explanation.

On Friday, January iMh, I called at the general offices OF the Pullman Com
pany in Chicago, and made known to the Assistant to the Voe-President my de-
sire to charter, o. behalf Of the Kng-Crowther Corporation, two fst-cas private
cars for two weeks, beginning between February Sth and February 18TH These
al it vas explained, we desired for the us Of a special newspaper party whom
70 we're arranging to carry o a tour Of inspection to VI vast oil fields located in
Southern Texas.
Tho courteous gentleman in charge Of the chartering and leasing Of private
cars for the Pullman Company explained o me that, practically speaking, all their
best cas we're in continuous services at this season Of the year, but was given abso-
lue assurance that our party would be properly cared for and that they would
figure out som way to accommodate us with the necessary oasa at the time indi-
Gated.
Having had satisfactory dealings with the Pullman Company heretofore, simply
permitted the matter to rest in that manner, believing, Of COURSE that W o would
not be disappointed. 1t appears now, however, that the Pullman people find it
impossible etc furnish US with proper ar accommodations at the time agreed upon.
and we are therefore, O. that account, forced to postpone the important trip to
the scene Of our operations. announced two weeks ago. until early in April.
I print the telegraphic correspondence which has passed between this omoe
and the Pullman Company during the past few days with this explanation, and
the further statement that as it is now up to the Pullman Company, the small army
OF newspaper correspondents and artists who have been booked for this trip may
rest assured that the Pullman Company will see % it that n party ever travelled
mid more luxurious surroundings than will be afforded this party when the tour
Is begun at the tim o indicated by the Pullman Company.
In the meantime, all persons DESTROYS oil viewing a soene Of Twentieth Century
development are assured a cordial welcome al the tented city Of Crowther, Texas,
now, or at any future time The gates swing ahr o visitors from all parts of the
country. c.. F. KING, President.

A prominent New Yorker said this-and proved that he meant il
by buying a large block of the stock. The people who know most
about the proposition are the ones most anxious to own a part of it.
That is the strongest possible recommendation. The titles to all the
properties have been confirmed by the highest courts. The Gold
Quartz Minearea is about 100 acres. upon which no work has yet been
done. The Gold Placer Mine area is $40 acres, upon less than ten per
cent. of which has any work been done. Although crudely worked
with limited facilities, this exceedingly small proportion has yielded

NOT DEALING IN FUTURES.
Actual Sales OF OIL from Producing
Wells Pay the Dividends.

You are not dealing in futures
when you invest money in Eastern
Consolidated Oil stock-you are
d dealing in present conditions that
more than warrant the payment
of dividends as advertised by the
company on every investment. .
This company has long passed
the milestone OF mere experimen mt
and prospecting. Ii Is not merely
expecting to own a large number Of
producing oil wells. but it owns
them now. It's wells are not on
paper, but are sunk deep down into
Mother Earth, and have reached
the apparently inexhaustible sup
plies Of the worlds greatest oil
fields. As an investment pure and
simple it is one of the most reliable
as well as the most remunerative in
the whole range Of oil stocks.
