A bold man of the hills. mine

Florence two years ago and turned in
to company of his formation an
acreage acquired in his youth, before
petroleum was found there. His com
pany struck oil and has been striking
it since with some frequency, and is
prepared today to pay dividend.
His success attracted others and today
there are two score men of Victor and
Cripple Creel who own or lease blocks
of ground on which they have struck
oil and are reaping rewards. while
others are entering and more are pre-

make but that they may have other
