On May 24th, 1917, this Company brought in a well on Sec- tion 12, Twp. 39, Range 79, which is considered good for at least 200 barrels per day. BEFORE this well was brought in, we secured a good block of the capital stock of the COLUMBINE, which we now offer for sale at Fifty Cents per share. The holdings of this Company in the Salt Creek field alone are over 1300 acres, not to mention leases on over 10,000 acres in the Pueblo, Colo., district. The COLUMBINE OIL COMPANY is incorporated in the State of Wyoming, with a capitalization of $2,000,000.00, par value of stock $1.00, with One Million in the Treasury, not now on the market. The Company has no debts, no preferred stock, pays no sal- aries, has $39,000.00 in the treasury, and is under a wise and honest management. C. F. GOW, of Denver, is president of the Company, and R.
