OUR MEMBERS WIN AGAIN

patton. None wanted the west 80 acres
which was so far west that all were
afraid that it would not produce. Finally
we succeeded in putting this royalty i'm
to the hands of some good friends who
were willing to "heIp OUT the small in
vestment involved.
It was on this so acres that none
wanted that the big well was completed
this week.
Among the good friends upon which
we fOisted that tract was one member
who lives near Fort Benton who is one
of the IucEiest individuals in our organ
izatiOn. Some people have the knack
Of stumbling into success. He is that
type Nearly every royalty he buys proves
good: whatever he touches in royalties
seems to turn to gold. We wrote an ar
ticIe about ''IucIz' and referred to this
member, in this COLUMN a year or
so ago. So when we looked up the list
of owners of royalties on the ArOnsOn
we were not surprised to find this man
among them and tracing back we found
that he was one of those who had ac-
cepted the west so acres.
Later the Texas company desired to
unitize the ArOnsOn farms and our MEM
bers accepted royalty covering the en-
tire unit. The most reluctant ones on
this proposal were the owners of the east
so acres because The Texas company
drilled it's first well on this east 80
acres, i'm June of 1885. The well had
a SHOWING OF OIL and was aban-
dOned.
The east end of the tract looked very
bad. Indeed, and there was little hope
for the west end. The following Decem-
ber Santa Rita drilled it's Lander No.
1 well, three quarters of a mile north
of the AronsOn. It was completed on
Christmas day and it had little more oil
than did the Texaco-ArOnsOn, in the
Cut Bank sand. But there had been
showing of oil in the MouItOn sand,
above, and i'm January following, SAM
ia Rita tried to salvage the showing
by shooting with nitro glycerin.
Everyone knows how the great Lam
der No. 1 came into production, follow
ing the shot. flowing at the initial rate
of 1900 barrels per day 1t settled to
around 800 barrels per day and Is after
five years still the greatest oil wen in
the field, having produced more than
81 ESQ, 900 worth of oil.
Even that did not help the ArOnsOn
for again everyone was convinced that
the Lander well was "a ''frealz" and a new
manifestation of the O'Neil luck. SAM
ta Rita moved over n location westward
and drilled a dry hole and failed to get
q gusher I'm the north offset and st
became certain that the Lander pool
was along a narrow trend from north
east TO southwest, missing the ArOnson
farm, as we thought.
The Arons0n had no further devel-
iOpment and up 60 . few months ago
there was no Aronson royalty owner who
would mot have sold, very cheaply 30

had was to get our members to
A2 buy royalty ON the ArOnsOn farm
in the north end of Cut Bank oil field.
It was ON this ArOnsOn farm that
the second largest oil well of the Lam
der pOo-third largest oil well in the
history of the Cut Bank fieId-was
completed during the past week.
The owner of this farm offered TO
sell some of this royalty in the early
summer of the year 1888, i'm order to
raise money to care for pressing Obliga-
tions. This was just following the worst
year of the depression and royalty pric-
es. along with many other prices, were
very low.
The district was a long way from the
main field. The only thing we had to
go on, largely was the Judgment of /.
B. Tip" O'Neil. He had moved four
miles north Of production and bought
his famOur Tribal lease from the Black
feet Indian reservation and in April of
1888 had drilled his first weII-and
found oil.
1t was then that we learned about
the nature of the accumulation of oil
in the Cut Bank sand The Tribal well
gave us a basis for visuaIfzing this area
as it appeared in early Cretaceous times
when a shallow ocean covered the north
ern part of this continent, with Occa-
siOnal islands appearing above the sur
face of the tropical waters One of these
islands was the Sweetgrass Arch island
on the flanks of which were sandy beach
es which thinned out to the upper edge
of high tide and grew thicker away
from the islands as the waters OF the
ocean receded
The then producing wells were lined
up with the Tribal producer and an
other line was drawn from the Tribal
producer to the Border oil field where
this identical sand was producing OIL
We knew the shape of the beach in a
general way That recommended any
thing between these points. So IL was
that we bought the Seeba and other roy
alties which have since proven so high
ly prolific and profitable. The ArOnson
appeared to be a good property on the
same theory
1t required the issuance of several
publications to 'seu'' this idea TO our
members. AT the time we contracted for
the ArOnsOn, many were of the opinion
that O'NeiI's first Tribal well was a
freak" but in the early fall Of the same
year he brought in his second well as
proof that the first was not q ''freak"
We became so enthused about the dis
trict that we redoubIed our efforts to
entice our members to buy not only the
Aronson royalty ON ESQ acres I'm Sec
ton 21 but Also royalty on his fathers
place in the north half OF Section 2S,
Twp. S5N-6W.
We never worked harder on any roy
atty purchase than these two bat fin
ally succeeded In getting them into the
hands OF our members. AZ that time the
group voted to divide the tract, into
smaller units of so and 100 acres, 10
give each one a larger royalty partici-
