THE CROPS.—The " mild spring weather
which has prevailed for •the last few days
has caused farmers throughout the coutitry
Ito` "prepare', fOr• ieeding, and his directed
public attention to the conditionof the win
• ter crops. . Reports from nearly all parts of
the. country concur showing" that the
prospect for a heavy , yield of winter wheat
has•seidoni looked more favorable than at
the present time. •The past winter has
been remarahly favorable for wheat. The
wintecwas unusually steady', and although
there was but little severely cold weather,
the ground. steadily remained frozen, and
was covered with snow for a longer period
than 'has been known for many years.
Theseiare the most favorable conditions for
wheat,-cold arid steady . weather, and the
ground covered with snow., It is the vari
able weather, in the winter time that causes
" winter-kill" in wheat. Changes from
cold to warm, freezing and then thawing,
cause an exposure of the tender roots of the
wheati and winter-kill follows. Accounts
front nearly the entire agricultural district
of the'West concur in the statement that
the wheat never looked better than now ;
and if it is fortunate enough to escape the
fly, weavil, rust, and other possible back
sets we may expect a bountiful crop.
SPRING.—In the mornings andevebingi the
air is still raw and cold, and yet the warb
ling of the birds, and the warm rays of the
sun, and the balmy air of the afternoons,
tell us that spring at last has mine, in all
its freshness and beauty. Nature will soon
be changing her robes of <lull, sober brown,
for hues of fresh and delicate green. Every
thing seems to have awakened into new life
and energy, after an unusally severe wif iter.
It is in such days as these we feel like escap
ing from the drudgery of every-day li lb to
the hills or along the brooks which run
through ; the valleys. 'Welcome, glorious
spring, standing midway between winter's
tedious frosts and hot and quivering sum
mer, coming to us Itidened with the first
blossoms and flow ers or the SekiliMl, and
laughing all over in the very gladness of
"her heart. What is inure beautiful than the
best tender flowers of spring ? Lowlier far
are they than all summer's 'idlest stores.

some seventy or eighty rafts must have

keep a sharp look:-out for such stuff as they

into the shore; and doubtljss they will lay
in a stock sullicibnt to supply all demands
for building material made upon them he

SUCCESS OF THE 7-30 LoAN.—t air readers
will notice that subscriptions to the popular
7-30 Loan are still continued in the most
liberal manner. To the old World the suc
cess of these Peoples' Loans is ,ffle of Ihe
wonders of a Republic. The Government
does not seek to borrow in foreign markets;
it offers no premiums to bankers, but ap
peals directly to the people, and with what
access is sufficiently shown by the fact
that during forty-three days they subscrib
ed and paid the cash down for one hundred
and sixty-one million dollars to the 7-30
Loan. There can be no stronger evidence
of public confidence in Government securi
ties. While nearly all other stocks have
gone down from,l wenty to fifty, and even a
greater per centl within a few weeks, all
forms of U. S. bonds and stocks have re
mained firm except the slight fluctua
tions that are', incident to all rapid
changes in the money market. Our read
ers Wlll remember that the subscribers to
the 7-30 Loan receive semi-annual interest
at the rate of seven and three-tenths per
cent. per annum in currency, and at the end
of three years from June 15th, 1865,- they
will have the option of receiving payment
in full, or converting their notes into a .5-20
six per cent. gold interest bond. The late
great decline in the premium on gold makes
these notes more desirable than ever as an
investment, audit should not be forgotten
that their exetion from state or muni
cipal taxation adds largely to their value.
There is no intefruption in the receipt of
subscriptions or the delivery of the notes.
All banks, bankers, and others acting as
Loan Agents, Is - ill pay subscribers the
interest in advance from the day of sub
scription until ;Kane 15th.

Richmond and Petersburg have beett
evacuated, and General Lee with the Cont.
federate army has retreated towards North
Carolina, probably to join Johnson.
This morning We. continue the history of
the great battle on the Appomattox. On
Saturday morning the Twenty-fifth corps,
under Weitzel, was on the north - bank of
the James, about six miles southeast of
Richmond. The Ninth corps was along the
Appomattox river, and in front of Peters
burg. The Sixth corps extended from the
Ninth along the Boydton road almost to
Hatcher's run. The Second corps was on
the Boydton: road at Hatcher's run. The
Second corps was on the Boydton road near
the intersection with White Oak road.
Then came the Fifth corps along the White
Oad road, and Sheridan's cavalry on the
extreme Federal western Rank, at Dinwid
die Court Douse.
On Saturday the battle was begun by
Sheridan and the Fifth and Second corps.
They made a determined attack upon the
Confederate works along the Boydton and
White Oak roads. They fought from day
light until about two in the afternoon, when
the Confederate troops gave way and aban
doned their works. At two o'clock in the
afternoon, Sheridan and the Fifth corps
pushed the Confederates hack to the Five
Forks, near the Soutbside railroad, thirteen
miles west of Petersburg. A. large force of
Confederates was cut off from the main
body; the Southside railroad was soon
reached near Sutherland Station, and the
Second corps was at once moved forward ;
at dark the cavalm . Seeond and Fifth corps,
Were all 011 the Southside railroad. General
Lee withdrew his troops to the north bank
of the Appomattox, and during Saturday
night prepared for the evacuation of Rich
mond and Petersburg.
Cm Sunday morning the entire Federal
line attacked the Confederate works. The
Ninth corps attacked Petersburg, and the
Sixth corps attacked the Confederate lino
west of Petersburg. Sheridan, the Fifth and
Second corps turned east along the South
side railroad and Boydton road, and ad
eauced I Nviird€3 Petersburg. The Twenty
fort rt h corps was in reserve. Sunday was
lie day of fiercest lighting. The battle
rageil from Deep Bottom, all along the line
to ilie Five Forks, thirteen miles west of
Petersburg. For over forty miles length
the troops were in conflict. The Con
federates fought to cover their evacu-
idiot] ; for during Saturday night Lee
began In draw them nil . towards North
'arol Ma. The Federal line gradually ad
anced at all points. Sheridan marched
east along the Appomattox. The Sixth and
Ninth corps broke:through the outer Con
federate works at Petersburg. By noon,
the confederates, excepting at Petersburg,
had all withdrawn to the north side of the
Appomattox. The Federal lines gradually
closed around the city, and at half-past
four in the afternoon they extended from
the bank of the Appomattox, three miles
west of Peterslmrg, around to the river
bank again, just east of thn city.
Lee spent ?ill this time in withdrawing
his army, and during Sunday night his
rear guard Eibandoned Petersburg. Ahnost
at the saute time his troops evacuated Rich
mond. The line of retreat was westward,
toward Borkes‘ ille, and from there south
ward towards Johnston's camp, in North
Carolina. Early on yesterday morning
Petersburg was discovered to be evacuated
and the Ninth corps marched in. At half
past eight, some of Weitzers negro troops
from Deep Bottum, on the north side of the
dames, marched up to Richmond and found
it deserted. It renmined for the negroes
carefully spared Ilroni doing any of the fight
ing, to be the tirst to enter the captured
city.
The great siege is at length ended. Rich
mond has fallen. The losses in these con
flicts which have continued almost without
intermission for five days, are not known.
They must be enormous. Part of Rich
mond was in names when Weitzel entered
it, and all the heavy guns and much valu
able property fell into his hands. The Con
federate retreat is west, towards Burkes
ville. The Richmond and Burkesville
railroad is used extensively. C: rant started
all his army yesterday on a march north
west across the Appomattox towards
Burkesville, to intercept their retreat, if
possible, but the Confederates have had so
much time that they will probably succeed
in getting off.
From Monday's Age
moral Grant has gradually closed his
lines arr and Petersburg. The Confederates
have abandoned their works defeLding the
Southside railroad, and all those east and
West of Petersburg. They still hold the
inner line defending the city. The fighting
has been eollthluons since Wednesday, and
at half-past !bur ye , terday afternoon was
still raging.
The Fed eral expedition against the South :
side railroad is commanded by Generals
Meade and Grant in person. It is com
posed of ITumphrey's Second corps, num
bering twenty-eight thousand; Warren's
Fifth corps, numbering twenty-three thous
and, and Sheridan's cavalry, numbering
nine thousand; twenty-five hundred being
mounted, the others dismounted. The ex
pedition is sixty thousand strong, and was
ordered to start on Wednesday last. Two
divisions of the Twenty-tinu•th corps, from
the north bank of the James, crossed the
river on Tuesday and were sent to Hatch
er's run to occupy the Federal entrench
ments. (to Tuesday night these troops held
the works and the Second and Fifth corps
lay in the rear of them prepared for the
movement next morning.
Hatcher's run lbws southeast from the
Soul hside railroad. It is crossed by several
common roads running southwest from
Petersburg. Five miles from the South
side railroad is the Bovdton plank road,
running to Dinwiddie Court House, thir
teen miles from Petersburg. This gradual
ly separates from the Southside railroad,
and at Num' iddie is eight miles from it.
About a mile south of Hatcher's run the
White Oak road diverges from the Bodyton
road towards the railroad and rims far down
into Southern Virginia. It does not at any
point approach within live miles of the rail
road. Along the Boydton and White Oak
roots, the Confederates have a formidable
line of works parallel with and defending
the soutbside railroad.
1; rant's of ti ect was to capture these works.
on Tno.day night his troops lay along
Hatcher's run, southeast of the Boydtou
road crossing. The Second corps was on
the Vaughan road. The Fifth corps farther
down, and the cavalry still farther down
the stream. The line faced southwest and
the next morning was to swing around,
with the Second corps for a pivot, so as to
Face northwest. Sheridan having the far
thest to go, started at two o'clock on Wed
nesday morning, made a long detour to the
southward, and in the evening halted at
Dinwiddie Court House, eight miles from
the Southside railroad. The Fifth corps
started at three in the morning; crossed
Hatcher's run; marched southwest some
distance and came to the Quaker road,
which runt; northwest towards the South
side railroad. The corps turned into this
road and marched northwest, and at noon
found the Confederates in three about a half
mile from the Boydton road. The Second
corps started at six in the morning; crossed
the run On the Vaughan road, and turned
northwest, marching towards the Boy dton
road, along the southern bank of the run.
The Second corps did no fighting. It en
camped in line of battle on Wednesday
night, one mile from the Boydton road. The
Firth corps had a severe contest on the
Quaker road and lost four hundred men. It
succeeded in beating back the Confederate
advance however ; crossed the Boydton road
soul h of the intersection of White Oak road,
and at night encamped in line of battle one
mile from the White Oak road. The Federal
line was thus six miles from the. Southside
railroad, and one mile from the Confederate
works along the Boydton and White Oak
roads. These movements were put pre
liminary, and everything was yet to be
done. On Wednesday night rain fell in
torrents, and the Confederates availed them
selves of the storm to get their troops into
position, and to feel the Federal lines in
front of Petersburg,
On Thursday the rain continued. The
Federal troops made no attack. They lay
in camp all day. The . Confederates biought
up reinforcements, strengthened their
works, and assumed the offensive. On
Friday morning before daylight they con
centrated a strong force in front of the Fifth
corps on the Federal left, The Fifth corps

were, bloody, and. nxinited_ the Confede
rates still holding the works along the
Boydton and White Oak roads. There had
been no serious attack made against these
works, and at no point were the Federal
troops within five miles of the Southside
railroad. The loss of the Filth corps in
Friday's battle was about twelve hundred.
On Satirday morning the Federal line
was 'reinforced and renewed the attack.—
Sheridan advanced from Dinwiddie Court
House and Warren's Fifth corps was moved
some distance westward so as to support
the cavalry. The line of attack along the
Quarker road was abandoned. The Federal
troops advanced and succeeded in penetra
ting between the Confederate main body and
three brigades of infantry, that were some
distance to the westward. The battle raged
with great fury. The Second corps was not
engaged and in the afternoon it was reported
that Sheridan had captured the three bri
gades with their trains. Still the Confeder
ates held their works and could not be
driven out of them.
Yesterday the contest was again renewed.
To assist the attack, all the Federal line in
front of Petersburg and the Appomattox,
and on the north side of the James, was or
dered to advance. At noon it was reported
that the troops in front of Petersburg had
penetrated the Confederate lines and cap
tured some of their works. Along the
Boydton and White Oak roads, however,
the Confederate line was still unbroken.
Sheridan moved to the eastward again, and
the entire Federal line—the cavalry, the
Fifth and Second corps—turned to the east
ward, and moved towards Petersburg.
A short distance west of Petersburg, the
Sixth corps succeeded in breaking through
the Confederate line and reached the South
side railroad. The troops at once began de
stroying it. The Federal lines gradually
closed around Petersburg, pushing the Con
federates before them. At half-past four
yesterday afternoon the line had moved up
and extended from the Appomattox river,
three miles west of Petersburg, around to
the Appomattox, east of the city. The Con
federates abandoned all their works east
and west of the city, and held only the forts
immediately in front of the town. General
Grant states that he has captured tifty can
non and twelve thousand prisoners.
Full accounts have been received of the
Federal advance against Mobile. The
troops have been concentrated on Dauphine
Island, at the mouth of Mobile bay. Large
numbers of Federal soldiers have been sent
from Dauphine Island to advance up
both sides of the bay. on March '22, how
ever, they were still at the lower end of the
bay, with Confederate troops in front of
them. Several days before, the Federal
fleet shelled some batteries on the east
side of the bay, but since then had clone
nothing. On March 13th the Federal troops
marching front Pensacola were forty miles
east of Mobile. The v.llllllll marching from
New Orleans has not been heard from. We
have no news of Wilson's Federal cavalry
raid from Eastport.

From Fortress Monroe—Further Par
ticulars of the Fall of Richmond.
FORTRESS MONROE, April 3.—lntelli
gence of the capture of Petersburg and
Richmond reached here to-day at lOo'clock
by a dispatch from Gen. lieitzel, dated 5:,15
A..M. in Richmond wbich announced the
' the glorious ''' . (..went. The mail steamer
Dictator, arrived from City Point at 4:30
this afternoon with additional particulars of
this great struggle.
Petersburg was occupied by our troops at
3 A. M., on Wednesday; the gunboats
were all well up James river, and it was
thought a fight had taken place with the
rebel iron-clads. Large fires were seen up
James river, towards Fort Darling and in
vicinity or other rebel works, from which
it was inferred that Lee was abandoning
his works and retreating front his long
established lines.
Immense numbers of prisoners captured,
estimated at 15,000 to 18,000, were continu
ally coming in at City Points.
It was estimated that there was 15,000
there Ibis morning. When the Dictator left,
this A. M., a salute was being tired by all
war vessels at City Point.
The steamer Cossack also arrived here
to-day, with a large nuns bar of Union pris
oners, including (;en. lkleLaughlin and
men of his brigade, captured by the rebels in
the assault on Fort Steadman. Such was
the haste of the rebels hurrying Union pri
soners through Richmond on Sunday, that
in many cases they were not even paroled.
500 out of 700 on board the Cossack never
signed the parole. These prisoners say,
that in coining through Richmond yester
day (Sunday), they saw manifest indications
of evacuation of the city.
The hills were alive with people of all
classes and conditions manifesting intense
excitemen t.
All priNimers in Libby hail been ordered
to be exchanged by rebel authorities, and
were hurried through the city towards
Varina Landing in the greatest possible
haste.
Rejoicing at City Point, de
WASHINGTON, April 4.—From the mail
boat Dictator, which left City Point yester
day at 10 a. m., the ,Stagy• obtained the fol
lowing, among other items:
She reports that the receipt of the news
of the fall of Richmond was received at
City Point with the greatest enthusiasm,
and the vessels in port were immediately
gaily decorated with flags, presenting a
handsome appearance. At Fortress Mon
roe a salute was fired, and the sailors and
soldiers expressed their joy in various
ways.
On Sunday night, before evacuating Rich
mond, the rebels blew• up their forts and
rams on the James river, the explosion of
which was terrific, resembling an earth
quake, and being heard for nnles around.
Our gunboats have moved up the James
and are engaged in removing the obstruc
tions.
Gen. Weitzel upon entering Richmond,
was directed by Gen. Grant to allow no one
to leave the city or permit any one to enter
who was not connected with the army, or
had authority to do so.
The rebels fired Petersburg in several
places before evacuating the town, but the
fire was speedily extinguished.
- - -
Over 3,000 prisoners have already been
received at Cityyoint, and others are con
stantly arriving. In fact there were so
many prisoners there thata sufficientnum
ber of troops could not be spared to guard
them, and consequently detachments of
sailors and marines were taken from gun
boats and placed in charge of them.
The entire number of prisoners captured
by our troops up to yesterday morning
was estimated at $13,000, by well informed
officers. Our wounded are being sent into
City Point as rapidly as possible, and hos
pital boats are there taking them on board
for shipment to Baltimore and Washington.
The rebel deserters- in the bull-pen at
City Point appeared to receive the news of
the fall of Richmond with as- great
enthusiasm as our own troops, and gave
cheer afteroheer.- • • '

yielded to- our -victorious armies, and the
greater portion of- this army : are to-night
within a-mile and a half of the city on the
kinthweet - side. The struggle made by the
enemy to retain these works, has been of a
most desperate eharactei, and for- the suc
cess obtained to.iity, we are indebted not
only to strategy eierciaed by commanders,
but to overwhelming numbers and bravery
of the troops that did the work; Orders for an
attack on the line east and south of Peters
burg by the 6th and 9th corps were carried
out punctually.
At daylight, the, artillery having been
hammering away the greater part of the
night along the entire line held by the above
corps, such a furious cannonade has been
very seldom heard during the war, not even
surpassed by that which was heard on the
occasion of the mine explosion.
The Ninth corps troops inaction were the
Secsmd and Third divisions, and Col. Sam
Hammon's brigade of the First division.
The charge was made in front of Forts Hull
and Rice, on the Jerusalem road, and were
so far successful that by 8 a. m. we were in
possession of three fortifications. Fort
Mahone, being the most extensive and
elaborate of these works, contained four
teen guns, some of which were
at once opened on the enemy by
men belonging to infantry regiments.
Just inside, about 100 yards from Fort Ma
hone, was another work, to which the rebels
retreated, and from which they threw a
most destructive fire upon our men, causing
them to retire from the northern end,
when the rebels made a dash, thinking to
recover it entirely; but the guns on the
right wing as well as on the centre had
been manned and shotted, and the
assailants driven back. From this time till
late in the afternoon the struggle continued,
the enemy using every effort to recover
Fort White. Our men were determined to
retain possession of what they had fought
so hard and paid so dearly for. About noon
chances seemed that we should lose it, but
soon ;tiler the Provisional Brigade, under
Gen. Collis, and the Engineer Brigade,
under lien. 13euhant, with Gen. Ilamlin's
Brigade of the Sixth Corps came on ground,
and by their timely arrival saved the gal
lant men in the works from capture, and
again caused the enemy to retire. The fire
which rained on the ground around this
tort was of most fearful character, and to see
men advance on a run through the very
thickest of it, many of them torn to pieces
and lost sight of before they crossed half
the distance, was a sight not soon to he for-
gotten.
At dark the position of the contestants
was the same as during the day. General
Wilcox, with a part of his division, made
an attack in front of Fort McGilvey, near
the Appomattox, and took part of the lino
but was soon after forced to retire to hi;;
former position owing to a lack of support.
The loss of the Ninth corps will reach from
000 to 1,000 in killed, wounded and priso
ners, among whom were General Potter,
commanding the 2d division, who is badly
-rounded in the groin, but not fatally, it is
t hough( .
Col. Getchell of the 31st Maine, severely ;
Major Button, 31st Maine, severely ; Col.
Gregg and Lieut. Col. Winslow, 179th New
- York, wounded ; Major Morrow, 205th
Penn., lost a leg ; Lieut. Alexander, 205th
Penn., killed.
The corps have taken 14 guns, about 200
prisoners, and two battle-flap, the latter
by the 211th Penn.
The 6th corps struck the enemy's line in
front of Fort Welch near the celebrated lead
works, and carried them with very slight
loss.
They at once pushed for the Southside
road, which they reached about 9 o'clock,
and in a very short time several miles of it
were torn up and destroyed. They then
moved on down toward Petersburg, driv
ing the rebels before them, across the town,
over and into their inner lines, close to the
city. They took a large number of prison
ers (about 2,000) and some twenty guns.
No attack on the inner line has been made
as yet, as the position is a strong one, and
will either be defended to the last or evacu
ated during the night.
The Twenty-fourth corps, holding the
lines north of Hatcher's rtm, and
south of the Duncan road, connecting with
the 6th corps on the right, and.the 2d on the
left, advanced at daylight and took the
works in their front, with slight loss. Over
1,000 prisoners were captured here. These
troops were Poster's and Turner's, and di
visions under Gen. Gibbons. They were
supported by the colored diirision of the 25th
corps, but the latter did ntit get into action.
The 2nd corps which held the line from
the Run a mile and a half east of the Boyd
town road, to over a mile east of it, delayed
advancing until Sheridan with the Rh
corps got within supporting distance on the
relic left, when the entire line moved
'mord carrying the works almost without
opposition. The enemy was found to have
fallen back from this part of the line owing
to the 6th corps cutting them off, they hav
ing reached the South Side road early in the
forenoon and being busy tearing it up. This
of course cut the rebel army in two, and
the two divisions thus caught between the
6th and 2nd corps, at once stood across the
South Side road toward the Appomattox,
hoping to he able to find it and thus escape
capture. But it appears they ran against
Sheridan, and putting on a hold appearance
made a show of fight.
ews to this effect reaching headquarters,
two divisions of the Second corps were at
once sent to flank, and, if possible, capture
the entire command. Our losses during
the day cannot be given, but it is believed
2,000 will cover them, many valuable offi
cers being among the number, whose
names, however, are not obtainable to-
j;pcial otiro.

LANCASTER AND VENANGO MUTUAL
PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION.
The property of the Lancaster and Venango
Mutual Petroleum Association consists of
Ninety-One Acres of Land, in fee simple, situ
ated on the eastern bank of Big Sandy Creek,
and on either side of Stony Run which flows
through the middle of it, in French Creek
township. Venango county. It presents& large
proportion of boring ground, amounting to at
least sixty acres.
Part of the land is covered with fine oak
timber, well calculated for the manufacture of
coal oil barrels, this alone is of great value in
that locality where thou Sands of barrels are
wanted daily to hold the I ich products of sur
rounding wells.
It is evident also that large deposits of bitu
minous coal exist In the elevated portions of
this tract; they are however undeveloped.
Within one utile east and west coal mines are
w, rked on an extensive scale.
Recent experiments demonstr ,te that the
" ilig Sandy " is not second to Oil Creek in oil
wealth as to quantity, wh le the quality is far
superior, and worth nearly twice the price of
the illuminating oil upon Oil Creek; the Big
Sandy producing the heavy lubricating oil.
The excitement is now in that direction. Num
bers of wells are now down and being bored
all along the waters of the Big Sandy. Oil was
struck % of a mile above this tract on the 7th
of February, A. D., 1665. There is a fifty barrel
producing well at the mouth of the Big Sandy,
this is about a mile oft
The land of this company lies due south of
the property of the Sugar Creek Oil Company,
in the same belt, about W . , miles; said Sugar
Creek Company struck a 70 barrel well in the
latter part of February, 1885, which sent the
stock up front one to twenty-tour dollars (324.00)
in a few days.
It is the determination of this company to
fully develop their whole territory. Subscribers
to stock can feel satisfied that no eff rt will be
spared on tile part of the officers and managers
to bring out the oil, which must be within
reach or faithful labor. We invite a careful ex
tunination of our prospectus by all. We have
every confidence In our oil prospects, and ev
ery assurance that the stock of the company
wit, soon advance in price.
The managers of this association, while they
do not wish to misrepresent, at the same time
beg leave to bring the stern fact before the pub
lic, that after all that is said about this, that
and tile other tract of oil land and oil wells, in
nine out of ten times there is no 01l there, out
side of Venango county. Venango county is the
oil county. Remember that! Examine the list
of producing wells. We point to it with pride:
Cherry Run, Sugar Creek, Cognette Well, Reed
Well, Auburn Well, Big Sandy, Dalzell, Mc-
Clintock, etc , etc., all in Venango county, in
close proximity to the "Lancaster and Venan
go Tract." There is oil wherever biturdinous
coal exists, but not everywhere in sufficient
quantities to pay for boring and pumping. The
great reservoir of oil, or oil basin, hes in Venango
county, under Oil Creek, Cherry Run, Sugar
Creek, Big Sandy Creek, and the adjacent parts
of the Allegheny river.
There are now only 5',000 shares of the stock
of this company offered for sale, the rest is all
taken.

In forming the above named company, great
care has been t ;ken In the selection of proper
ties, so as to Mier none but those well known
to the public, and which have been tried and
found ;o be the best yet developed. The sys
tem of the organization will be on the mutual
plan, the same as that of the PEOPLE'S
EQUITABLE OIL COMPANY, which was so
soon taken and now so eagerly sought after.—
The working capital is to be $30,000, which will
be a very handsome fund for commencing th
development of the property, and it is the in
tention of tne managers to push the work en
ergetically, and with confidence of the great
success of the undertaking. The subscription
has been placed at the low figure of 50 cents
per share, so as to enable all to have a chance
tor investment in this profitable business,
where so many fortunes have been made. The
properties havin been taken up some t;me
since, at low prices, makes C e investment
doubly desirable, on account of cheapness,

which sent their stock from 01.00 per share, to

The character of the above interests, situated
as they are in the centre of what is known as
the "Great Oil Basin," should certainly com
mend themselves to the serious attention of
those who contemplate investing in Oil Com
panies and are unsurpa sed by any as a basis
for an honorable and energetic petroleum or

management are determined to tutus into it,
it certainly must prove a good investment.
