"HE best evidence of success is
SUCCESS. Therefore, If we are to
point to royalties as a vehicle of
sound investment, there must be a record
of success ON which to base any esti-
mate Of probable profit.
In Cut Bank field we have the history
OF four short years-shOrt for tile reason
that the average well in the field is less
than three years old. Yet these wells
serve to strike an average which gives us
some idea what success is possible in
royalty investments.
We find that Cut Bank royalties had
in excess OF one and a quarter millions
of dollars in a fOur-year period and the
first year paid only $4,000 of THAT a.
mount, so it is apparent that 81 .2S6,OOO
was paid in three yearse.
1t is needless to point out that Cut Bank
field was developed at the time of the
absolute slow" of the depression. That
was at a time when people were refusing
to invest their money in aIsy shape or
manner. Only the valiant ones pinned
their faith on Cut Bank. They have
already been handsomely repaid for that
faith.
When we look back at those days we
marvel that our members went into Gut
Bank as heavily they did. Cut Bank
was a parentless sort of an oil field, ex-
listing in violation of all the then-knOwn
rules. 1t was getting its oil from sand
declared tEen to be a ''stray." Now we
know that the Cut Bank sand is one of
the most consistent and extensive sand
bodies that has been found in northern
Montana. But at the time of the dis
covery wells, it was regarded as 'freak"
and not likely of any great extent.
Furthermore, Cut Bank was not even
a structure under the common rules
of geology. Geology teaches IS TO eX-
pect to find oil in a place where the
earth pressures have caused the layers
of rock in the earths crust to buckle or
bend upward. Such up-warp is call
ed a dome or ''anticline." Science
teaches us that oil particles collect ON
water whKch it fed into the formation
from mountains, where sandstones are eX-
posed to mountain streams. The OH De-
ing lighter than water, floats ON top OF
water, and is carried along until it en-
tiers one of these bulges where it is col
Iected, particle by particle and drop Oy
drop, until pool is formed.
Cut Bank does not conform 20 this
rule. While the collection of oil is doubt
less from the west and northwest, mi
grating upward onto the Sweetgrass Arch
Cut Banks oil area is more than thous-
and feet down dip from the "hAgh" OF
the structure. So in theory, there should
he no oil in Cut Bank. Many geologists
had turned Cut Bank dOwn--and they
were absolutely right, for none couIo
know of a shbreline condition that might
serve as a trap for oil on the FLANKs
OF this great structure.
Members of this organization, despite
this, were proponents of the Cut BANK
area long before the discovery OF on.
We had issued a number of publications
ON the district. We knew nothing about
the geology but we knew that wells drill

weston knows 1t. So royalties do not
fall into the category of stocks which
may be sold for much more than they
will ever yield in dividends Therefore
there are definite Limitations on speCu-
IatiOns in royalties and we advise any
who wants merely to OUTGUESS some
other person that he keep ont of roy
alties and go into the stock market or,
more conveniently, to the roulette wheels
in Butte's MeadervilIe.
The facts-the record OF SUCCESS
are Obtainable from OFFICIAL records.
The royalty owner can check with the
tax collecting agencies of Montana the
records Of every producing royalty. There
Is no guess work about what they HAVE
earned. The record OF past performance
is a good guide as to what they WILL
earn in the future.
The members of this organization to-
day have or can have "a complete earning
record of all the royalties we have pur-
chased i'm Cut Bank field. We keep up
a tabuIation OF the production of each
farm by years. This is tOtaled as 10
total production, with the total of the
royalty owners share and the yield of
one per cent on each developed acre.
The yield per cent per acre runs from
cents on a tract which has marketed but
S4S.36 worth of oil up to $4SS.1S PAID
by the best producer i'm the field. Neither
of these figures provides a yard stick
for the royalty investor. He must have
ALL the earnings and therefrom strike
an average to let him know how much
the average developed acre has paid ON
1 per cent royalty.
~ ECENTIIY a new member joined
= our organization. He is an oil
- operator. We bought up some
royalty for him to fill out his leases,
some time ago. He thus became ae-
quainted with our organization and the
service which we provide for investors.
He paid us a high compliment in saying
that he had learned more about the Oil
business and the elements of profitable
production from our publications than
from aIsy other source. We asked him
why he did not buy his own royalties,
since he is located right in the oil fields,
and he replied:
DRILLING wells is my business and
/ know it. Buying royalties is your
business and you know it. I will
drill wells for you; you buy roy
aIties for me. have the equipment
with whsch to drill wells. You have
your organization ana equipment
which handles the minute details of
title, of perfecting my title, caring
for my division orders and other de-
tails. Furthermore, You KNOW roy
atty values and you can buy more
cheapAy than 1 can. Your record.
which is known to me, Is the best
evidence"
We are very proud to add this prom
inent operators name TO our list of re-
ferences, when references are required,
and we are proud OF his recognition of the
success Of our policies, pursued over a
period OF fifteen years.
ANY wkb wishes copies OF our Cut Bank
record can obtain them upon inquiry.

THE BEST EVIDENCE OF
S UCCE S S

AND GAS. So when the Drumheller well
was drilled with commercial amounts of
oil and gas, we went to our members
with the preachment: ''OIL DOES NOT
OCCUR IN SPOONSFUL OR BUCKETS
FULL BUT IN POOLS. WHERE ANY
SHOWING OF OIL is FOUND, LOOK
FOR MORE OIL NEARBY"
That is not an original theory, by any
means, but it is one that has served TO
make lot of money for royalty investors.
1t was doubtless our blind faith in this
theory which, led our members to buy all
the royalty we could possibly afford with
the limited funds available in those de-
preston times.
KAY HEN more wells were drilled, geo.
~ Iogists told us that this oil was
collected i'm the edge of an old
seashOre and the edge of the thinning
sandstone on the beach of the Prehis-
toric sweetgrass Arch island served as a
trap for any oil which may have mi
grated into this sand and upward ahead
Of the water from the mountains.
BY the time everyone had cOmprehended
the geology, it was too late to buy roy
aIties at very advantageous prices, OF
course, but before that time come we had
bought many royalties. CHANGING back
over the list we note one of our early
and 'wiIdest" Observation-Disclosures at
time when we were not at all sure that
the pool would extend that far away from
the discovery well We bought 1t, OF
course. on a wildcat basis, which aford-
ed us a maximum of return. We find
that although no sensational wells nave
been drilled on that tract, it has paid the
royalty owners more than $1,000 for
every 500 invested. The royalty today
has a resale value-and ready market
at FIFTEEN TIMES what our people
paid for it.
The return per developed acre thus
far is $40 on each one percent against
an investment of 81, and the tract is not
fully developed.
Then we find another farm where We
invested SIS per cent per acre and thougnt
we were paying too much, even though ~
was in proven ground. That tract paid
S2,215.6S on each per cent of royalty,
up to january 1, 1887, and is still earn
ing a large return. The developed por-
ton of the tract has paid back $3.50 per
cent per acre, against our investment OF
SIS per cent per acre.
The average man who goes into the
stock market usually tells about the
time when ne MIGHT have sold out
at a profit of ten to one or twenty 20
one. THE actual earnings on their in-
vestment are rather in terms of interest
on investment rather than profits. A
stock investor is usually lucky to get a
stock that will pay nut in eight or 10
years. Not so with royalties. The re-

Executive Committee of
Rod e Gun Club Meets.

The executive committee of the Ely
Rod 81 Gun Club met at Silver Rapids
Lodge, June 7th.
Resolutions were adopted relating to
pike fry for planting in the lakes ot
this vicinity. The resolution called fol
asking the state game and fish depart
ment, as a temporary measure, to in
stall additional batteries in the Tower
hatchery for the purpose of Matching
spawn secured in the local area.
It was thought that in this manner
more fry could be secured for planting
hereabouts and that the additional bat
teries would be able to easily care for
the Ely addition.
A resolution also was adopted which
read: '@That in appreciation of the SER
vices rendered the Ely Rod & Gun
Club in the matter of publicity in the
Ely Miner since the organization OF the
club in 1927, motion was made and
duly seconded that Peter Schaefer,
publisher of the Miner, be granted an
honorary membership in the Club"
The committee decided to dispense
with the meetings of the club during
the summer months or until the second
Tuesday in September.
