NEAR DISCOVERY
WELL IN kelvin

Agen & Goeddertz have spotted a
well in SEX NEH 16-s5-sW. near
the discovery well in Kelvin field
The discovery we'll actually made
90 barrels when completed and Il
is now known that had it been aci-
died It would have been good for
100 barrels or better. That was II
years before the use of acid was
known, so the discovery we'll has
been long since abandoned. The new
Goeddertz well is not far from the
Black Magic we'll which flowed
when drilled in. The Black Magic
was drilled into water and abandon
ed but not until after it had per-
formed so sensationally that a pipe
line had been laid TO take the oil
to Sunburst. The pipeline was torn
up a few weeks later. The land be-
longs to Albert Goeddertz, one of
the three who brought about the
of Kevin-Sunburst
field by employing Gordon Campbell
to make the first survey.

RAY AUSTIN Is NEW
MANAGER, DOWELL BRANCH

Dowell incorporated announces
the appointment of Ray Austin as
district manager of the Rocky
Mountain district with headquarters
at Shelby.
Mr.. Austin has had long expert
ence in the oil industry and was one
of the first group of men to join
Dowell in the acidizing Of oil wells.
Headquarters will be opened again
at Shelby next week. Permanent
storage tanks were constructed at
shelby last summer. A new steer
warehouse will be added this sea-
son. Equipment and materials VIVA
arrive at Shelby so as to establish
service by May 10.
Dowell Incorporated also expects
10 establish service in Wyoming for
this summer. If there is sufficient
demand for acidizing there, more
permanent station will be estab-
fished, probably at Thermopolis,.
according to John G. Staudt, OF
Tulsa, assistant manager.

few years until we get back to 'normaIcy'
for none of ms believe that taxes will
continue to pyramid I'm the future as they
have In the past. During the period
between now and ''normaIcy'', where Will
a mans money be safe?
There is but one answer, and that is
apparent: PUT YOUR MONEY IN THE
GROUND.
TVH HE purchase of landowners royalty
is the purchase of OIL IN UNDER
GROUND STORAGE. If q man buys
oil for five cents q barrel, he has little
to worry about: he knows that he can
sell it at q profit now or i'm the future.
Oil is the ONE commodity that viii of
necessity grow more and more valuable
over the period of years. Thus, the man
who owns oil i'm underground storage is
SECURE. ANY time any oil is brought
to the surface, the royalty owner must
receive his share, free of cost of pro-
duction. That is the meaning OF troy
atty. OF course, he VIII have to pay
taxes ON his income. He is willing to do
that. But he pays no property taxes on
the oil which remains in the ground nor
ON his reserves or otherwise. There
is no tax on nOn-productive royalties.
Surprising an investor were given
opportunity TO buy oil in lealz-proOf
the understanding that ne would
have to pay no property taxes: to pay
taxes only when part of the oil is
taken from the storage tanks.
There is a hundred million dollars of
capital in the United States that would
be instantly invested in such a propO-
sitiOn. Everyone knows that oil would
sell for 81 per barrel Or mOre-likeIy
much more. To escape taxation Is i'm
itself a good return ON the investment
and when we add to that a chance to
sell for 10 to 4, we have an UtOpian
investment.
Such an opportunity is afforded by i'm
vestment in royalties. We buy oil i'm
underground storage on the basis of a
few cents on the dollar. So long as the
oil remains in the ground, it does not
evaporate, nor does it shrink in any
other manner. We pay no property
taxes Our investment is not subject to
taxation under federal state tax laws.
The value of our oil may double, but the
tax collector does not penalize us for 1t.
We may know with fair certainty that
we have q hundred thousand dollars
worth of oil under our various proper
ties. While the tax collector is taking
our other property away from as, our
royalty oil remains undepleted, save as
part OF the oil is brought to the surface
Of the ground.
In the event OF death, an estate consist
ing of, royalties is likely to escape the
pfFiagfng that our modern inheritance

taxes have caused. A board of appraisers
usually knows little about royalty values.
As a rule, royalties are given a nominal
appraisal, frequently the sum OF $40 Or
800. General ignorance of royalty
values is the distinctive advantage of
the royalty investor. This may seem like
a strange statement, yet we are not at
all fearful that publication of these facts
viii change the situation one iOta. Roy
aIties were virtually unknown except to q
few operators and bankers when we
entered the royalty business is years ago.
1t win be another is years before the
rank and file viii have anything more than
a hazy idea of royalties or royalty values.
"HE question Immediately arises:
HOW DOES THE ROYALTY 1N-
VESTOR KNOW ROYALTY VAL-
UEs?
We answer that question by showing
every member of THIS organization how
to figure royalty values. 1t is relatively
simple mathematics to figure out how
much the AVERAGE acre Of oil land has
yielded in the past--with 20 years of pro-
duction history behind the oil industry.
If we figure that undrilled ground Will
produce in the future as much as the
AVERAGE acre has produced I'm the past,
and then cut that In two, as basis for
our investment, then we at least have
the estimates of petroleum biologists on
the expected recovery from any one field.
We can take the various factors such as
sand thickness, porOsity, ETC., and figure
out for ourselves the PROBABLE aver
age recovery per acre of a given oil
field, once we become acquainted with the
method employed.
HOW CAN A PERSON GET THIS
VALUABLE INFORMATION?
Membership in this organization is all
that is requird. Unless a man can
figure royalty values and can draw his own
conclusions from the facts which we as
sembIe, he cannot make money i'm royal
ties. So before he goes far into roy
aIties he MUST understand the natural
advantages afforded by this type of i'm
vestment.
One of the best guides to the future
is the irrefutable record of the past.
No investor should buy n royalty in Gut
Bank today or I'm the future unless he
knows the history of the PAST I'm that
field. He must know how much the
AVERAGE developed acre has paid In the
past, to give him some idea how much
the average acre viii pay in the future.

who lacks this information about Gut

WILL TAXES EAT UP YOUR
INVESTMENT?

"HE ONE stable Investment in Ameri-
ca today is i'm LANDOWNERS
M ROYALTIES.
The reason for this statement is found
in the forthcoming tax program, now
formulating in congress.
At the present time about so per cent
OF every dollar we earn is taken for the
support of our various forms Of govern
ment. In order to support the many new
deal projects, IL has become necessary
for the government to raise MORO money.
There is only one way of raising that
money and that one way is to make people
OF the United States pay, In proportion to
their respective properties.
The tax collector is blind, SO far as
humanity is concerned. A man may
leave a good estate, in the form of real
estate, bonds or other property TO his
family. The property is evaluated by
appraisers and the tax collector comes to
get his share. He viii not wait: he cam
not compromise. The tax must be paid
Immediately. Thus 10 may be necessary
to wreck the otherwise valuable estate
in order to raise cash money for the tax
collector.
The writer once became eOnxRnced
that the safest investment was i'm farm
lands. So he took the profits he had
made from royalty Investments and put
them i'm farm lands on the theory that
the price OF the land could not possibly
go any lower: that the land had an earn
ing capacity great enough to Insure the
investment. All this was true, but, the
writer did not reckon with the tax coli
IectOr. When years of depression ar
rived it was impossible to sell the land
at a profit. There nothing to do
but pay the taxes. As result, the i'm
vestment in the land grew and when the
value Of everything that the land might
produce dropped off, there was one con-
slant factOr-Out of line with all else
and that was TAXES. So il was that
TAXES ate up the investment.
The new federal tax program is not
to be criticized. The soldiers bonus
must be paid; the public works program
must go on; there is no alternative. But
SOMEONE must pay the bills. Rather
than have the government cOnfiscate cash
reserves, the corporations will pay divi-
dends. The stockholders have big divi-
dend DAYS ahead But those who rejoice
over this fact must not forget that the
whole purpose of the plan was not TO
get dividends for stockholders but to
chase the money out into the open. So
when the money is paid the tax collector
will be standing at the rathOle ready to
grab a lions share of dividends, to meet
the present emergency.
i Meantime property taxes go ON as an
increasing burden to business. We all
wonder Where to turn during the next
