The following are a few of the reasons for beiev-

when pick choice of the best Oil Territory was
to be had. & It-l IBJllO00T5a 9g84Tl (
q 1t was selected by an energetic, practical man,
then and still resident Of the vicinity, most fully
acquainted with its situation and value, and after
personal and thorough examination, accepting only
the best, and rejecting many neighboring places
which have since been taken with avidity by other
parties, who are now holding at an immense advance

tinue to be, a very large stakeholder in the Com
pany He is a very respectable, energetic, driving
man, has engineered the tunneling and other works

more than five acres to each well. eads ssz
s. And as to the abundance of Oil in thu region
1t at one time became plentiful not to be worth
the cost ofprocuring casks in which to place it. An
instance may be named in which, for want of proper
vessels, an Ohio fatboat scow was filled in bulk
with it, which was sold at cent per gallon, but
kept until the purchaser iesold at twenty-eight
cents per GAL, or Sill 30 per barrel. s1a 1s
s. And as to the cheapness of this stock, it may
be remarked that it is well known that companies of
lOOO 90 dollars, in shares have been formed
on one hundred acres of oil-and and often less)
and taking this basis the shares in the Company
would not be twenty cents per share; Or making an
other comparison, share in this Company is more
than equal to having one share in twenty separate
companies, inasmuch as the average Of each sep
arate Farm, in this Company, forms a basis for a
company by itself each Farm having SO many choice
placeson which to sink separate wells; yet all these
Farms are thrown into this one Company for the
benefit of each Shareholder, making it equal, COM
paratively, to sharing dividend in twenty separate
companies. sieg3fsr8t -.
