rators are Senator James w. Speer,
former mayor of Great Falls, and
one Of the best known lawyers in
the state, who is president; G. M.
McCutcheon, who has been identified
with oil development in Montana,
Wyoming and Kansas for the past
10 years, and is vice-president;
while A. F. Mavity, the secretary,
has had nine years experience in the
oil fields of Montana and Wyoming.
The Illinois pipe line runs alongside
the Regal company's property, which
insures an immediate market for the
company's product.
North field operators are jubilant
over oil market prospects. Oil men
who know, say that the completion of
the Sinclair trunk pipe line from Cas-
per to Wyoming, and which cost in
the neighborhood of $24, 100000, and
has a capacity of 100000 barrels a
day, will divert all Wyoming oil to
eastern markets, which will mean
that Kevin-Sunburst crude will find
a ready market in Montana and Can

the oil is encountered Immediately
when the drill-bit passes out of the
black lime into the sand below. How
ever, some wells have virtually drill
ed through the sand before striking
oil. Others have drilled through the
water horizon at the top of the Madi-
son and then reported striking oil.
Too much credence should not be
given to all such reports, but it seems
there are certainly a few of them
which are we'll founded. Again, it
has been observed that wells drilling
formation which if not displaced by
faulting is at least broken up and
shattered nearly always get good pro-
duction, while those put down in hard
tight formation are frequently dry.
Incentives for Deep Drilling
Some of the incentives which are
leading up to the testing of the deep
formations may be outlined as fol-
lows:
(1) knowledge that the sedimen-
tary formations of every known geo
logical age have produced oil or gas
somewhere in some quantity or other.
(2) Belief that at least part, if
not all, of the oil now being recov-
cred at Kevin-Sunburst has its source
in the deeper formations, from
whence it has migrated upward
through faults, cracks, assures and
~crevices in the rock to the present
producing sands.
go Absolute knowledge from the
records of one semi-deep test in the
Kevin-Sunburst field that there is
considerable oil present in the for
nations underlying the Ellis, which
at present is the lowest producing
sand.
(4) Belief that at least four and
possibly five, formations will be
found present underlying the Ellis
within reach of the drill, all favorable
to the distillation of oil.
CD Belief, from a study of these
formations, that there is a fair
of encountering at least one
good sand.
CO. Belief that the structure of
the lower formations is generally con-
formable to that of the upper forma-
tons and hence favorable to the ac-
emulation of oil in commercial
quantities.

Outing Every Year
The best marksman of each COM

termine who shall compose the state
team to go to Camp Perry and the
National matches each year. There
will also be two candidates chosen

Sixty per cent of each company
will be required to attend training
for Is days each year, with full pay

some serve officers residents of

The requirement is so men, and
the roster should be filled at nee

fore the summer meeting.
There are two other competing
towns in the state, trying to secure

Company's Land Lies in Heart of Proven Area

This map shows the proven acreage of the REGAL OIL
Company, in the heart of the Kevin-Sunburst field. The of
ficers of the company believe it to be the best undeveloped
eighty in the field, lying as it does close to the spectacular
producers of the Shoshone Oil Company, the Swartz company
and other big producers of the famous section 4.
A recent article in the Tulsa Oil Journal, an oil authority,
states that the Regina refinery is making preparations to take
the entire product of the Kevin-Sunburst field, which will
insure a good price for every barrel of oil produced in the
north and which will distribute millions of dollars annually
among PRODUCERS.

Possible to Make Profit of 200 Per Cent

ficient funds to finance the drilling of Well No. 2.
Owing to the proximity of Well No. 1 of the
Regal Oil Company to the large producers of the
Shoshone and Swartz wells, it is reasonable to as
sumo that we should bring in a big well. But to be
conservative, say we estimate Well No. 1 to settle
down to a production of 100 barrels per day, here
are some of the possibilities:
One 100 barrel well, pumping 800 days a year,
with oil selling at 50 per barrel, the price that is
expected Kevin-Sunburst crude will command this
summer, would pay $50, 900 annually, or 100 per
cent on the entire capitalization.
Two 100 barrel wells, pumping the same period,
would pay 100000 a year, or 200 per cent on the
entire capitalization.
We have drilling sites for IS wells on our 80
acre tract.
We consider the Regal Oil Company's issue
to be the best offering yet made to the Montana
public.
