atty in return for the necessary cash.
We have bought some tracts in fee
simple dividing the landowners royalty
among our members. We have spread
probably oil producing until we are now
quite satisfied to see drilling go ahead.
While interest has centered I'm the
north end OF the field, with the drilling
of the Grant and Parent wells, we have
concentrated ON the area south which is
known TO be higher on the local those"
which forms the chief geological feature
of the district. This West Kelvin nose
was mapped by the Standard of Cali
fOrnia, fourteen years ago. One well was
drilled. That was before the days Of ac-
id. 1t was abandoned as dry hole.
When we stop to consider the proximity
of dry hole to the flowing Enneberg well
we are not alarmed by ANY failure in
a limestone field. The logical place to
expect the largest wells is ON the
high" of a given district, so we are still
looking for the "big news to break I'm
the central portion of the field.
We are now watching the Fifty-Six
well. in Section 1S-34-4W, which will
doubtless be a completion within the
next month or so. This well Is near the
thigh" as mapped by several biologists.
BY Gne time that well Is completed, we
viii have finished up our buying in
the area. Our members will have enough
royalty so that If it is an oil field, they
will he pretty well provided for no mat
ter whether the high" or the fanks of
the fold produce. Certain it is that this
oil will not go begging for a market.
1t is higher gravity than the average
Cut Bank oil. Kevin-Sunburst oil ranges
from Is TO 81 gravity and contains sui
phur as compared with the Midway pool
oil of 80 gravity, containing no sulphur.
For that reason, we look back on a
winters work with a lot of satisfaction.
We have paid about HALF in Midway
what we paid for the average royalty
which we bought i'm Cut Bank field,
which means that the average member
viii make twice much per dollar in-
vested from each 100 barrels of pro-
ductiOn.
This Is our first public announcement
of our program in the West Kevin-Mid-
way area. Recalling the history Of other
oil fields, we know that the completion
of the Parent, Grant and other wells
will end the days OF great opportunity,
and we are prepared. We are now glad
to see royalty prices advance. 1t will
give opportunity TO those of our MEM
bers who like to "hedge" to dispose of
part of their royalties, at a profit. They
viii be able to sell a part for TWICE
what they paid for their royalties, and
still give the next buyer a reasonably
low price.
II there is any who has not completed
his royalty buying program in this area,
to give him protection" on the north
and south TANKS and on the ''high", we
urge that he get in touch with us i'm

REVEALING OUR BUYING PROGRAM

paid for leases and royalties which might
have been bought during the winter
months for a few Paltry pennies.
So the history OF the West Kelvin pool
was not new to us. We saw the compile
ton of the Pfabe & Engelking discovery
well on the Enneberg farm-miIes from
the nearest prOductiOn-and regretted
that through some psychic suggestion we
had not fortified ourselves with more
low priced royalties in the district AS
it was, we had picked up cheap royal
ties Offsetttn@ the Enneberg well ON
two sides, but this was not enough,
when we learned that the Enneberg was
a FLOWING WE'LL It was making
80 gravity oil, paraffin base, containing
sulphur. UnquestiOnably. it is a better
refinery stock than any other crude
found i'm northern Montana. 1t comes
from a depth 800 to 1000 feet shallow
er than Cut Bank oil wells, offering a
greater profit to the operator through
lessened drilling cost. We were inform
ed (and we have not checked up with the
Owners) that this discovery well was
drilled TO the top of the sand with a
cash outlay of less than two thousand
dollars. Not until after they had oil
did they run airy casing. This reflects
the ideal drilling conditions revealed
by the Enneberg.
To us this meant as much as did the
first Tarrant well at Ont Bank and the
first Fulton well at POndera. We quick
ly checked over logs of various wells
drilled in the district and found that
nearly all of them had SHOWINGS OF
OIL at the top of the lime. One or two
Of them had quantities of oil measurable
in BARRELS PER DAY. In this day of
acidization. the drisIer is content with a
quantity of oil measurable in GALLONS
per day. We found that there was one
well. known as the Rice-Radigan well,
in the south end of the area, had enough
oil so that il FLOWED with the gas
pressure coming from the Sunburst sand.
About midway between that well and the
Enneberg we found a second well that
had a production of from three to seven
barrels per day. The accounts varied,
but we had several eye witnesses who
saw quantities of oil bailed from this
well. The log showed that 1t had Oil
at the Madison contact. That is all we
needed to know. We figured that the
whole area Is quite likely oil land.
But we were not alone in this con-
clusiOn and there was a squirt of royalty
buying and prices quickly went beyond
us. Then we had bit Of good luck.
Oddly enoagh, our good luck was dTT
hole Offsettfng the discovery well on the
north. II was not a dry hole, but IL
could not be made int0a commercial
producer, having developed water. This
failure put "a, danger ON the district for
the rank and fiIe. To Aus Il was merely
"breaK' and we took up our program
of royalty buying. During the winter
months we have bought all the bargain
royalties we could find. We have helped
farmers clean up their mortgages and
back taxes, taking a part of their roy

For some time past our members
have been kept closely advised as to de-
velOpment in the new area called West
Kevin-Midway pool, between the Kelvin
Sunburst and Cut Bank oil fields. We
have followed. through our publications,
the steady progress of leasing operations,
cleaning the opinions of leading opera
tors and buying royalties where we know
that wells are to be drilled.
Now the completion of wells has be-
gun. The pioneer advantages which were
afforded us last winter are rapidly pass
ing. 1t will not take many more wells
to definitely terminate the chances to get
royalties on a wildcat basis. Knowing
this day was coming we have practically
completed our buying, having enough OF
this royalty distributed among our menu
bcrs that we are content that they are
going to make as much on more than
they did in Cut Bank.
The history Of this pool is like that
of every other field. We recall the ear
ly history of Cut Bank field. The COM
pletiOn of the discovery well brought
no great excitement. 1t was making gas
and some oil, but ID was regarded as
freak well''. Even when an oil well (the
b. H. now the Par OILY was COM
pleted, none was convinced that it open
ed a new field, because il was produc-
ing from a 'stray sand". The Old-tfme OPP
orators wanted the field to produce from
the same sand as Kevin-Sunburst. Thee
were hesitant about going in.
So il was that we were afforded an
entire year in which to pick up royal
ties at bargain prices. We paid so little
for some of those royalties that they
have paid 100 per cent per annum or
more from a single well. But when II.
c. Tarrant went in and showed his con-
fidence by drilling a series of producers,
then the whole world wanted to plunge
into Cut Bank and royalty jumped TO
a figure so high that we dropped out OF
royalty buying.
CHANGING back into history a little
farther. we recall how POndera oil field
lay wide open for nearly year after the
completion OF the discovery well. IL. too,
had gas and oil. ALI the big companies
came, looked and walked away. Only one
operator was fully convinced that this
well had opened up a new oil field. That
man is w. NJ. Fulton. He took the writ
high and pointed out the area of the
pool.
''This is going to be a great oil
field, he said. AS we recall, we stood
ON or near the west line OF the GJuliin
farm which was to develop two years
later into one OF the richest oil farms
in Montana. None of us fully realize the
import of FultOns belief. The infoE1na-
ton he gave at that time might have
been worth a million dollars. The neid
stood idle until Fulton moved over
contrary to the advice of many ge0logtsts
north of the discovery well and brought
in his State No. I producer. Then there
was grand rush and high prices were

The "gas oil ratio" is the prime
subject in Turner Valley oil and

lister of lands and mines, seeking
to reduce alleged gas waste. He
proposes conservation of the gas to:
/. A lift for the production Of
crude oil.
g.. For holding back the crude
from migrating into the gas zone,
where it may be lost.
8. For retarding any possible
water flooding of the west flank.

Every county in North Carolina is
gong to have an equal chance to re-
celve its proportionate share of
these dollars the bulletin states, and
those communities having an active
hospitality committee will have much
better chances than those which do
not take part in the State advertising
program.
Among ideas suggested by the bull
letin for consideration by local COM
mittees, suggestions in which the en-
tire community can take part, are:
l. The cleaning up of unsightlv
signs on the highways.
?. Proclamations by municipal and
county authorities and statements to
the press urging citizens to cooperate
with the Governors Hospitality Com
mittee.
3. Encouragement to eating places
to specialize in Southern dishes.
4. Active participation by local hos
pitality committees in the various
flower celebrations and festivals in
the State that draw outside visitors.
8. Active campaigns by chairmen
and committee members in resort
sections designed to welcome out-of-
the-State guests.
In the bulletin, Chairman c. A Hall
of the Alamance county committee,
received special praise and common
dation for the snappy and attractive
placards and other advertising matter
being printed to popularize Alamance
county.
Other chairmen to whom special
praise is given include Bob Phillips
