Whether or not the company actually owns the property, or whether the land is merely leased or held by option. Whether the company owns sufficient land to enable it to bore wells should one well run dry. Whether the company is equipped with proper boring machinery, and whether the men in charge of the drilling are experienced and competent, and whether they are actually at workor whether it will be necessary to walt a year or two or more before the manufacturers will be able to fill an order for drilling machinery. Whether the officers and directors of the company are successful and substantial business men, or whether they are merely promoters or "schemers." Whether the company's property is accessible by rail or water. The BEAUMONT GEYSER OIL COMPANY of Beaumont, Tex., has every element of success in its favor. The more one looks into the proposition here offered the more he will be convinced as to the truth of this statement. PRODUCING WELLS ALL AROUND. He will find that the holdings of this company are in the heart of the Beaumont oil district, that oil has been struck on adjoining property, that the land is but a short distance from the great Lucas Gusher on Spindle Top Heights, and that it is on a direct line between twenty producing wells and the oil pool in the Gulf of Mexico to the south. That oil is actually seepIng up on the surface in a number of places on the land of this company, and that all the maps made by geologists (previous to the striking of the first Texas gusher) show the greatest oll indications right on the Beaumont Geyser Ol Co.'s property. OWNS 2,900 ACRES. Investigation will show Beaumont that the Geyser Oil Co OWNS in fee simple title 2,900 acres ont of what is known as the Hillebrand and Corzine Leagues, just below the present Beaumont gushers. That the land is entirely paid for and is free from all incumbrance. Copious supplies of oil will doubtless be found wherever wells are sunk on this land, and the quantity will be practically limitless-compared at least with that of companies digging on smalt plots of ground of from 1-16 of an acre in area up. OWNS BEST WELL MACHINERY. The first well is now being sunk on the prop erty of the Beaumont Geyser Oil Co. At the present writing the well is down about 400 feet. Gushers have been struck at an average depth of 1,200 feet. The machinery here used IS "rigged up" to bore 2,000 feet deep, and it is capable of going down still deeper. It is the product of the American Well Works, of Aurora. Il, and is considered by experts the best dritt ing machinery made. UNEXCELLED TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES. No property in this section is better situated as to transportation facilities. The Hillebrand river, which bounds the land on the east, and which leads to the Gulf of Mexico, is navigable up to the pumping station. And the Gulf & Interstate railroad, which touches the northwest corner, connects with eight Important lines, affording direct connections with the leading oil markets. LARGE INCOME FROM RICE ALSO. The whole of this 2,900 acres is the best of rice land. Nearly $50,000 has been spent In developing this feature alone, 1,000 acres are now planted with rice. Next year about 2,500 acres will be planted. The crop should yield an average of not less than $30 an acre net. fund alone will enable the company to pay 7% per cent dividend on the par value of the stock. So, even leaving the oll feature out of consideration, stock in the Beaumont Geyser Oll Co. This must be considered a positively safe Investment. are: President-W. S. Goodell, capitalist, Des Moines, Iowa. Vice-President-T. M. Richardson, wholesale lumberman, Oklahoma City, Okla. Second Vice-President-L. W. Campbell, general attorney for the Texas Central railroad, Waco, Tex. Secretary-F. W. Smith, president Meadowbrook Cotton Mills, Houston, Tex. Treasurer-W. W.

Attention is here called to the fact that most of the stock of this company has been sold to bankers and merchants in the immediate vicinity of Beaumont, who are fully acquainted with the oil proposition in general and with the_proposition of the Beaumont Geyser Oll Co. The first man to buy stock, in fact, is a resident of Beaumont-Mr. J. F. Weed, chief engineer G. B. & K. C. R. R. His purchase was 1,000 shares. Another Beaumont stockholder is W. S. Davidson, president First National Bank, his interest being 65,000 shares. Among other large shareholders in this section are: J. I. Campbell, of Houston, Texas, wholesale lumberman and banker. 25,000 shares; C. F. Smith, cashier First National Bank at McGregor, Tex., 25,000 shares; Webb & Hill, Albany, Tex., bankers and merchants, 27,000 shares. This is the first time stock of the Beaumont Geyser Oil Co. is offered for sale in the Northern market. FACTS, NOT FAIRY TALES. It is not considered necessary to call attention here to the fortunes that have recently been made in oil investments of this kind, or to make any wild or extravagant claims for the proposition here presented. We prefer to simply state the facts. and then let you decide for yourself whether stock in this company will be a profitable investment for you. The Beaumont Geyser Oil Company's proposition is one that appeals to business men. EXPERT BEATTY'S OPINION. Following is an extract from a letter by D. R. Reatty to an inquirer in regard to the lands and steek of this company. Mr. Beatty, as is well known, is considered authority on all that pertains to the Beaumont oil fields. He sold one well for $1.250.000, and made stock of his Texas Western Oil Co. go up to $5 a share. He writes the Beaumont Geyser Oil Co.: INDORSES COMPANY AND PROPOSITION. "I know their holdings very well, indeed, and can assure you that they have one of the strongest companies in this field and one of the best properties in the Beaumont district. They also have a very fine rice plantation, and it is the opinion of the best posted oil men here at the present time that the oil from Spindle Top runs in a southwesterly direction. Should this be true, they have one of the biggest propositions and one of the strongest companies in this locality. From what I know of the men connected with this company and the holdings they own I would not hesitate in recommending their stock to my best friends." 75 CENTS A SHARE-NOW. A limited amount of the Beaumont Geyser Oll Co.'s treasury stock can be had NOW at 75 cents per share (par value $1). When oil is struck the price will doubtless go up to at least $5 a share, and more likely to $10 or $15. Certificates will not be issued for less than ten shares.
