He then came to Paris and London, organized a company, sent out men to work the wells, and ships to carry to London and Liverpool the pro- ., duets, and they are now paying handsome / dividends. But what is more surprising "till, the Colonel, in returning lately from the Black Sea to Paris, stopped on {he way atthe Island of Samos, on the eastern shore "of the Mediterranean, where he found and bought another oil well. What is slill more cutious, this well was spoken of by Hero- dotus, the great Greek historian, 450 years [Solute Chia, and from that day fo this no Jone has thought of turning to use this impor- / tant discovery.: Col.
