THE LESSON OF THE DAHLQUIST

a few feet of being failure. 1t was an
excellent producer but had it been spot
ted one location south or one location
northwest it would not have ushered in
the new oil field.
We were told only recently about the
spotting of the famous Radigan-Hunger-
ford gusher in the Harte-Adams pool
The trucks which hauled in derrick
material became mired down short
distance from the location flag The
trucking contractor went to the location
pulled up the flag and carried 1t back
to the trucks and laughed as he drove
It into the ground: There's no oil IN
that location, anyway Unload right
here"
None excepting the surveyor was the
wiser: the well was drilled and it came
in great gusher. WELLS ON EVERY
SIDE WE'RE DRY HOLES OR PRAC-
TICALLY DRY HOLES. 1t is now
known that this oil comes up through
cracks or assures in the massive lime
stone; that the Radigan-Hungerford well
happened to strike one of these cracks.
The great Ohio-Baker No. 3 likewise hit
one of these cracks and produced mil
lion dollars worth of oil. The same
crack was located apparently by the
Homestake-Howling No. 8 nearby, for 1t
was also a great producer Large wells
in the vicinity of dry holes has been al
most a rule in Kelvin field
Nor is that true in this field alone.
There are scores of stories of similar
circumstances in other fields. Many
big oil we'll has been drilled in the
wrong" location and the original loca-
ton, subsequently drilled, has been
ctr q
known to be true to convince us OF the
tremendous possibilities that await those
who systematically drill out the unde-
veloped areas of Kevin-Sunburst field.
We are convinced that there will not
he one but many wells of the calibre of
the Dahlquist No 8. We are convinced
that this oil is coming FROM BELOW
up through cracks and assures in the
lime There is no way now known to
locate these cracks, and future discover
les will be largely the result of chance.
However, that chance is present in every
we'll drilled in this remarkable field.
The person who has bought royalties Tor
the prices we pay is not dependent upon
flowing wells for his profit. His profit
is predicated on the production of few
hundred barrels from each acre. When
big wells like the Dahlquist No. come
learned. it serves to put all of our roy
alties 'in velvet"
We are now working on the purchase
of a farm in fee simple. We are getting
95 per cent of the oil rights together
with the mineral rights. We will sell
the land to a farmer an operator will
get the lease and we will have some
cheap royalty to divide up among some
16 persons who will participate in the
purchase. This is the same method
whereby we acquired the Davidson farm
which offsets the Dahlquist farm on the
east. We had to wait for some time
after we bought that farm but the pros
pect of a well a half or fourth as good
as the Dahlquist now makes it well worth
while.
ANY who is interested in joining us
in this purchase of a farm in fee simple
is invited to send the attached coupon.
