14 Tuesday, June 10, 1919. EL PASO HERALD GOOD ILLS IN Good Prospects For Oil Flows In New Mexico Eastern Section of State to SUSPECT FIELD. Operators Watching With Sink Many Deep Wells, interest the Living- stone Well. Geologist Says. Dallas, Texas, June Hager, well known geologist of Dallas, brings news here of the oil developing interest in the eastern third of New Mexico.

Hager has just returned from a trip made to the Roswell office of his firm. He brings to Texas word that there will be more than 12 deep tests drilled in eastern New Mexico during the summer months. Hager, as a geologist, has been making 1000 barrels of oil interested in the geological of eastern New Mexico and has traveled over the greater part of the territory east of Las Vegas and on to the southward. Hager believes there is a great opportunity for bringing in oil wells in many parts of the eastern third of New Mexico and has mapped a number of very fine structures in that region. He says that he is expecting the developments to increase in that part of the state.

is my belief there is "now about 10,000,000 acres of land under lease in Tulso, June operators are now watching with interest development in the Livingston Oil well, in section 35-15-11. which is expected daily to come in. This test is an offset to the original well of the Turman Oil company in the same section. The Turman Oil company is in the sand with its No. 6 in section 35-15-11, Beggs district, Okmulgee county.

This well is daily at a depth of 2748 feet. Henry Hornaker and others on the Porter land in section 21-17-14. Leonard district, Tulsa county, have a well doing; 20 barrels at 2000 feet. One of the most interesting tests in the Chelsea district in Rogers county is that drilled by Mallory and in the southwest quarter of section west of the town of Chelsea- ft got the pay at 450 feet and isj making 150 barrels per day. After being connected with a storage tank the well flowed 91 barrels of oil into theithe eastern third of New said tank the first five hours.

Woman Thinks She Talk Enough had gall stones for 14 years atid suffered severely from gas, colic and indigestion. Doctors wanted me to go to the hospital, but I took Wonderful Remedy instead, and am now feeling fine and better than I ever did. I can't talk enough about this It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the Intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including; annendl- citia. One dose will convince cr money refunded. For sale by all Hager," and the value of leases has advanced from 10 cents to 20 cents an acre until they are now selling as high as $5 or more in some sections.

The vicinity of Tucumcari has one test under way and two others are locations with good prospects of being drilled. A deep test is going down in the vicinity of Santa Rosa and sev eral are drilling in the vicinity of Deming, on the Pecos river." A DEEP TEST FOR BROWN; BIG GASSER IS BROUGHT IN Brown Wood, Texas, June deep test will be sunk at an early date by the Big Four Oil Co. in the northwestern part of Brown county, four miles north and one mile west of the Oil States Petroleum company test. The Jewel Oil company brought in a 1,000.000 foot grasser at 860 feet on the A. D.

Neil survey. Location Made on Land Eight Milec North of The City. Gatesville, June port Texas Oil company has a location eight miles north of Gatesville on the C. P. Liljeblad farm in the S.

W. Wybrants survey. Three carloads of casing are on the ground. Work will be started on this test as soon as the derrick, which has been ordered, arrives and is erected. Buckeye Mid Texas Oil company on the G.

A. Strickland ranch in the John Winn survey about 17 miles southwest of Gatesville. has its rig up, but work is delayed pendinsr the arrival of machinery and tools. Keystone Texas Oil company. 11 miles west of Gatesville, on the J.

S. Clark farm, in the G. W. Carlyle survey, is drilling- at 730 feet. Columbia Texas Oil company has derrick ordered and they have two carloads of casing on the location This well is 17 miles south of Gatesville in the William Cornwall survey.

The above four wells are being drilled in Coryell county by Benedum with other Pittsburgh parties. FRANK PICKRE TPLANNING TO DRILL A LOT OF WELLS San Angelo. June T. Piekrell a few days ago was in San Angelo for the purpose of securing sites for the four wells that his company will drill on the university in Crockett, Reagan and Irion counties. Piekrell represents the Texon Oil and Land company, which has filed on 431.360 acres under the Texas mineral rights law of Texas.

He says that It Is the Intention of his company to retain 200,000 acres of this on this acreage it will drill four 'wells, not 1S4 wells, as has been reported over ail the countrv. The drilling on one of the tests will be started within the near future, he stated. CAPITAL, TWO TOTAL ACRES, 10c A SHARE We are Drilling Today at 760 Feet Just Across Road From the Famous Sunshine Hill Property Which is Reported Has Already Paid Back to Thei- Investors $60.00 for Each Dollar Invested. This well is being drilled on oar twenty-acre tract which is located on the elope of famous Sunshine HilL the most prominent property in the entire Electra field. Funds are already in our hands to complete this, well.

All We need is a small amount to complete the drilling fund to develop our wonderful five-acre lease which hs located right In the heart of the big GUSHERS at BURKBURNETT. Our drilling site is within a mile of the wonder well, the great Burk-Waggoner, which has already created probably the greatest sensation that the Twentieth Century has yet experienced. A glance at the map shows quite plainly that we are completely surrounded by either big producing wells or wells now drilling through advices from some of the most prominent geologists in the entire Mid-Continent field. And It would be well for us to state that it has been reported to us this morning that a five-acre iract approximately 1200 feet from this was sold for $6500 per acre and the developers of this lease will receive only one-half of the oil. This means that the five-acre tract was sold for $32,600.

Isn't our acreage worth the same amount? Bear in mind that this five is only one-fifth of our entire acreage and with our capitalization of $45,000, and with our 25 proven acres. We ask you this one question, can we lose? Is it possible? As experienced oil men we say that every indication bears us out in our statement when we asserted that our acreage was practically proven property. This Company Is Not a Derrick For Well Number Two Boilers, Machinery and Fuel Is Already on the tractor Already Has Funds and Is Today Buying Caning. We are not drilling a wildcat. A second glance at the map shows that we are surrounded by the following gushers: The M.

P. Burk, Just recently in. is reported to be making 3,500 barrels flush production. This well is about 1,500 steps directly north of our property. To the east of us is the Golden Cycle, Burk-Waggoner, Thrift, Texas Chief.

King 8, Golconda, Humble wells and dozens of All of these wells came In with production estimated at better than two thousand barrels. The Texas Chief, to the north, is reported making better than five thousand barrels. A well like this pays for itself In from two to four days. United, just north of us, breaks the record, Burk- Waggoncr came in running fifty barrels every fifteen minutes, and Just recently paid back to its stockholders $3,1.00 for every one dollar invested. The Humble Company sells a half Interest for twenty million dollars.

Marine pays everybody back seventeen and a half to one, while the Floydada announces a percent dividend to be paid In twenty-one days. In view of these few facts, and we could recite aozens of others, we ask you point blank, is it fair to yourself to pass up such an investment as we are offering you today? The King Oil Company, who have a small capital like ourselves, have just brought in a wonderful to the east of our five-acre tract and we are Informed that they are tonight being offered $800,000 for their holdings. Can you beat this for quick returns? Were you ever offered such an opportunity before in your life-time? forget for one minuts about the Fowler Oil stock which paid tback one hundred fifty dollars for each dollar invested to its stockholders. From the proceeds from their oil and acreage at Burkburnett, When you invest with us you are placing your funds In the hands of oil operators who will use your money In developing only proven acreage, only proven territory, where the riBk has been practically removed. We absolutely do no wildcat drilling.

Two Dene Wells to Be Money Shares In Profits From All Oil Wells, All Acreage, and Onr Proposed Refinery. Remember, $45,000 capital is very small. We could have made it many times larger. we realized that by giving our stockholders a square deal, giving them quick Action on their money, that we will be able, after oil is encountered, to continue acting as their financial advisors. Oil Is worth two dollars and forty cents per barrel.

It has been estimated by men who claim to know that profits of one dollar a barrel are made through refining. We do not believe that we. would be taking care of our investors' money if we were to allow this additional profit to go to someone else, and for that reason we are contemplating the erection of a two still refinery (five hundred barrels each) so that we may be able to refine and market our own nroduction when oil is encountered. In view of immense production on our leases we have already been in conference with the Aiken Interest of Dallas, who have intimated that $18,000 would be sufficient to construct a plant of this nature. This refinery is one using the late 20th Century process.

None of the funds from the sale of these securities will be used in building this plant. We shall build same only when production warrants it and from a small portion of the profits derived from the sale of our own oil. If one dollar a barrel is a fair profit from refining, then we ask you this question: How many days would it take to build this plant on just the amotmt of money we will savu by refining our own oil? Aside from the oil production this refinery should net us a splendid revenue every thirty days. Man to Msn, Open and Above Board. We are Offering You a Square Deal.

REMEMBER A THREE THOUSAND BARBEL WELL NET to we stockholders with our low capital of $45,000 (at par) means an estimated income of $7,200 per day less the small operating or one hundred per cent every seven days. One hundred per cent every thirty days is an immense dividend, it? Yet the aboveJs facts and figures and bear in mind that the Floy- flada people announce Hundred per cent Dividend to be paid in Twenty- One days. We are drilling two deep, heavy PRODUCTION wells. Not shallow wells, but right in next to the big stuff. Back your Judgment with your dollars, like we are today doing.

Hundreds like us, have Invested in Burkburnett in the past ninety days and have already won big. This looks like the opportunity of your lifetime. BUY TODAY. PUTTING THIS OFF MAY COST YOU A THOUSAND. SIGN THE BLANK.

Licensed Trust El Is Abandoned El Pasoans Fail To Get Oil In Well That Was Once Very Promising. M. Moye. secretary of the Osaple JBurk Oil company, returned Monday from the Burkburnett oil fields, where he investigated his well on the Hardin Marine tract, northwest of Burkburnett in Wichita county. He said a depth of 1703 feet had been attained and Salt water had come in and caving had hampered work.

do not know what we shall said Mr. Moye. are just 302 feet irom the Adams well and we went deeper than the in that. We shall probably call a meeting of to decide what is to be done. We have only one and a quarter acres and it looks to me as if we were just on the edge of the pay and luck was against us, "We have some oil and we struck that at 1679 feet just a month after the day of starting to drill, March 25.

Our prospects were good. W. M. Priddy, a prominent man of that section, and from whom we bought the property, and who is interested with us, suggested a plan to determine where the oil comes in exactly and then fill up to this point, and take the oil from the Thomas M. Mayfield, president of the company, said: have practically a dry hole and we have abandoned it.

A dry, hole was drilled between us and the Adams well and one west of us. so it shows our acre and a quarter about valueless.

I WOULD TELL YOU OF THE WIDOW I sold in Deming, N. one single $30.00 share of Merchants Travelers. I would tell you what a think a man is who will deliberately take one penny from a woman in her circumstances unless HE KNEW POSITIVELY that she would not lose. I think a man who would take this money and lose it for her should be hung. i this is the only company operating in the Southwest offering the public an opportunity to get rich on a small investment, and at the same time an assurance that you lose what you do it in.
