his purchase within few weeks, or my
judgment is all wrong.
You can't tell me that people like
the Corsicana, the Mountain State and
other companies will send their scouts
and geologists down there, spending
thousands of dollars for acreage all
around our leases, unless we have
something good. The big operators
don't spend much money fooliShly
on leases, and six geologists have
recently inspected our leases, all with
the same splendid report.
| believe, as firmly as | ever believed
anything in my life, that one of the big
gest strikes Oklahoma has yet known is
going to be made in Stephens county.
You never saw such feverish leasing,
such excitement, such an atmosphere
of suppressed expectancy in any other
field before the big strike was an
nounced."
Thus it is that Conway, after long
days of struggle and delay which is
always the penalty of the pioneer, is
beginning to realize the success of a
big idea. With success, and a prob
able big one, almost in sight for the
company, money is pouring into the
treasury which will supply funds TO
rush the completion of we'll number
one and two and to start three
and four on this and the company's
three other one thousand acre leases
in favored Stephens county locations.
The anticline we'll has an interesting
and romantic history. The company
which is drilling it was organized by
Conway, who has the unique record of
never having drilled a dry hole and
who prior to this, organized two other
oil companies one of which paid 40
percent dividends during eighteen
months and sold its stock at 50 for 81 ;
the other which was so successful that
its stock sold at s. for 81 within sixty
days.
Conway believed just after the Heald
ton strike that another great pool Of
oil lay somewhere in the vicinity With
a geologst he carefully surveyed the
territory il Stephens county, discover
ing the big anticline," or in~~--ether
words, a great winding ridge of rock,
hidden deep underground but indicated
by the dip in the outcropping rock

" 5000 acres of choice leases in
favored Stephens county spots. The
company is capitalized at only $4,000
less than $40 per acre. 1t is not likely
that this acreage could be duplicated
for $4,000 or $40 per share.
When leases have sold in Stephens
county as high as $3.50 per acre on geo
logical reports alone, it would appear
that this company is scheduled for
tremendous success.
Once a big we'll is struck lease prices
will jump sky high. Even at $3.50 an
acre, either of its 1000 acre tracts
would be worth $2500O0. At $500 or
$1,000 an acre, which is yet a con-
servative price, a half million or a
million would be the reward, to say
nothing of profits from oil II all four
leases prove good this company may
be paying the $40, SIS and $50 investors
500 for 81.
When the first gas was struck, Con-
way firmly determined to sell no more
stock to outsiders, realizing that the
smaller the amount in earning force the
greater the dividends for the original
investors Owing to some miSfortunes
in drilling and great expense which
wa not anticipated in finishing the
we'll and the emergency which has
arisen, requiring cash to close the
leases on the acreage at Doyle and
Lawton, a few thousand additional
shares of treasury stock will be sold.
The announcement that it is to be
offered at par-$l per share is bringing
quick response from scores of people
who jump at the chance to get in so
cheaply when the drill is on the verge
of probable gusher strike.
Regarding the proposition, Mr.. Con
way says: at is foolish. perhaps, to
offer our stock at par. Every indica-
tion thus far looks like it will be a
big new oil field. Leases selling all
around us at prices that should make
our acreage worth more than our en-
tire capital stock--a gas strike that
alone should insure all stockholders
against any loss--our additional leases
as good if not better-why should we
sell stock at par? Cash is the answer
quick action-cash to push the five
wells faster.
Remember, we'll No. |, west of Dun

Conway beseeched original investors TO
rally to the support of the company
when money was needed badly. Today
it is a different story. With money
rolling in on each mail and prospects
looking better every hour, there is little
need for parley with the doubters. At
the present rate it wiH take only a
short time more to complete the drilling
fund required for the additional devel-
opment.
Conway says: "If you want Big Anti
cline shares, you haven't an hour to
lose. Remittances bearing the earliest
postmark will be given first consider
alton, if the allotment of stock offered
is ovcrsold. If YOU ever expect to IN
vest in oil-if you ever expect to share
in the vast riches lying under Okla

independent-your opportunity is now
not this afternoon-not tomorrow-not
next week-but right now.

biggest chance now to earn great re-
turns for you it will probably ever
have. Get it into the mail at once Get

Ing to geologiSts, almost invariably
form reservoir for oil. This one was
a monster two miles wide and six miles
long, with a pronounced dome. Oil
seepng from wells and springs nearby
and the crossing of prominent oil lines
in addition to the anticlne made il
look so good that Conway leased
every acre he could get-3,0OO in all.
He secured ample funds from stock
sales to small investors to drill well
to the 1,00O-foot depth where 4,5O0,-
000-foot flow of gas was struck, Then
things began to happen. Flattering
offers were made by gas franchise
owners, but the provisions were such
that Conway refused to accept. Firmly
convinced that oil in gusher quantities
lay Just a little deeper, he hung on
refusing to allow control to pass frou
the small stockholders. The gas wal
cased off and the drill sunk deeper
Four splendid showings of oil and three
of gas have been found and it begins
to look as if the holders of "Anticline"
stock are going to hear big news soon.
This seems to be forcibly substanti-
ated by the fact that nearly every big
producing company in the state has
recently bought acreage around TIL.
5000 acres leased by the Big Anticline ;
the Corsicana Oil company has 5000
acres and the Mountain State 0000. The
"Anticlinc" Company, however, is well
fortified to reap the full reward of its
effort, for its 5000 acres extend in all
directions from its No. | we'll.
Not only this, but Conway has
leased 1000 additional acres, west of
NARROW, and is now down SIS feet with
well No. 2 on that lease. Six geologiSts
have recently examined the property
around this we'll, all of whom report
a fine geological showing The largest
producing company in the state con-
siders the prospects so good here that
they recently spent $4,000 for leases.
Recently Conway closed a deal for a
lease on another thousand acres near
Doyle and a fourth tract of about the
same size northeast of Lawton. Both
of these localities are very active and
both have ideal geological indications.
This makes in all, including the original
3,0OO-acre Anticline lease, approximate

Everyone in Oklahoma has heard
more or less of the wonder tales of
riches made from small investments in
oil. Such instances as the Lucille Oil
company which made $4,000 for $l0O
investments; the Coline company which
made $Sj000 on Sis; the Central Oil
company which made $4500O on $3.50
Investments; the Central Oil company
which made 500 investors $4,500; the
Healdton Oil and Gas company which
paid one OF several dividends during
one year of 900 percent and on down
through the scores of examples which
might be quoted.
How we Oklahomans, who see such
examples all round us every day, can
fail to grasp the opportunities offered
is a mystery. From every phase, the
