People . / Northwest must not lose
sight of other oil bearing territory when
the United States Fuel Oil company
speak Of Spindletop and their guaran-
teed wells in block 49, Keith-Ward tract,
and elsewhere. The shareholder and
public must not overlook the many out
side holdings which this company pro-
pose to develop as we'll 1t is hard to
get all the information before the people,
and shareholders, that we receive We
have tried to be as encouraging as pos
sible, and yet do not believe in gushing"
information without any facts connect
ed with it. 1t is a fact that the big
Four" well at High Island is capped. We
are irlormed that oil is struck in paying
quantities there, though we cannot es-
tablish this fact, but there are five new
wells going down on High Island, two Of
them IN operation and three new derricks
about completed. one of the wells IS
within SO feet of our property; another
within 800 feet; also another within 1,OO0
yards. These wells are being put down
by large companles-Capt. Lucas, Capt.
Cade and the Guffy oil crowd. Does it
not seem strange that IL there was no
OIL at High Island that these people
should go to the expense of putting down
other wells without some knowledge Of
the formation they were into? You have
the information as we have it, but these
are facts.
1t Is also reported that a genuine gush-
er has been brought in at Kaiser mound,
Alvin, Texas. We are in receipt Of a
copy of a telegrom from o. s. Cummings,
of the Bank of Alvin, to B. r. Hicks
president of the Greater New York Home
Oil company, which reads as follows:
alvin, Texas, Jan. y, 1902.
B. r. Hicks, Aldrich Court Bldg, As
Broadway, New York.
We brought in genuine gusher Kaiser
mound today, spouting above derrick"

The United States Fuel Oil company
is interested, and o1,ns property in fee,
both High island and Alvin, and controls
$3.50 acres in Montana oil fields,and at the
the first sure sign of a gusher near this
Company's ground in either locality, it
is the purpose of this Company to Inn
mediately put down new wells. Remem-
Der that every shareholder in this Com
pany is entitled to an interest in any
thing that comes off hearafter, In all
new wells that may hereafter be drilled,
all new grounds that may hereafter be
acquired No matter what anybody says
about the United States Fuel Oil Com
pany, it has been long enough before the
people to show sincerity of purpose, to
show the shareholders where the money
is going, and it shows improvement, 1t
shows new holdings, new contracts; 1t
is Endorsed by the best people, banks
and largest oil companies in the south,
and what the curbstone, half-fed agent
of some other company says about us
is of little consequence. There was a
time in the beginning that it hurt and
delayed our progress, but we started
right, we have worked hard and faIthruH
el,1 -
our Company, or our holdings, and we
challenge all other companies to show
the assets, the amount Of property in
fee, according to the capitalization, that
the United States Fuel Oil Company pos
sesses. 1t is only a short time now
when the stock of the United States
Fuel Oil Company will be entirely OFF
the market 1t will be a shorter time
when the stock will be advanced to rs
cents a share, then upward to the dollar
mark, as predicted long ago. If you
have not purchased your stock you had
better to co so at nee; you ay send In
your money some morning and 1T will
be returned to you. We can sell only
the amount we have on hand; there is a
limit to the treasury stock, and that
limit IS closer at hand than you have
any idea. When the last share is sold
it will be impossible to fill an order.
Can you afford to miss a life pension,
an income or a great amount of money
for the chance of losing little, and
with our guaranteed proposition of oil,
pipe line facilities, transportation, etc,
is not that chance reduced to almost a
certainty? 1T rs HARD TO ESTAB-
LIsH FACTS IN STUBBORN MINDS.
