Run Creek, in Meigs county, State Of Ohio, about
ten miles from Athens, containing one hundred and
i've nc es Of land. 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 doubttha 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 affairs win be conducted in a manner to se-
cure the confidence Of those who are disposed to in
vest In it.
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 $l5 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 no
doubt, from the location and position Of the proper
ty, that it will be found valuable in the production
OF oil. Most companies hare to pay very high pri-
ces for their coal, all of which save, oil can be-
manufactured from the coal upon the property, at
cost not exceeding per gallon and is pro-
posed to commence the manufacture in connection
with the sinking of wells. One dollar will buy
share Of this stock, which is the par value and all
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, soon rs all the
shares are disposed Of. The Company adopt this
course for the purpose Of disposing of thu stock at
the par value, rather than to sell it, as many compa
mics do, at subscription price, which is usually
one-half Thus, ii will be perceived that every
seockholder 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.
The property to be distributed among the stock.
holders win be equal to any in he market, and will
consist Of the following described articles
