A great salt dome exists at High Island, Texas, 48
feet high, covering nearly 2,000 acres. v
This dome, or mound, was caused by gas passing
through salt water hundreds of feet beneath the earth's
surface, crystalizing the salt, and causing an expansion,
or eruption, leaving this great dome arising from the
level land.
Great Gusher Oil Fields have been developed ad
jacent to domes of similar formation throughout the
Great Coastal Oil Districts of Texas.
60,000-barrel gushers were reported from around
the famous 200-acre Spindletop dome, near Beaumont,
Texas. z
1 V
We own 1,000 acres of land near the bate of this great High Island Dome, and ex
pect to bring in tremendous gushers on this property.
.
We offer you the opportunity of joining us in our development work, on a ground
floor basis, which should make you a fortune. , ' -
In order to raise immediate drilling fund, we are selling quarter-acre tracts, with
warranty deed, for $30 each, or $120 per acre.
It is mighty hard to estimate what th e value of these tracts will be in a : few
months, after we bring in oil. One acre in the Humble field sold for $218,750.
' We retain lease, paying tract owners one-tenth royalty from wells drilled on
their tracts. On only a 500-barrel well, this one-tenth royalty, with oil at $2 per barrel,
would be approximately $36,500 annually.
We also issue Profit-Sharing Contract, entitling all tract purchasers to share pro
portionately in profits from all wells on the entire 1,000 acres; also in profits from all
wells drilled on our positively proven lease in the Humble field, where we know we have
the oil.
We can show you to your entire satisfaction that even a small investment should
bring big returns from the proven lease alone, and a fortune for you when we prove up
High Island.
Here is good advice. Investigate our proposition. Send for free bulletin with
complete information.

Although the Orpheum Theater is closed for the
summer, after one of the most prosperous seasons it
has ever enjoyed, arrangements are already being
made for the vaudeville season of 1918 1919, which
starts August 18.
Before that date the decorators and renovators
will have made the theater more attractive than it has
ever been. Every summer it is the practice of the man
agement to appropriate a liberal allowance for im
proving the playhouse.
It is not, after all, the comfort, coziness and fresh
ness of the theater which has so firmly established the
Orpheum in Omaha; but rather has it been the quality,
of entertainment. Patrons realize that Orpheum
vaudeville represents the best, the very best in that
kind of amusement. ,
Dramatic stars, musical comedy favorites, concert
celebrities and grand opera prima donnas, elsewhere
appearing at extravagant prices, are seen or heard at.
the Orpheum at prices ranged from 10 to 75 cents a
seat.
Note, for example, the celebrities who were
brought to the Orpheum last season : Julia Arthur, Ruth
St. Denis, Elsie Rueger, Fritzi Scheff, Gertrude Hoff
man, Mclntyre & Heath, Trixie Friganza and Emma
Carus, and many other great stars.
It is promised that next season the stellar showing
will even be greater than in the season recently closed.
Very likely the new theatrical year of big time vaude
ville will be extended for the past season, running
forty weeks, went a week longer than it commonly has
done. . ",. m '-;.: -;V:v';
