This is thought by those who are acquaint-
ed with this locality, TO be a moderate cstl-
mate, and yet it is easy to see that even this
amount of success would make the property
of the Company in value, almost surpass be-
lief
The durability of this immediate oil section
is illustrated by the fact that wells above and
below this property have been pumping over
four years, with 4 steady yield, and without
any dmlnutlon.

DIRECTORS.

This Company owns in fee simple seven
ky-seven and three-tenths acres on the East
side of the Allegheny River, in Rockland
township, Venango County, Pennsylvania.
u is situated five miles below the town OF
franklin, opposite the mouth of the West
Sandy Creek, and has frontage of ll0 rods
OF the river. 1t is but short distance be-
low the celebrated Hoover well which is
Welding 200 barrels of oil daily. Other
Welding wells surround it in every direction,
and within the past few weeks two new
wells have been struck in the immediate
neiehborhood, one of which is producing dai-
Iy 80 barrels of heavy lubricating oil worth
at the well $50 per barrel.
A fire vieR of Bituminous coal, easily ac-
cessible, is on part Of the i1nd, and in view
of the enormously high price of coal in that
region, is an important consideration, and
will enable the company not only to supply
It's own wants in that respect, but TO derive
an income from its sale to others.
The adjoining properties are in the hands
of geod and prosperous companies, all in sue
cessfuE operation, and it is believed that no
oil company has started out with better
prospects for paying large and regular month
lr dividends.
This Company intend developing their land
without the least delay. and for this purpose
have arranged for the necessary engines,
tools. tubing, &c, all of which will be put
upon the ground and in operation as soon as
the season will permit.
In addition to their own wells, the Com
pany also propose 10 lease TO responsible par
ties portions of their land divided into lots of
10 square rods each, at Il rent of one half
the oil, the Company to be at no erpenSe
rhaierer. They will have at least fifty
such lots 10 lease, all of which can be leased
at once if deemed expedent, with covenants
binding lessees to sink wells with all posi-
bic desp patch to the depth Of FIVE hundred or
more feet. Estimating. only one well toI
each lot, fifty wells at the very moderate
average of ten barrels each, would make a
daily product of 800 barrels. OF this the
Company's share would be 80 barrels.
Value of daily yield to the Company at
s30 per Barrel, $500.
Allowing 80 working days to the year, the
Company's annual net receipts from leases
alone would be Sl,S13,GOO.
The Company also intend sinking on their
own account, at least five wells. Should
thcr be successful with only one, it would |
