Thomas Hewerson &c are driving South in the Limestone in the Cross Vein that was so productive a Year ago, but which has lately become poor, in order to prove it further forward, as it is entirely whole to the end of the Boundary & is an object that cannot, with any propriety, be discontinued in the present stage of the trial, altho’ it is not requisite to hold the Lease.
