Buick Oil? 1t tells our stock
holders that their judgment has
heen right. More than this. 1t
tells in direct language the value
of Buick Midway holdings.
Think OF an oil well that is to-
day producing from 1900 to 1000
barrels. At the present selling
price Of oil this means a daily
value OF from $3.50 10 $500 to
the, well. This is not the i'm
pOrtant question. however. The
real proof of this well lies in the
fact that our Midway forty is a
proven territory. We can sink

BELASCO-"The Faun."

William Faversham is said to have
kicked and butted" his way to success
in Edward Knoblauch's comedy, THE
Faun," coming to the BelascO Theater
next week.
While a faun may be a mythical
character to be found in classical die
tionaries, he is said to be real lively
and mirth-provoking in this comedy. 1t
has been generally conceded that Mr.
Faversham's impersonation off the faun
is the most unique of his career In
studying this role, Mr.. Faversham had
no conventional business" to follow;
IT was necessary to create" as the
actors say, an entirely new and untried
character. While the theme is fantas-
tic, the comedy is said to be genuine.

will be oIt in about one week, and
in this issue we intend to tell the
story OF the bringing al of this
well in full detail. We hope to be
able to have photographs of the
well as II came in, and We win be
glad to see that each and every
stockholder or person interested in
this company who will send in the
coupon below, receives copy of
this publication.
We know exactly, foot by foot.
the character of the ground we will
70 have to pass through in our next
wells at Midway. We have an this
information at hand and this ex-
perlence will enable us to perform
the drilling of the new wells in
about one-half the length of time
and Gith 80 per cent of the eN-
pense.
MY advice to every man and wo-
man who reads this advertisement
is to inform yourself more of Buick
Oil II you are not satisfied that
now is the time 20 buy this Com
pany'S shares.
We have published a great book
entitled THE Land Where Oil Is
King" and in this book you will
find the most interesting literature
with respect to the California oil
fields YOU have ever read. 1t gives
you facts and figures which are al
most beyond belief, but which are
absolute proofs. and even the chill
dren in California are well versed
in this knowledge. Those things
which look to these Eastern men as
almost unbelievable are matters OF
everyday interest to people who live
in and around the great oil fields.
Men who but few months or
wears ago were working for wages
are today rich because of the i'll
YeStments and money they have
made out of the California oil COM
NAMES. Just a few hundred dollars
vested in some of these companies
have netted the stockholders thous-
ands Of dollars in profits per year,
and what 1 expect to do before very
long. is to prove to the world the
holdings of the Buick OIL Company
are among the richest in the State.
The great book, which we will
serd free, tells you of all these
questions, and we will also send a
copy of a little magazine published
every two weeks. which we call
the Buick OIL News. and this publi-
cation is filled with the news items,
not only of the Buick Oil Com
pany, but of all news matteI which
is of importance to the oil indus
try.
Do not hesitate to buy some of
this company's stock now, today,
this very minute. Send in the cou-
pom below for as many shares as
you desire.
The following table will show you
how to make your payments IL you
purchase on the installment plan.
If you want to known more, how
ever. about this Company before .
you invest, send in the information
coupon below and we will send this
literature at once.

have been attacking Buick Oil and
who have been endeavoring to dis
satisfy its stockholders.
What do you think the earnings
of the Buick Oil Company will be
when we have 10 wells upon the
Buick Midway forty, all of them
bringing in 1,5O0 to 1900 barrels of
oil or more per day? Selling our oil
at SOC per barrel means that we
will enjoy an income of $4,000 to
sl,500 per day for each and every
well put down If these wells run
1,590 to 5000 barrels per day. This
means that our income would be
on one acre alone $500 to $4,000 per
day. or S2.742,50O to S. $4,000 per
year. II such an income Is possible
upon one acre. what will the in
come be upon forty. acres, and
every tract in the Midway tract is,
in our opinion, equal to the land
upon which our Buick Midway No.
l well is located. No man alive
can figure out the profits to be de-
rived from Buick oil. They are
merely speculative.
We feel that Buick Oil stock will
go to several times it's present
price and we fully anticipate being
able to return to our stockholders,
IN the nature Of large dividends,
ample profit upon their investment,
simply from several of these wells.
When our 560-aCre holdings are
being operated, together with the
40-acre Maricopa Sunset, and after
We have several other wells gush-
ing upon our Midway tract, the
earning power of Buick on stock
will be colossal.
Now is the time to buy Buick
shares at IS cents. Do not wait a
single day. Do not delay, but pur-
chase as many of these shares as
your present income and mode of
life will enable you to do. It is
our opinion that this company will
not nave to sell very much more
of its stock, and we believe from
the thousands upon thousands of
letters which we have received in
the past, and are receiving TODAY
from all sections of this country.
that we will exhaust every share
we have for sale within a very
short time.
Our No. . well. which will be
started Immediately, should reach
the oil body in 12O days, and No 8
well should come in within a short
time thereafter. 1t Is our hope and
ambition TO have three producing
wells on Buick Midway 10 by the =
the middle of summer, and We be-
lieve that when these wells are pro-
uuClils tHdl lIlS company 8 stock
cannot be purchased for two or
three times the price it is selling at
today. for then It should be earning
very large dividends.
All questions of experiment are
now in the past. The future of this
company resolves itself down to a
purely arithmstical question.
This company publishes a little
paper called the Buick Oil News"
which appears twice each month.

Cripple Creek Mines.

"Those who are of the opinion that
gold mining camps are not always as
long-lived as they are cracked up to be
will find a great deal of food for
thought in the statement recently
made public showing that one of the
Cripple Creek companies 10 years after
the discovery of the camp has just de-
clared a dividend amounting to l,50O,-
COOS. The Golden Cycle Mining Co.,
one of the larger companies operating
in that camp, is the one TO cut IA melon
of that size to the fortunate stockhQld-
ers. With a capital of l,500,000 shares
this means payment of is share,
or about 30 per cent upon the nominal
market value of the stock. This is an
extra disbursement, the regular month
ly payments made by the company for
some time past having been two cents

tras will be declared from time To time,

being generally estimated as about Co.
COOS a month, or double the dividend
requirements. Incidently, the Golden
Cycle is not the only company in
Cripple Creek which is producing good
profits. The Portland in quarterly
dividends has this year paid out total
of 24O,0OOS, Vindicator lS0,010S, and

there are number of smaller pay

Sulphide Ore Found
at Apache Group.

Much interest has been manifested
in what the Copper Queen company is
doing at the properties which it holds
under option at Camp Apache, in Pinal
county, some miles from Tucson, its
base of supplies. in the Catalina noun
tains. The option was extended last
summer, and from time to time, before
and since, there have come reports
that it was Il highly promising pros
pect. Recently there have been re-
ports in the Tucson papers of fine ore
strikes on the property. Manager
Sawyer, of the property was in Bisbee
over Sunday, and talked of the report
ed strike, which he says was not new
when first mentioned by the papers,
but a continuance of results obtained
and work done previously. The ex-
tent of the strike has not yet been de-
termined, but there has been a good
find of sulphide ores. Camp Apache
is not yet a mine, but it is a more
promising prospect than ever before,
and conditions are highly encouraging.
As yet no great depth has been OBJ
tanned at the Apache properties. The
ore that has been found is sulphide and
not oxide like so many surface indica-
tions. The formation is such and the
geological conditions such, that sui
phides and not oxides might be expect
ed. 1t yet remains to determine that
there is mine there, but at this time
indications point TO the affirmative.
Further exploration will determine
whether the options shall he completed
and the property taken over. If this
shall happen, as 1t appears probable
now, il is likely that railroad commun-
ication will be established with this
camp.
In the work done thus far there has
been a remarkable freedom from acci-
dents at am Ara :he since tn Copper
Queen obtained the options on the
property, for although an average of
fry or more men lave been working
on the property, there has not as yet
been a serious accident to any of them.

present body of ore was encountered.
This vein or shoot is about two feet in
width and runs very high in silver and
copper, the lowest assay received from
this vein being "a ounces in silver and
four per cent copper.
This is the only ore of the kind that
has been found in the district outside
of the Rye Patch line, and for that
reason the owners are lead TO believe
that they have the long looked for ex-
tension of the Rye Patch.
Another shift has been put to work
on the Rye Patch mine and car of
ore was shipped TO the Salt Lake
smelters the last of the week and
another Is being hauled TO the station

mine to the station.

Block Strikes Good Pay Shoot.

Miners in the city from the HaSsay-
ampa district report considerable eX-
citemsnt over the discovery of blind
vein on the New Era mine of the
Christmas group owned by Ed. Block.
The find carries good gold values and
has every indication of being highly
meritorious. The discovery was made
in a wash on the summit between the
HaSsayampa and Copper Creek, just
above the junction of the two streams,
with no outcrop whatever visible.
The discolored ground that carried
evidences of iron led Mr.. Block to he
lieve that ledge was underlying that
condition, and this was verified when
the gravel was shoveled away, expos
Ing a well defined vein a foot wide,

A shaft was Immediately started and
yesterday had reached depth of seven
teen feet and the pay streak had in
creased to three feet, and the values
to 23.15S in gold and 6.O5s in silver, or
a total of 9.2OS per ton. From the last
eight feet of the shaft ten tons of ore
was extracted and is piled on the
dump.
Those who have examined the prop
erty predict that the pay streak will
widen with depth. The character of
the ore is said to be different from any
thing heretofore discovered in the dis
trict, and the ledge being well defined
between perfect walls indicates per-
manency. Mr. Block will leave in a
few days to make an examination of
the progress of development in the
shaft, and expressed himself as pleas

that is in evidence as the shaft work
