Run Creek, !" in Meigs county State Of Ohio, about
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 companypro-
pose to commence operations at once and entertain
no doubt that at an early day they will be able to
pay handsome per centage on the investment
The known ability and commercial standing of the
officers Of this company afford sufficient guaranty
that the afairS will be conducted in manner to
cure the confidence of those who disposed to in
vest in 1t. $500 --
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 900. Our property has been exam.
ined under Instructions from DIR. 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 we save; oil can be
manufactured from the coal upon the property, at
cost exceeding ten cents per gallon and 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
b nefts derived from the lands, either by sales of
OIL land, or products of any kind. 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 all the
shares disposed Of The Company adopt this
for the purpose of dsposing of the stock at
the par value rather than to selit 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. M
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
