ten miles from Athens, containing one hundred and
five &C es Of land. A large number Of wells are
successfully worked in the vicinity, some of which
are paying handsome dividends. This company pro-
pose to commence operations at once, and entertain
no doubt that at early day they will be able to
pay q handsome per centage on the investment
The known ability and commercial standing of the
officers of this company afford sufficient guaranty
that the affairs will be conducted in manner to Sc
cure the confidence Of those who are disposed to in
vest in it.
hettract 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 foF ma
ehinery was SIS 600. Our property has been exam.
ned under instructions from DR.. A. A Hayes, State
Assayer Of Massachusetts, who pronounees 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 viii be found valuable in the production
of oil. Most companies have to pay very high pri-
for their COAL all Of which we save; oil be
manufactured from the coal upon the property, at
ss- ten per gallon, and it is pro-
posed to commence the manulacIurr
with the sinking Of wells. One dollar will buy
areof this stock, which is the par value, and all
nefts derived from the lands, either by sales of
OIL land, products of any kind, are to be divided
among the stockholders, and in addition, $500 600
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 disposng of the stock at
the par value rather than to sellit as many compa
mics do, at D subscription price, which is usually
one-half. Thus, it will be perceived that every
stakeholder owning ten shares for example, win be
ct,ra to hop VIII
erty is divided; plan which is entirely honorable,
and in all respects perfectly legal a
The property to be distributed among the stock
holders will be equal to any in the market, and will
consist Of the following described articles e
