ON POSSIBILITIES NEAR

An examination of the country In
the vicinity of Quanah, Texas, has
been made by Carroll II. Wcgcmann
Of the United states Geological sur
Vcy to determine If possible the geo
logic structure of the area ana the
presence or absence OF anticliucs
which might be effective in pro-
ducing accumulations of oil or gas.
The country around Quanah ls not a
proved oil or Ba9 field. though re
ports Of surface indications Of oil and
gas have been current there for some
time
The possibility of finding oil or gas
IN commercial quantities IN Tn, ViCiu-
ity of Quanah Is a subject on which
NO very definite conclusions can he
reached from an examination of Tn"
geology of the surface. "Wildcatting'
in an area in which the rock structure
Is no more pronounced than in the
region Of Quanab Is attended with
considerable risk and should be un-
dcrtalScu only by companies that can
well afford to take the chance of
failure. II is bclioNcd that the loca-

This is the age Of OIL Gasoline at 30
cents per gallon or $500 per barrel il
the cheapest power producer in the United
States. 1t will soon reach that price. ii
not higher. The price OF crude oil has been
too low. The independent oil producer has
been a martyr Big banks have refused him
credit lie has been Disseminated against
by unfair Legislation and unjust taxes. lie
has been laughed at by hgh.brow reformers
who have sneered at the oil business as Of
no consequence. The public is now waking
NJ to the vast Importance of the concern that
drills oil wells.
The greatest opportunities in America are
in the Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas oil fields
today. The Uncle Sam Oil Company is the
pioneer independent. 1t has fought its way
through persecution to prosperity
1t now controls over 10000 acres Of oil
and gas lands and leases in the real oil
belt. Has over 100 producing wells The
larger percentage OF its property is con.
nected by its own pipe line now in operation
for over l6j miles
II has work under headway on Eighteen
(lS) wells at this hour 1t has seven diff
ferent properties that by just ttttle good
luck in its drilling operations should pro
duce more oil than all its stock will total
at the sacrifice price offered you.
We are determined to start the balance
Of forty drills. About twelve per cent Of
the stock is unissued. Stock has been al.
loited among the present eighteen thousand
stockholders on a stock dividend basis The
loyal stockholders own their stock at about
four mills per share Under this sacrifice
offer you can secure the stock at six mills
per share. Our authorized issue is Four
Hundred Million shares. That only means
when all is issued n real capitalization basis
Of two million four hundred thousand dollars
We know the speculative value of this
stock should be several times this amount,
but we have many leases where the drilling
OF one test well may jump in vaue ten to
one hundred times We need new capital
and We are going to raise it forthwith This
notice will reach Twenty Million readers
