THE CONTINENTAL OIL co.
Their Guaranteed Six Inch 0usher
Down 500 Feet on March 75th-3
Gushers Within as Feet OF this

Buy now or you will be too late"
That is the admonition given BY the
Continental Oil Company, of Calves
ton, Texas, whose inch guaranteed
.uskcr is now down below tho 500
foot level. There are 3 gushers
within % feet and success is assured.
In the mean time the Continental
Oil Company have an arrangement
with the the Pipeline which will con-
vey their product to the loading
racks by which they can borrow all
the oil they require for filling orders,
to be returned when their gusher is
finished. So they do not have to wait
until it is brought in to fill orders.
The advantage OF this to stockholders
is self-evident.
Continental Oil stock is 10 cents
per share, fully paid and non-assess-
able. Only small portion of the al
lotment of stock is still unsoId and
those who wish to buy should be
quick about it. The Continental peo-
pie make fair proposition, superior
to other companies for the reason
that they will sell much less stock,
and stop after they have sufficient to
complete developments, and devote
their time to the sale Of OIL
Buyers of 250 shares or more are
allowed TO deposit the money in their
local bank, to remain until the gusher
is in and then RENTED to the Com
pany. Should they fail the money
will be returned. Buyers of less than
250 shares get the same stock but
send their money direct to the Com
pany.
And still fairer this proposition is
made: free round trip ticket to
Beaumont and Galveston and return
will be given to any number of inves-
tors who will deposit $500 in their
bank to be paid the Continental Oil
Compay for stock, after any one Of
their number has visited the field,
investigated the situation and found
conditions as represented, otherwise
the money to be returned to subscri-
bers
The Continental Oil Company is
incorporated under the laws of Texas
for $3.50, 900. Par value of shares 10
cents. They have 10 acres at Beau
mont, 5 at Sour Lake, with more
land at Damon's Mound aud High

ncClure'S for April.

Besides a capital assortment OF tic-
ton McClure's Magazine for April
contains four articles Of exceptional
Interest, one Of which is of very pres
ent Importance, This is Tho Over
worked President" by Lincoln Stef-
fens. In form a straightforward mar
rative Of day passed at the White
House, it is telling arraignment Of
the system that subjects great part
Of the Presidents working day to a
ccsseless harrassnent OF trivial in
terruptions, and il should materially
influence public opinion TO support
the reforms which are already con-
tsmplated in Washington.
just ~ timely is Henry Herbert
NcClurs's "Messages from Mid
Ocean," the story of Marconi's latest
triumph. The writer of the article
is a personal friend Of the inventor,
and tells in Marconi's own words
many facts heretofore unpublished
about the remarkable series Of
messages received on the "Philadel-
phian on her now famous voyage.
OF quite unique interest is Captain
w. A. Prentice's description of life
"On the Dry Tortugas," where, at the
close of the Civil War, were confined
the Union soldiers sentenced for de-
sertion and breaches of discipline,
and Of which garrison Captain Prem
tice was in command. Hither also
were sent the notorious "Lincoln
Conspirators, Of whom the article
has naturally much Of historical value
to tell.
McClurc's still keeps up the aston
ishing pace it set at the beginning of
the year.
