TUB PROPERTY OF TU COMPANY COHM8TB OF
TUB rOU.OWIHd:
I. The fee simple of 136 acres, known as the MV.ter
Farm." on llig Broken-Rtraw creek, and on txe line of the
Philadelphia and Krle llaltroad, one aud a half miles west
Of Oailand, Pittsflrld township, Warren county, Pennsyl
vania. Tills land la situated In one of the best localities la
the neighborhood. It takes In the whole of the valley for
ever a mile In exteat, giving a frontage on the Broken-Bu-aw
creek of over two miles. It also extends northward
over the bluff, and takes In a considerable portion of the Blue
Eye Run, a tributary of the Rroken-Htraw. Hrokea-Htraw
crock takes Its rise from tlie east side of the bluff, which
gives rbe to the oeiebratrd Oil creek, on the west side.
It Is navigable from the Cotter Farm to the Allegheny
liver, a distance of ten miles, and thus arTnrds facilities for
transportation by boat to Pittsburg. As mentlonod bo
fore, the Philadelphia .and Erie Railroad runs directly
througb the propetty on the bank of the creek, and thus it
la brought lu direct communication with the great oil
markets, Kew York and Philadelphia. Tho blaifs rise
from 400 to COO feet, la some places very abruptly. There
Is a dam built across the creek about midway on the pro
perty, giving Immense water-power to 0110 of the finest
and best-constructed saw-mills In the country. This mill
at present saw sCtOO lect of lumbor per dsy w ith one sluglo
upright saw.
A gang of saws can be added at a small cost, and tho
mid be made capable of yielding a revenuo to the (Jvu
panyatonce eiual to an ordinary producing well. Tho
bluffs abound with pine, hemlock, &c.,in such quantity
as to keep the mill running for several years. Jn addi
tion to the mill there Is a very substantial aud large frame
bouse, several smaller ones, bams, stables, blacksmith
shop, carpenter shop, Ac. &c ; In Short, everything that
an experience of a twenty years' residence taught the
late owner to be necessary. The bottom land on the flat Is
good farming land, Is cleared for the purpose, and is from
ISO to 300 acres In extent.
The farm abounds with eholee spots for drilling, and
with facilities for the purpose, such as few other lands
possess. The rav ines which Intersect and form breaks be
tween and through the hills, and which are favorite locali
ties for wells, have flno streams, which will give sufficient
w atcr power tu enable the Company to Immediately com
mence sinking several wells, thus saving the expense and
delay In obtaining engines. A derrick can be built near tho
saw mill, and gearing attached, thus making tho mill to
answer a double purpose. Tlie "shows "ot oil are equal, and
In many places superior and more numerous, to those ob
served in what has proved to be the beet localities on Oil
creek.
About two miles from the farm, over the bluffs, tho
JTosmer Oil Company, of Philadelphia, are drilling two
ells on the llosmer run, which empties Into the Broken
Straw at Garland. These wells are giving the most (.'rati
fying evidence of tlie existence of oil in great quanUtles,
and have established Its presence in that region beyond a
doubt. The Cotter Farm Is situate about ten miles nearly
due north 01 the now celebrated Tideouto, on the Allegheny
river.
11. The fee simple of 11C7 acres on the North Salmon
creek, Tionehta township, Forest county, Pa., just ovar
the border of Venango county. This land, as In the ease
of the Cotter Farm, takes In the valley as well as the
hluiTs on both sides, and Is traversed by numerous ravluoa
and Uttle stnams running into the Salmon creek. The
evldcnr es of oil cannot be excelled lit fai t, are so marked,
and the formation of the land is so favorab.e to the exist
ence of ol , that every oU man visiting tke region says :
"Salmon crock Is bound to equal the world renowned Oil
creek," and the speculating public have shown their faith
In It by leasing or buying every ai re or land from this
compauy's territory to the mouth of the Creek about tlvo
milts as well as up and down the Tlonetta river for
several miles.
This property Is situate about ten miles east of the Alle
gheny river. It abounds with the best description of timber
pine, cherry, hemlock, etc., which can be made to yield
a handsome revenue to the Company. The development
of the country is rapidly progressing. A well is being sunk
half a mllo trom the property, two others two miles from It,
and the Tlonesta river Is lined with thum on each side for
miles one at the mouth of'Nalmon creek, now yielding oil,
and all of Ihem giving such Indications while drllllug that
have heretofore only accompanied the sinking of the best
w ells on OU creek. In addition to tills, the counties sur
rounding Forest county north, south, east, aud west,
are all yielding oil, and give great strength to the suppo
sition that Foreit county Is lu the centre of an Immense
basin of oil, underlying that whole region of country,
A COMPETENT SUPERINTENDENT,
Mr. FRANK O. EVER, who has had four yoiri' expe

A limited number of shares will be sold at the above

property ow ned br them, over four square miles, the well-
known productiveness of tlie snrroundlng region, aud the
facilities possessed by tbem for the Immediate develop

The property of this Company Is all In Venango eonnty,
and Is believed to be as good ell territory as any In the
eennly:
go. 1. One-rbnrth royalty Interest In three acres one
hnndrsd and five perrhes of land, being the MofHIntoek
Reserve, situated at the Junction of Oil Crei k with Cherry
Ron. The leases (M yoarsl are held by onergetlc and re
sponsible men. There la a flowing well, struck about tlie
0tb of October, and Is now yielding 140 barrels per day,
with a good prospect of a large Increase. There la also a
posaping well, yielding over HO barrels. Increasing dally,
and It is confidently expected will become a large flowing
well. Three other wells are nearly completed, one SM rent
deep. In the third sand roek; one 4M) feet deeps rnt Ml
feet dees, jost through the third sand rock, and ready for
the engine, which Is on the ground, and another Just com
menced, in all of which oil has already bean found, and
will he. It Is supposed. In a few weeks, largely productive,
making six wells completed and tn active prooesa of com
pletion. On this territory there is room for twelve er six
teen wells, and, from the character of the leasees, will be
developed rapidvy.
Ho . J One half acre of ground tn the eentre of the above
tract, reserved originally by tbe owner as his roaidenoe,
and on which 11 stands. This la a fee simple, but subject
to one-fourth of the oil produced from It. The best Judges
pronounce this half acre to be at good oil territory as
any on the creek, and which the Company expect to deve
lop as rapidly as possible forthe benefit of the stockholders.
Ko.8. One-third working Interest In three and one-half
aerie on Oil Creek, situated further up, adjoining the
widow McCllntock's farm, and as favorably located as
alos.land 2. On this property there Is a new well, pro
ducing 30 barrels or oil daily, and Increasing. Another
well In progress of boring, and progressing tatltfactorlly.
This properly It susceptible of greater development, and
promises to be largely productive.
Xo. 4. Two hundred and ten aeres of land In fee simple
on Pltiiole Creek, three miles from the Allegheny Hirer,
and surrounded with wells, already developed aud success
ful. A Urge portion of this farm Is believed to bo good oil
territory.
No. 6. A valuable tract on Smart's ltun, containing
about thirty aeres. This Is regarded as onn of the most
desirable regions outside of Oil Creek and Cherry Unn.
Bevcral companies bare commenced operations with highly
favorable prospects.
fo. (. A valuable tract on and near Tubs Run, which
empties Into the Allegheny River, on the east side, about
one roue above Tlonesta Village. Several ravlnni past
through tills property, and there la considerable of good
timber on It. No reason w by It should not prove to be good
oil territory.
No. 7. A valuable tract on Tlonesta creek, lustahove
Laeey's Mills, on the left-hand sido of the creek, contain
ing abont fifty acres, with at many rods oa tbe ereek.
indications for oil very favorable.
No. 6. A valuable tract on Tlonesta creek, just above
the Inst described, containing about fifty acres, and about
fifty rods front on the ereek.
No. 9, A tract of territory on and ad iolnlng a rnn which
pties Into Hemlock cresk, abont five miles from Presi
dent, and nearto the property of the President Petrolenm
Company. It contains abont twohnndred acres, part well
timbered, the balance believed to be good oil territory.
No. 10, A valuable tract on and near Pithole Run, abont
one mile from the Allegheny river, and nearly opposite
the celebrated Pithole Creek, which It now regarded with
much favor. This property contains abont twenty-five
acres, part well timbered, and there are good reasons for
believing they will prove good oil territory.
Immediately on going into operation this company wlr
be la the receipt of say 60 barrel! o f oil per day, wlilvb
at tlO (it Is now selling at $V2), will be a daily Income
$i,00, or $10,000 per annum, enubllng the compiuiy
make dividends of not less than three per cent per montl
on the Invest moot from the beginning, with a good pros
pcet of a large increase,
It I believed that no oil companv has been formed with
more certain prospects of success. Only a limited por
tion I tlie stock Is oflercd at $r, as tlie corporators confi
dently believe that In a very thort time the stock will be
worth much more than par.
As the company reUes mainly on the first described
property for their present Income, tho following report,
tnsile by a committee of gentlemen appointed to make the
exumination, Is submitted :
Tbe undersigned committee, appointed to examine the
property of tlie McClintock Reserve Oil Company, respect
fully report
1 hat they navo thoroughly examined the John Mc' lln-
fork Reserve, situated at the junction of Oil Creek and
Cberrvltun. The property alocated on a beautiful biuff,
admirably adapted to boring. There arc six wells finished
and In progress. One well, which had been yieldiug about
forty barrels dally, had suddehly Increased to one hundred
and forty barrels, and was flowing at about this rate on
our visit. Another well, represented as yielding seventy
live barren, was pumping at tbe rate of eighty to ninety
barrels, and the Intelligent superlntendeat aud lease wui
sanguine In the expectation that In a thort time It would
beeonie a flowing well, and live a much btrger yield.
These two wells are but a few weeks old, and have evory
Indication of becoming vor j large wellt.
Three other wellt are In process of bortnir, and will be
finished on or before tlie first of January i and from tbe
truncations, we believe they will aU be largely productive.
One other well was just commenced, and will be pushed
rapidly to completion.
Tlie whole of tbe properly, exoept the half acre oa which
the homestead stands, has been leased, and is in the lusnds
of experienced and energetic men, who wl 1 spare no pains
or expense to develop the propertyln tlie best manner, aud
In the shortest possible time.
The derricks, houses, aagines, tools, etc , are all new,
and tlie best of their kind, and In excellent order, giving
evidence of the careful tnservlsloii of tbe owners of tho
leasee.
W e have no doubt that the Company's Interest one
fourth royalty now about nfrv-flve barrels perday, which
at $10 Is .,-'0, will be greatly Increased by the first of
January next i and as the land will admit of twenty wells
being bored upon it, a good Idea may be formed of the
Immense yield which will result when all are finished.
The homestead occupies half an aore from which the
Company will receive three-fourthf of the oil If they work
It, and which your committee strongly recommends i It
would uot be surprising il'lbls interest alone shimld, before
the expiration of a year, realize an Income of several hun
dred barrels per cay.
The entire property consists of a little over four acres,
with a superior dweldng and good barn upon It. From
Its proximity to Cherry Hon, and Its peculiar location,
together w 1th the fact that the property nad not been found
lo be atrected by other wells in tbe Immediate neighbor
hood, we are led to the conviction that it is one of tlie mast
desirable properties ou Oil Creek
