CAPITAL, $600,000; SHARES,6O,OOO; PAR VALUE,SIO,
The property of this Company is situated on the idle
gheny River, and embraced within a distance of about
two-and-a-half miles from the town of Franklin, Ye
nanco county, Henna., and upon the same side of said
rirer.
It consists of the entire working interest, {which is
one-half of the Oil produced,) in a Lease and Oil Well
located on the well-known "Hoover Farm, ’’celebrated
as among the first and moat productive Oil Territories,
and known as the ** HOOVER & MARSHALL WSLL ” ,
The lease is for Ten Rods square with & frontage of a
like number of rods upon the Hirer, giving room for
two more wells, and has an unexpired term of twenty
seven years. Tx ere is also a first-class ten horse
Engine, Tubing, Tanks, and everything necessary to
carry on successful operations.
The Well (which is a flowing and pumping one) has
been in operation for three years, ana, carelessly han
dled, has produced regularly from 100 to 112 bbls. per
week (Including stoppage), at times Flowing Eighteen
Barrels per day, yielding for the working interest of
the Company about $30,000 annually. The Oil is supe
rior, its lubricating Qualities commanding for it $3 to
$6 per barrel more than the oil from Oil Creek. This
well, rightly handled and actively worked by the cele
brated Patent Air Pump, leaves but little doubt of its
being restored to its original production—-from 40 to 60
barrels per day.
The other property of the Company consists in a va
luable river tract of fifty acres in fee simple, adjoining
the extreme borough One of Franklin, with a large
boring surface facing the river, and also upon the creeks
that run through the tract, thereby increasing boring
surface, and enhancing greatly its value as oil terri
tory- In addition to this, it has, from its contiguity to
tie county town of one of the most flourishing and ra
pidlyrrowlngtowus.of the'State, a-lav*, surface value.
In the product of the wells of this region, there has
ever been a remarkable uniformity, which, with the
late valuable discovery of a 70-barrel well on the island
opposite the * 4 Hoover Farm,” and the discovery of
large and valuable producing wells all around the
Companyproperty, (seeextract below,) stamps the
region as one of the most valuable oil territories. The
Franklin Citizen , in noticing the new wells recently
struck, says:
' * One by Pale A Morrow, on October 12, on the Coch
rane Farm, two id ilea below Franklin, which yielded
240 barrels at the first forty-eight hours’ pumping, is
considered good for 100 barrels. John Lee has also ob
tained a flowing well, on the Martin Farm, just above
the Hoover, and nearly opposite the Cochrane, which
flows over 60 barrels per day. Also, Mr. Hobs, who
owns a lease on the Smith Farm, who has been pump
ing 4 barrels per day at 4CB feet deep, sunk his well 424
feet, and struck a well giving 40 barrels per day. All
these strikes have been within ten days, and the pros
pect of a number more in a short-time. ’ 5
- Fifteen thousand shares have been set aside by the
Company for the purpose of boring three more wells
This region, with its oil wells so celebrated for their
steadiness and durability, ;the great numbers of large
flowing and pumping wells recently discovered, the
superior quality of the oil as a lubricator, and the high
prices always so readily obtained, with extraordinary
shipping facilities, from the wells being located on the
margin of the river, and only two*aad-a-half miles
from the rsllioad, unite to offer parties wishing to in
vest in oil territory safely, inducements of the highest
character. • . „

The property of the Company consists of the following
valuable losses on Oil Crei-k and Cherry Ban, and
which are only partially developed, the production
being nearly sixty barrels per day, equal to over ONE
PER CENT PER MONTH on the capital stock, and is
increasing. Also, a tract of 157 aereß in fee simple on
Cherry Run, on the most valuable portion of it, suffi
cient of itself for a company with twice the capital
stock. This pjoperty.was selected for private invest
ment, and not for speculation, and offers inducements
seldom met with in the many companies now organ
izing;
No. L MILLER FARM.
This is 1-12 free on lease of 11 acres, on which there is
one well flowing over 60 barrels per day. Also, 2-12 of
the oil in said well, making in all 8-12 or££ of the oil
free of expense.
No. 2. STEVENSON FARM.
An undivided half part of the Barber Farm, contain
ing 40 acres, situate on* Oil Creek, adjoining Foster, and
about one mile above the Noble well. This property
lies in the vicinity of some of the best oil territory on
the Creek, and if developed, prove immensely valuable.
The other undivided half is owned by a Oompat y who
are preparing to work the land vigorously, and the pro
duct of tbe oil this interest shares.
No 8. BENNYHOOF FARM.
This is a lease of 3& acres, on which is erected a refi
nery in full operation and four wells are being put
down.' One isc. mpletesnd ready for testing, another
nearly down, and the remainder' progressing. It is a
remarkable fact tuat no well has been sunk on this flat
that has failed t j produce oil, and within the next sixty
days doubtlcssthis interest will pay well
«. B. Since tbe above, information ha* been received
that one well is down, ready to tube, with every fine
show; and another nearly ready to tube. From them
it is not unreasonable to expect at least 50 barrels per
day to tbe interest..
No. 4. BUCHANAN FARM. ,
This Is a lease of 2 K acres, situate at the mouth of
Cherry Run, or which tl ere is one pumping and one
flowing v ell, producing to this interest 40 barrels per
day, and increasing. There is room for at least three
more wells ,
No. 6. A FARM OF 157 ACRES, v
.ln fee simple, on Gheiry Run, near Plumer,' three*
fourths of which is boring territory, being nearly all
flat-bottom land. On this tract it is the intention of the
Compary to commence work at once, intending to sink
several wells, and offer inducements tojesponsible par
ties to lease a portion of it. *
It is confidently expected by a judiclo is and vigorous
prosecution of the several interests, this Company will
be able to pay from one to two per cent per mouth from
the commencen ent on the entire capital etock. It is
confidently expected the Company will declare a divi
dend early in January for this month from the present
production.
