Peasley has had a large experience in the manufacture of Kerosene, and informs me that the crude oil obtained from the rock of the Hills, is equal to any Pennsylvania crude he ever worked. I occasionlly see Mr. N. L. Ingols, tne Secretary of this Company, and to hear him blow, you would think that California would soon be an exporter, instead of an importer.
