BIG PRODUCTION NEEDED

today on the basis of shallow produc-
ton is getting a far greater value in
the oil which may be expected from the
Turner Valley horizon (basal Madison)
and the Moose Mountain (Devonian) for
nations?
If Alberta were part of Montana or
If Montana were part of Alberta, the
whole proof would be contained in the
history of present development. The
great opportunities of the present would
be swiftly wiped out.
Success in the oil industry is based
on capitalizing APPARENT facts and
not on mysterious formulas. When aci-
dization developed GREATER production
in the main part of Kevin-Sunburst field
it became APPARENT that the West
flank. where oil showings had been
found, would produce AS a result the
highly valuable Rimrock pool and the
Rocky Ridge pool were developed.
It was then APPARENT that if wells
which showed oil on the west flank could
be converted into good producers, that
wells in similar undrained territory on
the EAST flank, hold the same promise.
The Imperial-Craig-Gaus No 1 well
which has gone on production recently,
is ample proof that the APPARENT fact
is true.
Is it not likewise APPARENT that
the territory adjoining present produc-
ton on the NORTH flank will be pro-
ductive? Can anyone overlook the fact
that the old National Exploration NAL
colin we'll in Section 20, Twp. 36N, Rg.
wv, was a small producer, without
water back in 1928? That well was
abandoned because acidization was not
known and there has been no drainage
IN any direction for MILES. But can
there be the slightest doubt but that
the Malcolm well, if drilled today, could
not be made into a producer-perhaps
greater than the Rimrock wells or the
Gauss well? 1t is manifestly APPARENT
and someone is going to make a for
tune taking advantage of that apparent
fact. The new u S. G. S. map of this
township and the adjoining township to
the north calls attention to the long
accepted theory that the ACCUMULA-
TION OF OIL is FROM THE NORTH. 1t
follows that the North slope is going
to produce.
1t takes no great amount of reasoning
to know that SOMEWHERE in this vast
Kevin-Sunburst dome, oil will be found
in the known oil stratas below the top
of the Madison lime We do not have
to wait until a discovery we'll is flowing
oil. We capitalize it TODAY, through
investment in leases and royalties and,
occasionally, in the purchase of oil rights
with land in fee simple.
This organization offers a service to
those who would make an investment in
the light of this opportune situation
which is to us apparent.
1t is service essential to success: a
long-established agency. experienced in
the matters of title search, geological
determination and complete record of
history of development. This service
follows the investment to its fruition.
This week we had the pleasure of adj
vising one group of our members of the
completion of a large well on a property
on which this group purchased con-
siderable amount of landowners roy
atty five years ago.
To another group we sent a bulletin
advising the start Of a well on land which
this group of rs investors own in fee
simple.
This is a service that enhances the
value of every royalty. We invite all Mon
tana royalty owners to join us, to receive
our publications and, where desired
formal offering sheets on properties
where royalties can be purchased
The cost of membership is ST.
