MOntana's premier oil and gas field.
1t was he who drilled the Michaels
discovery gas well which brought
about the development of the gas
pool. After he entered the oil area
to the west he moved out more than
six miles TO the north, in wildcat
territory and drilled the first well
on Blackfeet Indian tribal lands.
He was subsequently rewarded for
this adventure by his great Santa
Rita-Lander No. I, which came in
with an initial of 800 barrels per

HISTORY TO GUIDE US

as royalty prices scared. Some of our
members who like TO take a profit sold
out part of their holdings We re-
call one member who sold out with a
profit of for each 81 invested-nnd
thereafter regretted it, because he could
find no place TO re-invest his money at
the rate of return that was provided by
the first well drilled on the farm.
Then we saw the completion of the dis
cOvery well in the Big Bend pool at an
elevation so IOw-arOund $50 feet above
sea level, as we recalI-that we did not
believe in it, so we did not leash in"
ON that westward extension.
AND REPEATS AGAIN
Having learned the lesson completely
we quickly learned to recognize the
symptoms" of new producing area. The
drilling of the north Out Bank discovery
well, closer to the BOrder-Red COulee field
than to the oil producing area of Cut
Bank field brought together adequate cvi-
dence such as was provided by the Santa
Rita-Tribal well ON the north and the
South Cut Bank discovery well on the
south.
The discovery wei on North Cut Bank
appeared to be better than either of the
other two discovery wells. 1t flowed
over the top of the derrick as it was drill
ling I'm, owing TO the presence of about
100000 cubic feet of gas with the oil.
1t looked like a big well until the drill
Iers continued on deeper and encountered
water. Thereafter a second well was
drilled across a cOuIee to the north of
the discovery well. It was completed as
a dry hole. Thus interest in North Cut
Bank waned. But the facts still re-
manned that:
(D The Cut Bank sand is present
and Is oil bearing.
(2) There is more evidence of pres
sure in the area than elsewhere I'm the
field, and
(3) The presence of a water table
improves the chance for larger prOduc-
ton than elsewhere in the field where
there is no water table established, bar
ring the Santa Rita-Lander district where
sensational production is doubtless back
ed mp by water table that keeps fore
ing the oil up into the local fold
Interest I'm North Cut Bank waned,
excepting the Yukon Oil Co., Santa Rita
subsidiary which drilled the discovery
well. This cOmpany's leases were main
out This fall, Yukon drilled another
well three quarters of a mile southeast
of the discovery wei, higher on struc-
ture.
At last reports this well had some oil,
coming Unexpectedly from the top of the
sand. It does not look like another Lam
der well at this writing, but it estab-
fishes again that the man who sat idly
around, without capitaIizing the facts
which everyone knew, has again 'smuffed"
a golden opportunity. Strange as it may
seem, we had difficulty I'm convincing
some of our members I'm this matter
We reasoned with them that EVEN IF
THE YUKON'S PRESENT WE'LL WERE
DRY, it still would not disprove the ex-
istence of a pool in North Gut Bank. be-
cause the presence of the ancient sea-
coast is PROVEN, at the right elevation.
Also we have never lost sight of the fact
that short distance northeast is the
Border oil field in which was completed
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1938-12-03

IF our foresight were only as good as
our hindsight" is our cOmmOnest altbi
for failure to take advantage of a situa-
ton and this weeks events in North Cut
Bank will bring this old phrase back into
use.
1t is difficult for us to admit that fore
sight, is based on "hindsight," but IL
is a fact. The man who has made a study
of oil field development can pretty well
forsee what Is going to happen in the
future IL he knows intimately of the
history of past developments.
Members of this organization own some
of the most valuable royalties in the best
producing area of Cut Bank oil field as a
result of having prOfited by earlier his
tory of development. In other words, we
soon discovered that Cut Bank field owes
its existence to a shore line condition
an ancient beach ON the great uplift
known as the Sweetgrass Arch. We
quickly discovered, also, that the accumu-
IatiOn of oil i'm this sandstone occurred
quite uniformly along an elevation about
900 feet above sea level.
BIT OF HISTORY
The first important wildcat" drilled
after the discovery of the field was the
Santa Rita-TribaI well i'm Section 1885
CIV. We knew that Santa Rita had ade-
quate geological guidance so that we need
not worry about the geology, knowing
that the area between the then producing
wells and the Tribal wildcat would like
ly be equally good oil land. But we
had difficulty in getting our members to
back up this belief with investments in
royalties, matter how cheap, because
IL was miles from production. We bought
royalties but could have bought ten times
as much. The Santa Rita-Trtbal well
i'm
choose proven ground thereafter-fOr
it produced throughout the entire dis
tance of more than six miles. Royalty
prices quickly went so high as to pre-
cIude highly profitable investment i'm that
area. We realized what we had missed.
That gave us all facts needed to guide
us in the future. So when the Texas
company started the joint adventure well
in Section 16-32-5W, eight miles south
of the nearest producing well, we were
interested in only two factors:
(1) Whether the Cut Bank sand was
present and
(2) The elevation of the Cut Bank
sand above sea level at this point
HISTORY REPEATS
The well came in a producer, al
though it was EIGHTEEN MILES away
from the far north well drilled by Santa
Rita. So we began buying royalty on
farms between the south discovery well
and the nearest well in the main field,
following the 0OO-925-fOOt contours,
This time our members recognized the
handwriting on the wall and we bought
royalties ON thousands of acres includ-
ing some of our most successful purchas-
es, at prices we ordinarily pag for the
widest wildcat royalties
Then followed the drilling of the Sc
cOnd well in the South Cut Bank area, by
Montana Power Gas 90. We remember
how we ''heId our breath" as this well
was drilled in, for there were some who
maintained that there was a syncline
between Cut Bank and the South Cut
Bank discovery well. When this second
well came in, the doors were virtually
closed to highly profitable investment,

day and which in less than three
years has produced over $3.50, 900
worth of oil and Is still flowing.
O'Neil's company, the Santa Rita,
was one of the three joint adj
ventures in the South Cut Bank
test, then eight miles beyond pro-
ductiOn, which found production,
that well being known as TexacO-
State No. 1. Although his Yukon
jacobson well established the pre-
sence of oil in North Cut Bank in
1888, he delayed for five years the
development which this week proved
the north area as likely the most
prolific part of Cut Bank field.

Queer today, owing to the fact that care

THIS is NOT NEWS

There is no fact herein contained that
has not been made known TO every men,
Der of this organization by a series of
publications which have traced develop
ment history over period of years. 10
us it appeared a very simple matter to
conclude that this area will produce,
well as the area between the first Tar
rant wells and the Santa Rtta-Trtbal and
as the area between Cut Bank and the
South Cut Bank discovery well.
AS this is written, there stim remains
the question whether the Yukon well
will be a large well or a mere showing
of oil. However we feel that the fact
that there is ANY oil present is suf-
ficient. And with that fact comes again
the closing of the portals to great i'm
vestment opportunities. The greatest pro-
fits have always come, In our experience,
from investments AHEAD OF THE
DRILL The North Gut Bank situation
could not have been more advantageous
to the royalty investor who can think
clearly. When other wells come in the
nOn-thinkers rush in to provide a profit
TO the spectators and to boost royalty
prices beyond the place where the think
ing investors win buy.
In a situation like this we always work
quietly, keeping our members provided

after the well comes in, we are not hesi-
tant TO publish the facts even though we
know that it will have the effect of
boosting royalty prices, which might seem
contrary to our best interests. However,
we know that royalty prices will go up,
no matter what we say or dO-and that
is another thing we have been taught
in FIFTEEN years OF royalty buying in
Montana oil fields.
1t simply means that the royalty in
weston who would succeed must put some
study into his investments. He must pro-
coed on a careful systematic policy, MAX
ing each dollar perform a maximum of
service. We believe that this organization
can provide members with development
history and data to provide the necessary
guidance for any thinking investor. We
believe that the North Cut Bank situation
is going to open up some startling new
possibilities We win send current pub
