OIL
To Prospective Investors:
Many arc familiar with the largo returns from successful oil operations. 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. ' " (

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. The rain
fall during the past month has been
the heaviest in many years and serious
damage to crops is reported in several
districts. Train service has been in
terrupted on nearly all lines and the
isolation of several towns was com
pleted when telegraphic communica
tions were cut, due to storms. So far
as is now known there was no loss
