will say that we respect his good judg-
ment and the method he employs. But
we do not agree with him. When we
bought this royalty two years ago we
were as confident that it is oil Land as
he is today, now that two wells are
producing 1t. These wells prove up
20 acres, in our estimation: 10 acres
per well. With 20 acres proven out of
a large tract, he is willing TO pay
THREE TIMES as much as we paid. He
certainly has to use the same common
sense in buying the remainder of the
tract as we used in buying ALL Of the
tract two years ago.
We were guided by the fact that this
tract laid between two producing OH
wells. The same contours which crossed
these wells crossed the land ON which
we were buying. We knew the sand to
be present throughout the area We
knew that this sand carried oil. What
more was needed? Vet we had difficulty
in getting enough of our members to
see that far ahead Of the drill.
IL takes time to measure the success
Of amy system or enterprise. We are
convinced that our method Of purchas-
ing royalties is successful. We like TO
buy royalty ON a tract that has pro-
ductt0n, but we reserve the right to
make a commensurate profit based ON
the law of buying oil for low price
and selling 1t for q high price. The last
royalty we purchased in Cut Bank, as
stated, had producing well ON it, but
the price we paid was exactly the same
as IL there was NO well ON it.
In determining the VALUE of a roy
atty we compare the cost per barrel Of
royalty OH In Cut Bank field with the
cost per barrel OF royalty oil In Kelvin
Sunburst or POndera or some other oil
field. IL we can buy oil In underground
storage in one field cheaper than in
another, then that is the place to buy
oil. Thus we have a measuring stick
that keeps us from paying too much per
barrel Of oil i'm underground storage.
We have available new Cut Bank
royalty that illustrates this point. The
cost is comparable with the price we
paid for royalties two years ago. With
development, this tract viii easily be
worth three times the present-day price
even at sacrifice sale"

How Royalty Prices mot values) Are Fixed

This week we had q quotation ON "a
royalty in Cut Bank fieId-a sacrifice
price"-on a farm operated by Mon
tana Power Gas company.
We recognized it instantly as q pro.
perry on which we bought royalty two
years ago.
The sacrifice price" is genuine. 1t is
such a bargain that we were able to
place it Immediately with a large eastern
investor who is in the market for pro-
ducing royalties in Cut Bank field
While it is a bargain, we recall that
it is THREE TIMES what we paid for
this royalty ahead of the drill.
That calls attention to the fact that
our members who own some of this
royalty might sacrifice" also and ac-
cept three-to-one ON their original i'm
vestment of two years ago. Yet at the
same time, we know that they would
be foolish to take such a short profit
for this farm win doubtless produce
not less than FIVE MILLION BARRELS
OF OIL. The owner of one per cent
royalty may therefore expect 40 Of
100000 barrels or $4,000 barrels OF
oil. The man who bought this half
of 10 may expect $4,000 barrels of
oil as his share.
In arriving at this figure we take the
expected average recovery per acre and
cut that i'm half. We figure in this man
ner that our people have bought this
oil for about four cents a barrel. IL is
oil in underground storage. -Four cents
is the investment in each barrel of
royalty oil that Will be brought TO the
surface and sold at 81 per barrel or
more. The present price is $f.8S per
barrel. 1t has been as high as $50 per
barrel but 1t is safe to figure 81 per
barrel.
The man who buys oil at cents a
barrel, to be delivered to him when the
market is afforded, free of cost of pro-
duction, makes a generous profit when
it brings 81 per BARELY times his
investment. We figure in terms OF the
MINIMUM as we see 1t.
But we now approach the point we
wish TO make, as regards the present
price:
The present price of this royalty is
three times what we paid. That means
that the oil i'm underground storage
costs three times four cents or ~ cents.
Thus the. seller who might otherwise get
81 per barrel for his oil will get only
10 cents for his oil and someone else

Roaming Walls
Of Baker Well

The slow work of roaming out
cement and side walls of the pro-
ducing formation is today in pro-
gress at the Dakota Montana Utili-
ties Discovery oil well on Baker
GIendive anticline. Work resumed
with rotary tools on Thursday night,
after the producing formation had
been cemented virtually to the top.
The purpose OF the operation is
to skim oil off the top and TO
hold back water which "coned"
in the well when it was allowed to
flow at the rate of $40 barrels per
per hour during its initial test.
