district in the highways and by
ways, trying to convince SOME
ONE that the Berger well point
ed to an oil field.
II win be recalled that Gordon
Campbell, discoverer Of oil ia
Montana, recommended Cut Bank
soon after he discovered oil in
Kelvin. His recommendation went
unheeded until 1929 when some
one secured from Mr.. Campbell
a report on the field. About the
time our leases expired. two or
three others were taking leases.
One block, southwest Of our
block, had been turned to the
Drumheller interests Of Spokane.
They drilled a wildcat well and
found oil and gas. Thinking the
gas the more valuable they shut
off the oil and made 8 gasser out
Of it, running a gas line to the
town Of Cut Bank. We have been
since told by able oil men that
the Drumheller discovery well is
a good commercial oil well and
would have been producing today
had it been handled as such.
Tip" O'Neil was among those
who began leasing north and
west Of our block and he drilled
the first well in the north end
Of the field, also in search Of oil.
Instead Of oil, it found 1900
600 cubic feet of gas. This gave
birth to the Butte natural gas
project and the Montana Power
company took over the project
and drilled enough wells to de-
velop 200, O00,OO cubic feet Of
open flow gas production. De-
casionally one Of these gas wells
would show some oil and much
Of the gas was exceedingly
wet Enough gasoline collects
in the drips at the control heads
to provide ample gasoline for
Montana Power company auto
mobiles in the field. This con-
tinued to indicate the proximity
of commercial oil production.
Owing to the fact that Mon
tana Power company chose to use
only its own gas in its line, 9TH
er operators were not encouraged
to do further drilling. Two or
three Independents began drilling
in the vicinity Of the Drumheller
discovery well and one test, the
B. & II. well, reached the sand.
Their hole was in bad condition
but nevertheless they had a good
50-barrel oil well.
Even this discovery, which
came in the midst Of the depres-
sion, failed to excite interest.
However, the Tarrant interests,
which had been operating at Kew
in, became convinced Of the pre-
sence Of an oil field and drilled
a third oil weIl, this one in bet
ter condition than the B. & H.,
and proving beyond a doubt that
there is commercial pool Of oil
in the Cut Bank field.
The showing Of the Berger well
DID point the way to a new and
important oil field
Wells drilled west and north
brought in a rich gas field and
wells drilled southwest brought
in an oil field, thus proving
theory which was likewise prov

en- on the Border field, on Pom
dera field and on other fields:
The best place to look for q lot
Of oil. is where SOME oil has
been found. We have every rea-
son to believe that some gushers
Of the Askalta type viii be brot
in at Cut Bank. The man who
buys royalty on that basis, viii
not succeed. But we believe that
we win succeed with our meth
Cd Of eyaluating royalties.
We figure EVERY royalty as
a gas royalty and, basing our es-
Inmates on the figures Of gas en-
gineers, figure the amount we can
expect the royalty to produce
from gas alone. We then insist on
a price for the royalty that viii
allow as to make q profit If the
royalty produces gas ONLY.
All our buying at Cut Bank
has been on this basis and we
feel that members who have
bought these royalties through as
are going to make a large profit
on wells such as the Tarrant pro-
ducer and make q liberal for
tune from any such producers
as the Askalta. The conditions in
the Border and Cut Bank fields
are said to be identical, each be-
ing q terrace on the main Kew
in-Sunburst uplift, in adjoining
townships.
While it is easy to see the pos
sibility Of getting some big wells
at Cut Bank, none can know
WHERE they viii be, without
drilling. If it were possible to
know, no royalty would be q
valuable to royalty owners on
those particular tracts where
wells Of the Askalta type are
to be drilled. Certain il is, the
only participants viii be those
who OWN ROYALTIES in the
Cut Bank field. The greater the
area Of royalties owned, the
greater the probability Of success.
And he who makes an investment
with the requirement that he has
profit definitely in sight from
50-barrel wells viii not be chag-
rined by a few Aslalta gushers,
il and when they come into pro-
duction on his properties, and on
the other hand win live with a
comfortable return on 50-barrel
wells and, this failing, get his
money back with interest from
gas alone.
The problem at Cut Bank is to
get low enough on structure to
get away from the gas, for the
gas is ABOVE the oil. At the
same time It is necessary to keep
HIGH enough TO keep IN the oil
and ABOVE the water. No water
has yet bene developed by drill
ing in the Cut Bank oil pool but
everyone knows that SOME
WHERE there is q water line. So
the judicious royalty investor
viii cling pretty closely to known
facts regarding the accumulation
Of oil in this pool.

are the investors who bought
royalties on this particular
tract, basing their Investment on
the possibilities Of 60 barrel
wells.
It serves to again demonstrate
that no royalty investment
should be based upon sensational
developments. The investor who
buys his royalty on the basis Of
small production is able to bear
up nicely when q multiple-thous-
and barrel well comes in on his
property, but the man who buys
royalty on the assumption that
every well win be a multiple
thousand barrel producer is like
ly to suffer disappointment. And
whoever buys royalty in the Ke-
vin-Sunburst uplift is likely to
get gusher on the meanest To-
cation that may be drilled.
Many years ago the writer
learned to look with awe and res
pect on the wildcat which finds
ANY oil. Midcontinent training
teaches the practical oil man to
believe that where a SHOWING
Of oil is found, there is likely
MORE oil in the vicinity. In the
absence Of surface indications Of
structure, that was the method
used to locate some of the great
est Midcontinent oil fields: drill
ing in each direction away from
any showing Of oil
Here in Montana, there are re-
latively few who zee the signifi-
canoe Of a showing Of oil. The
writer knew intimately Of the
showing in the Imperial well at
Red Coulee but failed to follow
up the advantage, sharing the
lack Of confidence in any wild
cat well which shows oil but not
in commercial quantities.
In the year 1928 the writer
determined to definitely test the
theory and chose to follow up
the significance Of the showing Of
oil and wet gas in the Barger
wen west Of Kelvin Sunburst and
north of Cut Bank. We do not
engage in the leasing business,
choosing not to compete with OPP
orators, but we set out TO inter-
est someone in drilling a well in
the Cut Bank area to determine
definitely whether the showing
at the Berger well was as sig
nificant as it seemed.
The writer secured leave Of
absence and went to Cut Bank
to lease up a block Of land west
Of the Berger well. The block
was placed in the bank subject
to q short-time escrow agreement.
Then the writer tried to interest
some operator in drilling a test.
AN we wanted was. advance in
formation on the location Of the
test, that we might buy the roy
atty. But we could find no OPP
orator who would agree to drin
the well. They were ready to
concede, for the most part, that
the Berger well DESTROYED the
district inasmuch as the showing
was not commercial The result
was that the time limit expired
and the leases were returned to
the farmers. But meantime we
had been preaching the Cut Bank

SUPpOSING--

Surprising he first well on the
Border-Red Coulee field had been
spotted 400 feet south instead Of
where it is-
That would be the location Of
the new Askalta gusher, 400 feet
south Of the discovery well.
It would have been the great
est sensation in the history of
Montana oil development and
would have electrified the pc
troleum world.
The discovery well on this field
was drilled in 1929 by a group of
Canadians who saw in the show
ing Of oil at the abandoned I'm
perial well in Red CouIee the
teI-tale landmark Of an oil field.
They chose a spot that they
knew was higher structurally
than the Imperial well but they
did not cross the border into
Montana although they knew that
the Montana side was still higher
structurally. So they drilled as
close to the border as possible.
They were correct in their de-
ductiOns that the Imperial wen
DID point to an oil field. They
brought in a 60-barrel well.
The completion Of a 6O-barrel
well caused no great excitement,
naturally. The true significance
Of the discovery did not come
until after the Cosmos brought in.
its sensational well on the Am
erican side Of the border. There
after, interest in the new field
again Jagged during the period
when everything was shut down.
Among the companies that went
to poi" in the slough of depres-
sion was the Canadian ontfit
which owned the tract adjoining
the discovery well on the south,
in Montana. The property was
kicked around among creditors
and others and finally dropped
into the hands of the Askalta
people, who three years earlier
had drilled the discovery well.
The Askalta broke the silence"
Of the Border field last June by
drilling a wen on the newly ac-
quired property and chose as its
location the spot on which the
Askalta would certainly have
drilled the discovery well, had
1t owned this lease on the Mon
tana side.
The story of the completion Of
this well is known to everyone.
Nothing in recent years has so
electrified the Montana oil indus
try. The well came in under con-
troll but with terrific pressure. II
flowed open for just five minutes.
During that time it flowed at the
rate Of more than SEVENTEEN !.

drilled this location first:
They would have been without
equipment for controlling the oil
and without tankage to store it.

industry would have gone

prices for leases and royalties
would have been based upon this

TO TAKE BODIES
FROM VOLCANO

HILO, T. H, June 6. U.P)-One
thousand dollars was the price to
be paid r. Kunishi, Hilo contrac-
tor, for the task he set about to-
day, that of bringing the bodies Of
Margaret Enos and Sylvester
Nunes 90O feet up from the fire
pit Halemaumau, where Nunes
leaped with the body Of his mur-
dered 17-year-old high school
sweetheart following an unhappy
love affair.
KuniShi went about his work OF
erecting a scaffolding for the ropes
and pulleys whereby he will lower
himself into the pit, unmindful of
the constant roar and seething
of the lava far below.
Nunes shot and killed the girl
after she refused his marriage pro-
posal, and then leaped with her
body in his arms into the smoking
red-lighted crater. National park
rangers discovered their bodies on
a rocky ledge 900 feet below the
craters rim.
Superintendent Leayitt, in charge
of the park area where the volcano
Kilaueau is located, signed the
contract with Kunishi. Payment CT
the $1,000 is to be made only after
Kunishi brings the bodies to the

PETITIONS FOR
SCHOOL, TAXATION
AT FARM BUREAU

Blank petition forms have just
been received at the farm bureau
office providing for an initiative
amendment to the California con-
stitution, by which the farm bu-
reau proposes to relieve the prop
erty tax payers of the counties of
a considerable portion school tax,
by transferring this expense to the
state and providing that the reve-
nue. for the same shall be raised by
income and sales taxes.
The law as it stands at present
requires the county to raise by tax
alton on property a sum equal to
$50 for each pupil, daily average
attendance, N the elementary
schools and $50 for each pupil
daily average attendance in the
high schools. Under the proposed
amendment, all this money would
be provided by the state.
"The present school tax law has
been particularly hard on Imperial
county taxpayers" stated Scott
Foulds, manager of the Imperial
County Farm Bureau, "as the num-
ber of our school children is high
and our valuations are low, thus
requiring a very high tax rate to
raise the required amount. This
year it took a tax rate here of
S109 on the hundred to meet the
requirements of this act, although
the average throughout the state
was only 55 cents on the hundred.
l believe that Imperial county will
benefit more than any county in
the state if this amendment car
ries 1t will mean a reduction of
at least 25 per cent in our tax
bill. The California Farm Bureau
Federation has agreed to secure
$4,000 signatures of the Ill 900 sig
natures required to put this amend
ment on the November ballot. I'M
perial County Farm Bureau has
been assigned quota Of 842 sig
natures. In view Of the benefits
to Imperial county taxpayers, par
ticularly farmers, that would result
from this change, we anticipate no
difficulty in exceeding our quota" "
