CHEAP FUEL
SAYS Mr., POLAND
HIS COMPANY HAS TENACITY OF
THE BULL DOG AND WILL NOT
TURN LOOSE.

There is nothing like cheap fuel TO
make a city of Ardmorc, and We are
convinced that there is an ineXhaus-
tible supply OF oil and gas right here
near town, said w Z. Poland when
asked about the Poland Oil and Gas
company work. We will keep right
at the wrok until we have found the
fuel and then watch things around
Ardmore hum, we have had to over
come many obstacles, there have been
a number of knockers" and doubling
Thomasses who imagine that the
company was organized solely for the
benefit of one man, but happily they
were in the minority and we have
been going right along with the work,
and experts on oil and gas matters tell
us that we have both right in and
around Ardmore and the thing for us
to do is TO keep at the work. in case
that one we'll proves to be n dry one,
we will locate the drill in another
place ana keep on until we nave pros
pected out the entire holdings of the
company which means great deal
of work as we have mineral leases on
thousands of acres of land.
Mr.. Poland is very optimistic about
the prospects and says that there is
no doubt that there will be plenty OF
oil and gas found by the company in a
short time. II cheap fuel can he had
here 1t will be the means of bringing
many factories and enterprises here
that will never come under any other
circumstances, and It is hoped that
every man who Is interested in Ard
more will put his shoulder to the
wheel and help IN the work.

Absolute Refutation of Charges Made

Il. L. Patrick of this city has just
sent to the New York Mining Age the
following letter, with the request that
it be published:
August IL, 1910.
Editor New York Mining Age, New
York City:
Dear Sir-In your issue of August

In Arms On Diamondfeld Black
Butte, relating to the recent reorgan-
~ization of the Diamondfeld Black Butte
Mining company.
81 regret that you do not give the
name of your informant, as / would
like to have written directly, but as his
statement contains so many glarinp
falsehoods, and is so evidently given
with the intention of injuring me with
the stockholders of the Diamondfeld
Black Butte Recognized Mining com
pany, feel that in justice to myself
l should give a statement of the facts.
Regarding the statement that / at
tempted to get my stock for nothing,
give in full a letter received from
Mr.. Thomas +. Manning, president of
the Registration Trust company:
'Goldfeld, Nevada, August IL,

request for a statement concerning
your negotiations for the exchange of
a block of stock of the Diamondfeld
Black Butte Consolidated Mining com
pany for stock of the Di~amondfeld
Black Butte Recognized Mining COM
pany, which you presented for ex-
change under the arrangement for such
