Ny drill will also pierce the luscious sands of
San Saba County.
In a few days now / will spud in the first of a
series of wells l plan to drill in this marvellous shall
low field.
San Saba County is no gamble-high grade oil is
being produced there now at depths of from TOO to
1000 feet; drilling is inexpensive, production almost
certain.
So I am going to drill on my Syndicate's 3,200~
stop with one well. AS rapidly as material can be
crews will poke down hole after hole into the price

The hour for action is at hand in several oil fields.
In Crane County, on 10000 acres l will strike for
millions for my shareholders and myself.
In San Saba County, on 5000 acres, 1 will pierce
through shallow depths to almost certain produc-
ton of high grade lubricating oil.
In Kaufman County-Ah, there, too, the hour for
action is at hand.
On a 5,000-acre block of leases in Kaufman
County my "grubstake' field forces and engineers
are completing the surveys and the location for my
first test well in that promising area that bids fair
to yield production far in excess of the renowned
Mexia pool.
In Ector County 1 have secured for my Syndicate
$1,000 acres of oil and mineral leases covering ire
mendous commercial deposits of potash and possible
petroleum.
Ector County alone may yield millions for my Syn
dictate, and any day now l expect to announce that

On March "a, my units advanced in price.
In justice to those who rallied around me in this
enterprise at its inception
In view of the tremendous development program
that / am now iraugurating-
In view of the tremendous increase in the actual
physical valuation of the Syndicate's holdings, this
advance was inevitable.
Today, this very minute, as you read these lines,
the actual book value of Texia-MeXia Drilling Syndi-
cate units is nearly $500 each.
To continue selling these units at their par value
of 81 90 would be industrial suicide.
/ feel in my heart that 1 should not sell another
unit for less than $500, but acting upon the sugges-
ton of associates and the requests of present unit
holders l have made a definite allotment of 5000
units to be offered for popular subscription at S1.25
each.
This offer is positively limited to $4,000, and
when they are absorbed, no matter whether it is a
week or three weeks from this date, another sub
stantial advance in the price of units is guaranteed.
Truly, the hour for action is at hand.
Under my cooperative "grubstake" plar the cash
proceeds from the 25, 900 units offered at S1.25 each
will practically finance the present immediate de-
velopment program.
What the price of my units will be when these
$4,000 units are absorbed it is difficult to predict.
Production in San Saba County or q roaring gush-
err in Crane County or a good deal on our Ector
County potash lands should increase the value of
these units one hundred fold. The hour for action
is at hand.

The hour for action is at hand.
The tedious hours of waiting ere over-my years
of scouting and study and investigation are about to

the sun-baked reaches of the State of Texas study
ing, surveying, mapping the promising oil-bearing
areas of the greatest oil producing state in the union.
Piece by piece and detail by detail 1 have worked
out the geology of several areas that are, in my opin-
ion, the most likely gusher yielding properties in the
United States.
During my thirty years experience in the oil bust

oil field in the world. 1 have traversed Europe,
Asia and Africa, North and South America, Old

this experience / have never encountered structural

Colonel Hatfield's Unique Plan.
The How and Why of Grub
stake Units

In lieu of stated salaries or wages all the en-
pIoyes and officials of the Texas-Mexia Drilling
sharing "Grub-Stake'' plan that works out as
follows:
100, 900 units of the Syndicate have been
placed in escrow to be apportioned from time
to time to all employees, from heads of depart
ments to the humble field workers. The num-
bers of units allotted to each to be determined
by Col. B. M. Hatfield, sole trustee. according
to the value of services rendered.
These units are escrowed, not given or sold
to any employee, and the interest of each indi-
vidual in his or her escrowed units is confined
to the dividends therefrom for such time as he
or she remains a loyal employee of the Syndicate.
In the event of a workers death during en-
ployment, one-half of the dividends automatical-
ly cease and the other half reverts' to the en-
ploye's estate in perpetuity.
In the event of either total or partial dis
ability of any employee while on duty he or she
receives the full benefit of the apportioned
units.
CLASSIFICATION OF GRUBSTAKE FORCE.
Grubstake employees are divided into three
classes:
Class A-Heads of departments and Office
employees, including attorneys, chemists and
engineers, to the number of %.
Class B-Drillers and drilling crews, to the
Class C-Refners and distributors, to the
number of 16. Making a total grubstake force
of 100.
MAXIMUM ALLoTMENTs Oh GRUBsTAKE
UNITS.
Class A-one-tenth of 100, 900 units, or
10000 units.
Glass B-one-twenty-ffth of 100000 units,
or z, 800 units.
or $500 units.
PAYMENTS IN CASH.
The payments in cash to the Grubstake force
are determined by the trustee. as follows:
Class A-Living expenses.
Class B+S12.50 per month and board while
on a job.
Class C-None.
Cash payments to everybody cease when in
come from any other source reaches the amount

An Empire of Leases Being Developed
Under Co-operatiye Plan

This Texas-Mexia Drilling Syndicate has been organ
lied under a declaration of trust on file with and recorded
by the County Clerk at Groesbeck, Texas, and with my
self as sole trustee; and also recorded in Tarrant County,
Texas.
Our Syndicate is divided into 500, 900 equal beneficial
interests or units with a par value of $1.00 each, fully
paid and worcestershire. OF this amount we now offer
Our books are open to any and all of the interest hold
es at any time. A quarterly statement showing the ex-
act financial condition of the Syndicate will be mailed to
each interest holder.
From any income which the Syndicate may have, 10
per cent will be held as a reserve, and the remaining 80
per cent less actual operating expense will be paid in divi-
dends, these dividends to be declared as often as profits
are earned.
These dividends will De distributed on the following
plan:
The drilling crew that completes the first producer for
possible profits, will receive dividends on the basis of
$4,000 worth of units each, and l will receive dividends
on $1,000 of the units.
The units on which the working members of our or
ganizaton and / will receive dividends will not be our
private property, but will be held in escrow by the bank
and we will receive only the profits earned by these units.
AS more wells are completed and more working members
Of the Syndicate begin to share in the profits, the number
of escrowed units on which each will draw dividends will
be decreased. The total amount of these escrowed units
on which the working members of the organization and
of our total capitalization. This plan-the only one of its
kind ever worked out-assures that the investors who
furnish the capital and the workers who actually create
the values and make possible the profits, will both share
in the profits of the Syndicate, and 1t also assures the
quick and continued success of this enterprise, and espe-
cially does 1t insure the maximum of effort and efficiency
in operation of the minimum of expense.
