SCBSORIPTIOB PEICE...—™ ........ The valuable Oil territory of this Company is locati on the Kanawha river, Gilmore county. West Virginia, some distance above, its confluencewlth the Ohio at Parkersburg (the terminus of the Baltimore 'and Ohio Ballrosd),. and lies direetiy upon, and is a direction across tee great ‘ 1 Oil Belt' 1 of this region (as maybe seen upon the map), in the immediate vicinity of the wonderful "Burning. Springe,” now regarded as a sure indication of the presence of oil, from the fact that it is the oil gas that rises to the surface and hums upon the water. This property consists of au area of 1,155 acres of magnificent oil and mineral lands, of which the Company owns an undivided half interest in fee sim ple, extending!)! miles on the Kanawha river, which Is navigable to the Ohio. Other streams, tributaries of tbe Kanawha, traverse this tract, presenting along their margins every surface indication of a rich yield of oil. The Company holds the right io put down wells all over this extensive boring surface, and oil has already been discovered on this property, near the river, at the depth of 36 feet. The sinking of two wells to the depth of 800 feet, if necessary* was provided form the purchase of the land, all of which is paid for without touching the working or reserved capital of the Gompany. In addi tion to this, the Company owns. an important interest (also paid for) in a well located within 400 yards of the Sre&tXewellyn well, which has flowed 2,500 barrels per ay, and is directly among the celebrated Bathbone froup (see map). These are, it is said, the greatest pro ncisg wells in the country. The former owners of this well were freed to abandon it on the breaking out of the rebellion, but tbe Gompany has now made ar rangements to reopen and tube it, when a large yield of oil may reasonably be expected from this source alone. In addition lathe aboveaescribed properties, the Com pany owns in fee simple* some 400 acres of mineral lands in Pennsylvania. This Gompany is most fortunate in pos* earing every facility for rapidly developing the oil, having on its own. property both timber and coal in great abundance, and in also having the resident Su perintendent of: the works, Hr. T. Gh 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 uisn to And their shares ranking with the beet dividend-paving 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 being called upon for additional means to carry on the operations of tbe Company,but on the contrary, as soon as oil shall be obtained In sufficient quantities, a dividend on tbe capital stock will be declared. The remaining portion of the 20,000 shares reserved stock only is now being sold for additional working capital, at the subscription price of two dollars per share.

Standing Stone Greek (a branch of the Little Kanawha river), and its tributaries pass through this property., and it has npon it a larger amount of boring territory than is ownedby any other company in West Yirginia. - Itis situatedin Wirt county, near the celebrated Bathbone or Burning Spring tract, and in extent of territory is five times greater, and is considered by all experienced oil men familiar with the oil district of West Virginia quite equal, if not superior, to the Bathbone tract. The Standing Stone Oil Company’s property extends from the Little Kanawha river, near Buraing Spring, Bun, across the waters of Standing Stone. Creek, including a portion of Bobinson’s Fork and Two Riffle Bun, and is immediately in the Great Oil Break, extending from Burning Spring through by Standing Stone and Petro leum to Horse Keck Wells, near the Ohio river, and embraceetbellne of upheaval.
