What Is the attraction about oil?
That WAS the question asked Of an
oldtime Denver speculator In stocks Of
all kinds, and this was his answer:
"Oil Is the commodity in greatest
demand. Gasoline and naphtha come
from oil, and oil runs great ocean ves-
sells, locomotives and almost count.
less industries. It Ia used In hun
dred different ways. The supply is
millions Of barrels under the demand.
This all means there ia . market for
every gallon Of oil obtained.
"There Is no other stock In which .
few dollars invested may mean thou
sands. 1t Is the only stock that holds
out the promise Of sudden wealth and
original wealth. You get money from
an oil well and you are producing
your own wealth. You don't have to

Allies Ask More Oil Than
u. S. Can Supply

In 1917 the United States oil exports
amounted to 2,598, 900. 600 gallons Of
the value Of 1858, OBJ 900. This is All In.
crease In valuation Of 81. OOO, 900, bu,
decrease Of lO,5OO,OOO gallons over
1918.
The demand for oil In Europe with
the allies Of the United States con.iu.
ues to be far ahead of the supply.
while other nations also look to the
United States for an oil supply. The
Germans now control the Roumapian
fields. and. from all accounts, tn.
great Russian helds, SO that the de.
mand will be even greater on the
United States In 1918
The first export Of oil made In the
United States was In 1880 when l,3O
gallons, Of . value of $3.50, were ex-
ported. These figures contracted with
those OF 1917 form an interesting CON.
parison on the American oil industry.

Gasoline Content Proves
Large in Crude
Shale Oil

A sample OF crude oil distilled from
shale Of Rio Blanco county, Colorado,
was sent to the Cosden refinery, near
Tulsa, Okla, for a test with interest
Ing results, just received at Denver.
The oil yielded Is per cent. fiat gaso-
line: rs per cent. of naphtha, benzihe
and kerosene; i3 per cent. high-grade
lubricsting oil, and from to 10 per
cent. paraffin wax with melting
point Of l35 degrees.
by cracking the naphtha, benzine
and kerosene, an additional ID per
cent. gasoline WAS secured and per
cent fuel oil. There was per cent.
loss In this process. The lend point"
In this operation was 400 degrees.
This test Of the oil that can be pro-
duced from Colorado shales Is regard
ed as very encouraging because Of the
large amount Of gasoline that can be
secured, Of Importance because the
market for gasoline is practically un-
limited at this time.
While there Is not 80 great . de-
inand for the lubricating oil this Ia OF
high value, testing 225 at 10 degrees.

"You may say the same thing about
metal mining and be true, but oil has
this advantage over mining: When
you have spent money to locate u
mine and you have exposed the ore
body, then yourexpenses really begin.
You must get the ore out, and that
means constant expense, and the ex-
pense grows as you go farther, and
unless you ship your rock you will
have to have mill. aud so on upward
go the expenses. With an oil well. the
moment you hit oil you are thru with
spending money. You have only to
connect with the pipe line, and liquid
gold pours into your pockets.

Oil Venture Can Mean
Fortune or Poverty
Old Operator Calls Ii the Great.
est Gamble in World and Ex-
plains Investors Chances

"Drilling for oil means feast or a
famine" said an old oil operator. IF
you bring In . good well you have the
feast; II it's n dry hole you have the
famine. There isn't any other bust
ness that offers the same returns for
the same amount OF money. nor ia there
any other business where t5O,OOO will
disappear any more quickly and with
nothing to show for 1t except your rig
and material and hole In the ground.
1.-THE Trapshooter down In Kansas
made millionaires In n night. There
are farmers In Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas who were Just getting by till
the oil boom came along, and now
they have 10 much money they don't
know how to spend 1t.
In every oil state In the union
there are stories OF these men who
actually became rich In night, for
gushers were struck on their land, or
good wells we're brought In.
ANY man who puts his money into
an oil company where the money is
actually used for development has II
chance for fortune. I mean by this,
where the money obtained from the
sale Of stock Is used In drilling and OBJ
tanning acreage that has been pro-
nounced possible for oil by compe-
tent geOlOgists.
"There may be . fault In the struc-
ture so the we'll Is water, but that
isn't the fault Of the company.
I'm these companies the promoter
10 just as eager to bring In a big we'll
as the man who has q worth Of stock.
"There are just as great fortunes
still to come. from the ground. There
are gushers to come and big wells to
come In, so there Is just the same Cd.
portunity today a. yesterday. Some
body is going to be In on these for.
tunes. On the other hand, there will
be dry holes brought In and your
money Is lost.
ION Is the greatest gamble there Is

He looked at the ground and then At the sky
He wrinkled his brow which WAS half n foot high;
He walked up hill and then down again;
He kept doing this while twas hotter than sin.

by

That the mystiaed rube went home with chilli
He juggled his snerod and little hand level
In fashion that looked like the work Of the devil
He found with clinometer dope Of the dips,
But no words came from his closed lips
His eye glued to his new aidade.
While the farmers crew stopped by in the shade.
1t took many days til the highbrow was pleased
Then he flew to his den like man who was CREASED;
For day and a night he worked like . fool
While the rest Of the world was enjoying the COOL
He mapped out the logic Of dotnes and things
Tested the waters Of brooks and springs;
He counted the freckies on lots of rocks
And took from Nature the key to her locks
He made his report to the man with the tin
And fell into bed feeling just about all sin"
The man with the "tin" rushed out . drill
And commenced to punch OH the crest Of hill.
In few months time the gusher got busy
And gushed hard 1t made the world dizzy.
The higher up got million for "his,"
And the farmer went north for his rheumatic"
The geologist man got his name In the paper
But his portion Of swag resembed wafer.
