An allusionlto the Dunkard Oil Company In our pa

upon inquiry to have been unreliable, in justice to the
community and the highly respectable gentlemen who
manage the enterprise we publish the folio wing state
ments of the resource* of the company, furnished to
ns by genUemen in whose word we have every confi.
tdence. The properties of the company are located as
follows:
1. The “Prior Farm,** situated on Ten-Mile Creak,
about four or five miles from the Monong&bela river,
into which the creek empties. This property contains
about one'hundred acres, ana Is owned by the company
in fee The surface of the ground ascends gradually as
it recedes from the creek. A five* feet vein ot bituminous
coal underlies this entire tract. A well i« now going

The " Bower Leaee, ’' eoatalnln* twoaeres of-bottom
land on Ten-Mile Creek, below the Pollock Farm, and
joining thereon. These properties also lie near the
Clarksville well, which promises to be a success. 3L
She “Boge Lease,* 1 on huff's Creek, a splendid piece
of bottom land, containing about one acre, all of which
Is available for boxing purposes, oue eighth of the oil
reserved by the lessor. 4. The * * JJapel Lease,*’ ou
Bunkard Creek. About one and a Quarter acres of this
lease is good boring land, and lies immediately upon
the creek. A loell is now going down upon this pro
petty. She company have a very fine engine upon the*
£ round at work, under the superintendence ot Mr. A.
i. Williams, a gentleman of large experience In this
line of business. This well is about the distance of two
squares, (say from Market to Walnut streets,) from the
celebrated Wilfy well. 5. The **Mt. Morris”lease, on
Packard Creek, containing about two-thirds of an
acre of bottom land, lying opposite the Donly Farm,
upon which there is an oil spring. 6. The “Ty»
sard Lease,* 1 on Dunkard Creek, containing three
acres of good bottom land, with unmistakable in
dications of oil. At the last westing of the directors,
Mr. O. B. Griffiths, of this city, was elected superin
tendent. with instructions to proceed at once to the
ncene of operations, and push on the work of the com
pany with all possible , vigor. • For this purpose the
company have authorized Mr. Griffiths to purchase an
additional murine, and aU the necessary appliances for
the {diking of another well open Donkard Creek, pro
bably npon the Mt. Morris Le.Be Consequently in
the course if the next two weeks the company will
hare two weilsgoing down, one of which la already
under way. we are also assured by the officers of the
company that it is their intention t > develop aU the
above properties ae rapidly as possible They have a
Working capital of *85,000, all of which wUI be ex
pended In developing the lands if necessary.
A plan Is on foot at Chicago to tunnel the south
jbr&nch of the liver to an extent sufficient to accom
modate railway trains and ordlnarj travel. The move
meat originated with the Plttshnrg, fort Wayne, and
Chicago Ballroad Company, who have long felt the
necessity of having greater facilities for commnnl
eations with the south side, their large freight depot
ielngwestof the river. They proposed to the city to
raise *lOO,OOO hy private subscription, If the Common
Council would appropriate a similar amount for the
construction of a tnnnol under the river at Washington
street. In consideration of raising this money, and the
Payment of *20,000 cash to the city, the railroad com
pany ask that the Common Connell shall vacate that
portion of West Mams street, between Canal street and
ihe riverj in order that they may occupy the same as
depot grounds in connection with the property they
already hold adjoining.

This company owns In fee simple over POKE
SQUARE MILES OP TERRITORY, in the choicest lo
calities east and west of the Allegheny river, and being
TWO SQUARE MILES, known ae the Cotter Para,
situate on the Philadelphia and Erie Xatlraad, one
and ahalf miles west of Garland Station, in Warren
county, Pennsylvania, within eighteen hoars’ ride of
Philadelphia y and TWO SUIT ARE MILES on the North
Salmon Creek, Porest county, Pennsylvania, just
over the border of Venango county. These lands are
acknowledged by oil men, geologists, etc., to be in the
very centre of the great oil region.
Developments are rapidly progressing in all direc
tions around the lands of the company, and within two
miles oil is being abundantly obtained. The company
is already receiving a revenue equal to an ordinary
producing well from their.saw mill and timber. They
have lumber sufficient to keep their mills running for
fifteen years. On the property on Salmon Creek, Fo
rest county, there are also large deposits of Bituminous
Coal, which can be worked and will increase the pro
fits of the company very materially. The Cotter Farm
is situate about ten miles north of the celebrated Tide-
onte, oh the Allegheny* river, which was the first
spot where wells were drilled and oil obtained.
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS is appropriated as a
“working capital,” and the work of development is
being vigorously pushed forward. Engines are already
on tho ground, and five wells are to be immediately
snnk on the property, by the most experienced hands
the region can produce, under competent superinten-
dence. NoJahor or necessary expense will be spared
inmakingthlsa ‘‘dividend-paying company, ’ ’ at the
earliest possible moment, and also in making it one of
the best companies in the market.
This company have declined to purohaeosmaZl inte-
rests in prodncingwells, for the purpose of making it
a “dividend-payingcompany” at the commencement,
as many others have, and, therefore, have precluded
all possibility of a decrease of the value of their stock
from a partial or total cessation of the production of
the'wells, ae so often occnrs by the close proximity of
neighboring companies in their operations.
They invite all who desire Investing in Oil Compa-
nies with a really solid basis, to call at their office and
examine prospectuses, draughts, etc.
All orders through the Philadelphia Board of Brokers
or Bankers, throughout the State, will receive prompt
attention.
