1t will require another million to pro-
vide pipe lines and tankage, and a
quarter of million for other expenses
before fuel oil markets have been open
ed up. This calculation is close. and
it wouldn't surprise me if more money
should be required before dividend
paying time came around. Now, if
the gushers would only continue to
gush as they are now doing every
thing would be lovely for the owners,
but they won't do it, and sooner or lat
er the pumps will have to be applied.
Even then it will be impossible to pay
interest on the investment of the big
companies, but what will the little fell
lows do? Most OF the other companies
are capitalized from 100000 to ST.
100000; their stock is sold off away
below par and when the promoters get
through with the treasury funds but
little is left for real development pur-
poses
Suppose these companies should
strike oil, and the flow should average
say from 100 to 200 barrels day which
is big well as wells go, what could
they do with the product? The big
gushers will, even after the pumps are
applied, supply all the fuel oil for
which there is market for many years
to come, for it will be long time be-
fore coal will be generally suppIanted.
The gusher companies will be amply
provided with pipe lines and tankage
and the smaller companies will be com
pletely at their mercy, even granting
that some one big concern does not
come in and secure control
"Of course, all these companies will
not strike oil; in fact, the average of
success in other fields has been about
one in ten. Consequently large per-
centage of the companies are already
doomed, so far as the investor is con
cerned. The promoter has already
realized. 1t makes little difference
how honest the officials of the compan-
les may be, for the principle is wrong.
There's too much wind and hot air
sold for gold to ever make it come out
right.
Its swindle, and that's all there
| is to it. The oil is here and money is
to be made. but the small investor is
not being given a ghost of show

A lack Of capital to successfully oper-

stockholders sell out. The plant is a
good one and with large amount of
capital could make it pay.
