survey covering period Of ten days Of some
10000 acres of the Trigg Ranch in San Miguel
County of Eastern New Mexico.
The results of this preliminary examination
have proved conclusvely that,
l. well defined, plunging anticline and main
fold with north-south bearing axis extends
through the center of the leases for several miles
along the Dawson branch of the E. P. & S. w.
Ry. and more particularly from point just above
the station of Atarque to Mile Post 80, a distance
of about seven miles.
2. The north end of this main field is inter-
sected by cross fold with axis bearing N 60-70
E., S. 6O-7O w. This cross fold is approximately
four miles long by two miles wide.
g. The south end of the main north-south
trending fold is also intersected by an east-west
bearing cross-fod about two to three miles long
and III miles wide.
The above structure will cover at least Is Sec
tions of land of which eight to ten sections are
very choicely located Such structural conditions
as above outlined are very favorable for the trap
ping and accumulation of oil, the presence of the
cross folding being especially significant. ALL
PRODUCING STRUCTURES IN CENTRAL
TEXAS TO DATE ARE THE RESULTS OF THE
COMPOUNDING OF EASTERLY-W WESTERLY
BEARING CROSS FOLDS WITH SLIGHTLY
NORTHEASTERLY TRENDING MAJOR FOLD.
Summing up the proposition in general, it pos
sesses,
1. Very favorable structural conditions.
2. Reasonable possibility of Pennsylvania sand
within reach of the drill.
3. No igneous intrusion which are not looked
upon with much favor where associated with
structures farther to the west
a Efficient and nearby transportation facii-
ties.
Nearby source of fuel coal from the Daw-
son region.
6. Plenty of nearby water for drilling purposes
This is a very attractive wildcat area, above
the average, and do not hesitate to recommend

A WORD TO INVESTORS

We have in organizing this company endeavored
to combine the element of safety on the one hand,
with the opportunities of exceptionally great pro-
fits on the other. The wells that the company has
contracted to drill in proven territory will pay the
stockholders a nice profit. No shareholder in this
company is taking chance of losing his or her
money. Should we secure production from our
New Mexico leases our profits will be tremendous.
We also expect from time to time to secure addi-
tiona acreage.
If you desire safe, sound investment, with no
chance to lose, with certain profits from wells in
proven territory combined with the opportunity
of sharing in the profits from beginning in a new
field should we bring in well in New Mexico, this
is your opportunity. We expect to increase the
price of this stock when the first well comes in.
Our advice to you is to fill out the application form
below and mail in with money order, bond or your
check at once. Get in before the advance in price.
We are drilling day and night on our first well.
This company has been granted permission to
sell stock in Arkansas by the State Bank Commits
sioner and the Commission advises you not to buy
stock from companies without its permit

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped 85,9S0,30J
bushels. II this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 2S7 500, 900 bushels of wheat and

The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United

ton Of hostilities I'VE are able to re-
turn TO normal wheat diet. Supplies

But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep

Ing across the sea. We found our,
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statiSticians
figured that we had a bare surplus OF
2O,OO0,O00 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine-and In Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All OF this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
OF the year we had managed to ship
little more than $4,000, 900 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only IL we sent an additional 75,.
100000 bushels before July l could he
take the responsibility OF assuring his
people that they would be fed.

pie was So,OOO,OO0 bushels safely deliv.

actually shipped 141, 100000 bushels
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained. and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures Will be bettered.
