Inc properly OF tnl1 company II lOcAtcu On SooA
Run creek, in Meigs county, State Of Ohio. about
ten miles from Athens, containing one hundred and
Eve acres Of land. A large number Of wells are
successfully worked in the vicinity, some Of which
are paying handsome dividends This eompanypro-
pose to commence operations at once and entertain
no doubtthat at an early day they wiz be able TO
paya handsome per eentage on the investment.--
The known ability and commercial standing Of the
officers Of this company afford sufficient guaranty
that the affairs viii be conducted in manner to So
cure the confidence Of those who 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
chinery was ST., 600. Our property has been exam
ined under instructions from DR.. 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 WIN be found valuable in the production
Of oil. Most companies have to pay very high pri-
ces for their coal, all of which we saye oil can be
manufactured from the coal upon the property, alta
cost exceeding ten cents per gallon and is pro-
posed to commence the manufacture in connection
with the sinking. Of wells One dollar win buy
bareof this stock, which is the par value, and all
nehts 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
viii be given TO the stockholders. soon as all the
shares are disposed Of. The Company adopt this
course for the purpose of dsposng OF the stock at
the par value, rather than to sell It, many compa-
MES do, at a subscription price. which is usually
one-half. Thus, 1t will be perceived that every
stakeholder owning ten shares, for example, viii be
sure 10 realize handsome dividend whom the prop
erty is dividedi plan which Is entirely honorable,
and in all respects perfectly legal
