frequent visitor, and seemed to en-
Joy those evenings best, when few
others were our guests.
When many we're present he said
little; taking no apparent interest
in what was going on about him.
His favorite seat-in fact the only
one I ever saw him occupy-was a
bench against a partition, at right
angles with the stone fireplace, and
close to it. There he would sit
gazing into the fire, and, as I have
said, when he had a small audience
he told us stories of his eventful
life in the Rockies, that held US
spellbound, and kept two little boys
who were in bed on the other side
of the thin partition, awake until
the stories were ended.
lanes Stuart was not a hand
some, but an unusual looking man.
He had the rugged features denot-
ing his Scotch ancestry. He wore
a heavy beard and mustache, as l
remember him, from which came
his Indian name of Long Beard.
His was the Celtic combination of
blue eyes and dark hair, the latter
straight as an Indians and wore
longer than was then the fashion,
framed his face, and accumulated
its peculiarities-a face once seen,
not to be forgotten.
It was reported that he had an
Indian wife, and this, at first pre-
JUDGED us against him, as "squaw
men" were not regarded f%avorably.
But one could not know James
Stuart we'll and not respect him.
do not remember his ever referring
to his early life in the East, and it
was many years before [ learned
that he was born in Harrison Co.,
Virginia, March IA, 1882, and lat
er lived in Illinois, then in Iowa,
when that state might have been
said to belong to the Indians.
In 1849 the elder Stuart went to
California, and three years later
made a second trip there, taking
with him his two sons, James and
Granville, and returning to Iowa,
left the boys in California. There
they engaged in different occupa-
tions, and managed to make a liv-
ing. In the second Rogue River
and Modoc war of 1855, they
served as California volunteers,
and narrowly escaped being killed
at its outbreak.
Becoming homesick in the spring
of 1857, the two brothers planned
to return east, leaving Yreka, Cal
ifornia, June 18th, with a party of
nine others. On reaching Malad
creek about the middle of July,
Granville was taken sick. The
party waited there for ten days.,
hoping Granville would recover.
AS he failed to do so by that time,
of their number went on.
By the time Granville was able to
travel, the Mormons had all the
roads closed both east and west,
and arrested those who attempted
to go either way; the feeling
against the Gentiles having been in
creased by the approach of the IN
tied States troops.
Unable to go east or west, the two
brothers decided to go north. That
winter they spent in the Beaver
head valley and on the Bighoe. The
time was passed in visiting the diff
camps and in hunting; James
generally acting as hunter.

IN URING the session of the

The person who thinks
back, remembering the pictures of
those he has seen in the papers in
connection with sudden fortunes in
oil will recall that almost invariably
1t was a man who OWNED LAND
on an oil structure. Quite frequent

spending money, the landowner is
RECEIVING MONEY. His is the
SUDDEN WEALTH OF THE OIL
INDUSTRY.
ct The reason is this: when
the landowner leases his land to an
oil operator he reserves the right
to tewIve and one-haIf barrels of oil
out of every 100 barrels produced on
his farm. The lease guarantees that
mbauever fha onerator brings 100

q Tt would fellow that there
are two ways to participate in the
wealth that oil brings. One is to
buy a farm on an oil structure and
wait until it is drilled. That is be-
yond the realm of possibility for the
average person who is anxious to
make his savings earn more than six
or eight per cent. The alternative is
to GO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
THE LANDOWNER. That is made
possible by investment in LAND
OWNERS ROYALTIES buying
from landowners who have farms on
oil fields.
q We have some remnants of
three offerings involving wildcat
royalties in the vicinity of produc-
ton and in likely large producing
areas. They involve investments of
from $50, SIS and 500. The man
who is willing to gamble small sums
or royalties such as these is likely
to emerge with substantial profits,
with the further development of the
field. 1T is our experience that clients
who have preferred this sort of in
misunderstanding small sums cover

We have some remnants of these offerings
as much territory as possible-are the ones who are
drawing down the largest royalty checks. 1T was not
long ago when royalties on every one of the big pro-
ducing farms in the Shoshone group, including the
Storm permit, were going begging, with no takers.
There are other equally good properties in
Kevin-Sunburst. 1t is a matter of buying royalties
ahead of the drill and waiting for the drill to tell the
story. The investor who wishes information regarding
the best opportunities now offered can do no better
than to use the attached inquiry blank, writing name
and address plainly.
