time only, for the purpose of boring
one we'll on the company's tract of
$40 acres in the Midway District
and one we'll on the company's tract
in the Carisso District. The right is
reserved to advance the price on the
stock at any time.
In order to give reasonable notice
to parties who have had the stock
under consideration /at 15c PER
SHARE sales will be made at that
figure until 10 p. m, SATURDAY,
JUNE 1st.
The advance in price notified above
is insisted upon by the management
in California in consequence of the
remarkable developments on prop
erty adjoining that belonging to the
company in the Midway District and
the attendant extraordinary ad-
vance in the value of the company's
oil lands and all oil lands in that
vicinity. AS to the great market
value of this property and the other
extensive holdings of the company
in San Diego county, we refer by
permission to the PRESIDENT OF
11Ac o4sSnoW w "A DAMN AN ~
TRUST COMPANY OF LOS AN
GELES, Cal. Concurrent informa-
tion can also be obtained from banks
and bankers genrally in the towns of
Sunset, McKittrick and Midway,
Kern County, Cal. The values of
lands in that oil district, where the
excitement is now greater than any
where else in California, are daily
advancing and are within the
knowledge of every business man in
the vicinity. The excitement there
is intense, Railway extensions are
being rushed, pipe lines hastily con-
structed, oil refneries built and
everything foreshadows an immense
output of high grade oil in this dis
trict and an advance in the value of
lands to many thousands of dollars
per acre.
The Broadway Bank and Trust
company will also certify to the high
character and ability of the COM
pany's directors and managers in
California. This stock is certain to
advance very rapidly in price, It
is the most meritorious oil invest
ment now before the public. It will
be big winner for all who buy.

girls were just as curious as could be.

how he got those funny marks on his
arms and shoulders. Charlie looked
at Gilroy, Gilroy nodded, and the boys
owned up.

planned Charlie. You showed me your
wrists where the pattern OF your
waist had been burned on them, and
