JOIN A WI5NBIL Tae time was a few years ago that the Oil Trust practloally controlled a part pf the department of justice and the Interior department. It still has many so-called reformers In all parties and In all factions, of all parties In the United States. However, this company hss been built up In Kansas, surrounded and protected, by the real square deal men of the West, who first demand and then fight. If necessary, for the real right. THE ONLY ABSOLUTELY I.NDIII'KNDUNT COMPANY IN TUB MIDDLE WIS ST. The managers at the head of the company know the ell business from start to finish. They know tbat with sufficient capital now to drill and equip 400 to too more oil wells and anlarge and complete our main trunk pipe lines and refineries and delivery stations that this com pany can, within six months after completion, pay the stockholders from 11.000,009 to 22,000,000 per year, and at the same time be a great' blesilng to the general public. LB A flRtl IN LINE POIl Bill PRODUCTION. Even while you are reading over this announcement the drills may bring in a fortune-making oil well. After years of experience In th oil fields over (2.0U0) twenty seven thousand acres of oil gas leases In big blocks have Jee secured by this company. These leases can be Ivlded up Into twenty-four divisions. We have already developed oil and are producing from seven divisions. Upon these seven big divisions, where oil Is already de veloped, there Is room for about 20) wells. Think of ill With crude oil at 11.02 per barrel and It Is actually worth about 11.40 per barret to our refineries, according to grade and with our refineries Inoreased and a big ?ihs like oompleted, this company, at a refining cost ot rem 30 cents to 20 cents per barrel, can sell on a stesdy market a market right here In the homo stales of the Middle West their refined products so as to bring the oomeany from 21.86 to IIM a barrel. As stated before, this Is the only absolutely Inde pendent company in the Middle West The public is well aesiuatstted with persecution heaped on this com year by political grafting would-be reformers who have tried to kilt this company (but were licked) In the In terest of the Oil Trust. The people know when they resd by the light ot Uncle Sam oil that they are not aiding the Oil Trust In lta combination with the Invisible government. The twenty-four oil divisions which constitute our 17,000 acres of oil gaa leases, as stated -oerore, are In line with great producers. Any day our drills may develop aome of our big lessee Into regular mints. These twenty four divisions In many plaoes are close up to the greatest ell pools In the Oklahoma fields. On some of these leases we bars drilled soma of the great oil wells ourselves. We had one well In Pawnee' county start at over 400 barrels (It was reported by our enemies as an RW-barrel well.) Another on the same lease started at 700 barrets (It was reported by our enemies as starting at (1,000) three thou- sM)A feftlTftlf') Our twenty-four divisions, covering the 27.000 acres ot ell and gaa leases, are situated about as follows: OSAGK COUNTY 4,130 ACRKS, DIVIDED INTO FOUR DIVISIONS.

This well was 2.W7 feet deep. An other well where formations were lower was drilled about 3,200 feet. But our Well was the pioneer to well ana penetrated .the formations deeper, as they were about too feet higher In our district.

Also over 27,000 acres of oil and ess leases situated In bit; blocks in the five great oil counties of Oklahoma and a splendid fighting chance to protect our great Osage oil and gas lease of 410,000 acres. "We are now operating six drills. Have sufficient oil production to operate three to four drills, but we should have thirty to forty drills In operation right now and to start them and open up our 27,000 acres of oil and g-aa leases where we should develop several rich oil pools that should produce millions this old established company has doubled Its capital stock and will offer It, so as to net the company about two million dol who can easily remit ISOO to 20.000. With this practical proposition and your remittance with others may open one of these great rich pools. All ot the about acres of oil and gas leasee In Pawnee county are In be tween the greatest oil pools In Oklahoma. The great Oasxe gushers are on the north and the northeast. The great Cushlng field lust south and southwest. The Glenn pool and the big fields around Tulsa are on the east and the southeast. Three of these Pawnee county divisions contain about 1,000 acres each and extend In one chain of leases about six and a half miles from the northeast to the south west. These three divisions are right In between the great Osage gushers on the northeast and the great wells In the Cushlng field on the southwest. The Bartlesvllle sand goes In a southwest direction across Oklahoma. The big oil pool In this Bartlesvllle sand are nearly north and south. The greatest staying oil wells ara in this Bsrtlesville sand. Ho far In the great Cushlng field, on account of the good wells In the shal low sands, the operators delayed testing the deep Bartles vllle production. However, about the time this com pany started a deep test on Its big lease In Pawnee county other operators started for the deep wells In the north part ot the great Cushlng field. Our deep well Is now down 2,S0 feet (over half a mile.) We have just drilled Into the top ot the Bartles vllle sand. We should strike the deep Bartlesvllle pro duction at about 2,725 feet. The drillers are now setting the caslnirt Another few days wilt see this well com pleted. We have developed the formations. Have a ahowlng of oil, and If we do not get a btr well we know results aro sure near by, and we have a chain of leases as before stated, consisting of threo of our Pawnee county divisions, extending six and a half miles from ths northeast to tho southwest. Our big lease lies just about halt way between the deep Bartlesvllle wells m tho Cushlng district and tho great gushers In the Osage. These three districts In Pawnee county, when de veloped, should produce 22.000,000 to 14.000,000 Of oil In the ti-rt ihr.. veara or nroduca a sum twice as great as all the entire 200,000,000 shares of stock will come to at 1 cent er share the price you can join wun our bvucr iohlera under this Investment opportunity. The first money paid In will be used in starting four or five deep tests over thts great acreage, any one ot which may start at from 2,000 to 4,000 barrels per day. But It takes the cash to drill these test wells and we desire to put (40) forty drills In operation, and while our production is snlendld. It will not run over three or four drills, and to properly develop our great oil and gas leases we must push ahead with thirty to forty drills. Ho we give you and others this opportunity to Join our 12,000 stockhold ers on a ground floor, solid and conservative basis, with an organisation that has stood the storm of persecution and won every battle and now with the new year, with Its battle flags unfurled for victory, Is going ahead to certain success and Is sure of the aid and good will of right thinking people everywhere, and during the next six to twelve months will place all the new capital with good cltlsens so as to put Into actual construction at iSt000-.??4 on. t0P. of our alroady groat property. This 12.000.000 will make this company stronger and far mors Influential In the Middle West states than any Oil Trust combination. . The oil business Is the real live wire Industry In the United fHates today. Join a winner. You now have the opportunity to put a few hundred or a few thousand dol lars Into this stock and help drive the Uncle Sam drills at these favored locations. As stated before, the Bartlesvllle ssnd goes In a southwest direction, but the big oil pools line up nearly north and south. The great usage gushers are about seven miles northeast of our big Pawnee county leases and are on tho east side of range 7. Three of our Paw nee county divisions, where we have one drill already in the cap rock of production, are on the east side and center of range 7, The big wells In the same Bartlesvllle formation In the Cushlng field am a little west of the center ot range 7. A straight line drawn from the Osage gushers In the Bartlesvllle sand to the Bartlesvllle sand gushers In the north part of the Cushlng field will go right through the center ot three of our Pawnee county divisions for over five miles. These are the properties the new capttal will develop. Our company Is established. It Is the pioneer refining company ot the Oklahoma-Kansas oil fields. Do not wait until wide-awake, patriotic Investors secure all the stock under this ofTer and until thirty to torty'drllls are In operation on the twenty-four divisions In this great oil field, but hurry In your order at once. Start the new year right. This stock will soon go. Only 1400,000 will be ac cepted at this offer, Eight hundred investors at two each will take all of this offer. There are many that will remit 22,600 and 15,000. This proposition is practical, and there are a dosen good prospects on our 27,000 acres that could, develop mora oil tn the next two years than all the stock will oomo to at 1 cent per share. 7 "he company at this hour Is at work on tour deep s In Pawnee county, any one of which may start at from 300 to 2,000 barrels each. To give you an Idea or what our big Pawnee county leases might do, wo pro duce hereafter reports on the Osage gushers anj the Cushlng big wells just completed In the Bartloavllle sand In range 7. The Ossge gushers are about seven miles northeast ot our big Pawnoe county leases. Thts report on the Osage gushers was published In the fead'ag papers of the Southwest November 19 and Is as folio n-s: "WORLD'S GRISAT OIL FIELD. 166-Acre Lease Near Cleveland Produces 33,060 Barrels a Dnr TULSA.

The lease consists of 180 acres and was sold for 12,500 a little more than a year ago. It could not be bought now under 22,000,000 and very likely the owners would not part with It at this high figure." The Bsrtlesville wells just completed in the Bartles vllle sand In the Cushlng field are about eight miles southwest ot the southwest corner of our chain of three Pawnee county divisions. The report published In an Oil Trust paper at Tulsa on December 22 Is as follows; "At Cashing That the Bartlesvllle ummi Is the real thing Is aasplr Illustrated by the showlas; made ay the Producers' Oil Company rreil the Mcintosh farm In aeetlon 3, township 17. range 7.

Kemember this fact all great oil pools have been a few miles apart. Our claims of three Pawnee oounty lease divisions ara situated right. Just about half way between tne gusners at cushlng and Osage. We have already got the Bartlesvllle sand. There Is a showing or on. wo are sure or big production in tne present sura of blr welt or nearby locations. We do not have the space to go Into detail on our ether great leases In Pawnee county. The company has paid out for oil lands, leases and development In Pawnee county about 2260.000. By push Ing ahead during the next six or eight months we should develop our Pawnee properties Into millions. The prop erty now back or the stock you will secure Is about three to one tn your favor. You cannot lose and can easily ssoure a gain or from ten to twenty times. CltBRK COUNTY ABOUT F.OOO ACIIKS, DIVIDED INTO SIX DIVISIONS. All around our Creek county leases there are from three to live oil and gas sands above the deep Mississippi lime formation. The great Olenn pool and the splendid producers In the Okmulgee district are east and south east of our big acreage In Creek oounty. The great Cushlng field Is west and northwest. The OH Trust has leased up thousands of acres In the south and south west and all around us. A part of the great Osage field Is north and northeast. Like all ths properties ot the Uncle Ham Oil Company our Creek county oil and gas leases are located right. We should have at least nve drills running in that county at this tlms. Many wells drilled near our leases havs developed good sands and some good production. We helped to drill one Important well In Creek oounty and can easily Join with other neighbors and In a short time test our greet properties situated in big blocks In that great oil producing county. There Is yet room for other Olenn pools In Creek county. It will be hard to develop one without reaching Into some of the Uncle Sam leases. TULSA COUNTY ABOUT 3,000 ACRES, 5 DIVISIONS. In Una with a new field just developed near Owasso, this company has about 800 acres. Big gas wells are near on the north, one within 2.000 feet. An old well was drilled and abandoned when the Oil Trust was steal ing oil under carpet bag rule in Oklahoma developed about ten-barrel well which Is near on the west, showing a good thickness ot sand. This company will soon start one or two drills in this district. The production Is shallow and the wells can be drilled quickly and at small expenoo. The company already has a pipe line completed within four miles of this big lease. Within three miles of our Tulsa refinery we have twenty-six oil and gas wells. There are many shallow leases for sale In this district and being so close to our refinery are valuable. The company has about 160 lo cations It oan drill In the shallow and Red Fork sand. This oil Is worth a big bonus to our Tulsa refinery. Ona oil Is rich In gasoline and the other lubricating oil. uy development the company can easily develop and sell over gl ,000,000 worth of oil from our leases within t miles of our Tulsa refinery. We have completed four teen producers and one failure. In that district within the last ninety days. The company should keep ten drills in operation In that district until at least 160 more shal low and Red Fork wells are completed. We now have two deep wells In this district In the cap rock of pro duction that will soon be completed. This Is a field that Is sure tor high grade oil In Ilia shallow and Red KorK sand and rich with small rich pools In stray sands that are liable to develop In any sand deeper down. Tulsa, like Pawnee county, has made millions for oil operators and this company with Its refineries has the inside track and can make from 25 cents to 75 cents per barrel more than any producer. Near the center west side of Tulsa county on a direct line between the Olenn pool and the Osage gushers the company owns two oil farms of 480 acres each, about three miles apart. Both ot these oil farms are located right. Production all around them. This land Is owned In fee. This company is preparing tor tho future and now has lands and leases which, when developed, should produce from 6.000 to 10.000 barrels per day for thirty to fifty years. While we have many leases that might tor a whflo do this much dally alone when developed. The company has paid out for pipe linos, refinery, leases and lands, wells and development about 1400,000 In Tulsa oounty and should Increase this Investment dur ing the next year to at least 11,000,000. There should be 1400.000 go Into new oil wells and 1200,000 go Into a lubri cating plant and Increasing the Tulsa Uncle 8am refinery and additional 'shallow territory leases which aro mucn more valuable to our company than any one else, and therefore easily secured.

But when the public knows the facts there will be a few more Foraker and Joe Bailey statesmen out of a Job. A part or the memorial filed before congress will give you ah Idea ot the magnitude or the Uncle Sam Oil Company's fight ror right. Tho following taken from the printed report ot the hearing of the committee on Indian alTalrs ot tha last congress pages 42, 43 and 44 are as follows: "THE OIL AND OAS TRUST." The Standard OH Company and the United Gas A Improvement Company belong to the same group or financiers and constitute what la known as the OH and Uas Trust. Some years ago United Oss "A Improvement Com pany organized a. subsidiary company known as the Kan sas Natural Oaa Company, and In the name of this com. pany constructed a pipe line for the transportation or natural gas, which pipe line extends from Oklahoma through the eastern portion of Kansas and western por tion of Missouri, and has been supplying natural Has for fuel and lights to Kansas City, St. Joseph and Joplln, tn the state of Missouri, and Kansas City, Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka, Lawrence. Ottawa, Oar nett. Independence, Wichita, Hutchinson, Columbus, Oswego, Fort Scott, Olathe, Pittsburg and many ottiet ottles In the state or Kansas. In most ot the cities 11 organized a separate subsidiary corporation In whos Coyotes May Make Trip to Los Angeles guarantee by Occidental college of Los Angeles sufficient to make such a trip financially possible.

Its said customers In said manner for several years ana has received a very large Income therefrom, which hss almost. If not fully, amounted to the cost of the original Investment. For some time past United OaS sc Improve ment Company and lta officers and subsidiary companies have formed a criminal conspiracy to relieve said bub sldlary companies from the obligations Of their franchise contracts and to Increase the price to be paid by tha cities and their. Inhabitants for natural gas for fuel and lights In violation ot said contracts; that recently, ana In pursuance of said conspiracy, they have secured the appointment ot friendly receivers for the Kansas Natural Uas Compsny, said appointment being made Dy Judge John C. Pollock ot the United States district court tor the district cf Kansas; that said Judge appointed as re ceivers for said company Eugene Mackle, president ot the company, and Qeorge F. Sharltt and Conway F. Holmes: that said receivers were the selection ot said company to carry out Its suggestions with a view to ac. compllshlng said conspiracy to violate said franchise con tracts and arbitrarily Increase the price to be paid by the people for said natural gas; that the contract price between said cities and said subsidiary corporations who obtained franchises required the gaa to be furnished to the Inhabitants at from X cents to 30 cents per thousand aubla feet; that said price is a reasonable price sufficient tc enable said Oas Trust to earn large profits. Nothwlth stsndlng this fact, said Oas Trust recently obtained an order from said Judge John C. Pollock that all of tha natural gas furnished to said subsidiary companies must be psld for at prices very much as excess ot'the fran chise price and thtt, unless paid for at such excesstva price, said Kansas Natural Oas Company receivers should shut oft the supply or natural gas from the peo ple In all or said cities refusing to pay the Inoreased price. Said order was made In mid-winter, when thou sands ot families were depending entirely ura natural gas supplied by said concern for fuel to heat their homes and had gone to large expense to equip their homes for the use ot said fuel; that the Oas Trust also secured the appointment of friendly receivers for the subsldlaty company having tho franchise contract with the city or Kansas City, Mo., and appears to be able to use tn United States district court for the district of Kansas In furtherance of tho conspiracy to arbitrarily raise the price of natural gas to alt pf said people, and Is mak ing its unlawful, exorbitant and piratical demand, backed by an order of said court, at a time when the people are helpless and when they cannot exercise a free choice as to whether they will submit to the extortionate price de manded by the trust for fear that they will suffer from ClThe conspiracy of said Oas Trust, Its officers, re ceivers, and all who assist It In arbitrarily raising the price of natural gas, is a direct violation ot the criminal section of tho Sherman antl-trust law. and the con spirators should be prosecuted, convicted, and confined in prison. No use of a federal court should shield them from deserved punishment. 4 If congress will Immediately validate tha Osage oil and gas leases set out in the bill now pending, the Unola Ram Oil Company can immediately develop on , said leased land an adequate supply or natural gas and can by agreement with the Osage national counoll furnish said gas to the receivers for the Kansas Matural Oss Company at the wells In the Osage nation at a price which any honest court will decide will enable said re ceivers to furnish gas to lta patrons In compliance with the franchise 'contracts and be able at said price to comply with the contracts it has made with the- various consumers and make a reasonable profit. It will not pa necessary for any court to order the receivers for tn Kansas Natural Oas Company to attempt to violate any contracts It has made fixing the price ot natural gas 'TheSeases1" provide that no gas shall be piped out Ot Osage county, but since the leases were drawn and executed the unexpected and unlocked for Opposition from the interior department has persuaded the Osage Indians that it Is to their advantage to have the leases validated, and they are willing to allow gas to be piped out of Osage county provided a reasonable price Is paid at the well and provided there Is a surplus supply ot gSs above the amount needed In Osage county. It appears to be the clear object and InUnt .Of the Oil and Gas Trust arbitrarily to raise the price of gas upon all the people It Is supplying to about ft cents Per thou sand cubic feet and then to secure a renewal of the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Company lease on the 680,000 acres of the Osage Indian reservation in whlchtt has control of the gas and secure control of the re mainder of the Osage Indian reservation and then supply tha people with natural gas for cooking purpose! i and lights at about 75 cents per thousand cubic feet. About 2O0.000.0CO cublo feet per day could be used by the PoPls in the territory covered by the pipe lines or the trust ir It could seoure 75 cents per thousand feet. It would t. securing more than 40 cents per thousand In excess of its cont?aa rate? and U it could sell 2W.000.ooo cubic feet per day, an excess profit of 40 cents . per ousand cubic feet would amount to an excess profit of ISO.OUO per day. which would amount to 129,200,000 per year. It is safe to say that said supply of natural gaa could be ob tained from that Osage Indian reservation for the next ten years at least, and It this scheme can be carried out. It would mean an excess profit above a reasonable profit of 1292.000,000 to tho Oas. Trust. The Uncle Mam Oil Company has been striving to have Its lease with the Osage national council approved so that it could develop tho territory. It bellevea that said l territory Is rich. In oil and gaa; that It could have from said leased premises a source ot supply of erude oil for many years to come and that it could develop an enormous supply of natural gas, and If the Kansas Nat ural Oas Company should retuse to pay ror .ne res in excess or the needs of the, Osage county a reasonable price at the wells, it could lay a pipe line and become a competitor or the Kansas Natural Oas Company Mn supplying said cities with natural gas and not only make I pn . for its stockholders, but become a blessing to the thousands of people who are now commanded by the Gas Trust to stand and deliver In the tlead ot winter. Dut the Unele Sam Oil Company has been" harassed by every device known tb the Oil Trust and haa mat with the constant, persistent, unreasonable, unjust and un warranted opposition of the Interior department."
