The undersigned have seeureilThs right to purchase several tracts of land - in Wirt .aud' Roane.Counties; West Virginia, lying in the best Oil Region of that State, And,containing over TAO acres, all of which have been selected with peat care, and examined and reported omby Prot wahani F. Roberts. The price of the lands avemgei about $55 per acre, less than one-tenth of the 'cuStoruary,price of 011 Terri tory,.tracts having been lately sold in the same neigh bortioixl, within two Miles of some of these, at $l,OOO per acre, It is proposed to organize this 'Association, to pur chase the lands, and furnish working capital to develop . boo,ooo shares will be sold, at. $1 each, which will pay for the lands, and -produce a working capital; of Subscriptions not taken for less' than 25 shares. - Befdrepaying for any. tracts the titles will be careful ly examined by competent counsel In Virginia, and nh - additional geological examination made of them by an experietwedgeologist ; and in case of unfavorable, re port upon mAs,truct, either as to title, value as Oil Territory;•suil tract will not be taken, and the capital of the Association proportionally reduced . ..."• - As - fast as siitlicient subscriptions are rriade, and the proper examinations completed, the tracts will be taken •possession of, and wells put down airaphily.as capital and e'nergy can accomplish the - work. • In working the lands, the system of leatilng parts for a royalty will be adopted in order to develop 89 large a body as•rapidly as practicable. After securing all the tracts favorably.reported on,.they will • be.lormed into FiveCOmpanies, under the General Law Of West Vlr-• glide, each with A capital of $1.000,000, divided Into 100,500 shares of $10: each Company owning one-fifth of the lands purchased, and having $20,000 working capital. • , . EachSubseriber to this.Asiociation will reeeive.one. fifth, of his - subscription.' n the stock of each of the Companies. • - • • .. James. Lynd, Esq., has consented to 'act as Trustee for the Association, In order to receive the Subsciip, tions for Stock, and pay for, and hold the- titles to. the lands. As r socin as 50,00fialiares shall have been subscribed, a-temporary Board of Officers will .I.)e, chosen' by the subscribers, to, supervise the examination of the lands, sad manage the 'affairs of the As:iodation, until the several Companies are formed and organized. : The Importance Of the oil Production and trade 'is just beginning to be understood and appreciated •, new uses are daily forind, and the demand. is...rapidly in. "creasing, keeping always in-advance of the supply.— Prom the money article of the "Philadelphia Ledger," of lfith•inat., we quote , the following in. confirmation of this view: • • . • , • . " The operations in Oil Company Stock were -again large, 'covering sales of some 33,000 shines. Prices ruled steady throughout the day, with an advance in some few instances,- and the shares of all the better class of CoMpanies were firm. The • stocks of several of the companies are coming to ne considered invest ment securities, their dividends being large and regu larly paid., The field of productive operations in oil is steadily widening, but the widened field and increased :production do not keep pace with, the uses to-which the oil is applied, and prices are. adVancing. , The boring 'excitement In Greene county-la now becoming as great as it has hitherto been on Oil Creek, and the excite ment. on the'same subject is all aglow in Virginia, Southern Ohio and Northern Aientucky._ , Thd success that attends. the search for oil in the regions named is pioducing great excitement, and although some money • may . be lost by unwise speculators in shares, there is scarcely a doubt that much oil will 'be produced, es. tablishing a source of wealth hitherto unknown; or, if knosin, unappreciated: , . • . . - • Some Oil Companies - have been unsuccessful, from the fact; f buying lands :Indly.selected, having too lit tle territory or too small a capital. In such an enter prise as this; with an .enormous territory. in the best oil region, 'selected by the most competent judges, and with abundant cash means, failureitt • simply ittipossi- , The. twrestments and - profits are certain.; -1.00 - per cent.- per annum le 'a low estimate or ,the•profila on the amount invested. The land will always be worth more than the price paid 'for it for farming purposes. 640 acres of the land, in the .most desirable location, may be selected and laid out for a town. (this being express ly authorized by the law of West Virginia, under which the Companies will.be. incorporated,) and these lota sold at a moderate price will return the whole capital to the Stockholdere, . Onetifttf will be required to be paid on every share at the time of subscription. and the balance as requiredi not. more than'one-fifth of each share to be called in at one time. • .. The undersigned re/Teeth:dy submit to their fellow citizens that the presententerprise offers a safer; serer, and cheaper investment than. any 011 enterprise yet started, and ednieftly incite their.co-operation to, en• sure its success ; Subscriptions at $1 a share, cannot be made atter let 01 January nert.. . . . • .
