ments rocks will bend like

Mountain region became the
weakest spot on this side Of
The globe, the internal pres
,sures OF the earth began bend
ing the earth's crust. For a
time the crust took up the
pressure by buckling and fold
in but finally rocks which
were bent beyond endurance
gave way and the crust uckled
up thousands OF feet In the
air-and broke.
Not even a Jules vern or
an Edgar Allen Poe has the
imagination to visualize the
enormous forces In the up
rising of the Rocky Noun

by the realization that the

Rocky Mountains are sign
boards pointing the way to
deposits of oil.
AS these formations we're
thrust upward through thou
sands of feet of oil shales,
the sediments were subjected
to terrific squeezing, crump-
ling, crushing and breaking,
repeated again and again
Look at the gigantic peaks OF
the face Of the Rocky Noun
tains towering thousands of
feet above the plains. Those
mountains did not come up
where they now stand. They
came up so miles Westward
over In Idaho. SO terrific were
the growing pains OF Mother
Nature That these mountains
were shunted over the plains
for q distance OF sixty miles.
This gave birth TO the great
est geological phenomena in
the world: the Lewis over
thrust.
Knowing that two rocks rub
bed together generate heat,
we can begin to realize the
heat generated by pressure
attendant to the uprising OF
the Rocky Mountains.
Thus we have the greatest
oil retort in the world. with
$4,000 feet Of materials to
be distilled over an area from
Old Mexico to the Arctic Cir
Gle. Everywhere over this vast
area oil Is found along the
face Of the mountains IN the
traps which also result from
the process OF mountain build
ing. These traps are called
domes and antic1ines.

THE BEST PLACE TO LOOK FOR OIL
1.-THE 0

The year 1895 was not
much Of a year for dividends
but there was one class of
Montana investors who were
OF A MILLION DOLLARS
paid over THREE QUARTERS
during the 12-month period.
They are the owners OF
Landowners Royalties in Mon
tana oil fields. The land
owners share of the Montana
oil marketed in 1885 was
slightly over $750,O0O.
This was clean. pure. new
wealth: not taken from the
pockets OF widows and or
phans and not racketeered
from other industry. Further
more It was paid in CASH.
This year will see me pay
ment Of a million dollars OF
more to owners of Landown-
ers' royalties in Montana oil
fields, for the Montana oil in
dustry is Enthusiastically going
to have a year of great ex-
pansion.
The investors share of
this wealth is going to per-
sons who know something of
the fundamentals Of the oil
industry. The basic fundamen-
tai is GEOLOGY. Mother Ma
ture hides her treasures with
such care that there Is no
danger that anyone will dis
cover a rule of thumb which
will SUDDENLY impoverish her.
At the same time, she leaves
markers which plainly point
the way to those who can
read her signs. The science
OF reading these markers or
signs is called Geology"
The person who would sue
ceed in the oil industry must
know something of geoioxy.
It Is not necessary for him
TO be able to 60 out and find
an oil structure: that is work
for college-tradned engineers
armed with delicate scienti-
Tic instruments. But he must
be able TO understand the
language" He will be able to
profit by the other mans ed
ucation.
OH is present In the ground
in tremendous quantities, as
evidenced by the fact that tre-
mendous quantities have been
found and recovered. The fact
that Il is present is sufficient
However 1T is well to know
something of its origin. With
that fact, we have some idea
where to look for oil and
what is more important--we
know quite positively where
oil will NOT be found. As an
example, we know without
reasoning that no oil can be
found in granite. So we would
not drill a we'll nor buy roy
alties on lands where the for
mation Is granite.
OH Is positively related to
mountains. both as 70 origin
and as 30 accumulation. That
IS the reason that the Rocky
Mountains serve as the mark
er for the greatest deposits
OF oil In the world. The
Rocky Mountains came ur
through the richest beds OF
source material in the known
world. Mountains are the re-
suit of heat and pressure,

1.-THE Origin of the Rockies


the mountain making of the
earth. Speaking in terms Of
cons the mountains of today
will be the ocean beds Of to-
morrow. The highest mountain
IN the world is reduced. speck
by speck to the lowest spot.
The great weight OF the Rocky
Mountains is being slowly but
surely carried away In We
form Of muddy water. and
this weigh is being trans
ferred to the Gulf OF Next

Ell into shales. As the Gulf
Of Mexico is filled with this
mud the weight of the earth
will bulge the crust else

mountain range on this con-
tinent will likely be in Can

vealed by the recent earth
quake. When that range rears

swamps Montana may again

oncPusted with the lime which
forms en- the bottom of the
ocean.
The Rocky Mountain region
was once a low spot. as the
Gulf of Mexico is a low spot
today. AS the mud-laden wa
tsrs sweep down the rivers i'm
to the ancient Montana seas,
hev Farry with them con-
siderable amount of organic
materials from land plants
and animals-seeds. bark,
leaves, pieces OF wood, etc,
which make up part OF the
hydrncarbons of what we
know as shales. The amount
OF these is doubtless small in
comparison to the organic ar
FOUNDATIONS derived from the
animals and plants Of the
ocean.
Here on land we have
practically but one plane OF
existence for both animals and
vegetables, while in the sea
there may be many. TIE sur
face may be alive with one
type OF organism while a few
feet deeper below will come
the habitat of another. Each
increase in depth furnishes a
home for a different type OF
organism which through the
ages formed the organic mat
eriali found in our sedimen-
tary rocks In the Rocky Noun
tain region. These organisms
enriched the shale through
countless centuries while the
Rocky Mountain shales were
being laid down.
Petroleum comes from these
sediments. That we know by
puny unan-made methods. The
government is conducting an
experimental retorting plant
in CoIorao where shales are
placed in q retort capable Of
high heat and great pressure.
Petroleum Is extracted from
these shales. Similar expert
ments have been made on
shales near Dillon. Mon ana.
Without heat and pressure.
the petroleum win never be
recovered from these shases.
But 1t II there, nevertheless.
Some day It will be retorted.
Nature does this retorting FOR
man on q. scale OF heat and
pressure beyond human mag
ination, as in the example OF
the Rocky Mountains.
