We are informed that his farm has
produced 240,OOO,OOO barrels of oil
of an average value of 81 or more
per barrel In that event, the land
owner, share (12I5 barrels out of
each 1907 was worth $3O,OOO0OO. IF
he sold HALF of his royalty, as many
landowners do, then he received
$15,000,00O and INVESTORS receiv-
ed the other $15,OO0,0OO. The daily
potential production on his lands had
reached 1921, $50 barrels. That
meant more than 100000 barrels per
day of potential belonging to the
royalty owners.
Yates passed away at the age of
10 years. leaving behind this tremen-
dous fortune after IL years of life in
which he had more money than he
could spend.
There is only one Yates farm in the
world, of course, and there is little
chance that a person who goes out
and buys grazing land in possible oil
country will happen to get another
Yates farm. Yet what better invest
ment can be had than in lands, where
possibilities of oil are present? It is
possible right now to buy lands in
fee simple in proximity to oil produc-
ton in Montana oil fields. The most
worthless" lands Of today may be
the most valuable Of tomorrow, as oil
fields are extended by new methods
and new discoveries.
During the past week the largest
well in Kevin-Sunburst field was
brought in on land that a few years
ago was considered not worth the
amount of the taxes For ten years
it was considered condemned oil land
and the surface was useless except
for sheep pasture. That is the Dahl
quist farm. Big West Oil company
fixed up title and drilled a we'll
on it that would have been aban-
doned as a dry hole except for the
SCIENCE OF ACIDIZATION. This
new science made it possible for the
operator to turn a well with a mere
showing of oil into great gusher.
1HdJ was the case III the clSutu
well drilled. 1t was "dry hole" at
the usual oil horizon but it was drill
ed on down into the lime where it
had two slight showings of OIL The
drillers continued until they ran into
water. They sealed off the water
and plugged back to the showings
of oil. Then they applied modern
methods: they shot the formation with
nitro glycerin, to break cracks and
seams in the lime. Then they treated
with hydrochloric acid. The acid,
penetrating these cracks and seams,
followed the tiny veins or assures
through which the showing of oil was
creeping and tapped a great pool of
oil, apparently, for the well started
flowing at the rate of more than ONE
THOUSAND BARRELS PER DAY.
The well was quickly shut in and
it was allowed to flow into the tanks
and has since been held at about 500
barrels per day OF PIPELINE OIL,
containing no water. It is one of the
truly great wells of the field probably
comparable with the Ohio-Baker No.
g. the Homestake-Howling No 8, the
Fulton-Byrne No. 8 and other great

wells which have each made million
dollars or more worth of oil 1t is in
new, undrained territory, so there is
no reason why it should not be a
great well.
Several years ago this organization
purchased in fee simple 100 acres of
land in this same section. That was
at a time when acidization had indi-
Gated the presence of a pool in the
district. We divided the royalty a.
mOng ourselves and waited for devel-
opment. The south 80 acres was leas-
ed to an operator and he drilled a
dry hole Again we settled down to
. watchful waiting.
Then came the drilling of the Big
West Dahlquist No. well, about 100
feet west of our tract The result is
now known. Our members own the
landowners share in this instance.
There is every possibility that we may
get a big well on our worthless"
farm-we will have a well drilled i'm
mediately and the contract calls for
four additional wells, without regard
to the outcome of the first one.
This one purchase may put luxury
money, if not a fortune, into the
hands of several Of our royalty own
ers. 1t is not Yates farm, to be sure,
but it is the same principle. Instead
of one man owning the farm, the
ownership of the royalty is divided :.
among several investors, each of whom
put i'll whatever amount he could af-
ford. Each one knew that it was a
riSk-that the investment might be
lost, if the tract failed to produce oil,
but there was also the speculative
possibility that it might be AVER
AGE oil land in which case each one
was insured of a large return on the
investment. 1t will take a produc-
ton of only two or three hundred bar
rels per acre to pay out and there
after each similar amount of produc-
ton will pay ONE HUNDRED PER
CENT PER ANNUM to these FORUM
ate investors. Some will sell part
of their royalty at a profit, during
the drilling of the next well. Others
will ride it through" passing up
the opportunity of a cash profit to
possibly share in a well that will flow
500 barrels per day. Such well
would, of course, pay large re-
turns on the humble investment in
this "dry land farm"
Nor are such great opportunities
at an end. We can today buy in fee
simple farms of equal promise in Cut
Bank field and elsewhere. To us it,
looks like the safest speculation OBJ
tainable in these days of uncertainty
It was probably "poor business" for
Ira Yates to trade going store busi-
ness for a worthless ranch across
the Pecos," in the opinion of people
with less fortitude, but we have had
demonstrated just this week that such
speculation either in Texas or here
in Montana can be highly profitable.

THE YATES FARM AND
THE DAF1LQUIST FARM

THE passing of Ira G.. Yates, the
richest man in Texas, again
brought realization to millions
of people in America that tremendous
fortunes are made in the oil business
other than in the purchase of "oil
stock. " There are few people who.
read the newspapers last week who
have the slightest idea how Yates
made his money. When newspaper
accounts mentioned royalties. :" few
people grasped the meaning Of the
word because the vast majority of
people do not know enough about
the mechanics of the oil industry
to understand how he could make
millions Of dollars other than through
the sale of his land or through invest
ment in oil stocks.
While there are hundreds of thous-
ands who know more about oil row
alties today than did II years ago
when we were just getting started in
royalties, it is a relative few who
have any idea that it is possible for
an investor to make any money in
royalties.
While we know little about Ira G.
Yates except that he owned much of
the land in the producing area of the
great Yates pool in Texas, it is safe
to say that when we went into the
royalty business we might have
bought half and perhaps all of his
royalty cheaply. He was a horse
trader in the early days and in 1907,
in the money panic, he event broke. .
At the age of 48 years he was ap-
parently a failure, but he had the
determination to keep on trying.
He got hold of a little store and
built up a business to a point where
he was able to trade the store for
a ranch. He perhaps got a little
the worst of the deal for his friends
thought the ranch was worthless.
He probably had no idea of mineral
content but quite possibly, being a
trader, he had that in mind. 1t was
several years before he had opportun-
ity to lease to a responsible drilling
company. At that time he gave a
lease emitting the operators to drill
for oil and providing that in payment
for this right the operator agreed to
deliver to Yates one-eighth of all the
oil and gas produced and saved, free
of cost of production
Nineteen years after Yates event
broke" the wildcat well drilled on his
worthless" farm struck oil 1t was
on October 90, 1926-Yates' 9Th
birthday It was a flowing well
Yates was erich over night" but it
required time for the development to
get under way More wells had to
be drilled, pipelines built and a mar
ket secured for the oil. We recall
those days, from talking with big
company representatives who visited
Montana at that time We saw cir
culars offering Yates royalties for
sale. How much they cost or whether
they covered the producing areas, we
do not know. We were not interested
in Texas royalties, so paid no atten-
ton to them but we have an idea
that Yates, the trader, "hedged" on

It lies only $50 miles in direct
line from Spokane and is 900
miles nearer than the next greatest
Hmportant source of crude oil;
thus the new refinery provides an
outlet for one of the Northwest S
richest resources right here at
home.
WinkIer-KOch Plant.
This latest type thermal crack
ing plant was constructed by the
Winkler-Koch Engineering Com
pany of Spokane, Wash, ana
wichita, Kansas, one of the ma
tion's leading refinery construc-
ton firms. In design and construc-
ton it represents the finest en-
cheering skill in the country.
Brand Names
Gasoline and other products of
the new plant are sold through
local distributors throughout the
Inland Empire. A substantial
portion of the output is sold un-
der distributors private brands.
while the remainder is marketed
under the "house brand" names
of Inland Empire Refineries, Inc.
Arrangements are being COM
pleted with a number of indie
pendent distributors throughout
the territory who have expressed
a desire to handle our products,

Kerosene, fuel oil, tractor oil and
asphalt will also be produced to
meet the demands of this territory |
Crude Capacity
For a 24-hour period, the Hill
yard refinery is capable of pro-
cessing 10 tank cars of crude oil |
per day, or $4,000 to $4,000 gal

The Jamaica Pals, white, jumped
ahead of the Roxbury Ramblers to
register 60 score at Healy's Play

failed to score. The score at the half
was 90. Coach Howard Robinson took
Vic Kerr and Johnny Thompson out
of the game in the End quarter. The
Pals scored in the last quarter with 8
minutes to go. The Ramblers fun
bled kick on the 15-yard line, and
"Moby" Reddick was penalized 10
yards for running off side, putting the
Pals on their 5-yard line, scoring their
second down. The Ramblers made a
futile last effort to score in the final
period, when Buster" Woods, T. half
back, threw Badly" Martin a pass on
the 50-yard line, and "Baldy" made a
2O-yard gain before the game ter
