have tried to be as encouraging as pos
sib1e, and yet do not believe in ''gushing'
information without any facts connect
ed with it. It Is fact that the "BiS
Four we'll at High Island is capped. We
are informed 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 500 feet; also another within 1,v00
yards. These wells are being put down
by large companies-Capt. Lucas, Capt.
Cade and the Guffy oil crowd. Does it
not seem strange that if there was 10
OF. 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 genuine gush
err has been brought in at Kaiser mound,
Alvin, Texas. We are in receipt of &
copy of a telegrom from O. S. Cummings,

and are not ashamed of our progress,
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. It Is only a short time now
when the stock of the United States
Fuel Oil Company will be entirely of
the market. It, will be a shorter time
when the stock will be advanced to %
cents share, then upward to the dollar
mark, as predicted long ago. If you
have not purchased your stock you had
better to do so at once; you lay send in
your money some morning and it will
be returned to you. We can sell only
the amount we have on hand; there is
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 life pension,
an income or great amount OF money

with our guaranteed proposition of OIL,
pipe line facilities, transportation, ETC.,
is not that chance reduced to almost
certainty? IT IS HARD TO ESTAB-

know about this until it Is In; then It
