he takes a partner or partners-people
who did not have to slave under prairie
sun and freeze in bowling billiards. in
order TO come into this heritage.
He may have held onto this land dur
ing a time when he could have made
more money working I'm factory, but
instead held on in blind faith that it
would some day take care of him, and it
may have seemed like a long wait, even
before the possibility of oil was suggest
cd. The waiting is hard.
And that is one hardship that the-in-
weston cannot escape, IL he is to profit
largely. Like the hOmesteader, he must
watt.
The investor who buys a farm on n
known structure potential oil and gas
reserVOir-must have more PATIENCE
than money Nothing less than drilling
n well himself will hasten the day when
he will become, like the farmer in the
picture. ''rich over night" So he must
sit and wait until in the course of human
events driIIer starts making hole on
his land.
Twelve million dollars have been paid
to the owners of oil field royalties i'm
Montana during the time we have been
I'm business-about half Of IL during the
last eight years Twelve million dol
lars is more than the amount of divi-
dends paid by all the ODerating cOmDan-
les during that time. We know Of no
group of investors in Montana enter
prises who have received any comparable
sum in dividends In the same period.
The personal FORTUNES that have heen
made from that gum have been paid to
those whose investment was on the low
est basis.
IN other words the man who bought
AHEAD OF THE DRILL. investing a
fraction of the amount paid by the less
fOresighted, has received the largest ratio
of return on his investment.
The impatient investor wants PRODUC-
ING royalty that will pay him immediate
returns. He knows about the people who
have made fortunes from royalties but
he does not want to take any risk nor
does he want to wait The result is
that he buys royalty I'm nine cases out of
ten. that will pay him no more than 200
or 800 per cent on his investment He
cannot make fortune at that rate.
It takes more than money TO make
fortune.
The oil industry offers the largest odds
to investor, and particularly land
owners royalties There is no bond or
stock in the world today that is as safe
as the investment OF money in land To-
Gated on known oil and gas structure.
But such an investment must be made
on basis of the possible oil content of
the oil formations.
We recently handled a royalty ON 8
32O-acre tract on which there was a
IO-barrel well. 1t was listed as a PRO
DUCTNG ROYALTY. An eastern investor
remarked: ''Why, it will not pay out in
fifteen years.
He was correct i'm that statement. but
the royalty was worth more than we
paid for it, even If there was NO pro-
duction on 1t.
The value OF the farmers oil rights is
not In the RATE of return but IN THE
CONTENT OF THE OIL SANDS.
The average developed acre in Kelvin
Sunburst field has yielded around $4,000
worth of OIL. Many acres have produced
less-dOwn to a few barrels-and many

rhe accompanying picture from a
group of scenes in new oil discovery
is offered as a puzzle. The problem is;
FIND THE ONE WHO WAS MADE
RICH OVER NIGHT.
1t is not a member of the crew, who
gets paid only a regular wage. In success
or in failure of the wells he drills. 1t Is
not the owner of the well, because his
troubles are just starting: the cost of
equipping his well, the cost of pipelines
and storage and the necessity of drilling
many wells to validate his several leases,
not to mention market problems all rest
on the nape of his neck at this moment.
1t might be his stockholders who cOuld
sell their shares, but they do not appear
in the picture.
1t is apparent that It is the fellow with
the dog. He is the landowner. He does
not own the well; hasn't a share of
stock in it. He merely has contract
(calIed lease) with the owner of the
well whereby he is to receive 12H bar
reIs out of every 100 barrels produced,
free of cost of production.
He is the man who will be able to
make the showing of SUDDEN WEALTH
for he can instantly turn part OF his
share of the oil (calIed royalty into
cash to buy a car, home or a trip to
the South Sea islands. His financial
troubles are over.
1t is simple formula to attain wealth:
Own a farm on an oil structure.
Lease it to competent operator VINO
will bring in production.
Retain the right to receive One-eighth
of all the oil and gas produced, free of
cost of production.
Endorse the monthly check with
clear, legible hand
Forget business worries
That sounds easy to all save the gentle
man with the dog shown i'm this picture
He knows that there are millions who
would trade places with him NOW but
year ago or 10 years ago or 20 years
ago-nOt possibly The average person
will not make the sacrifices that 1t took
to make his fortune.
There are few who would have lived
three years In a homestead shack. during
the period of proving up. There are
few others who would continue to live
OH the place, fighting drOuth, grass
hOpperS and rust, to keep the land as
home Most people who filed on home
steads i'm Montana borrowed all they
could ON them and then moved out, leav-
ing the land to mortgage companies.
Many now know that they walked away
brought.
The fellow who "stuck it ont made
far greater sacrifices, to get his fortune,
than the average American OF this day
could stand.
There are enough exceptions to prove
the rule that fortunes arc made only
through SACRIFICE AND WAITING.
1t is seldom that when an oil strike
comes that the landowner has retained
all of his royalty. When a well starts
on his land, it is a chance for him to
hedge" a little In other words, he can
sell part of his royalty for cash. IL the
well is dry, he will have that cash: like
mamma from heaven. III the well strikes
oil, ne viii have enough anyway. So it
is good business for the farmer to sell
part of his mineral rights He may sell
one percent, two percent or even half
of his rights, (6Ae6): and by so doing
