well, these wells give MS some idea of
ultimate recovery I'm this field. IL one
well produces $4,000 barrels from five
acres, we have a recovery of 5000 bar
Fels to the acre. That is the production
of these wells TO DATE That is 1000
barrels in excess of the highest estimate
OF ultimate recovery per acre we have
ever considered. We have NEVER used
that recovery factor as basis for buy
ing. These wells win produce a lot more
than $4,000 each, as shown by their
1885 production record.
Be that as it may, we had this royalty
for distribution. The cost was TWO
DOLLARS PER CENT PER ACRE. That
is, each acre must produce $500 worth
of oil to pay out. II the yield were
5000 barrels wOrtR $4,000, the return
would be three Thousand per cent ON
an Investment of SO per cent per acre.
Considering that the farm is positively
proven oil land, it is apparent that this
royalty is a PRESENT to anyone we turn
it to. This very royalty was formerly
held at $40 per cent per acre.
So it was that we "evened ND" with
some of our friends willis this royalty, and
this is only one of many royalties we
have bought at bargain prices-bargatns
which can never be duplicated.
We figure that not q dollar win ever
be lost on a Kevin-Sunburst Investment
made through us by our members, In view
of the science of acidizatfOn and the
future prospects of deep sand production
greater than the shallow horizons. This
is predicted on the fact that we have
always held our purchases to a price
that we felt certain will pay out plus
an adequate profit. Once did we ''sIkp
up' and bought a royalty for $50 an
acre point That was too much and we
knew it, but the purchase resulted from
popular demand from members who took
il mp. It has paid out its cost plus a
profit or around 20 per cent, as we now
recall, so we have mo worry from that.
The bargain days are about over. As
we get titles Strengthened out, we put
these bargains out TO our members but
we are coming TO the last end of
group of investments THAT we believe
viii make more money for our members
than any other purchases we have ever
made. Our members have bought Kevin-
Sunburst royalties for mbeIieveabIy low
prices as a result of circumstances that
ever be duplicated in this field.
If there is any member whb has been
''Ieft outs i'm the distribution of these
bargains we want him TO write to ms now.
We viii have some more properties I'm
Kevfn~Sunburst ready shortly.

OUR CHANCE TO @PAY BACK

with two producing wells on 1t. 1t is a
$50 acre farm on which not less than 60
more wells will be drilied-possibly 40.
These two wells should have been aban-
doned years ago, but they are still pro-
ducing, contrary to the rules. They are
most interesting to ms for they tell us
something about Kevin-Sunburst fields
potential. These were among the first
two wells drilled In the field. One had
an initial of 49, barrels per day. The
other had an initial OF S5 barrels per
day. They have been producing for near
ly FOURTEEN YEARS.
We have always figured wells I'm this
field would have q life OF 10 years. That
was below acidizatiOn. Many experts
had said 10 years was liberal allowance.
At the end of that time a well would be
producing so little that it would not
pay to pump IT. These two wells are
therefore nearly four years past the dead
line and they produced under 40 to 80
per cent proratiOn during 1888 a total of
$2,624.75 worth of oil. Whether they
would have made twice that much, we
do no know. IL is interesting, however,
to see that wells drilled In 1922 are pro-
ducfng commercial amounts.
These wells are in a district where it
costs $4,000 to $500 to drill a well.
tools. The better the operator, THE lower
the cost. It is an interesting fact that
these two wells, which can be duplicated
today for $4,000, are paying for them
selves every 500 days under proratiOn.
We know a lot OF fields that do not that
well.
But the most astonishing thing about
these two wells Is their production record.
Given q guess, we would have said that
possibly they had produced 10000 bar
reIs each in their lifetime to date.-The
fact is that they have produced I'm excess
of SIXTY THREE THOUSAND BAR
REFS. That means that each well has
produced more than 10000 barrels of oil
worth more than 1000.
Where can an operator drill $4,000
well and get back $4,000?
The answer is: KEVIN-SUNBURST.
THAT is not an estimate or a guess, but
an actual production record.
We figure that a well win drain a
maximum OF five acres I'm this field.
The old spacing was nine wells to 40
acres. We believe that eight wells drain
40 acres-but no less. We have talked
with the best operators I'm the field and
a majority of them figure eight wells
to 40 acres I'm the ultimate development
plan, with mo- center location.

w. URING the last few weeks we have
been able to ''pay back many of the
~ older members of this organization
for their faith i'm the ability OF our
officers in buying royalties. We have
bought royalties during the past 10
years that have not turned out well.
We have secured some royalty on
practically every wildcat well dFflfed
during that time. Most of these failed.
THAT is the usual thing to be expected
when the odds are 1OO-tO-1. However,
we mighty sorry 90 see q man invest
a single dollar i'm Montana royalties and
not get it back. There is but one ching
to do: that is, to balance every WILDCAT
royalty with two PROVEN GROUND roy
aIties which viii not only pay profit
for themselves but viii offset THE loss on
the wildcat.
1t has been our policy to find royalties
that we thought desirable or which our
members asked for. We gather all the
information we can find, from biologists,
operators and others, all OF which facts
are presented to our members with the
query: SHALL WE BUY THIS roy
Atty?
If enough members say they want to
buy, we close the deal and divide the
royalty among those who have expressed
a desire to participate. We make it
rule never to advise. When we advise a
person to make a certain investment,
there is a moral obligation: in other
words, we take the responsibility from
the Judgment OF the investor and put IL
on our own shoulders. That we cannot
do and continue in business. We have
always worked ON the theory that IL we
present all the facts fairly and honestly
and a member buys ON his own Judgment
and well is drilled and finds no oil, he
cannot blame us. He cannot say: IF you
had not urged me, would have put my
money into something else"
Recently we have deviated from the
rule. We picked up some bargains I'm
royalties which we could safely guarantee
with a right arm as a forfeit. That is
how we have been able TO ''pay back
some of our members who have failed
to make as much money as we think they
should from royalty Investments.
In several cases we have figuratfveIy
taken a member by the lapel and said:
1--WE want You to have this royalty,
for il win make You money enough to
pay a profit ON all you have invested"
AS an example, during the past week
we divided mp half the landowners roy
atty ON a farm In Kevin-sunburst field

SULTAN CONSIDERS
M STREET BYPASS
Officials Told to Complete
Studies for Artery Tap
ping Key Bridge.

Estimates for construction of one
of several proposed new traffic arteries
as a bypass for NJ street in George
town may be considered during prepa-
ration of the 1887 budget proposals.
Engineer Commissioner Dan l. Sultan
announced today.
Officials of the District and Federal
Governments are making technical
studies of three possibilities: Con-
struction of a high-level water-f front
roadway to run from Rock Greek to
Key Bridge; building traffic way over
the Old Chesapeake & Ohio Canal and
construction of an elevated roadway
over the railroad tracks on K and
water streets.
All three are intended to provide
relief for traffic congestion along NJ
street in Georgetown. and would have
a connection with Key Bridge.
Following a conference yesterday
afternoon Col. Sultan asked officials
to complete their studies and to have
plans ready for adoption in case one
of the projects might be built under
the w. P. A. program this year, or for
possible inclusion in the 1897 District
estimates.
Studies are being made by Director
of Highways H. C. Whitehurst, Tax
Assessor Fred Allen. Secretary Thomas
S. Settle of the Planning Commission
and Acting Corporation Counsel Yer

TRANSIENT LODGE
MUST BE VACATED
Owner Seeks Possession of No. 2
Logan Circle, Which Has
Housed Students.

With the end of the present school
term the District must give up pos
session of the old transient lodge at
No. Logan Circle, where during the
past year 20 or more unemployed
youths have been provided lodging
under the Works Progress Admins
tration while continuing their studies.
Whether the project for the students
will be resumed next Fall, under con-
tinuation of the w. P. A.. planned in
the pending deficiency bill appropria-
tion. has not been settled, Commis-
sioner George E. Allen said today.
The project was taken over as a
w. P. A. project after the ending last
Fall of the transient relief program.
At that time the Federal w. P. A.
made a special authorization for con-
tinuation of the project.
The owner of the Logan Circle
property has given notice he wishes
to regain possession at the end of this
month.
The project has been given con-
siderable publicity since the youths
set up an unusual system of self
discipline as they continued their
school courses at the expense of the
Government in its program of aid for
the unemployed.

NEW TYPE PARKING
GARAGE APPROVED
Designer Says He Can Obtain Site
for Steel and Slab Structure
on G Street.

A proposed new type Of parking
garage which would consist of steel
framework, with floors formed of pre-
cast concrete slabs, has passed muster
before District engineers and been
sent to the Fine Arts Commission and
the Park and Planning Commission
for comment.
The designer told Engineer Com
missioner Dan l. Sultan he believed
he could obtain a site on G street
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets for construction of a plant.
If plans met with approval.
Cars would be elevated from one
floor to another by hydraulic
elevator. Col. Sultan said the plan
was the cheapest type he had viewed
yet. The suggested plan was for two
stories but Col. Sultan said a garage
of the proposed construction could be
built to or 10 stories.
One feature, Col Sultan was in
formed, was that a garage of the
type could be taken down and moved
to a new site with but little loss.
The design was offered as an
economical one, rather than a type
designed for beauty, the commissioner
said.
