THE completion of second well
on one Of the Cut Bank farms on
which our members have royalty
recently jumped the rate of income
Of these people from around 1909
per annum to 3009o per annum-
The first well was drilled more
than year after our purchase Of the
royalty. We bought the property
ahead of the drill and waited for de-
velopment. The first well drilled was
a relatively small producer. Yet it
paid our members Of the
royalty-a return Of 100 per cent
per annum.
Now a second well has been COM
pleted-twice as good as the first
one. It now boosts the return to a
rate of return of 800 per cent per
annum.
That is q modest rate Of return for
royalties in Cut Bank field. 1t does
not take many royalties earning at
that rate to build up nice income
from very small Investment.
The AVERAGE well in Cut Bank
field produces around SO barrels Of
oil per day.
At the present price of $145, this
means that the AVERAGE well pro-
duces $50 per day. The smallest well
in the field is averaged with the larg-
est well in the field in the totals which
make up this average, Of course.
But the average may be conservative
" applied to 300 days Of operation
in the year, this giving shutdown time
for cleaning out, bad weather and
other interruptions.
Multiply 50 by 300 to find the an
nual average and we find the average
wen producing $15,6OO per annum.
The landowners share of the aver
age well, operated 800 days year,
is 81, $50. Each one per cent of roy
atty pays $156 per annum, on the
average, from one well.
pTvHIS does not spell riches over
night" The man who invests a
few hundred dollars and gets re-
turn Of from 100 per cent to 500 per
cent per annum does not get rich, but

One Safe Investment That Escapes
Excessive Taxation

must come through corporate form.
In other words the corporation tax
rate which must be paid before de
vidends can be distributed, are so
much greater than personal income
taxes that the average little fellow"
is today seeking investments which
do not have to go through corporate
hands.
The result is that royalties are
sought by persons who KNOW what
they are talking about when they
venture to invest In royalties The
intelligent investor knows, first Of
all:
l. How much oil am 1 buying IN
underground storage, under the &C
cepted estimates Of reserves in this
field9
2. Have / perpetual title to the
right to receive this oili
3. What are the probabilities that
this tract contains oili
These are the questions which this
organization seeks to answer when
ever a property is submitted to one
Of its members. Unless man can see
his way clear to make money through
his investments, it is not likely that
he viii succeed. 1t is imperative,
therefor, that he first of all know
HOW his money is going to be made.
The old school of royalty investors
wanted to know: How FAST am /
going to get my money backf In
other words, he invested in RATE
OF RETURN, rather than investing
in oil in underground storage.
In no investment in Cut Bank
field have we risked getting returns
of less than five TO one, if the tract
produces the MINIMUM average
amount of oil set up by any geologi-
cal authorities in the field. The ratio
of our possible returns ranges from
five up to 100 to /.
WE consider royalties a safe.

he makes MORE MONEY that he can
make in any other line Of investment
of which we know.
We know Of one investor who has
approximately $500 invested in his
royalties. The last time we checked
up, he had an income of around $3.50
per month. He has been lucky enough
to get royalties OH tracts which have
had rapid development, in the north
end Of the field. However, when he
bought them, he was taking long
chances" because he was going out
onto the edges Of the field, as it then
appeared. The royalty came along
the strip lands" to the east Of the
Blackfeet Indian reservation, where
development was quick. AS result
he has a nice income. He is not
getting rich, perhaps. He has money
back and his investment is earning
100 per cent per annum, with only a
fraction of his royalty developed.
With continued development his rate
of return viii doubtless continue to
grow and it will doubtless last for
the next 10 or Is and possibly 20
years.
The point is that we know of no
place where his 81 500 is SAFER
than when invested in oil in under
ground storage. Whenever any oil is
taken from the ground in which he
has royalty, he win receive his right
full share. It is not subject to tax
alton until he sells his oil 1t is one
of the few things in which a person
can invest his money that is not sub
ject to taxation while it remains idle.
A town lot, q building, a farm, or
other property including money in
the bank is subject to taxation, ex-
cepting only government or state
bonds. And how far can the average
person get with per cent interest
on the few hundred dollars he ex-
poets to put to work.
r IKE all other income, the income
from royalties is subject to taxes.
However, the rate of tax on roy
atty income is not nearly SO great as
the rate Of tax on any income that
