On INTEIIIGENCE.-INT INTERESTING DEVELOP
MENTs UPON TIE BORDER FARM.-0IblN GREAT
QUANTITIES FOUND Heretofore, everything
in this region has been going on in anything
but business manner, but within the past few
days several engines have been but upon the
ground and already two have been set at
work. These are upon the famous Border
farm. This farm contains two hundred and
forty acres and has been purchased by COM
pany from WelIsburg, Va.
There are now FIVE successful wells upon
this property one of which is doing wonders.
The well in question is the Ohio Salt Creek
Co well. Their engine was set'to work last
Friday. Ii may sound rather ike a ''fsh
story but the yieldhas been sixty barrels of
heavy petroleum in every foug hours. At
this calculation the production Of this single
well is three hundred and sixty barrels every
"a hours. This oil brings twenty dollars per
barrel. Therefore the institution is worth
seven thousand two hundred dollars per day,
two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars
per month, or Two million, FIVE hundred and
ninety two thousand dollars per year.
Now who does not like the look of such
figures and who would object to personal
and practical demonstration Of something like
this? Certainly it must be solid comfort, for
the share holders to watch the movements Of
this magnificent well, and am sure it is
enough to give spectator either the blues,
or the fever"
All the rest of the wells in this region may
be as good as the one belonging to the Ohio
Salt Greek Co., if an engine could only be
Sc at work upon them. The O. S. C. Co.,
have made another strike, in a well across the
creek from the one now in operation. 1t
viii be pumped Immediately, and thoroughly
tes ted. The show is good, and they are ex
pecting a rich yield from it. The company
owning this Border Farm are stocking it at
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars,
which are as reasonable terms as one could
ask for on such property. Already half the
shares Zone hundred dollars each are taken
up, and this, before the company is organized
and incorporated. Books win be opened in
GAINESVILLE, giving any person in this section
of country a choice chance for sure invest

The above is very wild statement and
hits wide of the mark, but we have the assn
rance of the most reliable parties that those
wells are yielding spiendidly. The income
to the owners will be very handsome. There
appears to be great excitement now among
the Ohioans on the subject who have hereto
fore hooted at the idea that oil was there in
paying quantities. Our Woodberry friends
will all become millionaires we are afraid. If
they have any spare shares we hope til ey will
send them up this way.
