PkOSPICTUS.
It le prop seal to form ttilsOmmany for the purpose of requiring
the freehold ot certain plots of land, amounting to upwards of
700 acres. situated in Vermago county, which is fo the alidatlf
h
the wellkoown oll.produclost district of reuneylvanla, and foe
which provisional contracts of pan:base hare been already coo.
eluded.
The lands have been examined and selected by an English
engineer and practical geologist of great experience, and are
believed to be extremely rich in oils obits highest clam.
The idle produced in this district are of two cloves—one the
illuminating oil, which can ouly be obtained at very great
depths. and which oornmands a price 'varying from 3fia. to 40a
per barred and the other, the lubricating oillound much nearer
the surface, and possessing a touch higher commercial value.
Analysis of the oil taken from contiguous properties proves It
to be tho lubricating oil of from 16 is al degrees Demme, which
quality of oil is readily saleable In any quantity at this walla at
from 30 to 40 dollars. or Leto CS sterling per barrel.
By the provisional agreement which the Directors have made
for the purthme of them properties, the Company Is to have the
right of working sad developing one plot of tho land (stoat
72 acres), for which payment Is to be made by £9,000 in cash,
and 46,M A) Mimes of the Company, fully paid op, and upon
which it Is proposed to nut eight wells ; should the results then
be minded.ny. it can, by the option already secured to lt, claim;
any time within seven months from November lat. Mes, ski
transfer of the entire 700 ACIWI in fee Maple; but U not satisfied,
the Company, w 111 not he bound to take them.
It is estimated that this plot of land can be Mated within ig
moeths, and the directors will not make any further call on re-
count of cap.fal load the results shall have proved satisfactory.
Should the remainder of the land be taken. at least 190 addi-
tional walls wseild be sunk, whkth might be all in working
within one year from date of commeocement.
The piirchase.money for the whole 700 area Is to be £80,090,
payable in mesa mouths. from November 1, IEB6, and a further
sum of Leo.oup to fully paid-up shares and the title to the lands
is to be made to the satisfaction of the Cotopany's solicitors.
The cost of doting one well, Including steam engine. feels.
tanks, dervichn nod labour down to the oil. is about £1.009.
The yield ot lubricating oil wells in the di strict from whic
Abe.. lands are selected ranges from four to forty barrels ph er
diem per well.
Theculculation of profits is based opals a minimum yield of
oil poi well, namely, four barrels per dry, which Mid at PM
wells at the rata ot 40 per barrel. wont' realise &24 per welt
per day ; strati therefore 60 wells be productive, mil wort
duriolonly there would be a return of not Ism than
oo
TM cost a wells, and management par annum will not
exceed, for lee wells, including wages sad engineers, 450,000.
A gentleman. in every way competent, will at once proceed be
the deltoid, and the moneys now subscribed will only beemendsd
wider his personal smossebion.
