PROBABILITY OF DEEPER PRO
DUCING HORIZONS.

PROBABILITY OF DEEPER PRO
DUCING HORIZONS.
The history of other states is that
greater production will be found in hor-
lions below the top of the big lime"
than from production above the big
lime which is called Madison lime in
Montana. 1t stands to reason that Mon
tana, because of geographical bound
aries between Alberta on the north and
Wyoming on the south, will be out
standing in history as a geological freak
because of the absence of oil in lower
horizons. We believe that the Devonian
is the most petroliferous horizon in the
North Rocky Mountain region We do
not have to go into northern Alberta
where the oil-soaked Devonian appears
on the surface, to prove this belief
So when we advise anyone to sell a
royalty we put tongue in a cheek and
say "Devonian," because the new buyer
may POSSIBLY get ten times as much
from lower horizons as the original
owner received from the upper hor-
lions. The deeper the drillers go, the
greater the rock pressure. That is nat
ural. BY the same token, the greatest
wells are frequently found in the deeper
horizons-attest Oklahoma City and
other great fields which if present in
Montana would today be merely sheep
pasture" because the formations from
which Oklahoma City wells produce
are far below the producing horizons
reached by Montana drillers.
Accordingly, the rules of sale laid
down are all based on the after
thought: IF you want to forego the
Devonian and other deep drilling pos
sibilities
We have autographed up a number
of copies of the reports and they form
a most interesting cross-section of roy
alties owned by members of this or
ganization. Our comments and advice
on them may or may not be valuable
1t is largely one mans opinion and we
are frequently wrong However, the sta
tistical data, showing earnings of va
rious properties, is from the official
records of the Board of Equalization
of the State of Montana and is therefore
as accurate as can be found.
To anyone who is curious what hap
pens to an investment of 500 in the
average royalty which has been pur-
chased over the years, this list gives a
very interesting study. In the report are,
OF necessity, the worst properties as
well as the good ones. 1t does not cover
third of the royalty properties we have
purchased, since the list is confined to
the frequently duplicated inquiries, but
1t DOES give nice cross-section of Mr.
Average Mans royalty investments. The
heavy mortality of wildcats, shown by
this report, should mean something to
one. person. The relative yield of lime
fields as compared with sand fields may
mean something to someone else The
relative investment of the royalty buyer
to that of the operator who drills and
pays for the wells, appears as an in
teresting study.
All in all, we believe this sufficiently
interesting that we will be glad to send
copies to anyone who wishes to study
these property reports.
We would like to have the comments
of any who receive a copy Otherwise
there are no strings attached.

Free Publication on Montana Oil ROYALTIES

the checks come in irregularly from
various buyers of oil, and a great many
people spend the money as it comes in
and have no idea what amount they
have received. Some of the people we
felt we're unfortunate in their royalty
investments were found to have had
nice returns.
We were particularly pleased with
the record of our Cut Bank royalties
We found that a majority of the royal
ties which we purchased in the early
days of the field and which subsequent
ly developed production have all paid
out plus a profit, save in one or two
instances we now recall on large acre
age. In one such instance we noted that
six wells on big property had paid out
$4.l9 percent per acre against an invest
ment of SIS percent per acre. A farm of
this size will, of course, pay large re-
turns in the future because of the large
number of wells that will be drilled
over a long period of years.
In numerous instances we found that
our members had received as much as
400 to 500 percent return on their in
vestment with only ONE we'll drilled
on tracts of from 80 to 800 acres.
WHEN TO SELL
The chief problem of royalty owners
is to know WHEN TO SELL. Many
people have no idea when to take a
profit or what to expect as a profit
when they have opportunity to sell. We
have known royalty owners to refuse
a price that we knew represented the
probable future yield of their royalty
They liked their investment too we'll
to give it up, even knowing that they
were Offered three or four years earn
ings in lump sum.
In this report we gave, in many in
stances, minimum prices at which we
believed it good business to SELL We
think that a person who has his money
back plus liberal profit from his roy
alties can do no better than to let some
one else gamble on the longevity of pro-
duction. If tract is all drilled out, es-
pecially, there is no reason why a per-
son should not SELL provided he knows
two things.
L. How much the tract has already
produced per acre.
3 How much it is likely to produce
per acre in the future.
AS an example, if developed tract of
land has produced 5000 Dbl. per acre
and history of development of the re-
gion indicates that it will produce a
total of 5000 Dbl. per acre, it is very
good business to sell on the basis of
what an additional 1000 or or 800
Dbl. would bring. That gives the other
buyer a slim margin of profit, no Mat
ter how certain.
We pointed this out to some of the
owners of Byrne royalty who refused
to sell at the peak. After a property is
too far down on the decline, it is diff
cult to sell it on basis such as out
lined above.
In this report we gave estimates to
those who asked for them, and these
replies are included on the sheath of
mimeographed replies.
There is a ''fly in the ointment" in
the sale of Montana royalties which we
pointed out to everyone. That is THE

Did you ever start out to write 1923
letters?
Well, we did
Some time ago we wrote out to
number of our older members and Of
fered to bring their royalty records up
to date by giving them brief report
on each of their royalty properties. This
was intended as letter to end letters"
We have some 1000 members on
our lists who have been buying over a
period of 10 years and our daily mail is
heavy, as many fail to keep up their
records and so lose track of their prop
critics We are anxious to have everyone
keep good books on his royalty earn
ings and to keep in touch with non-pro-
ducing royalties, so we are glad to keep
up this correspondence but it is a grow
ing task.
We sent out a general invitation, as
stated, and as a result we were called
upon to write ,428 reports on royalty
properties dozens of them duplicating
We undertook this as a spare time"
project and worked on it during lunch
hours and evenings but the "haystack"
of letters did not seem to diminish. We
slowly evolved paragraphs descriptive
OF certain properties which could be
duplicated in each letter but then it was
a tremendous task for the clerical help
to type all of them.
1t looked like an endless Job, so we
decided to Monograph these para
graphs most frequently used and make
up letter composed of these para
graphs, clipped from the mimeographed
sheets, then filling in with personal re-
plies the properties not so covered
That speeded our work and we dug
deeper into the great pile of inquiries
and after spending hours digging into
production records, into costs and other
data we suddenly found that we had
practically all of the questions an
swered in our accumulated Monograph
sheets
With the statistical data at hand, we
found the great task much more pleas
ant We found many interesting things,
learning a lot about properties in which
we in the office retained no interest.
1t was a moment of pleasure, as an
example, when we came upon the list
of royalties owned by one member
whom we knew to have had lot of
hard luck He has been on relief, and
we were glad to find that he has one
royalty that is paying him $40 per
month That single property is worth
more than his total investment in roy
alties-an investment made years ago
by saving out few dollars from a
monthly pay check. We knew this man
quite intimately through our CORE
spondence We knew something of his
work, of his family and of his troubles
He had dropped out of the buyers list.
because he had no funds to invest Now
we find that his royalties may be the
factor that will put him back on his
feet. He has other properties, proven
for OIL that will be coming into produc-
ton to increase the $40 per month in
come he now enjoys.
We delved into the total income of
some of those who asked for reports. 1t
is peculiar thing that many investors
have no idea how much they have re-
ceived from their investments because.

More Daylight Hours

Some weeks back we expressed the opinion that it wouldn't be surprising to find officials at Washington urging or demanding an extension of the daylight saving period which normally ends> on the last Sunday in September. We were conservative, though, in saying that probably it might only be extended through October and November. How ever, we did point out that it was year. round affair in both England and Ger } many now and that both of them had clock time two hours behind sun time. In other words they pushed the clocks ahead another hour there to give war time industries more daylight working schedules.
 President Franklin D. Roosevelt appar- ently is about to declare some such emer- gency as this for the United States. He has prepared Congress for it and naturally the rest of the nation is also aware of what impendS. It won't be accepted too eagerly in many sections of the country, but then it won't have to apply to all of the United States There are many sec- tions that probably won't even be affected by the change. But there are others, and we rather imagine Waterbury will be one of them, where daylight saving may be extended and may consist of two hours saved not one.
 A tremendous saving in electrical energy that can be used to make machines go rather than to furnish elec- trical current for lighting purposes is anticipated. There should not be an appreciable loss of revenue for public utilities, because consumption will prob ably vary very little from normal no mat ter how long the daylight saving period is continued. And if the results are what they are supposed to be then all of us will be participating in one more endeavor that knits the American race more firmly together.

A Thought for Today
More or Less Technical

Any criticism of Waterbury's alun1- mum collection drive, such as has been rumored, must be more or less technical. Certainly this city has not spared any efforts to do it's bit in this respect During the past week there has been very intensive drive to secure from every householder in the city all unused pieces of aluminium. So far as local off cials know the response has been a good one. We have little or no way of check ing up on what a community the size of Waterbury should do for outside of a few experimental collections this is the first one in all the -4ation.
 When Waterbury's contribution is weighed up and shipped to concentra- tion center in the state, we'll know just how many pounds of aluminium we have been able to get together. And when other communities of this state and else where have done the same, then compari- sons can be made. Other than this we don't see how anybody could conceivably direct any criticism our way As mat ter of fact there should be no criticism of any community no matter how it pro- eeedS with such a drive.

Black Beauty Vindicated

Probably none of them had read "Black Beauty That's story widely read during the horse-and- buggy era in which Anna Sewell taugh kindness to animals, particularly horses Motorists passing along the New Jersey road just outside New York have lived their lives, mostly, on rubber tires But the same instincts that animated their fathers and grand fathers are still in them.
 When passing motorists came on a horse, prostrate in the shafts of a buggy in the middle of the highway, and found that it had been mercilesSly driven all day without food or water along the brll- tai concrete highway, they furiously pummeled the heartless drivers. Untrained hands fumbled at unaccustomed straps of the harness, lifted the exhausted mare to her shaking legs State police had to rescue the drivers.
 It's good to see that a generation or two of driving motor vehicles has not dulled mems minds completely to the sight of brute misery.

childhood impress comes to the surface and responds. The grown man or wo- man welcomes a situation in which he is told what to do, told what to think, re- lieved of responsibilities and of guilt for cruel desires or acts.
 Thus there is certain amount of ap- peal in dictatorship for all of us. But it does not dominate Most Americans are grown up. They are men and women. They welcome the chance to stand on their own legs, think their own thoughts, bear responsibility. Freedom is condi- tion which only mature, strong, indepen- dent men and women can maintain. To relapse, by turning over affairs to dic- tator, into condition of adult childhood is horror to most Americans. The child has no doubts. Even the mental doubts and turmoil we are going through are 8 mark of maturity.
 Every lover of freedom today should set as his slogan the iron words Paul wrote to the Corinthians: Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
