FL PAso's OIL WEALTH

Editor Fl Paso Herald: sa-
 In the Herald of November l5 you
 kindly published an article of mine
 on the oil prospects of the Tularosa
 Basin. l said that the Tularosa Basin
 was the greatest gusher field in, the
 world, and l gave it as my opinion
 that one of the main escapements or this vast pool was through the Pecos
 area. This has been proven through the excitement now prevailing in
 Pecos and Toyah. Again l made the prediction that another 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 win venture the prediction that the main escapement into the Pecos area takes place around the immediate vicinity of Yeso bluffs: there you will find the Pennsylvania uplift in all its grandeur. and again l 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. Fl Paso is ship ping its money and wealth into other fields that constitute the teachings from an ocean at her doors.
 The Fl Pasoan would. it seems. rather take & chance in companies that pay as high as S30. 900 an acre with $50. 900 added for drilling a hole. than to put single penny into vast ocean that is lying right at hIs door. Truly, Barnum was right.
 What are you going to do. hr. El 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 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 consideration the vast possibilities that lie at your own door to the tune of a few dollars at almost a penny an acre.
 I have sent appeals to one of the largest oil companies. IL has heard my cry, has sent it's scouts in every nook and corner of this vast basin and has locations on, I dare say. a million acres of the stuff that you have laughed at, scorned and ridi- culed One of your most prominent men told me: 'I can drink all the oil they will ever find in the Tuls- rosa basin or the Pecos" I am afraid he will have to order a stomach take in the Gulf of Mexico. Go on. Fl Paso! Crowd your money Into Pecos. Burkburnett. Ranger. Goose Creek. Desdemona, Claiborne. Caddo and other fields, but for goodness sake don't risk a 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 Fl Paso and Alamogordo, N. NJ, thoroughly convinced themselves months and | months ago that the gentleman who | wrote the above letter is right ir | every sense of the word; that tho Tularosa Basin has tne possibilities | of the greatest field In the world. and | upon this belief, the YESO BLGfFS | OIL & GAS co. was organized with | of 10.0S0 acres in the pick Il of the Tularosa Basin. and DO person Il who reads this ad. should hesitate for one moment in becoming a stock holder in this concern.
 Why go a thousand miles from home to invest your money in a 20-acre proposition, capitalized at $500, 900 or a million dollars. when | you know you haven't a chance to win. when this opportunity right al your very door Is offered?
 To prove out the above letter writer's theory that the man away from home always gets the results. we are receiving orders from all over the East which shows that Eastern CTS are more alert to the situation than those who live right at home.
 We predict that within sixty days any man who does not own stock fin this or some other concern in the Tulaross Basin will be the sorriest on earth. You might as we'll make up your mind today-SOW | hat there Is oil in the Tularosa Basin
