Refuse erltish-eerman Aid.

Lisbon, Jan. GA semi-official note
to the press, regarding the Anglo-Ger-
man agreement, has just been issued
1t is as follows:
"The British and German govern
ments, having previously reached an
agreement between themselves, have
informed Portugal that in the event
of her contracting a large loan for
the purpose of recognizing her finan-
ces, the two governments were dis
posed to guarantee the success of the
operation. At the same time the gcv-
ernments of Great Britain and Ger
many assured Portugal that the basis
of the agreement between them was
the recognition of the integrity of
Portuguese sovereignty over Portu-
guese possessions. They further sug-
gested that in the event of Portugal
accepting the proposal concerning the
loan, the latter should be guaranteed
by colonial and customs receipts.
The Portuguese government then de
clared it had no need of such a loan
and according to our information has
no such need to the present day"

A GOOD PLAN.


The California Consolidated
Petroleum Company has issued
o folder concisely setting forth
its objects, which is the prettiest
piece of printing yet seen in con-
nection with the oil industry, and
it is well worth reading and pass
ing around.
The plans of this company are
more extensive than those of the
ordinary oil company, in that
they insure to the holders of it's
stock, profits in all the oil fields
of the State, as it owns large
holdings in all the fields. 1t owns
the only hydraulic rotary drilling
rigs ever brought to California
and will lead all others in the de-
velopment of oil. 1t will keep
twenty drilling rigs in operation
in twenty fields between Oakland
and San Diego. On the first
strike of oil it's directors are con-
fident it's stock will jump above
par value, as it has other sources
of revenue to raise values. One
of these is royalties it owns on
5000 acres leased to capitalists
for development.
Still further, the California
Consolidated Petroleum Com
pany has in it's treasury 2, 500, 900
shares of the stock of fifty of the
leading oil companies of the
State.
This plan gives the stockhold-
ers an interest in the earnings of
all the different fields. From the
view point of the investor this
plan affords the surest, safest
opportunity for profit it is pos
sible to adopt.
1t is confidently expected that
by July 16, next, all stock offered
at so cents per share will be sub
scribed for, and the price raised
to $1.00 per share. AS set forth
in the advertisement, which ap.
pears in this issue, the Com
pany's stock is absolutely non
assessable, there being no per-
sonal liability to the stockholder.
This insures square deal and
prevents freezing out of the
small stakeholder.
You will make no mistake in
securing, while you can some of
the stock of the California Con-
solidated Petroleum Company.
This company is the most form
liable rival the Standard Oil
Company has ever encountered,
and having ample capital its sue
cess is assured. 1t does not re-
quire prophet to forsee that it's
tiftycent stock will be worth
several times that amount.
Stock redeemable on demand
at any time within 30 days from
date of certificate. All money
paid in installments refunded on
demand at any time within 80
days from date of first payment.
If you do not want your stock,
send to Company and you will
promptly get every cent of your
money back.
