ten miles from Athens, containing one hundred and
FIVE acres Of land. A large number Of wells are
successfully worked in the vicinity, some Of which
are paying handsome dividends. This eompanYprO-
pose to commence operations at once and entertain
no doubt that at an early day they viii be able to
pay handsome per centage the investment

The tract of land adjoining the property of this
company has passed into the hands Of capitalists,
who have sent out AN experienced superintendent to
commence operations. and their first order for ma
chinery was sl5. OO0 Our property has been exam
ined under instructions from Dr. A. A. Hayes State
Assayer 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
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 can be
manufactured from the coal upon the property, alta

posed to commence the manufacture in connection
with the sinking of wells. One dollar will buy
hareo of this stock, which is the par value, and all
neats derived from the lands, either by sales Of
OIL land, or products Of any kind, are to be divided
among the stockholders, and In addition, 500 900
worth Of valuable, useful and desirable property
will be given to the stockholders soon as all the
shares are disposed of. The Company adopt this
