There is no other 'way of being familiar

you won’tkeep‘hei‘,‘and have her go on in

VALUABLE On. LANn.—Mr. Skills, an
eminent aii-ilytical chemist, submits the fol-
lowing repwt to the secretary of the new
petroleum company: The mining corps, iin-
der the direction of Prof. Kralzhalptgu, first
penetrated the earth at 18 points ‘by means
of artesian Wells. This examination develop-
ed the existence of petroleum in incredible
quantities. No less than 400,000 barrels per
day is assured Of. I tasted the oil myself.
It will make an excellent salad oil; and
with very\little difficulty may be prepared
for use on the hair. For lubricating purpo-
ses it is incomparable, and it is highly es-
teemed for wounds in battle, and all other
cases ofa ganglious or epigastrian nature. I
have no hesitation in saying that these wells
are the richest in the world, or any other of
which we are informed. A man living in
the neighborhood informs me that he has
been sick for 90 years, and has always used
the petroleum upon his cart wheels. Such
is the inexhaustible nature of the yield, that
an aqueduct. might be built for a very small
Sum to carry the oil directto New York or
Europe. An artificial fountain and lake of
oil might be formed in the vicinity, or an oil
canalcons‘trucled to float the barrels upon.
The oil also yields a variety of excellent per-
fumes, 'such as new mown hay, jockey club,
ble substitute for butter, and has been
known 'tofry eels to a delicious brown be-
fore the animals had done wriggling. Its
paraffinous nature makes it go well with pas-
try. 'It makes pudding at sea and pies on
shore. In addition to this, it contains a
,lkrge residum Of gold. The following anal-
ysis shows the incredible richness of this Oil:
Benzole, 1
Chloride of sodium, 1
Pure petroleum, 45
Orange county butter, 11
Hair Oil, in bottles, 6
Gold coin, 30
Paraffine candles, 4
. _ Calfs footjelly, 2
Parts, 100.
Many samples are richer,. I possess .one
which yields two gallons of hair oil and a'
pOund of butter to the gallon of petroleum.
In boring for the oil a fine vein of port wine
was struck. This might be bottled and sent
to market. It is supposed to be over 300-
000 years old, and must be good. There is
also promise of striking a large subterranean
mine of sardines. Preserved in Oil, these
fish 'must be delicious. Besides the above
advantages, there are not wanting indications
‘of'a‘ fertile yield of quinine, which, while the
'war lasts, must bring a large revenue to the
' Quinine baths might be con-
stiucted, and the quinine itself conducted to
the various government hospitals in pipes. .

oflce of The Charleston Cd'uri'er. The edi—
