The Electra Dome Oil & Gas Association
Of McKinney, Texas
$150,000 Capital
(Unincorporated)
Was organized for the purposr of some of
the host territory in ono of the best < >il «-ouii1 i«>« in Texas,
in onr opinion, if not in Hie world.
Our 300 acre Lease is located in Wichita County,
Texan, tho county of Oil surprises, ami lias made thou-
sands of investors rich, nnd adjoins the best defined Dome
on an upluickle of an anticline over diseovered hy some of
the most famous and successful Geologists in the I'lnted
States.
This Dome in Wichita County, is the hitrli point of
the Oil field, which indicates it to he Die reservoir of Oil.
It is Hie history of this county that when penetrated hy it
drill to a proper depth, to respond with an abundant sup
ply of oil.
This county has Ion .a; since passed from the Wild
Cat Stage, and is now considered one of Die surest for
production and the safest for investment in the United
States.
We will only sell a small amount of capital stock of
this Association, provided slock is taken before the well
now being drilled nearby conies in. You will see that your
application for interest in this Association is sent out
promptly as this Association reserves the fight to re-
turn to applicant their application for interest, reaching
their office at McKinney, Texas, after said well now being
drilled comes in.

Our Lease is locatcd within 48f> steps of the well now
being drilled which, according to Geologist reports here
submitted has a very bright prospect,
Please road the following report of Geologist:
Wichita Falls, Texas. June 10th. 10IS
Mr. W. Jl. Pea den,
Denton, Texas.
Dear Sir:
Yours of .Tune fitli, re my opinion in regard to the pos-
sibility of getting oil in paying quantities on sections 10
and 'JO II 7. fl. & T. C. R. R, survey Wichita County,
Texas.
It is my opinion, based on my 58 years experience in
Die oil business in the following states: Pennsylvania,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Michigan, Colorado, California and
Texas, that there is no better gamble in any locality than
a well properly located in Die vicinity of that mound,
about 10 miles S. of Electra.
I am very mw>h interested in seeing a deep test well
in that locality, and have been every since T located the
1st, well at Electra, Texas, and as you know T was one of
the first to locate a well at Ranger, Texas, which has
proved itself worthy of some comment to say the least of
it. Pennit. me to sav in conclusion that Sec. 20 has the best
tlcfined Dome in Texas, nnd in my experience ns a Geolo
uist F do not now know of a better location for a biir well
in this country than in that vicinity.
ff you should decide to drill Sec. 10 nliove mentioned
I would like to have some interest in it. von to decide on
the amount you would let me have.
Yours & eet.,

I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of
the original letter as now belt! by me nnd as signed by
Isaac Canfield under date above written.
