five &C es Of land. 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 ana entertain
no doubt that at early day they will be able to-
pay handsome per centage 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 30 70
cure the confidence of those who are disposed to in
vest in it.
The tract of land adjoining the property of tlLs
company has Pr ssed into the hands of capitaliyts
who have sent out experienced superintendent to-
commence operations and their first order for ma
chinery was SIS 0OO 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 ano 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, alta
cost not exceeding 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, 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. all the
shares are disposed of. Tho Company adopt this
course for the purpose of disposing of the stock at
the par value rather than to sell it. many compa-
mics do, at a subscription price. which is usuany
one-half Thus, it will be perceived that every
stakeholder owning ten shares, for example, will b.
sure to realize hands ,me dividend when the prop
erty is divided; plan which is entirely honorable
and in all respects perfectly legal.

holders will be equal to any in :he market and will
