to be producing 1 1000 barrels daily, and about 800 feet from the Humble well, are worth as q minimum, S15,000 Now follow this calcula- ton:
 Holding No. l, value s18OOO
 Holding No. 2, value S15,O00
 Holding No. 3, value - S50000
 Total value of leases ......... .s83,OOO
 Cash proceeds from 30,000 shares
 of stock at 85c net to the company S25, 800
 Total value S108, 800 Not taking into consideration 20, 900 shares of stock in the treasury of the company which, when oil is produced on No. l, can be sold at much higher figure for the purpose of building other wells on the company holdings, leaving the production of No. 1 available for divi- dends.
 The stock is being offered to the public at par, namely, S1OO per share, while at present we find, before any oil has been struck, that it is worth on basis of 80, 900 shares of stock out standing, S1. .35 PER SHARE BEFORE OIL HAS BEEN STRUCK. I have checked these figures carefully and can find no flaw in them and the conclusion that one who buys stock in this company at S1.00 per share has now 35c per share profit on his holdings, is, think be- yond contradiction. In addition, inside acre age such as this company holds, is rapidly ad- vancing in value and the figures on the other holdings at the present time, are under the market value.
 So far as the value of the stock of producing oil companies Is concerned, one has only to look at the daily quotations of such stocks as the Standard Oil Texas Oil, Mexican Petroleum and numerous others to see the large profits realized by the original holders of stock in these companies.
 One should not forget that the great world conflict that has just come to close, was a war of gasoline, and the immense amount of oil used has, according to the U. s. Govern ment officials, heavily depleted this country's reserve stock. All other countries are alive to this situation. The Los Angeles Times of the 17th inst records the fact that Great Britain through the Royal Dutch-Shell Company, has taken over 2,500,000 shares of the Mexican Eagle Oil Company at the price of six pounds sterling per share the deal involving S75, ,000,- 900; and a London cable account of this trans action reads as follows
 Great optimism prevails here as to the value of the oil industry for all purposes including Naval, and it is recognized that the Govern ment acted with considerable foresight in se- curing control of great supplies both in the East and the West"
 The British Government has been for long time much interested in the valuable Anglo Persian property, controlling jointly Burma Oil and now their holdings in Royal Dutch take it into the Mexican field. TT VAT r T7TTI TC
