GABFIELD'S "ILE" SPC.

Tte Departed Hopes of Luckless Speculators Embalmed in Pe- . - -7 trolewa, Who Wasted Their Substance on Gaifield'i ...Indorsement of a Huge Oil Scheme. Complete History of the Birth, Growth, ami ' Death of the Venango and Vir, , , , ' ' . ' ginia Oil Company. . ', ä "Chicago Times, July IT. The facts of Garfield's operations in oil more -than bear oat the crude statement presented, ytateiday. -in. all important details, though the error was made in the original recital of the locating the territory La Ohio Instead of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, a trivial mistake which hat been magnified into one of great importance. For several daya t Times emissary has ' been on the trail of Rev. Jonathan C. Stonhgton, of Aurora, who was supposed to know all about the wrong deal, -but that gentlemen could not be run dorn until yesterday. . 'I was reminded," the reverend gentleman began, by way of preface, "by this talk about Hancock having been engaged In a doubtful oil speculation, that lhad beea bitten myself once upon a time. The circumstances had entirely escaped my recol lection, and I should probably never have thonrht of them again had it not been for for tbeee recent publications. , On thinking the matter over it suddenly occurred to me that had been induced to invest through the representations of General James A, Garfield." ' "How was it?" interposed the reporter. "As near as I can recollect it occurred about thi3 way z 'Sometime in tbe summer or fall of 1SC5. 1 think it was, I was invited by General H. N. Eldridge, an old friend of mine, to go, with him and make a call on General . Garfield, who was stopping at the Sherman Ho use for 'the time Dein?. I do cot know that the purpose of the visit was mentioned, but I bad no sooner been introduced to General Garfield than this oil project was brought up. I was a williog listener and the General proceeded to unfold his plans." He discoursed eloquently upon the art and science of boring for oil, and gave an elaborate essay on the geological peculiarities of oil bearing rocks." "What did he tay on that point?" "O. well, I can't begin to repeat all that ho said, but he was particular to imprest upon me the fact that theee rocks were thrown up by some sort of volcanic action into J -1 r i ?A 'HOG kack,' and that a hole bored through the tog beck' is sure to strike oil. This porcine protuberance on the fair faoe of nature, he said, extended in a northeasterly and southwesterly direction through Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. ? "Then he drifted Into a description of the property be represented, and when he had concluded his talk I know I was firmly impressed with the conviction that the land fce was interested in selling was situated on the topmost point of the loftiest elevation on the 'hog back' he had depicted so graphically. He represented to me that there wa8 already onk flowing well os the Property, and that others would be sure to come as soon as ever time was given to puncture tbe earth In- the vicinity. He furtner informed me that the company he proposed to organize, ox was assisting in organizing, would be conducted on strictly business principles, and that J. V. Farwell would take the Presidency of the corpora' ion in order to make assurance in this regard donbly sure. 'I was delighted with the project, and subscribed twenty-five shares on the spot. It was a small amount, but as I was not rich I could not afford to dip in deeper. I was rejoiced at the good fortune in store for me, and went home . and told my friends about it. I recounted what Garfield had told me, and this proved sufficient to induce several of my neighbors to take stock E. A. Bradly, Cashier of the First National Bank of Aurora, Dr."Bnck and others. " I paid $75 for my stock, and Mr. Bradley sent $200 to headquarters by me. In due time my certificate of stock came to hand. . I looked at it, and, to my astonishment, saw that tei iTAira or johjt v. tarweij. did kot afpkab ! 84 President This cooled my .ardor, and I lest a percentage of my faith in the Com- ' panr from that moment. I made haste to acquaint those of friend who had invested - on my recommendation of ray discovery, ' and tbia m fortunately aulncient to prell vent them from paying for tbe stock they ' bad taken. -Nona of the Aurora subscribers '- were out anything,; excepting Mr. Bradley indmyall." - ,Yoa have not yet told what became of ' your oil Company.!.'.J . - r was coming to taat. -1 used to drop In ! to see Colonel Hubbard, the Secretary of the Company, every time I came to ihe city, and inquire how things were going on. I was assured that there was nothing to report, and after awhile I quit coming. 1 was never able , to learn aaythicg about the operationsof the Company througb its officers. I once wrote. to Garfield about it, but ia the press of business he probably overlooked my letter. In any event, -I BIT IB RECEIVED A REPLY. "I piled my certificate of stock among my other papers, and here it is, just aa good as t It waa the day I bought and pJd for it." ' Suiting the action to tbe word, the E9V. Stoughton drew - from the recesses of his . duster the doc um er t. It proved to be a rec- - taDgular fragment of bank note paper of inferior quality, about ten by seven inches, with a lively picture in the center represent- ' inga scene in the oil region. On the placid : bosom of a etreacn floated several flatboats laden with barrels, and in tbe background could I be seen a number of derricks, suggestive of wells, rrom wnose gapmg mourns nowsa ceaseless - streams of 1 illuminating i fluid. m w 1-111- - . I. 1 - Areea, ana moi, iuu uiu wer vuruwu in to complete the picture, and above it all were the words, printed In bold type: - "THE VEMAJfGO AJSD VIBGI5IA OIL COM PAST OF - ' .- CHICAGO, ILLW01S." At the side were the legends, "Capital stock, 2 500.000." Sharea. tlO each." Beneath was the following: This certifies that J. C. B tough ton . la the owner of twenty-nve shares of the capital stock of the Venango and Virginia Oil Company of Chicago, which is transferable only on the books of tbe Company at their oilioe, by htm or hl attorney, on the surrender of the certificate. In witneas whereof I have hereunto sub. ' scribed my name and ceased th seal of the Company to be jiitlxed at Chicago, Ulla day of Kptember. A. D. lKöi, Charles Randolph, Vioe President. G.S.llrEBARi, Js., Beere l&ry. A twenty-five cent revenue stamp on the jower left hand corner of the certl Ecate was the traly evidence that it ever represented value, and M&f- S ton eh ton Intimated that were it not for the association he would consider twenty-five cents a high price for the paper. 'He - cheerfully, loaned it to the reporter . ... Iiev. Mr.'Stoughton's story was clear ao far as it went, but there ware other details neo - essary to maze it complete; to rouna it out, as it were, and, in company with the Aurora gentleman, the reporter called on j COLOSEL O. 8. HTBBARD, whoa name figured aa Secretary of the Company. The pair presented themselves at

Colonel Habbaid'a office, lSo 125 Dearborn street. . - - "Did you sea the Times this morning?" blandly asked the reverend visitor. .."Yes?" xesponded the Colonel, Inquiringly. . "What do you know about Garfield and his oil speculation T "Nothing worth knowing, and I wish I could forget what I do know about It. " "I am a stockholder, you know," continued Mr. 8... "and I thought perhaps you might tell me something about it." " The Colonel at this point recognized his visitor, who, together with the Times man, accepted an invitation to be seated. Tbe clerical interviewer then opened his batteries with all the skill of a trained hand, and drew from Colonel Hubbsrd the statement that he was sorry indeed to see this matter brought up, for tbe reason that it could da no one any possible good, but might work great harm. Mr. Stoughton could not set what barm could come from a truthful statement cf facts if , no wrong had been done. If, on tbe contrary, a wrong had been done, the truth should be made known thai the guilt - might, be exposed. Colonel Hubbard said the worst that could be said about it was that it was a very unfortunate speculation, and that everybody concerned had lost money. "Everybody ?w ' I think so. I know cf nobody who made anjthiDg out of it." "How came Garfield to be interested In the formation of this Company, do you

know. " 4,It was chiefly through Garfield that the Company came to be formed. He was in troducadto me by General E.dridge, who is his old college chum, I understand, and if I remember correctly Eldridge introduced him to his friends and aided in workir.g np the scheme. After the Company was estab lished I was employed to place the stock, and it was nearly all sold by me." "What did you receive for the stock in all?" "About $G25,C00, if my recollection serves me right." What was the condition of the property held by the Company at the time the stock was nut on the market?" "There was one flowing well, the Coquette, in which we had an eighth interest, and the remainder waa in 1,460 acres of undeveloped oil lands In Pennsylvania and West Virginia. A Committee, consisting of A. C. Badger, Thomas C. Dickereon and IL N. Eldridge, made . an examination of the property, and it was upon the report submitted on their return that tbe Company was organized and set going. This flowing well was one of the most remarkable wells of the time, but unfortunately it did not hold out. It stopped flowing soon after the deed for our interest passed into our hands, and then the pumps were put to work, but it did not pay to pump loDg, and it Boon dried up. Tbe wells put down on neighboring tracts tapped tbe same reservoir and soon exhausted it." "Who were Interested in the Company?" "Among our capitalists there were such men as Charles Randolph, Mablon D. Ogden, S. J; Wslker, A. C. Badger, J, Y. Scammon, Alfred Cowles, of the Tribune, W. H. Rand, General Eldridge. J. V. Farwell, and many others, bebides Thomas W. Phillips, of Pennsylvania, D. H. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, and John Bark, of Detroit, tbe last three named representing the property which waa taken by the Company." "What did these men get for their oil lands?" ' "They turned in the Coquette well at $200,000, 1 believe.". "What was done In the way of developing the lands in the Company's possession?" "Eight or nine wells were sunk at a large expense, and all of the capital set apart for that purpose was expended." "All the money raised on tbe sale of stock was not devoted to. the development of the property, then, am I to understand?" "Oh, no. . Much of it went to pay fo the property turned by Phillips and others." ' No. What we want to get at," interjected the reporter, emerging from the seclu sion cf silence, through, a fear that a point was going to slip away, ' is this: - How much of the $G25.000 was actually expended in sinking those eight or nine . dry holes, and what became of the balance?" ' "Are you a reporter?" asked Colonel Hubbard. "I am," confessed the reporter. 1 The Colonel's countenance took on an expression of deep disgust, as he said, "What paper?1 -'' . ' "The Times.'" ' ' ' . "Are you In " the employ ' of the Times, too? ' he said, turning a withering glance upon Key. Mr. Stoughton. : ' : Ilsr. Mr. S. beamed on the military real estate agent, and observed that be was not, but being somewhat interested be had called with the reporter to learn the true inwardness of affairs. ' "As you are a reporter," eaid the Colonel, turning to tha Timea missionary, "! nauat decline answering your question." -x VHbw came it that J. V. Farwell was not made President of the Company after the repreeentationa that were made of Garfield and othero?" asked the Aurora man. "I prefer not to go into the details of that. Suffice it to ray that Mr. Farwell withdrew bis tubsoription and declined to take tbe Presidency. He subEcribcd $50,000 in Btock originally." - . From this point the conversation dragged, and the visitors took their leave In a few moments.' Subsequently the reporter made another call on the gentleman and resumed the talk. VI don't think I clearly understood your explanation in regard to that $625 000. Would you object to going into details more fully? ' "No, sir; what do you want to know?" "Can you tell me. then, how much of that amount was subscribed by Cnicago capitaliatsr , "Not sccurately, tut I can state that out of the 2-70.000 aharee, Philipe, Wallace, Bark and the other owners took 170,000 shares. Tbe remainder was mostly taken here." ' "Did not our people take more than 80,000 shares?" "Not then." "Did they subsequently ?"' "Pbelieve there was some trading .done afterward, though to what extent I am not advised." . ' ' "What became of the money realized from the sale of stock?" "It went to pay for the land." "I was mistaken, then, when I understood you to say that they turned in their property at $200,000, and took stock in payment?" "You were. All the money received, exceptirg about $40,000 or $50,000 used In putting down those eight or nine nonproductive wells, waa paid over to the original owners." "You are not able to state, then, how muoh Chicago money really went into that speculation ?" . , ' . i "No. I sm not. Garfield's subscription was $10 000 no, I can't state." The Colonel gave a great gulp when he let out the remark about Garfield, and he tried to alar it over, but it was too late. "Was it $10,000 or 10,000 shares," queried the reporter. " "It was $1 0 OOO-'-equivalent to 3.500 shares at the rate subscribers paid for them at that time." w . .. -'" ' V . "Have you any record that Garfield "ever paid $10 .000 for his 3,500 shares?" "No, sir. He was one of the original owners with Philips and Wallace. I think. A t any rate, none of Garfield's money passed through my hands." The next man interviewed on this very interesting subject was - , j . """"" ""R. CHARLES BARDOLPU, ' Secretary of the Board of Trade and Vice President Of the defunct V. and V. O.l Con- 4 pany. Mr. Randolph gave his story straight from the shoulder aa folio we: "In the summer or fall ot 1805 I was in

troduced to General James A. Garfield and ThomssW. Philips. The farmer then, as now. enjoyed.' a national reputation, and Mr. Philips was known at a daring and auc cessful oil operator of high character, who bad accumulated millions in his business. I don't remember how or by whom these gentlemen were introduced, but following this introduction a meeting of our capitalists to bear Mr. Pblllps explain a project to form an O'l Company was suggested. A dczn or so cf our people met and listened to Mr. P., who represented that he had an . eighth interest in tbe famous Oquette well at Pitthole, VensDgo County, Pennsylvania, and a tract of land aggregating about 1,800 acress, which he wanted to Bell to a Company and take stock In part payment, .A Committee of reputable gentlemen went on, spent three weeks examining the property, and came back with an indorsement of the icherne. They did not thick very bigiily of the West Virginia lands, but they were much pleased with tbe Coquette well, and claimed that It alone might be worth the amount that Philips asked for his whole property. This well waa flowing from 1.200 to 1 500 barrels daily at that time, and was yielding dividends of-from 2 to 4 percent, on the entire capital. Here was something tangible, and we took hold." A good many of us took stock and paid for lt. I put in about $4 000 myself. Oar working capital became exhausted after putting down a few holes that produced nothing, and one day oar fhwing well stopped Ibwing. Then we quit." GKXERAL ELDRincK was attacked in due time. He was in a great rush, but late in tbe afternoon found timw to unburden his sout to a knot of reporters who had assembled to assume th6 load. He enjoined them for God's cake to either write bis name Mr. Eldridge or General Eldridge. No Colonel in mice if you please. . Tbe General was exceedingly voluble and much given to reminiscences and poetio flights right in the midst of interesting paso&ges. Nothing could head him off. Boiled down his statement ia to this effect: "Sometime after trie war, in the summer of 18G5 I think it was, when the oil fever was at its height, who should come into my office but J. A. Garfield. Garfield talked to me about the uncertainty of political existence and spoke about entering into partnership with me in the practice of law. He dwelt on his poverty and circumscribed condition and the trouble he had in getting along, and from that drifted into a discussion of the chances of making money in oil speculation. He discoursed on this subject as any Leaiiville enthusiast would have done about the gold and silver mines a year ago. I bad been imbued with the oil fever before this. Several of my clients had made large fortunes in oil. I was ready to make some myself. Garfield told me ot several of bis friends who had made ' large fortunes and were ' tbe owners of several successful wells, who were willing, and, fh fact, anxious, to interebt Chicago capital in their ventures. He then spoke of T. W. Pmlips, who was then introduced to my notice. Amocg my acquaintances were such men as C. B. Farwell, L. Z. Leiter, S 8 Hayes, and a score of others. I introduced Garfield to these gentlemen by hia desire and at my suggestiou." The General professed hta utter inability to ett'mate the amount of Chicago cash sunk in the Garfield hog-back, but stated that tbe late S. 8. Hsyes waa the heaviest loser, haviLg put three business blocks into It, As the party passeddown stairs the Times man drew tbe General to one side and asked him confidentially if he didn't think Garfield and Philips treated bim in a shabby manner when they went off with those gripsacks lull of cash without reimbursing him for the motey expended. "You won't give me awsy, now?" "Of course." "Well, now. I never rei Uzed until tbe morning of July 1G, 18i0, what they bad done. I was thinking over it to-day, and I came to the conclusion they acted like " "How much did they have in those gripe?" "I could not gueäs within $30,000. , X GOOU IDEA. , j . , ... -. 1 . . .
