The known ability and commercial standing of the

that the affairs will be conducted in manner to So
cure the confidence Of those who are disposed to in
vest in it.
The tract Of land adjoining the property of this
company has passed into the hands of capitalists,
who have sent out experienced superintendent to
commence operations and their first order for ma
chinery was SIS 600. Our property has been exam.
ined under instructions from DIR. A. A Hayes State
sssayer Of Massachusetts,, who pronounces the COAL
which is in abundance to be of the best quality,
yielding eighty gallons Of oil to the ton and has no
doubt from the location and position of the proper
ty, that it will be found valuable in the production
of oil. Most companies have to pay very high pri-
ces for their coal, all of which save; oil be
manufactured from the coal upon the property, at
cost not exceeding ten cents per gallon audit is pro-
| posed to commence the manufacture in connection
with the sinking of wells. One dollar will buy
hare of this stock, which is the par value, and all
nefts derived from the lands, either by sales Of
OIL land, products of any kind, to be divided
among the stockholders, and in addition, 500 OO0
worth Of valuable, useful and desirable property
will be given to the stockholders as soon as all the
shares are disposed of. The Company adopt this
for the purpose of dsposing of the stock at
the par value rather than sellit as many compa-
MES do, at subscription price which is usually
one-half Thus, it will be perceived that every
stakeholder owning ten shares for example, will be
sure to realize handsome dividend when the prop
erty is divided; plan which is entirely honorable,
and in all respects perfectly legal.
