900 ACRES NEAR SUNSET

The Midway Union Oil company,
which was organized a few weeks ago
to operate in the Midway field and
elsewhere, has just acquired 800 acres
of land east of Sunset. The land is in
an undeveloped district but 1t has long
been recognized as prospective terri
tory and a recent geological report by
Ralph Arnold, who is now in the en-
ploy of the company, says there is an
excellent exposure of oil sand about a
mile west of the property which indi-
Gates that the formations are probably
productive under it. adding that he
cosiders the geologic and structural
conditions both favor the presence Of
commercial quantities of petroleum at
reasonable depths under the land.
This property Is in township IL north,
range 90 west and consists of the
southwest quarter of section p and
portion of section 26. The land in sec
ton % Immediately adjoins the well
being sunk on the property OF the
Wheeler-Ba Bancroft Oil company by the

HOW CAN YOU BECOME A PRODUCER9

l know that some men who have ventured in deals
which have not turned out we'll still hesitant
and fearful lest they may make mistake about en-
gaging in the oil business.
But there is sound reason for forming corpora
tions to produce petroleum. One man may not care
dare to spend enough to put down we'll He
may not have the chance to get hold of property
which it would be wise to bore a hole. He may not
have the time to look after the details Of drilling or
to look into the matters of title lease and contracts
But company may form in which give
their time to the office work and others to the field,
where all put in their capital and all share alike in
the expenses and in the revenues when they come in
Such an organization is truly cooperative and is
an ideal manner of investment for the man who has
only few hundreds that he afford to spare.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-22

Nothing is the matter with Ventura
as an oil field. It's wells were among
the first found in the state. They are
practically inexhaustible. At least
many of them have been pumped for
a quarter Of a century, but the earlier
we'll drilling was unscientific Deeper
drilling would bring In larger flows OF
oil. All experts agree on that.
want you to look upon the picture
which shows the log" of our we'll to
1000 feet depth. Then I want you to
get all the information you can about
the production of oil in Ventura, about
the percentage Of successful wells and
about the high price for light gravity
oil. and when you have all this in
mind, sit down and write me out your
order for stock in the CROWN OIL
co.
II you lack the sources Of informa-
ton, write me, and I will send you the
second edition of the CALIFORNIA
RED BOOK, the historical and statis-
tical encyclopedia on the subject.
THIS WILL BE FREE.
But send me your order for stock at
the same time. Make 1t subject to in
vestigation, If you like. THE MORE
YOU INVESTIGATE CROWN OIL,
THE MORE YOU WILL INVEST.
Don't wait tell you frankly that I don't
know when the present price of stock will
advance, but know that it will be soon.
Crown Oil stock is sold at 15c
per share. Buy now, and before
the advance, and I can save you
$50 on each 1000 shares. That's
picking up money pretty fast.

Oil Reasons
No. =

My second reason why you should invest in oil is
this: You should be Producer. Go to producing,
and you get to the fountain heads of wealth The
producer enrches himself without impovershing
others. It is new wealth. You the creator
Most men are consumers-always that and moth
ing more The consumer pays the Tariff and the
Taxes, the Freight and the Graft He does nothing
but pay-pay-pay.
Be Producer Then you have something TO
sell-sell-sell, The consumer pays you. You have
it. He has have it and he has pay you to get it.
Do you, know that ordinary oil well will earn
you more money in a day than you could earn with
your bare hands in a month? Do you know that it
brings in net receipts which better than the ordi-
nary mercantile business? Do you know that if
you own producing oil well you needn't work an
other day unless you want to?

Socialist speakers, she was unsparing

the situation of the older political
parties. A large crowd listened to
her, whether out OF curiosity or
through sympathy with the movement
is difficult to tell. The Socialist move-
ment Is unquestionably growing in
volume In Winslow township. Many
voters who still vote the older tickets
at local elections are outspoken In their
support of the Socialist national move.
