The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-12-16
.NLESBURG CONSOLIDATE
ED ROYALTIES CO. WILL
SECURE OIL LEASES

ing the papers for the incorporation
of the company.
For the past several years there has
been more or less talk of the pos
sibilities of there being oil in this sec
ton. but there has never been any ac-
tive effort made towards putting down
what Old Mother Earth contains in
this great commonwealth. There
seems now to be determined effort
upon the part of large number of the
prominent citizens o. this section to
accomplish this end. The landowners
of the territory which embraces the
structure as reported on by GeolOglst
Smiley should lend their hearty CO.
operation, and lease their land readily
to the new Holding company, which
consists entirely of local citizens. 1t is
community proposition strictly.
Without united effort the land now
is not worth a dollar as far as oil is
concerned, but there is glowing pos
sibility that by united effort upon the
part of the citizens of the cOmmun-
ity, that there will be untold prosper
ity, and if that be the case, there will
be mutual benefit derived.
We should view this matter IN a
broad manner-if there is oil to be
struck here, the digging of the test
well or wells will tell the story, and
perchance may mean a vast develop
ment never dreamed of in this section.
The Holding company expects to safe
guard the interests of the people as
whole, and you should have conf
dence in the officers and directors, who
are prominent local men, to see that
this is done strictly to the letter, as
they have pledged their honor to con-
duct the affairs of the company in
strictly legitimate business manner.
We now have what seems like a
wonderful opportunity to further de-
velop this community, in which all
public spirited citizens should have a
heartfelt interest. There is consider
able work ahead for the new COM

and the committees are shouldering
the burden willingly. II you ars &
landowner we believe it will be to your
interest to lease your land willingly
and give your hearty cooperation to
the company, whether you wish to be-
come member or not. It's great
big community proposition, and it may
prove bigger than some of US think.
