"> paint that may be applied to plaster walls, smooth or

FLATCOTE’S greatest economy is the fact that

SCHOOL GROUNDS HIT IN
FINE SHAPE ON ARBOR DAY
While the majority of our citizens
were engaged in road construction in
Shoshone canyon on Arbor Day, some
twenty other good men and true bus- I
led themselves with the school
grounds cleanup, which was part of
the day’s program of civic improve
ment.
The east portion of the grounds at
the new school building was plowed,
leveled and put in shape to be sown
in grass seed. The dead and dying
trees were removed and new ones
set in their places, trees also being
set along the north side of the
grounds. The premises were cleared
of stones and rubbish, the unsightly
pile of dirt was removed from the
grounds, twining poles and swings
were erected and at the close of the
day the grounds presented a very at
tractive and renovated appearance.
Four teams, one truck and spades
and shovels too numerous to mention
were employed throughout the day.
The city pa« k also came in for some
improvements in the form of setting
new trees in. place of ihose which had
despaired of earthly existence.

LARGE OIL COMPANY
Organized with Small Capital
READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER AND SEE HOW THE PARAMOUNT
PETROLEUM SYNDICATE WAS ORGANIZED
' Thermopolis, Wyoming, April 15th, 1922.
Mr. Lee H. Barton, . (
Elk Basin, Wyoming.
Dear Lee:
We have grouped together some acreage so well located that ! honestly
believe the law of average will take care of us.
Many years ago the United States Government withdrew from oil loca
tion and entry an oil structure that they believed had value for same up in
Washakie County, Wyoming, and Chas. LuptoiT, a geologist then on the gov
ernment Geological staff, named it “Bud Kimball,” I suppose after Bud Kim
ball Creek that crosses the structure. The structure being withdrawn, it
was not until the leasing bill had been passed on February 28, 1920, regulat
ing the way in which a lease could be prospected with any degree of certain
ty as to title.
Some local men who had worked on this structure, and who had watched
the action of Congress from day to day while the bill was being passed, sailed
out to the ground on the afternoon of February 20th, 1920, and posted a no
tice thereon which gave them prior right over all other applicants, they being
first.
Although these men saw the opportunity to make themselves rich, they
were not financially able to go on the land and drill an oil well, so during the
time their attorneys in Washington were getting their permit through they
. looked around for a substantial operator to develop their property for them.
By our long friendship with these men, they brought their proposition to us.
Os course, the drilling of the test well is not such a burdensome task, as C.
D. Markham agrees to furnish everything and drill the hole through all the
oil bearing sands for $24,000.00, but, of course, you know it will be necessary
to spend more money than that. For instance, you will recall that when I
first entered the Hamilton Dome field, which had only one well on it at that
time, there was spent on our property more than $100,000.00 before our re
turns began to come in. In mentioning Hamilton Dome, I don’t want you to
think lam comparing it with "Bud Kimball.” First, the oil sands in Hamit
ton Pome are more than twice as deep and more than three times as expens
ive to reach as those in "Bud Kimball.” Second, we only had 160 acres ip
Hamilton Dome, and there is 1800 acres on the structure in Bud Kimball.
Markham thinks so well of this that he offered to drill the hole personal
ly, in order to play as safe as one can in the oil business. We have sent
Bruce Murphy,, a local geologist who has been on the Geological Staff of the
Ohio Oil’Company to work out the structure and give us an unbiased report
on it. Taking for granted as we do that his report will be favorable.
Now, Lee, the following is a synopsis of "Bud Kimball”: We have sent
ly the entire structure offered to us on a 12% % royalty. Markham will
drill a test well, furnishing everything, for a flat sum of $24,000.00- If .vie
get oil, the proposition is big enough to make a lot of men all the money
they want.
. .We also have offered us on a 12}1.% royalty 640 acres in the ..heart of
iiurphy Dome, and when I say "heart" I do not mean to one side, as most
"hearts” are, but this acreage is right square on top. There is a gas well on
the property now, which was drilled by the Ohio Oil Company.
Since the gas well, which is estimated to make over 3,000,000 cubic feet
4 day, was drilled right on top of the structure, and the gas contains a large
per cent of gasoline, it is reasonable to assume, as predicted by prominent
geologists, that farther down on the flank of the structure large flows of oil
will be encountered. This structure will take care of itself, and we do not
need to spend any money developing.
We have secured an assignment of a government permit on 800 acres in
the Lost Soldier oil field on a 12*4% royalty. This field is attracting more
attention at this time than any district along the Union Pacific. 1 talked to
Mr. E. R. Good, an oil operator from Rawlins and he told me that the Lost
Soldier field looked like another Salt Creek to him. There are oil wells on
the west, to the south, to the east, and gas wells to the east of our acreage.
It is from this district that the proposed pipe line into Denver will secure
its gas. It is now supplying gas to the town of Casper and the Casper refin
eries. The oil pipe line leads from this district to the town of Fort Steel.
I honestly believe, Lee, that when you have had time to go into this pro
position thoroughly that this is a proposition seldom found, and one which
wfe cannot only make some money for ourselves out of, but we can acquire
here the greatest asset a man can have—FßlENDS—lasting friends of those
who join us in this enterprise.
As you mentioned in our previous conversation that you wished Terry E.
Barefield at Elk Basin to join us, I will suggest that you immediately get in
touch with him, as I consider him a capable oil operator which will make him
a wonderful man for this organization. Woodie and I agree with you that
it is not necessary for us to hold out only promotion stock, because if "Bud
Kimball” comes in as good as predicted our personal 160 acres on the struc
ture will make us all the money we need, which we will divide with you.
This proposition is as clean as a hound’s tooth, and I can see no reason
why we cannot build up a perfect and profitable oil company. If this appeals
to you, move fast, as the iron is hot.
Yours very truly,
RAY PHEBUS.
No promotion stock issued or will be issued.
No salaries paid or will be paid until production is secured.
This Syndicate owns 1800 acres in Bud Kimball anticline which is near
ly the entire structure.
800 acres in the Lost Soldier field; this is a proven structure.
600 acres in the center of Murphy Dome with gas well in center of acre
age.
