Such bargains come from OIL DISBE-
LEVERS.
This week we turned to local group
a farm purchased in fee simple that is
known to be structurally high in an oil
and gas area. They bought it for the
price that we ordinarily expect to pay for
similar land for agricultural purposes.
With the surface of the land they receiv-
ed 81 u per cent of the mineral rights
(the former owner having reserved 21h
ner cent landowners royalty and they
have prospects of selling a lease on the
tract to a competent operator who will
drill or pay rental, depending on devel-
opments in the district
When such opportunities are present
and available, the investor who fails to
take advantage of them is in the same
position as William Howling. A person
who has a few hundred dollars to invest
can do no better than to buy land which
MAY prove to be valuable oil or gas land.
In any event the investment will not be
Lost for the person who is alive can sell
enough royalty to retire his investment
or enough of 1t that he can well afford
to risk the balance during the critical
period of the drilling of a well that will
prove or disprove it for oil in the several
possible producing horizons.
These opportunities are present In
Montana today. They are, of necessity.

in such speculations that the greatest
personal fortunes are made. 1T is neces
sary to go beyond the proven area to get
bargains which make fortunes from a
small investment
Through this organization it is possible
for an investor to buy an "oil farm" and
have his interests well cared for, we

leases, OIL and gas leases and other de-
tails Title rests in the investor or his
trustee with full power to sell leases,
royalties or to sell the entire farm ONT

nool their funds and buy a farm jointly.
their elected trustee is granted whatever
mowers are necessary to carry on the in
vestment. Where a property becomes very
valuable through the drilling of nearby

finance and proceed with the drilling

bilities of this form of investment

vestment of $3.50. But oddly enough,
those of our members who shared this
royalty to start with did not keep 1t.
A check of the record shows very few
kept their royalty over the years. The
reason was that the spectators began
buying this royalty and they paid as high
as 1926 per cent per acre for royalty on
the Howling farm. Where any such Of
fers came to our attention, we advised
our members to sell. 1t is an interest
ing fact that this high price was paid on
a fractional royalty on the 80 acres op-
Grated by the Texas-Pacific. In our
search we discovered that this royalty
has thus far paid out $114 per cent per
acre.
1t is remarkable royalty in this field
that pays over $100 per cent per acre
and to a person who has paid up to S5
Ar Sc per cent per acre 1t is a wonder
ful return. But to the person who is
so unwise as to pay 1925 per cent per
acre. it is hardly a profitable investment.
It is certain, or practically So that this
ROYALTY will pay out the $125 per cent
ner acre. Thereafter will likely come
deep sand production and on that will
come a profit on the investment, but we
think it foolish to take such risks when
there are opportunities to make invest

3 to boost the total yield
Anyone who criticises William Howling
for having refused to gamble" in the oil
industry must face criticism himself IL
he fails to take advantage of opportuni-
ties on the "other side" of the deal. AT
the time the Howling royalty was pur-
chased. it was a long way from produc-
tion. It had to be purchased on blind
faith in the geology of such men as the
late Major G. c. Howard who was one
of the few Reologists who thought there
was oil in the area. Howling chose to
play a "cinch bet' and the buyers Gas
the royalty was divided up afterwards
hv co-purchasers) had to take a long
chance.
1t seems odd that today it is possible
to go into a known oil area, not more
than a mile or two from production and
buy land in FEE SIMPLE. The risk
involved in this type of Investment
where the land and mineral rights can be
had for the price Of farm land alone
is not nearly so great as was the risk
in the purchase Of the Howlng royalty.
