- PROSPECTUS.
The large returns upon capital invested in Petroleum
lands in America have induced the formation of the present
Company, that English capitalists may participate in the
great advantages to be derived from these lucrative invest-
ments. The most competent judges affirm that the oil re-
sources of West Virginia are far superior to those of Penn-
sylvania; the oil, being lubricating and of greater specific
gravity, is more valuable for commercial and manufactur-
ing purposes. The Directors bearing in mind the fact that
it is more desirable to purchase property where oil is known
to exist, and sink their own wells, rather than to purchase
land upon which the existing wells' may be partially ex-
hausted, have entered into a provisional contract to pur-
chase 300 acres in fee simple, together with the leases for
15 years, at a royalty of one-fifth of the oil, of 540 acres,
situate in the counties of Calhoun, Putnam, Ritchie, for the
sum of £51,000. The lands thus secured are in the heart of
the Petroleum district of Western Virginia, are surrounded
by oil wells, and all exhibit the best surface indications.
Bubbling
Oil Springs abound on them.. They are also well
situated as regards transit.
In consequence of the ready sale which is found for the
oil at the well's mouth, the Directors propose to partially
adopt the American system of declaring dividends ; and
ktherefore, after the wells are sunk, they have taken power
the Articles of Association to divide the profits every
ree months.
Oil is almost invariably struck in this region at depths
"f„erYing from 150 to 250 feet. The rock being compara-
"vely easy of excavation wells are sunk at less than half
the cost of the oil wells of Pennsylvania.
fifiThe Directors propose to commence operations by sinking
'een wells, and assuming that ten only out of the fifteen
strike oil, and taking this Company's interest at the low
laZerage of 15 barrels per day for each well, the yield will
150 barrels per day, which at the selling price, on the
