THE TIME HAS COME

~ UR publication "GEOPHYSICS
PLUS FAULTING" went into
the mail this week and those
from whom we have heard were very
much interested in its text 1t is very
heart-warming to us to receive such
kind notes Of thanks-if not praise
for our efforts We sleep well at night
in the knowledge that we have given
our members the very best our ia
cilities afford And that is coupled
with the further belief that no other
group of Montana investors has ever
had more clear concise information
ON which to base their investments
than is afforded by the publications
of this organization.
Let me express my apprecia-
ton of the value of the infor-
nation provided in your bulle-
tins and general publications,
writes one member. II wonder
how many people do appreciate
the advantage they obtain by
membership in LORCO."
We appreciate in turn that our mem
bers represent the intellgencia, as
only those of education, with ability
to read can capitalize our publica-
tons This new publication discus
SEES major faults, reviewing the his
tory of the development of major
faults in the Midcontinent and Tex
as.
This information has application in
Montana in two or three places only,
for thus far no important faulting
has been located in known petrol
ferrous areas. We are going to have
developments which have an i'm
portant bearing on the subject. Wells
are now drilling beside two import
ant fault areas, in northern Montana.
On Signal Butte structure Hill
cont, a well is drilling on the high"
side of a major fault
On Pendroy structure, Pondera
county, well is drilling on the
low" side of a major fault.
To most people these two wells
are wildcats" and nothing more.

velopments through our publications
these wells have great, money-making
Importance.
In like manner, the discovery of
oil on the Twin Buttes Nose, north
west Of Cut Bank oil field, at the
Reagan well, means nothing to most
people It means nothing because the
well is in the midst of 10000 acres
of Blackfeet Indian tribal lands, with
no leases, no royalties, no shares or
stock or any other means of profit
ing by the discovery. Not so with
members of this organization, who
have a good grasp of the signifi-
canoe of this discovery. They will
capitalize this information, we hope,
in terms of thousands Of dollars Of
profit.
The day of blind investment is
past, especially as regards Montana
oil royalties
When our members buy royal
ty today their attitude is not that of
a man putting a coin in slot ma
chine. Those days are gone The
modern investor chooses a particu-
lar royalty property because of a
general knowledge of the geology,
the history of development of the
structure and the tract, and knows,
in a general way, what return on his
investment is possible He knows de-
finitely how much oil the tract will
have to produce to pay 100 percent
or 1000 percent profit and in no
ease will he buy a royalty where
the probable average yield will not
pay him a fair profit. Those are
things that most people do not un-
derstand and SHOULD understand.
Recently it came to our attention
that an investor, anxious to parti-
cipate in a wildcat field, paid $500
for fraction one per cent of over
riding royalty scattered over two or
three tracts. His investment is perhaps
a good one. However, we know that he
thinks that he bought landowners
royalty. He doesn't know the diff
ference between overriding and
landowner s royalty. He knows moth
ing about the geology of the struc-
ture and doesn't know whether his
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1941-05-03

properties are on contours likely of
production. Lastly, he does not know
that he could have bought PRODUC-
ING royalty in either Kelvin or Cut
Bank field for the per-acre price
he paid In other words, he paid
about four times as much as he
should have paid for wildcat roy
atty.
There is one way and only one
way to make money in any line of
investment and that is through IN
TELLIGENT investment And there
was never a time in the history of
Montana when there were as great
opportunities as are now afforded to
intelligent investors.
Things of tremendous Importance
are Transporting In the midst of times
of limited opportunity come great for
tunes to those who can understand
and capitalize these developments.
The Reagan well on the Twin Riv-
er Nose has significance that can be
capitalized, likewise the Parent well
on the Border Nose.
The Signal Butte well has signi-
ficance that can be capitalized
The deep test on Mosby dome in
Cat Creek has significance that can
be capitalized.
The deep test on Little Beaver
dome south of Baker has signifi-
canoe that can be capitalized.
Our members can and will capitalize
the information afforded.
IF there is any who has been watch
ing this Montana situation, holding
back until the fright time" comes,
we urge such person to move at this
time.
We believe that the greatest OPP
portunities of all time are at hand
But they must be capitalized, if
great profits are to be had, by in
vestment ahead of the drill.
Offering sheets of available roy
ally properties are sent only to those
who request them.

Sweet Potuto
Growers Warned

STATE COLLEGE, May 81. AL
sweet potato growers who expect to
sell, exchange or give seed away
sweet potatoes or plants next season
are reminded that their application
for these inspections must be sent
to the State Plant Board at State
College before June Is, accompanied
by an advance deposit of fifty cents
for the purchase of potato tags and
certificate tape.
In making application for the in
spections, the growers are request
ed to give the exact location of their
farms and the acreage in potatoes to
be inspected.
Inspection requests which are re.
ceived after June 10 will be turned
down as it is necessary that the
Plant Board inspectors start on these
inspections by the middle of June
SO they will be completed before
frost. Two or more field inspec-
tons are required with an interval
of a month or more between them.

tiers emphasized in an announce
ment today that a substantial per-
centage of regigtrants rejected for
general military service on physical
ground has remediable defects which
If corrected, would permit training
of these men in the armed forces.
Particular stress was laid on the fact
that registrants classified in I-B
should consult their personal physi-
clans, dentists or other competent
practitioners and have re..!ediG5le
defects corrected.
In this connection a comparison is
presented by Major Lawrancc W.
Long, Medical Division Chief, be-
tween defects found by Local Eoard
physicians over the nation and Lo-
cal Board physicians of Mississippi.
In a nationwide check up largest
percentages Of defects are shown as
