The fortunes that have been made arc fabulous and no greater have been made thau will be made in the near future. There is a chance f or a number of Oregon men to join in a ground-floor proposition. A lease lias boon secured in a positively proven field. Oil wells now producing border the lease. The oil in this field is high grade, selling at present at 73 cents more for each barrel than other oils. It is in a field that requires a 2800-foot depth to reach the oil sand, and the .wells are pronounced long-lived. Pipe lines are in and market is positive a$ soon as oil is struck. To those who would like to invest, hero are a few things to be remembered things that are seldom obtainable in oil investments: First. Tho field is time. Second. This is not a company to sell stock, but a chance for a number of people to pool capital and put down a well, benefitting from what returns como irom the venture. Tliird. Tho lease and drilling will bo under 'supervision of a man who has had years of experience in the oil business and, has drilled in some of the best wells in the field. He is a man thoroughly honest and is known to Eastern ! Oregon people, capable of giving references thnt would satisfy anyone. He is financially interested now and will givy the work his individual attention. Fourth. All money invested will bp) placed jn an Oregon bank and perfect accounting will be kept, rendering statements at all times. Fifth. No salaries are to be paM cicept for the labor in drilling the well and no expense will confront the investment except the essential expense ne cessary to the drilling and the lease as it is developed. If you have ever had an inclination to invest in oil you could get no better, opportunity than this ground-floor proposition,' for it will be handled by people who are reliable in every way. - Usually the investor buys stock in a company not knowing its officers, its manager and unmindful of oil experience of anyono connected. In this case there are no officers at present, for this is an invita tion to peopic wno lonestly want to drill for oil to come into, an investment which will be officered later and orgr n'zed In whatever way those now invest ing sec fit. The drill is at hand, ready to work', but it will not lie moved on the lease until $20,000 is secured, for there is no intention of having a half-drille'd well. If you feel interested and want to ji-in square people in an effort to mate money out of oil, now.is your opportunity. ' "The oil field is one of the big prodin ing sections pf the mitt-cMitincnt field. II is noexperiment and no one is asked to assist in bringing in a new oil zone, itb oil being prodjictd iii large quantities adjojnin this lense, with pipe lines in, the only chance, that is being'tnken. is to drill in an fil well, wlfich certainly "hulks nire than promising when the surpoiiBdinrs arc considered, Please address, fijaling the amount yon are n illingto invest.

The hospital has now been turned over to the city health de purtment. MINING FOR OPALS I MEXICO HAS BEEN REVIVED QUERETARO, Mexico, Aug, 0. Ogul mining in this district, an indus try as yet untouched by foreign capi tal, has shown renewed, activity with the cloe of the war and a normal number of men wijl soon be at work The Queretaro district for more than 60 years had furnished virtually all of the opals in the republic, most of tho vnluablo gems going to dealers in Mexico City who in turn ship them to the United States. Primitive methods are still used here to secure the gems Dynamito is used to blnst the gems from the ground. After the rock is broken into sizeable pieces it is taken to the shops for the grinding and pol ishing processes. Modern methods am not used, the rough stones merely be ing placed on spindles and applied tn an ordinary grindstone worked by footpower. Vigorous rubbing on soft leather is the last step in completing an opal for the market. HEAVY RAINS DO MUCH DAMAGE IN OLD MEXICO MEXICO CITY, Aug. 6.
