SUBSgBiPTIOH P81C8.—............. . Tlie valuable OU territory of. this Company Is located on the Kan awii a river, Gilmore county, West Virginia, BomO'distance above its confluence with the Ohio at Psriwmbarg (the. terminus of the Baltimore and- Ohio , Railroad),. and lies directly unon and in a-direction, across the-great GUBelfc” of thisregioß (as may be *eeayj)p.on the map)i is the Immediate vicinity of th» wonderful ‘‘Burning Springs,’^now regarded as a anreindication of the presence of oil, from the fact that it ts- tne oilga* that rises to the surface and barns upon the water. This property consists of an area of 1, 185 acres of magnificent oU and mineral lands, of which the Company owns an undivided half interest in fee elm ple»extebdicg.}2£ miles on the Kanawha river, which is navigable to the Ohio.. Other streams, tributaries of the-jXaoawha, traverse this tract, presenting alongtheir margins every surface indication of a rich yield of oiL holds the right to pnt down wells all over this extensive boring surface, and oil has already been discovered on this property, near the river, at the depth of Safest. The sinking of two wells to the depih of 800 feet, ir necessary, was provided for in the purchase of the land, ail of which is paid for without touching the woffling-or reserved capital of the Company. In add!-’ tion to-tnis* the Company owns an important interest (aleo.paid for)in a well located within 400 yards of the great Lewelly n well, which has flowed 2,600 barrels per day, and is directly among the celebrated Rathbone group (see map). These are, it is said, the greatest pro ducing wells in the country. The former owners of this well were forced 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 -ori suty 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 East eating every facility for rapidly developing the oil, own property both timber ana coal in great abundance, and in also having the resident Su perintendent of the worhs, 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 toon to find their shares ranking with the nest 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 being called upon lor 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 the capital stock will be declared. The remaining portion of the 2D,000 shares reserved stock only is now being sold for additional working capital, at the subscription price of two dollars per share.
