our investigations, we
give it as our candid statement, (which
will be fully verified by all who visit the
place. that the titles to said lands are per-
feet; that the location Of Queen City is
very beautiful, being situated in the val
ley OF the North Triplett, stream of
sufficient size to float RATS to Cincinnati.
We were informed by parties
engaged in the lumber trade,
that they had fgated RATS
three hundred feet long and eight
logs wide IRON that point to Cincinnati.
The State road runs some three or four
miles through the lands of the Associa-
tI~n, and also through the site Of Queen
City.
The lands of said site are either level
or gently rolling, dry, and free from sur
face stone. The timber on the woodland
j. fuo large, straight, and in large guam
ties. The Pound Gap Z. L. will pass
through the City limits; one route Of
the Lexington and Sandy K. K. is sur
yeyed through the City site, and another
survey is some two miles distaEt, but
from our observation We are convinced
that the nearest and most feasible
route IS via Queen City.
The Company has commenced, and are
now improving the location of Queen
City, and We are fully satisfied that they
will continue their efforts with untiring
energy until they make Queen City a
success. They solicit parties at any time
hat suits there interest and convenience,
Or to satisfy their curiosity, 10 visit the
place and investigate for themselves. But
we would suggest, for the benefit Of visit
ng ana investigating parties, that it
would be better to delay their visits for
hort time, as we are assured the Com
Dany Will soon have hotel accommoda-
ions for all who may come.
The building stone is as fine as any
We have ever seen. Slate Of fine quail
: and Of any desirable size can be OBJ
aimed near the City limits. Iron ore "a
.lso abundant; and coal of a superior
quality in large quantities can be had on
ne line Of the Pound Gap z. p,
