money" which our members have in
vested in landowners royalties.
The rule of success In royalties
chant" Success does not go TO
the man who Jumps once"
There are plenty of exceptions
to prove the rule, but success
goes most frequently to the man
who ''keeps jumping"
Greatest profits come from great
est risks. Greatest risks in the oil
business are in so-called wildcat
wells. A wildcat well is one in new
territory where the presence of oil
is not established by a producer
within two miles. The farther away
from known production, the greater
the risk.
We have learned after mere than
20 years of royalty buying that the
many who would make a fortune OF
the start of a fortune in wildcat
royalties must follow definite rule,
made up of two parts:
1. He must buy royalty on
not just one but FIVE wildcats.
2. He must pay for the FIVE
royalties a total sum small
enough so that commercial pro-
duction on any ONE Of the five
will pay him a profit on the
TOTAL INVESTMENT.
The man who buys Just ONE wild
eat royalty has the odds against him.
Here in Montana It is four to one
against him. On five wildcats To-
Gated on structure in known pet
roliferous areas it is safe to gamble
that one will produce. If two of
five produce, the element of "goOd
luck" begins to spell a fortune to
the person who has a substantial
holding in each one. In our 81
years we have seen few operators
drill five successive wildcats We
can recall one notable case:
Ralph Arnold, world-famous petro.
leum geologist, assigned E. Byers
Emrick, Montana geologist, to map
five Montana structures and agreed
to have them drilled. These are the
five that Emrick selected:
~ Pondera, (2) Bannantyne, (3)
Conrad Butte, a. Midway and (5)
POrcupine.
Of the five % Pondera became a
highly profitable oil field; (2) Ban.
natyne was an oil field, but it wal
not profitable in the stray sand pro
duction and Bannatyne win be re
drilled to lower horizons, so none
can charge off Bannatyne; (3) Con
rad Butte was drilled and il had 9
show of oil. Now it is being re
drilled in the hope that aeidizatior
may spell the difference between
failure and success; a. Midway haI
been re-drilled and there is indica
ton of Sunburst sand oil; 90 Por
cupine developed hot water and I'm
der the old Montana superstition
that water curses all lower horizons
it is pretty well charged off.
Here is an example of five wells il
state five-well campaign. The Pom
dera success has been great enough
to pay out, many times over, the in
vestment in wildcat royalty on tn
other four.
This reminds us Of an inter
esting fact: Those Of us who
bought wildcat royalties on each
Of these five fields charged off
four Of them, for income tax
purposes, but we still have the
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1943-07-03
For Those Who Jump Often

royalties Now comes re-devel-
opment Of three more fields. Be
cause our royalties had good
title when we bought them, they
are still good. If and when pro
ductton comes we win be there
for unexpected and extra prof
its. There Is little doubt in our
minds but that three Of the re-
manning four viii produce.)
However, that is not the expec-
tation of an intelligent investor in
wildcat royalties. He must figure
that if he buys ONE wildcat royalty
he viii probably lose. If he buys
FIVE wildcat royalties, he has a
chance of winning on one and he
must fix his total investment at a
place where the average production
of field such as Pondera-note the
word AVERAGE-will pay out the
total investment.
There is the possibility, of course,
that a person might buy a royalty
on a wildcat structure that is pro
duetive, yet his particular property
may not produce. His chances Of
rather remote. However, we might
point out that none should spend
too much for wellsite royalty. The
poorest royalty we bought in Pom
dera was on the discovery wellsite;
the same is true of the Cat Creek
discovery wellsite; likewise the Cut
Bank discovery wellsite and the
Kelvin discovery wellsite.
In that regard we bring to mind
our current publication for members
in which we relate how we moved
out in advance Of the drill and
bought wellsite royalty on one of the
most important tests of the year
only to have storm and sea Of
mud result in the removal of the
wellsite from our land to higher
ground a few yards away. In the
light of the discovery wells on every
other Montana oil field, perhaps we
were fortunate. That may be "sour
grapes but we offset the wellsite
with properties on which we secured
royalties. If the well finds oil in
commercial quantities it will prove
our ground as certainly as it proves
the discovery 40-acre tract. The
tracts are wide enough so that if
there is any oil, we will share in it.
The hardest part of royalty invest
ments is the WAITING. It takes a
lot of stamina for an investor to
buy royalty on a known structure
and sit patiently for years, waiting
for some operator TO drill. Our idea
of heaven has been place where we
could buy wildcat royalties and get
the "answer" within 80 days. It ap-
pears that we have arrived in that
1heavenv for it is coming TO pass,
with the arrival of rotary drilling
methods. For the first time we are
experiencing the thrill of a horse
race in the quick action of our roy
atty investments. Thus far we have
been able to get gamble on each
and every well at cost so low that
we can well afford TO lose if it is a
dry hole, yet feel assured of high
profits in the event commercial pro
duction is found.
If there is any who wishes to re.
eeive our current publications and
opportunity to select available prop
critics from our offering shouts, We
will send them without obligation t.
enquirers.

We swiped this one from the
Badger column:
A young man of burning ambition
approached a great merchant and
begged him to reveal the secret of
his success.
"There is no easy secret" said the
g.m. "YOu must jump at your oppOr-
tunity."
'But, sir, how can I know when
my opportunity comes9"
"YOu can't" declared the great
merchant. you've just got to keep
jumping"
The man who would make a for
tune through investment has fewer
opportunities now than ever before
in American history. The day of
private initiative and the oppOrtun-
ity to share a joint venture is rap
idly becoming a thing of the past.
Accordingly, the opportunity to
keep jumping" is passing as surely
as the New Order is taking over the
American way of life.
There remains for the present the
opportunity to investors to buy a
share of the farmers oil. The land
owner owns all the minerals under
his land, just as he owns the plant
foods in the soil which viii yield an
agricultural crop. In the case of
minerals, such as oil and gas. the
cost and hazard Of finding and pro-
ducing oil and gas is the work of a
specialist. So the landowner leases
his land TO prOspector who is will
ing to take the risk of drilling and
marketing. The landowner, realizing
the risk, agrees to gamble along with
the prOspector:
The landowner agrees to al

V1dtng the prospector will, In the
event of commercial production.
give the landowner 1919 barrels
Of oil out Of very 100 barrels
produced.
The average landowner cannot
afford to gamble "whOle hog or
none.p he can't afford to risk a
dry hole. So he is inclined to sell
part of his share of the oil. The
landowner has a right to sell all or
any part of his right to receive
1914 percent of the oil. If he sells
l percent, the buyer viii receive one
barrel out of every 100 produced,
while the landowner will receive the
other liz barrels. If the land.
owner sells ga percent, he viii re.
tain the right to receive 6A barrels
out of every 100 produced. The in
weston win receive the other 61k
barrels out of each 100 produced.
That is where this organization
comes in. We have paid off more
farm mortgages, paid up more delin
quent taxes and bought more city
homes for owners of potential oil
lands than perhaps any other insti
tuition in Montana. We have bought
royalties on many farms that have mo-
yet produced. We have bought royal
ties on many more that have pro
duced. In every case we have per
formed service for the landowner
getting him ready cash at a tim,
when he needed ESPECIALLY il
cases where we have helped hin
clear up titles. At the same time
the amount Montana royalty owner
have received from oil runs hal
