of the Texaco-State discovery we'll
Competent biologists told us that Cut
Bank oil accumulation was in the sands
of a buried seacoast. When the Texaco
we'll came III we merely laid a ruler
down on the map, across the vast ex-
panse of miles between production
northeast of Cut Bank and the Texaco
well and said:
The sand MUST be present between
these two therefore it is likely oil
land"
The best biologists in the country
nodded assent. We bought royalties on
tracts totaling thousands of acres. for
wildcat prices We we're leading" our
game and it proved correct-and highly
profitable
1t is easy for an investor to sit back
and cry that he lost out on the best
royalties it is now too late to
invest
Yes, it was too late to invest in Cat
Creek in 1928 and thereafter In 1922
ROYALTY owners shared $420,8l6 from
Cat Greek. They received similar sum
in l923-over a million dollars for roy
atty owners in the first three years of
Cat Creek In those two years Kelvin
royalty owners received only $4,000
Everyone sighed for another Cat
Creek
Yet two years later found Kelvin
royalty owners receiving more than
half million dollars during 1925 and
nearly million dollars in l926-again
million dollars for royalty owners
in two short years. Again that did not
spell the end of opportunity.
Ten years later-in 1936-found a
new group of royalty owners, in Cut
Bank field, receiving nearly half mil
lion dollars. The figure for 1885 was
$42O,O52 paid to owners of landowners
ROYALTIES in Cut Bank field. The follow
ing year, 1896, saw the payment of
S5I3,18 to Cut Bank royalty owners
again million dollars in two short
years.
Have opportunities again come to
an end
The answer is SO apparent as to make
it unnecessary to answer. Development
of the new Tribal pool in the south end
of Cut Bank shows that this field has
lar greater plOuuNtiOi iNSOiNo 80
and none can guess the extent OF this
series of pools accumulated IN the sands
of the ancient seacoast.
With a greater established market
than ever before, and with certainty
that more reserves MUST be estab-
lished to justify the refinery invest
ment, it is apparent that many more
million dollar periods" are coming
not to the investors of 20 years ago in
Cat Creek and not to the investors of
IS years ago in Kelvin and not to in
vestors of 10 years ago in Cut Bank,
but to investors of today who will ap-
ply common sense by leading" in their
investments.
We have done considerable buying
in the vicinity of Parents discovery
we'll west of Sunburst, as an example.

One snowbird does not~make winter
and one oil well does not make an oil
field. However, we have gone through
the experience of new pools so many
times that it should be needless to point
out that oil occurs in POOLS and not
in 20-barrel quantities We are never
wrong in concluding that showing of
oil points toward a POOL.
1t required a lot of leading" to in
spire man to buy royalty on the top
of the "lost horizon" northwest of
Kelvin, when the High Gravity com
pany brought in its tiny discovery we'll.
Without acidization that well would
have been promptly abandoned and
even WITH acid it was scarcely com
mercial. Yet it meant to the owners the
presence of POOL from which that
showing came. So they moved out on
to the next contour and drilled a second
well. This we'll was drilled with the
same science as that employed by the
duck hunter who leads" his bird. The
owners could offer no proof that oil
was present in this distant spot before
drilling but by their geological con-
clusions and the showing of oil they
knew that the oil, like the approaching
bird, should be there They brought in
a we'll making IS barrels of high grav-
ity ola most highly profitable pro-
ducer because it is relatively shallow
drilling.
To the investor who is inclined to
lament the fact that he missed out on
the big production of the past we point
out that his holdings AHEAD OF
THE DRILL may put him into par
ticipation in one of these million dollar
years that is coming.
In this day we know from past ex-
perience something of what to expect
when a we'll has certain showings. We
know something of value when we learn
that production has been found in the
Madison lime on Twin River fold, on
the Alberta side of the Cut Bank-Kevin
uplift We know something of value
when we learn the facts regarding the
presence of oil in the Devonian and
other formations below present produc-
ing strata in Montana as some of the
more distant things when we aim our
royalty investments.
4
with common sense, we will have ample
opportunity to make fortunes in the
future Just as fortunes have been made
in the past.
The fortunes of tomorrow are to be
made on today's investments AHEAD
OF THE DRILL.
Still another new opportunity has
arisen in northern Montana where we
are now buying royalties. There are
few who know and fewer still who
realize the facts, thus making a greater
opportunity for those who DO know
how far to lead" in the quest for the
fortunes of tomorrow. These facts will
be known to those who receive our
current publication, going out next
week 1t will be sent to those who re-
quest it.

WAYS LEAD" YOUR BIRD

We Quote from OLD TRADER in
Northwest Mining News:
You have got to shoot where they
ANTI"
Otherwise you will not get any birds.
Most amateur hunters make the mis-
take of aiming and shooting at where
they are
The result. of course, is that when
the shot gets to where they were they
amt there.
The experienced hunter knows that
he must lead his birds in aiming his
gun.
In other words. he shoots where they
amt" in order to hit them where they
are going to be.
This comes to my mind at this time
because the pheasant and grouse season
is on in Washington and Idaho.
incidentally, ] recall from my early
boyhood in Indian Territory which IS
now a part of Oklahoma that the In
dams in shooting ducks and geese with
a bow and arrow aimed about three
feet in front of the heads Of the birds.
One does not have to lead quite as
much with modern shotguns, but just
the same you will miss if YOU don't
shoot where they amt
There is, think. lesson in this
fact which applies very generally in
mans affairs
In long experience | have noticed
that most people who buy securities
aim at where they are and so miss the
big profits.
Those who keep their sights aimed
ahead at where they amt are the
ones that get the good buys
could cite many examples to prove
my point, but a moments thought on
the part of any reader will furnish am
pie proof.
One does not have to be clairvoyant
in order to aim ahead
In most instances all that is required
is a little common sense.
OLD TRADER expressed something
we have had in mind for long time
with regard to the purchase of royalties.
AS the years go by we find that the
really big money we make comes from
buying royalties where the oil amt
1t has required little more than COM
mon sense-not great amount of risk
in these recent years.
The most money our members have
made in Cut Bank field came from pur-
chases made soon after the completion
