This property consists of an area of 1,185 acres of magnificent of) and mineral lands, of which the Company owns an undivided half interest in fee. slm- Sle, extending IK miles on the Kanawha river, which i navigable to the Ohio. Other streams, tributaries of the Kanawha, traverse this tract, presenting along their margins every surface indication of a rich yield of oil. The Company holds the right to put down wells all over this extensive boring surface* and oil has already been discovered on this property, ne&T the river, at the depth of 36 feet. The sinking oftwo wells to the depth of 800 reel, if necessary,.was provided for in the purchase of the.land, all of which is paid for without touching the working or reserved capital of the Company. In addi tion to this, the Company owns to important interest (also paid for) in a well located within 100 yards of -tike SreatLewellynyrell, which has flowed 2,6oobarrels per' ay, and is directly among the celebrated Rafchbone group (see map). These are, it is said, the greatest pro ducing wells in the country. The former owners of this well were ft reed to abandon it on the breaking out of the rebellion, but the Company has now made ar rangements to reopen and tube ft, when a large yield of oil may reasonably be expected from this source alone. In addition to the above described properties, the Com pany owns in fee simple some 400 acres of mineral lands in Pennsylvania, This Company Is most fortunate in posresiisg every facility for rapidly developing the oil* having on its own property both timber ana coal in great abundance, and in also, having the resident Su perintendent of the works, Mr. T. G. Farnsworth, largely interested as a stockholder. The manage ment being in the hands of practical men, of indomi able energy and perseverance* the stockholders may reasonably expect eoon to find their shares ranking with the best dividend-paying stocks on the market; for, being out of debt, and having a large working capital, the holders of stock in this Company take no risk of bring called upon for additional means to cany on the operations of the Company, but on the contrary, as soon as oil shall be obtained in sufficient quantities, a dividend on the capital stock will be declared. The remaining portion of the 30,000 shares reserved stock only is now being sold for additional working Capital* at the subscription price of two dollars per share. It can be had by applying at the office of the Company, No. 400 CHESTNUT Street, up stairs, room No. 16. and at the counting-house of the President, No* 504 MARKET Street. __ fbbsidkxt: F, PAXSON, No* SC4 Market street. __ TREASURER;- A.
