John Coast, of Olean, Is one OF
the Cattaraugus county men who
made fortune In the Allegany and
Bradford oil fields during the days
of the boom. Mr.. Coast retired
from active business three or four
years ago and is taking life easy
now. He owns one OF the finest
residences In Olean and ore of the
finest business blocks In that city,
and a large number of tenant
houses Ia Olean. He was for many
years one of the picturesqu char
acters of the oil region and followed
The business with varying fortunes
from the early days of the boom
along Oil creek. He knew all the
old timers and when he Is in rem
iuiscent mood he spins some inter-
esting yarns of the days that were.
The firm OF John Coast & Sons, oi
which Mr.. Coast and his sons, J
w. Coast and William Coast. are
members, still own producing wells
In the Butler county field, the
Bradford and Allegany fields. In
this field alone they own II wells
and valuable royalties. Mr.. Jason
E. Stone, formerly of Bolivar, Is

Coast, a position he has satlsfacto-

900 will be the treasury funds for
development on large scale. The
cash to secure the property has al
ready been paid and the same has
been turned over to the company,
who are now In possession of all the
rights, titles, machinery, tanks,
wells. drilling apparatus, ETC., etc.
With the wells, acreage and pro-
duction, and with $4,000 In the
treasury, this company will start
out with enough earning capacity
to make the stock worth fifty cents
per share to begin with, and as
new wells are put down, and new
| oil producing lands are bought
with the surplus earnings and the
money in the treasury, the stock
will have ready market at figure
greatly In excess of $500 per share
In short time.
It will be noted In the above that
1t is stated that the property has
already been paid for, and just a
little before the circular reads that
$780, 900 derived from the sale OF
stock" will be paid for the property

pany has 2S operating wells and on
the West Virginia six. The fnan-
cial showing of the company, which
is declared to be authentic and pos
itively to be relied upon, states
that the present production Of Its
"a wells Is 100 barrels day, for
which an average price of $1.I4H
a barrel Is realized, making the
gross earnings S., 10 per month
or $43,7o3 20 per year. Out Of this
the company very generously al
lows 5000 for expenses and prom
Uses to declare two per cent divi
dends per month, a total of $24 900
a year, which leaves SIC, 693.2o for
a surplus fund to be devoted to ex.
ira dividends or the purchase Of
other property.
But with West Virginia oil
bringing $r.15 per barrel and South
Lima (Allen county, Ohio oil SO
cents per barrel, 1t would be inter
esting to learn by what sort of a
combination of production Messrs.
Holden & Co. are able to obtain an
average OF $I,14H per barrel. To
bring about any such average, the
Ohio wells would have to be almost
totally worthless. while the Yves,
Virginia wells would be making
within a few barrels of the total
production. Then supposing that
the figures were correct, what war
rant has the company for antici-
pating any such income for an en-
tire year as established by the rec
ord of the property for a single
month?
The swindling nature Of the en-
tire proposition" is plainly re-
vealed In the fact that one part o
1t says that the company owns thi:
property, while In the next few

A LADY riding a bicycle came very
close to meeting with a dangerous ac-
cident at the railroad crossing on Rines
hill. Thursday afternoon. She came
coasting down the hill with great speed
and did not notice the gates We're down
until her attention was called to the
fact by the excited shouts Of people in
teams and on the sidewalk. The
O'Clock Accommodation train was COM
ing and the danger Of collision was i'm
minent. With rare presence of mind,
however, after passing under the gates
and seeing the engine coming toward
her she took a header from her wheel
ana landed prone upon the sidewalk in
front of the Augusta Beef Cos. estab-
lishment. C. l.. Sears and others rush
ed to her assistance but beyond slight
wrench OF the right knee she was unin-
jured. Her escape from serious of not
fatal injury was marvellous is the opin-
ion of the onlookers.
