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.

make our money by selling what

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

the oil; going to mine the copper;

to go shares with me to cover the
cost of drilling and digglng.out the
metal can come in now on a basis of

to the Farmers Exchange Bank, Gal

this offer, I will incorporate and issue
shares to as the law requires, the
bank acting as your trustee in the

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

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."

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. Here are
tome samples:
Had you invested 960 in the Coline Oil Co., you would have gotten back
930,000.
90 Invested in the Spencer OH Co., would have made you 910,400.
960 Invested in the Quaker Oil Co., would now be worth 918,000.
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.

Emancipation, or, a perfectly de

its possibility, and not simply through
an intellectual admission of Its pos
