WHALERS AGAIN ARE ACTIVE Ancient Industry Has Undergone Note- worthy Revival in America in Last Few Years. News dispatches telling of the re- cent capture of three sperm whales by Grays Harbor hunters serve as a reminder that the ancient industry of whaling has undergone a noteworthy revival in the last few years. It is an interesting fact that this revival | has been due largely to the develop- most modern creations of man. Hundreds of whalers from Ameri- can ports sailed the seas in the times before the Civil war, when whale oll was used for lighting. The discovery of petroleum caused a slump in the industry. Historie New Bedford and Nantucket became the boneyards of a once mighty fleet, and the race of hardy American mariners developed y whaling became almost extinct. he old romances passed into tradi- y bat- ar it rtain of s found that for use the bearings in their ponderous en- gines there was nothing that would quite take the place of “case oil,” found in the head of the sperm whale, which is strangely clear and does not disintegrate under great pressure and he: So whalers began to take the sea peein: They are not so primitive as those of the older generation, but thelr cargoes are more than ever in demand. One of Peculiar Sarsicamentl Is Use of American Product to Halt Armies’ Progress. The part that barbed wire has played in the war Is reflected to some extent by the foreign commerce re- ports, says the St. Louls Globe-Demo- crat. This is peculiarly an American product, the Blidden invention having been first utHized on a large scale by | | | | ment of the battleship, one of the | John W. Gates at St, Louls, The | scriptions from the front show the ef- fective use made of this simple inven- | tion, which the late Senator Ingalls sald was suggested by the manner in /¢ which the milk cows avolded bramble bushes. It was woven and twisted into a barrier that seemed impregna- ble until the British developed the use of artillery in such amazing fashion. The study of fortifications has been followed from the beginning of human history, and it is a singular fact that a simple fencing device, designed for an untimbered country, should surpass every other obstacle to the progress of a modern army. He Caught Them. “Tommie, you were absent from school yesterday,” said the teacher. “Yes'm,” answered the boy. “Father wanted me to go fishin’ with him.” “But don’t you know it would have been more profitable to have come to school?” “Why, we wouldn’t have brought home a durn fish if I hadn't gone along.” Announcement of First Offering OF — Rexford Oil Company At 7c Per Share Net The Rexford Oil Company is incorporated under the laws of Wyoming. Capital stock, $600,000. 10 cents par. Edward Lovewell, President. M. C. Dutton, Vice-President and Treasurer. Edward A. Sproul, Secretary. Hagens & Stanley, General Counsel. Investors in Rexford Oil Company are assured the same opportunity to participate in a clean cut, honestly managed gamble with nature’s resources, that was presented by Hecla-Wyon.ing. Rexford Oil Company already has the moral backing of many of the mc s prominent and best brokers of Wyoming and Colorado. The Company’s holdings, already large, will be added to from time to time and stockholders may expect aggressive action on the part of the officers in securing quick action in the development of the Company’s leases. Rexford Oil Company is essentially a development company. It is the intention of the.Board of Directors to start work on its properties immediately. The Powder River Oil Field Powder River is now regarded as one of the greatest possibilities or large production among the unproven domes of the state. The Dakota formation, found barren in almost every part of the state, has been proven OIL BEARING on this great structure. Owing to the fact that the Dakota is not sealed at the crest of the dome, the discovery of small wells in this formation by the Western Exploration, 16-41-81, gives evidence that the Embar, Tensleep and Amsden sands lower down will prove tremendously productive. With the coming in of wells on Powder River structure, Rexford Oil Company shareholders may expect large and quick profits. Rexford Oil Company, owning the large well-located leases on the top of the Powder River Dome, present one of the most attractive speculations now be ore the investing public. Following are holdings owned by Rexford Oil Company: Southwest quarter, Section 34, 42-81. East half and southwest quarter of northwest quarter, Section 5, 41-81. Southeast half of southwest quarter, Section 6, 41-81. South half and northeast quarter of northeast quarter, Section 7, 41-81. Southeast quarter, Section 7, 41-81. Northeast quarter Section 19, 41-81. Southwest quarter of northwest quarter, Section 9, 41-81. Northwest quarter of Section 27, 42-81. Northeast quarter Section 12, 41-81. + Northeast quarter Section 1, 41-81. East half of southeast quarter Section 1, 41-8-. rE | Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, in Section 6, 41-80. Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, in Section 7, 41-80. With the many wells now drilling on the Powder River Dome, Rexford bids fair to produce large, quick profits to investors. We strongly endorse the company, its management, holdings, purpose and tremendous possibilities. Dutton, Staley & Co.

HOLDINGS The holdings of the Wy O Tex Oil Company consist of 2100 acres located in the Orlena structure in Cook and Grayson counties, Texas, which lies in the vicinity of the famous Healdton pool of Oklahoma. This structure has been favorably reported on and drilling recommended by three eminent geologists— F, Julius Fohs, W. H. Lowrie, Jr., and Horace B. Patton. These geologists report strong evidence of the presence of a dome on these holdings and state that experience has shown that in adjacent Oklahoma districts a dome or terrace as pronounced as, or even less pronounced than that at Orlena, is almost certain to yield oil. It is the intention of the management to acquire other valuable properties, and to this end several deals are now pending for leasing some proven acreage in Wyoming. Both in the speedy development of present holdings and the acquisition of new properties, Wy O Tex stockholders are assured of a progres- sive and business-like policy on the part of the management. At this time drilling operations are in actual progress on the company” "s holdings in the Orlena field. This drilling site was located by the company’s geologists at a point on the structure located but three miles from the “Texas” Pipe Line, thus assuring a ready market for production. We recommend the purchase of this stock and offer subject to prior sale a limited block of the treasury issue at 30 cents per share.
