100 PER CENT
TO SYNDICATE

The first dividend growing out
Of oil on the South Cut Bank
fold was paid this week by a
group Of Great Falls men. who
received Dividend Check No. /,
in payment Of 1907.
This group was organized by
some OF the Great Falls people
who promoted the Rhoades
group in the early history of
Kevin-Sunlburst. The Rhoades
group bought acreage from Cor
don Campbell, which money pur-
chased his rig and materials for
the discovery well north Of Ke-
vim. The venture paid 1000 per
cent in dividends.
The new group, known as the
Cut Bank Syndicate, leased up
several thousand acres in the
Cut Bank area and
expects to operate as a royalty
company, like the Kalispell-
Kelvin which financed leasing in
