The property belonging to this company
consists of 121 acres, 103 perches, in fee
simple, of valuable Oil Land on the Clar
ion River, which, empties into the Alle
gheny about 40 miles below Oil creek.—
Both streams traverse a country of the
same geological formation, having the
same indications of Oil, and are believed
to he equally rich and valuable.
This property' has Ic.ch selected with a
view to its valuable location, having a
front of more than half it mile, which
gives it superior advsntages for drilling a
a large number of wells,
'lt is designed to commence work on the
gramid at once, The title has been pro
norniced good, and free from ineumbrances.
Thirtv - yenrs ago Mr. David Whitehill,
in boriit,g forsidt. water, at the mouth of
Deer creek, riteidng into the Clarion river,
seven miles beloW tile site of the present
town of Clarion, struck Oil at the depth of
300 feet. A stream of the fluid spouted up
into the air, which continued to flow, cov
ering the creek and adjoining land, until,
with the greatest difficulty a plug was in
serted into the openening whereby the salt
water was allowed to flow, but mixed
with the Oil.
Recent developments have demonstra
ted that Clarion River is superior in Oil
territory, and all the river border from
mouth to source has been bought up by
companies and individual capitalists. Oil
has recently been struck at a distance of
58 feet in the rock, not far from this land
and a Mr. Lyon, of the Sligo Furnace, who
has been boring for some time past, it is
said has struck at tine producing well, 8 or
10 miles from this land. The Deer creek
Oil companv, on company river, at the
mouth of Deer creek, Beaver Township,
Clarion county, has struck a flowing Well
which is estimated ait s'oo barrels per day
and other companies are boring with a
good show of Oil. All of this land is rich
in coal, Iron, Lead and Timber..
A limited number of shares will lie sold.
