Pittsfleld township, War- ren county, Pennsylyania. This land Is sitnatcd ln one of thebeßt localltiesln tha neighborhood. It takoe In the whole of the Talley for oyer a mile in extent, -livings frontage on the Broken-Straw Creek of over two miles. It also extends northward over the blttff, and takes In a considerable portion of tie Blue-Eye Bun, a tributary of the Broken-Straw- Broken-Straw Creek takes Its rise from the east side of the bluff, which gives rise to the celebrated Oil Creek, on the west side. It Is navigable from the CotterParm to the Alle- gheny Elver, a distance of ton miles, and thns affords facilities for transportation by boat to Pittsburg. As mentioned before, the Philadelphiaand Erie Railroad ntm directlu through theproperty on the banh ofthe oreek, and thus it it brought in direct communication with the great oil markets, Hew York and Philadel- phia. The bluffs rise from 400 to 600 feet. In some places very abrupUy. There is>a dant built across the creek about midway os the property, giving immense waterpower to one of the finest and best-constructed saw mills in the country. This mill at presenteuaws 6,000 feet of lumber per day with one single upright saw. A gang of saws can be added at a small coat, and the mill be made capable of yielding a revenue to the Company at once equal to an ordinary producing well. The bluffs abound with pine, hemlock, etc., In such quantity as to keep the mill rhhhlhgf'or several yean. In addition to the mill, there is a UeTy substantial and large frame house, several smaller ones, bams, stables, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, eto.—ln short, every-: thing that, an experience of twenty-years residence land on the fiat is good farming land, is oleared for tho nwrpote, and is from 100 to 200 acres in extent. The farm abounds wilh choice spots for drilling, and with facilities for the purpose, such as few other lands pos- sess, The ravines which intersect and form breaks be- tween and through the hills, and which are favorite localities for wells, have fine streams, which wili give enffleient water power to enable the Company to imme- diately commence sinking several wells, thus saving the expense and delay in obtaining engines, A derrick can be built near the saw-mill, and-gearing attached, thus making the mill to answer a double purpose. The “showe” of oil are canal, and in many places supe rior and more humorous, to those observed in-what • ■ v - ’ • - ' % has proved to be the best localities on Oil Creek. Abont. two miles from the farm, over the bluffs, the Hosmer Oil Company, of Philadelphia, are drilling two wells on the Hosmer Hun, which empties into the Broken- Straw at Carland. These wells arc giving the most ’ - ' ‘ . ' .7'." gratifying evidences of the existence of oil in great quantities, and have, established its" presence in that region beyond a doubt.

This land, sain the.case of takes in the valley as well as the hlnfiii on both Bides, and is traversed by nume- rous ravines and.little streams running into tho Salmon Creek. The evidences ofoii cannot be excelled—ln fact, are so marked, and the formation of the land ie to fa- vorable to the existence of oil, that every oil man visiting tie, region says, ■* Salmon Creek is hound to equal the world-renowned Oil Creek,” and the specu lating public have siown their fhith in it by leasing or' buying every acre of land from this Company’s terri- tory to the-mouth of,the Creek —about 'five miles—ae well as up and down the Tionesta Blver for several miles. This property is situate about ten miles east of the Allegheny Biver. It abounds with the best descrip- tion of timber-pine, Cherry, hemlock, Ac.—which can bemads to yield a handsome revenue to tbe Company, The development of the country is rapidly progressing. A well is being sunk half a mile-from the property; two others two miles from it, and the Tionesta River is lined with them on'each ride for miles—one, at the month of Salmon Creek, now yielding oil, add all of them giving such indications while drilling that Stave heretofore only accompanied the sinking of ihe best wells on Oil Creek, In addition .to-tbia, the counties surrounding Forrest county-noith, south, east, and west—are all yielding oil, and give great strength to the supposition that Forrest county is in the centre of an immense basin of oil underlying that whole region of country. A competent Superintendent, Mr. FBAHK O. EVEBB, who has had four years’ experience in the business, has been appointed, and has commenced operations on the lands of the Company. A limited number of shares will be sold at the above mentioned subscription price, $3 A per share, which will he full paid.'and $60,000 applied immedialelu to the development of the property.

The extent of the - property owned by them, oner four square miles, the well-known productiveness of the surrounding region, and the facilities possessed hy them for the immediate. development of their territory at not more than two-thirds the usual cost, warrant the Di rectors in assorting .that.the “Cotter Farm Oil Com pany,” will soon place itself among Urn first dividend- paying oil-atook companies in the country.
