Can You Grubstake Si or lore for
01! and Copper at Gallatin, Missouri?
Personal Statement of John Y. liverman
Since the discovery of Oil and Copper on the 15,000 acres of land we
have near Gallatin, I have been asked so many questions and have had so
many propositions put up to me that I am taking this public way of ex
plaining just how I propose to develop the land, and make money for
myself and my associates. Also I offer a few people the opportunity to
'grub stake" with me; and have arranged with the Farmers Exchange
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 exaggerated 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 I do not wTant any
promotion" or "stock selling scheme," etc. If the plain facts are not
good enough and a straight, clean-cut, neighborly developing proposition
does not appeal to any man, then I advise him to buy stock from a regu
lar promoter; as I an not and never will be a promoter. Personally, I
expect to make my everlasting fortune out cf this Oil and Copper wealth
that nature has put at my doors.
Court of this city was a visitor in

If anyone cares to come in with me
on an "Even Steven" break, and put
up some raoney against my land for
development. I will share even with
Hum, interest for interest, on a basis
if $1 up. and the bsr.k to take care
of your money until we pay it out to
the drillers, etc. I do not know or
care anything about "marketing
Mock," etc. I know if you have oil
and copper you can sell them; and
as the world wants oil and copper,
it looks good to me, to make our mon
ey by selling what we've got.
We have two wells producing
ro.no oil. and two farmers, boring for
v,:iur iu the same neighborhood,
struck oil at a depth of ICO and 240
feet, respectively. L. W. Powell, a
farmer, was boring a well for stock
water, and struck oil. which ran out
down the hill side and on into the
river, covering everything it touched.
We have 13,000 acres of land leas
ed in this vicinity, covering these
well.-, and our leases also cover land
on which we have discovered a ledge
of metal of some kind; this substance
is about S to 9 inches thick, and lays
;!0 f-Pt underground. It lays under
a hill and this land as well as the
surrounding is rough as thunder. I
recently 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:

When you've got 15,000 acres of
mineralized land; when you've got
sure copper on the surface; when
you've got oil bubbling up from 150
to 2 50-feet wells, I think you've got
something that will make any man
that touches it rich. Hence I am go-

sell the copper; and whoever wants
to go shares with me to cover the
cost of drilling and digging out the
metal can come in now on a basis of
$1 per share sending the money to
the Farmers Exchange Bank, Gal
latin. Mo. As many as come in on
this ofi'er, I will incorporate and is
sue 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 of 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 the
coupon and send for as many shares
as you want to tne farmers ex
change Bank. Gallatin. Mo. When.
wo produce oil and copper you will
get your dollar for dollar. If you
would like, come to Gallatin and
look at your property. How all the
"smart" promoters, etc., will laugh
at this way of getting developed
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."
