The successful development of an
oil field at Sulphur, Nevada. will revo-

that great mineral State, just as the
discovery of oil has done for Califor-

duetion of low grade ore that cannot
now be handled. The discovery of oil
in commercial quantities by the High
Gravity United Oil Company on its
large Nevada holdings of upwards of
1000 acres will add millions of dollars
to its already large assets and will
create a demand for the shares at high
prices, rivaling in value the stock of
any Nevada mining company of today
