A few hundred feet more will tell
the tale.
l expect well No. 1 on 400 acres
In the southeast extension will be COM
pleted within the next thousand feet.
| predict that this well will come in
with a flush production of from $500
to 1000 barrels.
Nothing less will satisfy me.
When this comes to pass we will
sell, and sell quickly, for then the big
companies will be eager to take over
our lease and well-anxious to pay us
a fancy price for them.
l will complete the Mexia Extension
well No. l with all the speed con-
sistent with careful drilling.
When well No. 1 is completed a
gusher l pledge DIR. Hoover and myself
to the policy of an immediate sale of
the lease and well and an immediate
distribution of the proceeds and profits
among our shareholders.
DIR. Hoover and myself do not intend
to build up a permanent oil company.
We are enlisting the support of
american investors on a quick action
policy.
We have pledged ourselves to COM
plete well No. l with all possible
haste, sell the lease and we'll at a
handsome profit and split a big melon
among u unit holders.
We are not planning an ~enternrise
as a permanent competitor of the
Standard Oil Company but rather a
quick action, big profit deal in which
investors can hazard a little to win a
lot.
It's not a cinch, but it is the cleanest
speculation in the state of Texas to-
day-a "bang up" right now strike
for fabulous fortune.

O LIKE a BIG WELL

1 am drilling around 2,40O feet
today. (.
Another thousand feet at most will
tell the story. ]
Formation after formation and
strata after strata that / have cou
tered in drilling our we'll No. / on 400
acres in the southeast extension con-
vince me that 1 am on the right track.
If 1 were drilling in the heart of the
Mexia pool / would not expect to find
n more uniform geology than l have
encountered here.
That the derrick of our No. 1 we'll
on 400 acres in the southeast extension
stands squarely above a vast reservoir
of oil is my honest belief.
If our drill pierces the Woodbine
sand in the next thousand feet 1 am
confident our lease and we'll will sell
quickly for hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
My helpers and myself here on the
derrick platform are firmly convinced
that We are going to encounter gusher
production in a few hundred feet now.
AS announced in this space last
week the drilling crew has requested
that they be permitted to take a
months wages in the Syndicate's units.
What finer tribute could be made an
oil development project than this I'M
qualified endorsement by the wells
drilling crew?
They realize that a gusher on 400
acres with our low capitalization of
$4,000 and our low par value of 10
cents per unit should make them in
dependently rich on their investment
of one months wages.
How about you?

Not because there is any secret about what we are doing with
our well No. on 400 acres in the southeast extension of the Mexia
field, but
I've had so many visitors this week that the boys on the der
rick platform have been so busy answering questions that thew

Biologists and scouts, lease hounds and rock hounds have
been haunting the southeast extension for several DAYS past. 1t
