Ell PASO OIL WEALTH
Editor FL Paso Herald:
In The Herald of Novem-
ber Is, you kindly published
an article of mine on the oil
prospects of the Tularosa ba-
sin. / said that the Tularosa
basin was the greatest gusher
field in the world, and | gave
it as my opinion that one of
the main escapements of this
vast pool was through the
Pecos area. This has been
proven through the excite
ment now prevailing in Pecos
and Toyah. Again | made
made the prediction that an
other escapement is through
the Oscura gaps and faults
through San Augustin pass
into the Detroit basin, Hueco
basin forming the largest
pocket of the vast ocean of
oil.
Now l will venture the pre-
diction that the main escape
ment into the Pecos area
takes place around the inn
mediate vicinity of Yeso
bluffs; there you will find the
Pennsylvania uplift in all its
grandeur, and again | say
that in the neighborhood of
the Twin Bluffs area there
will be found the center of
this vast ocean of oil that
will put into the shade all
other fields so far discovered
in the world.
In the meantime, Ell Paso
is shipping its money and
wealth into other fields that
constitute the teachings from
an ocean at her doors.
The Ell Pasoan would, it
seems, rather take a chance
in companies that pay as
high as $4,000 an acre with
$4,000 added for drilling a
hole than to put a single
penny into vast ocean that
is lying right at his door.
Truly, Barnum was right.
What are you going to do,
Mr.. Ell Paso Business Man,
when the Detroit basin,
Hueco basin, and the main
Tularosa basin come in with
their marvellous surprises?
Why, man, you have not even
stored up sufficient supplies
to last a week. How timid
you are! You, gamble like
Helen of Troy on stuff a
thousand miles from your
doors, and not for one mo-
ment do you take into con-
sideration the vast possibili-
ties that lie at your own
door, to the tune of a few
dollars at almost a penny an
acre.
] have sent appeals to one
of the largest oil companies.
1t has heard my cry, has sent
it's scouts in every nook and
corner of this vast basin and
has locations on, daresay, a
million acres of the stuff that
you have laughed at, scorn-,
ed, and ridiculed. One of
your most prominent men
told me: II can drink all the
oil they will ever fi1d IN the
Tularosa basin or the Pecos. n
/ am afraid he will have to-
order a stomach whose ca-S
pacity will be sufficient to;
take in the Gulf of Mexico.
Go on, Ell PasoI Crowd your
money into Pecos, Burkbur-s
nett, Ranger, Goose Greek,
Desdemona, Claiborne, Cad
do and other fields, but for
goodness sake don't risk
dollar on your own salvation,
your own vast resources. Go
to it; let the stranger from
strange lands find your
wealth and rob you of your
heritage. "Seneo- -Evatsug. "
The officers of the YESO
BLUFFS OIL & GAS CO.,
considered among the most
prominent men of Ell Paso
and Alamogordo, N. NJ,
thoroughly convinced them
selves months and months
ago that the gentleman who
wrote the above letter IS
right in every sense of the
word; that the Tularosa
/ Basin has the possibilities of
the greatest field in the
world, and upon this belief
the YESO BLUFFS OIL q
GAS co. was organized with
holdings of 10000 acres in
the pick of the Tularosa Ba-
sin, and no person who reads
this add should hesitate for
one moment in becoming a
stockholder in this concern.
Why 20 a thousand miles
from home to invest your
money in in 20-acre propo-
sition, capitalized at S5Ga,0 geo
or a million dollars Wncn YOU
know YOU haven't i chance
to win, when this opportunity
right at your very door is Of
fered?
To prove out the above let
ter writer's theory that the
man away from home always
gets the results, we are re-
ceiving orders from all over
the East which shows that
Fasteners are more alert to
the situation than those who
live right at home.
We predict that within SIX
tv days any man who does
not own stock in this or
some other concern in the
Tularosa Basin will be the
sorriest individual on earth.
You might as well make up
your mind today - NOW =
that there is oil in the Tula-
rosa Basin and get in on the
ground floor and this is a
ground floor proposition.
i PECOS HAS THE GOODS;
TOYAH HAS THE GOODS
AND THE TULAROSA BA-
SIN WILL HAVE TIE
GOODS. Remember, this Is
the game to play, the con-
rern with the big acreage and
the big prospects. A dollar
invested in this concern VIII
