The Cat Creek oil field is only about two
years old. 1t is the richest little oil field IN
the world The federal government, in re-
cent bulletin, credited it with being the third
largest producing field in the mountain coun-
try This credit was given it several months
ago when it had but 81 producing wells. It
now has 1O2 oil wells. A year from now it
may have four times this number, as develop
ment work is only fairly started. The wealth
development of the district has been amazing.
Small wonder, because Cat Creek oil is richer
by far than the oil produced in any other
western field The oil is so rich that the
Standards product, instead of being refined
in the west, is shipped all the way to Indiana,
where, by the Burton process, it is Cracked
as the trade expression goes, into commercial
gasoline, yielding as high as go per cent in
gasoline values.

which was also expensive, made it
necessary for her to live simply and
economically that he might make

Visits Were Secret
An interesting fact, however, is
the secrecy which surrounded Nc
Kenzie's visits to his family. AL
though the family has lived in Yon-
kers for the past Is years and say
they had frequent visits from their
father, no one, including intimate
friends, neighbors and even the pro-
prietor of their boarding house, ever
saw him. Mckenzie was averse even
to being photographed and in his eff
fects were found several photographs
of him with the express notation
that they should never be published
except after his death.
Alexander Mckenzie stands forth
as one of the most interesting fig
ures in the politics of North Dakota
since pioneer days. Commencing as

they average up with other Cat Creek wells,

In addition to its 80 acres in Cat Creek,
the Golden West controls three thousand acres
in the Black Butte district, an offshoot of Cat
Creek, where the Golden West is now drilling
well and is down 24OO feet. This is wild
cat and should it prove to be gusher terri
tory, the upward skyrocketing of Golden
West stock should be instantaneous, and those
already "in'' will be the profit takers. Golden

One Dollar Per Share

This is the same price stockholders paid
for GOLDEN WEST before we tapped the
rich second sands and demonstrated that in
the Golden West we had another Homestake
or SO Petroleum, with the element of chance
largely eliminated. We will sell this stock
for 81 per share down, or for $105 cents per
share if purchased on the installment plan.
For those who are not in a position to pay
all cash this offer gives an opportunity of
tieing up fairly good-sized block of stock
for four months. Stock on the installment
plan will be sold on basis of rs cents per
share down, and 20 cents per share on the
first of each month thereafter until the total
of $1O5 cents per share is paid in. To my
mind, this is an especially attractive offer,
as with an initial payment of $3.50 the investor
may tie up 900 shares of Golden West and
pay in at the rate Of $500 per month for the
ensuing four months. In the meantime de-
ve1opment work is going forward on Golden
West properties, with all their potential
wealth-producing possibilities
I strongly recommend to my clients the
purchase of Golden West stock, as the best
offering in the Cat Greek district I do not
see how the investor can help making money
out of this stock.

WHO HAS CAT CREEK LAND?

WdO HAS CAL CREEK LAND!
After the Standard OIL with its large in
terest in this great glory-hole of Petrolia,
what concerns have holdings of any consid-
cradle magnitude inside the magic escarpment
outlining the productive area of this wonder
full, sure-shot, wealth-producing area? There
are just three~large holders, as follows
The Homestake Oil Company, which con-
trolls large acreage, has II producing wells,
and is producing around 10000 barrels of oil
per month. It's earnings last year, with less
than one-third Of the present oil production,
were sixty per cent of its capital stock The
report at the close of this year should show,
at the rate of present earnings, profits in ex-
cess of 800 per cent on its capital stock.
The Homestake is less than "A months
old-rnade its start with less than 100000
and has developed a property value Of more
than 100000. 1t is estimated that its prop
erty has enhanced in value over 5000 per
cent. Aside from its Cat Greek holdings, but
through wealth developed there, it has or
gained subsidiaries which it controls in the
famous Salt Greek field and in northern Mon
tana. In all the history Of the development
of the west there is no record of soaring
values equaling that of the Homestake Oil
Company The next Independent company
in point of achievement is
The So Petroleum Oil Company. This
concern was organized among railroad en-
ployes of the Northern Pacific at Miles City
1t controls forty acres of inside property,
has nine producing wells From this land,
during the past Is months, besides putting
aside a considerable sum in the treasury for
future development, So Petroleum has paid in
dividends over THREE HUNDRED PER
CENT. It's stock has sold as high as $4,000
per unit, TWENTY TIMES its original value,
and is away beyond the purchase of the in
dividual in ordinary circumstances.
THE RICH GOLDEN WEST HOLDINGS
After these two independent companies of
marvellous achievement comes in Importance
the Golden West Oil & Development Com
pany. 1t controls 80 ACRES of rich Cat
Creek land, we'll inside the proven area. Proof
of the richness of its holdings is had by
producing well, which was brought in a few
months ago with a flow of about 800 barrels
of oil per day in the RICH SECOND SAND.
This we'll is now putting substantial earnings
into the treasury of the company
The posted price of crude oil at Cat Creek
is $1.20 per barrel. Golden Vests produc-
ton is contracted for at $500 per barrel, 80
cents per Darrel over the posted price IIo
OFFICERS ARE KEEN, HARD-HEADED
BUSINESS MEN.
Figure up 300 barrels per day at $500 per
barrel for year.
There is absolutely no reason why the
holdings of the Golden West, with further
development, should not prove as rich as those
of the Homestake or the So Petroleum. Its
first we'll has demonstrated this fact beyond
the peradventure of doubt There is room on

STANDARD OIL
IS IN CAT CREEK STRONG


The great Standard Oil Company, old in
the oil game, ripe and wise in experience and
with unlimited resources, had its representa-
tives in the field early, acquiring holdings
through its subsidiaries 1t now controls a
large per centage of the inside, proven acre
age. The Standard is pushing development
steadily. Every.few days sees another Stand
ard producer brought in, enriching the bulg-
ing treasury of that institution. A situation
that has increased production during the past
few months amazingly was the striking Of oil
in the second sands where the flow is much
more prolific than in the first sands. Because
of the finding of oil in the second sands, pro-
duction, with only few wells drilled to the
second sand, has increased in some instances
four fold. The oil that came from the first
sand was so rich that it was held by experts
to be migratory" oil, forced up from a sand
below, and filtered in the process. However,
the second sand oil, yielding four times the
volume, is just as rich in gasoline content as
was the first sand. Because of this condition
many oil men are confident that the mother
pool, enormous in extent, and perhaps of
lesser degree Of richness, lies below the sec
ond sand Anything may happen in the Cat
Creek district. 1t is the wonder field Of the
world
CAT CREEK OIL LAND rs PRICELESS
Because of these remarkable conditions,
land inside the proven area is held so high
that it is almost priceless. The second sand
discovery has given it value that is almost
beyond purchase. Land, that few years
ago could have been bought for a song, can
not be had now for love or money Here is
a case that will indicate its richness. Wild
schultz, the impoverished homesteader who
was about to abandon his Cat Creek farm
when oil was struck, holds only one and one
fourth royalty interest in the oil pro-
duced on his farm. From this small holding
he is receiving check of several thousands
of dollars monthly. With only small frac-
ton of his land developed, this man, poverty
stricken two years ago, is potential million
aire, who has Aladdin and his wea1th-produc-
ing lamp cheated four ways from the deuce.
He has so much money that he does not know
what to do with it. Half dozen homestead
ers have been almost equally fortunate. One
