ALL1AWCE HKHALD, Tin iisfAY. IiM .a. mi7. Interesting Things About Nebraska By Will M. Maupin. State Publicity Director The Rpvpnna Nown tolls the story of a chk-kou shipped from that place to Anaconda, Mont., In whose craw was found twenty or thirty sapphires, evidently picked up by the aforesnid chicken while foraging along the banks of the south fork of the Ixnip. Huh. finding a handful of sapphires in a Nebraska chicken's craw isn't anything! During 1916 automobiles and phonograhs and sewing ma chines, and surreys, and silk dresses, and fur coats and pianos and univer sity courses and trips to the Pacific coast and a whole lot of other things were found in the craws of Nebraska chickens about $3 5,000,000 worth. Mrs. Biddy Hen of Nebraska tip your hats, please contributed more than 200.000,000 dozen eggs to the prosperity of the state, and 75,000, 000 dozen of them were sold at an average price of about 22 cents per dozen, or about $17,000,000. And she contributed something like $17, 000,000 or $18,000,000 worth of "frieB" and "bolls" and "stews" to the gustatory joy of the country. A mere handful of measley litMe old sapphires In a Nebraska chicken's craw is hardly worth mentioning. ing a single share of stock. It means that the aforesaid QOBIpM is san guine that it is going to tlnd the oil. That is Just what the Praiie (ias & Oil company, a subsidiary of the Si.mdard, Is doing In Banner county, It has hauled hundreds of tons of materials over t w ent ty-flve miles of road that would give a British tank cause to worry, and without any press agenting or stock selling is pro ceeding with the work of boring a 20-inch hole, prepared to sink it a mile deep If necessary. The com pany has oil leases on 80,000 acres of Banner county land. The pros pectors are experienced oil men, and they evidently believe there Is an oil down in Banner county. It looks reasonable, to, for they are drilling on a line between the oil regions of Wyoming and the oil regions of Kan Ml, It Is one of the easiest things In the world to organize an oil company and sell promotion stock. Every body in Nebraska is yearning for the d'scovery of oil In this state. But when a well known oil company pro ceeds to expend a quarter of a mil lion dollars In prospecting for oil, and puts up the money without sell- The department of publicity Is working diligently in the preparation of a booklet, "Nebraska Facts," that will be, if the ainiB jot the compiler are successful, be the best epitome of Nebraska resources and oppor tunities ever prepared for general distribution. It will briefly tell of the advantages of every county In the state provided the people of the various counties co-operate as they should. The director of the de partment Is writing to parties In every county, asking for Information and suegestion. but as yet the re sponses are discouragingly few. But the only bad result of this will be de- Can You Grubstake $1 or More for Oil and Copper at Gallatin, Missouri? Personal Statement of John W. Everman Since the discovery of Oil and Copper on the 15,000 acres we have near Gallatin, 1 have been asked so many questions and have had so many propositions put up to me that 1 am taking this way of explain ing just how 1 propose to develop the land, and make money for myself and my associates. Also 1 offer a few people the opportunity to "grub stake" with me; and have arranged with the Farmers Ex change Bank of Gallatin to take care of the money, so people who do not know me can deal with the bank. Probably you have heard exag gerated rumors, also stories about Eastern Capital "grabbing off" the leases, but the facts are good enough to interest anyone who is willing to risk a little money for the chance of getting big money quick; also 1 do not want any "promotion" or "stock selling scheme," etc. If the plain facts are not good enough ami a straight, clean-cut, neigh borly developing proposition does not appeal to any man, then I advise him to buy stock from a regular promoter; as I am not and never will be a promoter. Personally, 1 expect to make my everlasting fortune out of this Oil and Copper wealth t hat nature has put at my doors: If anyose cares to come in with me on an "Even Steven" break, and pat up some money against my land for development, I will share even I with them. Interest for Interest, on j a basis of $1 up. and the bank to j take care of your money until we pay it out to the drillers, etc. I do not know, nor care, anything about "marketing stock," etc.; I know if you have a large enougli boulder of the MibNtanre, better bring It up to the top, as coper is now bringing no menu price. Very truly yours. Signed) ML K. WILSON. When you've got 15,000 acres of j mineralized land; when you've got sure copper on the surface; when j you've got oil bubbling up from 150 . .

Hence I am go- and copper, it looks good to me, to make our money by selling what -we've got. We have two wells, producing some oil, and two farmers, boring for water in the same neighborhood, struck oil at a depth of 160 and 240 feet, respectively. L. W. Powell, a farmer, was boring a well for stock water, and struck oil, which ran out low n the hill side, and on into the river, coloring everything it touched. We have 15,000 acres of land leas ed in this vicinity, covering these -wells, and our leases also cover land on which we have discovered a ledge of metal of some kind; this substance is about 8 to 9 inches thick, and lays 30 ft. underground. It lays under a hill and this land as well as that sur rounding is rough as thunder I re cently sent a sample from this ledge to the Bureau of Geology and Mines at Rolla, Mo., and herein you will find a copy of their reply to me re garding this substance: ing to drill wells, produce oil; sell the oil; going to mine the copper; sell the copper; and whoever wants to go shares with me to cover the cost of drilling and digglng.out the metal can come in now on a basis of $1.00 per share sending the money to the Farmers Exchange Bank, Gal latin, Mo. As many as come in on this offer, I will incorporate and issue shares to as the law requires, the bank acting as your trustee in the matter. I do not know how much you will make out, of your $10 or $100 or $1,000 that you put in, but if you will come here and see what I have, you will be as excited as all my neighbors are; and I'll guarantee you will put up every cent you'll dare to risk. I haven't any literature or "hot air" to put out; hence, if you want to "COME IN," simply clip coupon and send for as many shares as you State of Missouri. Bureau of Geology ! want th?

Dear Sir: In the absence of Mr. Buehler, I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter and sample submitted August 22nd. Tin- sample Is pure native cop per, and I judge it lies in the drift above the bed-rock, where you found the princiial mass. I can easily realize your difficulty in detaching this small piece. If Gallatin, Mo, you will get your dollar j for dollar. If you would like, come i to Gallatin and look at your property. How all the smart promoters, etc., will laugh at this way of getting de veloped but I think the common horse sense of the American people will tell them it is Just about the kind of a deal that makes "REAL MONEY" for everybody and makes it quick. Write to me if you want to know anything more, but to the bank, if you are to talk "Turkey." (Signed) JNO. W. EVERMAN. FARMERS EXCHANGE BANK, GALLATIN, MISSOURI.

NAME ' ADDRESS Notice the following Standard Estimates of Oil A 500 barrel oil well earns 9272,350 per year. Oil Is one of our greatest producers of fuel resources. Fortunes are being made today in Oil, especially open to the small Investor.

In April, 1916, the Quaker Oil Co. paid a cash dividend of 92,600 on each 900 share of stock. 990 Invested la the Kern OU Co. has paid over 916,000 in dividends. 960 put Into the Home OU Co., would have made you 996,000. The Suck OU Oa. paid over 180 per cent dividends during the wive lay ;n the publication of the book The director will diie out the facts all h himself if be has to do so But it would be of great advantage to the various counties If men therein j would volunteer to assist.
