day.
Out of the difference between what
IT was charging June 80 last and what

above the profits it was making prevt
ously. On July the price was ad-

seventy, the additional profits of the
trust in that short time have amount

today it is obtaining only 6.75 cents,
which it advertises, the difference be-
tween those two figures is two cents
a pound, or $40 a ton of 2000 pounds.

In an interview last night Col Lee |
informed a News reporter that he had |

here whereby his company leased TO-
600 acres of land adjacent to Hatties-

Mr.. Lee has been working quietly
but thoroughly for the last two weeks
in the interest of his company, so
quietly in fact, that very few people
were aware of the nature Of his bust
ness He is an old oil man having
been in the business for more than
twenty years. and he states that the
geological condition existing here is
very favorable for the finding of oil,
this territory lying directly in line
with the oil fields of the East and of
Louisiana, mentioning however, that
sometimes the most exhaustive geolo-
gical conclusions are wrong and that
no theory connected with the oil bust
ness is infalible. But the fact that he
has leased something over 10000 acres
of land in this vicinity would indicate
that he is favorably impressed with
the idea that an oil pool does exist
near here. and that he is willing to
risk such a large investment is sig
nificant.
