Colorado Shale Oil Fields
Are Worlds Richest

this shale contains IN this Ledge alone
over lso,0 barrels OF oil, or 2OS0o.G00
barrels in 100 acres-or 80 ,200, 900 in
square mile while above and below this
ledge of shale are 800 feet more Of
solid shales that carry from 80 to ~
gallons to the ton, making four times
the above amount OF oil in each acre.
Considering only the 3O-foot ledge and
that three-fourths OF It can be mined,
leaving the balance in place for sup
ports and waste, the crude oil pro
duced per acre would be worth nearly
s2OO,O0O On that basis the crude from
a square mile. $40 acres, would be
worth s12S.OOO, 900 while the refined
product would be valued at several
times that figure"

This company has taken all the gamble out
Of the oil business and offers you certainty of

In Western Colorado there have recently
been discovered immense bodies of soft shae, con-
tanning oil in large amounts. BY crushing and
heating this shale the oil in it is changed into va
por. The vapor is then condensed by cold and
the crude oil, together with many valuable by
products, is distilled and later refined

ENORMOUS EARNINGS

There are only 10000 One Dollar Shares Of
Stock in this Company. That means that Tor
every share of stock you buy you become the
owner Of more than $50 barrels OF oil. With
20 profit Of only 81 barrel, that means more
than $3.50 for every dollar you invest. All that
remains to be done to start these enormous
