OF 1929 shares of the Mammoth

Teapot Dome naval oil reserves IN
Wyoming, resulted in decision by
the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals at st. Louis in September
annulIing the lease after a previous
ruling IA favor OF H. r. Sinclair
and associates, was sold at the auc-
ton rooms OF Adrian H, Muller s
Sons for $4,000. or approximately
III cents a share.
The transaction aroused special
interest in financial circles mas
much an 1t was announced only a
few weeks ago that none of the
stock was held by the public. The
Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corpora
ton Is understood to have had a

moth OH Company, whose shares
were first introduced to Wall Street
four years ago by Jesse Livermore
Since the decision annulling the
Teapot Dome lease, counsel for the
Sinclair interests have petitioned
the Supreme Court for a review
Of the case. There was never any
public offering Of the Mammoth
oil shares, but it was actively
traded in at one time on the Curb,
selling above $50 a share. There
were 100000 Class A shares is.
