tanning l5b acres l2 perches and allowances of six per
cent for roads etc, situated French Greek, about
miles above the borough of franklin and miles above

Pennsylvania having frontage the creek Of 1896
feet all Of which is available for boring wells The farm
is known the Harrison Farm and is Immediately
opposite the "rallman Farm which is owned by u
New York company, who at present developing their
lands with every prospect of success.
The following is extract from letter from n gem
tlcnan in Franklin who has no interest whatever in the
lands OF the Company and who has been connected with
developing oil territory for time past In speaking
Of this tract of land he says Il think the location as
good rs any the Creek; and if | was going to put
down well on French Creek, would rather have it on
this tract than any have yet looked think it far
preferable to the raman Farm which is called the best
On the Creek The original of this letter is in the pos
session of the Company and will be shown to any person
desiring to read it,
1t is proposed by the Company to pr"sccu their opcr-
atoms on the lands at with rgor by sinking at least
two wells to such depth may be necessary for the
purpose of properly developing the same and although
this region has not as vet been thoroughly worked s
some other sections surrounding it, they feel confident
perfect success will he obtained.
This region is producing from the wells already in
WuThlnS operation. netNy OF lNhrlFltnH OILS WHICH
is far more remuneratvc than the light or illuminating
oils produced Oil Creek it selling from so to 100 per
cent and from the situation of the land the oil
can be shipped to market a much less cost than the
oils produced about the Oil Creek territory. the branch
railroad from Meadvle to Franklin passing along the
line Of the Creek opposite to this tract.
From the fact of this Company having large piece
Of land IN one body, with frontage of over half mile
on the Creek thus aoring ample protection from other
orins near the wells of the company and also from the
indications of the wells the Tallman Farm one of
which is said to be now yielding 80 barrels day they
feel just flied in saying that the prospects of this Com
of the companies of recent organization. Should the
Company succeed in producing only 20 barrels per day of
mbricaiing oil. and placing the price Of it at Sl5 per
barrel. it would realize to the Company 100000 per
annum less the working expenses.

1854, with capital of Sir Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars divided into one hundred
and thirty thousand shares, the par value of

situate on Cherry Run, near the post-town of
Plumer, in the county. of Venango, Pa, and
surrounded by developed and partially develop
ed lands, so favorably known as the Cherry
Run Territory" in one of the most desirable
localities of such property is the area belonging
to the Sheridan. All wells sunk to the ordinary
depth on this territory have proved successful
thus far, consequently it can hardly be con-
sdered a risk to bore on any part of this Com
pany's lands

situate on the extension of the same Cherry
Run flats above described, about three-and-one-
half miles from the village Of Plumer, and to

in tuthfulness and force; derics, escape steam
and smoke from working engines, are to be seen
both above and below this property for miles on
the flats or low grounds.
The oils obtained in this particular district
are of a fine character, and well adapted to
lighting purposes they are now in active de-
mand at $l2 per barrelat the wells, for refining,
the purchasers furnishing barrels, and carting
the oil therefrom as fast as it can be produced.
