vince anyone Of the existence of
pool. That evidence was doubled
with the completion of the DeStef-
fanny producer.
Since the completion of the Rispin
well we have dropped out of buying
in Midway. It is foolish to pay too
much for royalties. The thing to do
is to wait for a "break." The best
thing that can happen, from the
viewpoint of the royalty investor, is
the completion of one or more DRY
HOLES. They are coming, as GER
tainly as drilling continues. The
wells to capitalize are the FAIL
URES not the GUSHERS.
Elements of success in the oil in
dustry are "a oil-sense, (2) common
sense and now we discover (3) the
sense of smell. Gordon Campbell, dis
eoverer of oil in Montana, was an
example of men who have a those
for OIL" Common sense teaches us to
recognize the significance of show
ings of oil such as at the Montana
Pacific well at Pondera, the Drum
heller well at Cnt Bank, the Con
tinental Development well at Pend
roy, the Big Eleven well at Conrad
Butte and the Wood well at Midway,
not to mention the High Gravity No.
l well ON the rimrock. Now comes
the third "sense"
The sense of smell tells something
that everyone win say they know
already. That is, THE DEVONIAN
FORMATION rs PETROLIFER-
GUS. There are many who believe
this statement but few who do any
thing about it. One of the few is
R. G. Tarrant, who is drilling the
Wood discovery well into the Dew
oman.
None who has normal nose viii
doubt the presence of oil in the
Devonian if he win but walk in onto
the derrick floor of the Tarrant-
Wood rig on Midway. While there ie
no oil in the stump, the nose tells of
the presence Of rich petroleum. The
drill cuttings smell strongly Of gaso-
line. Even after 1t stands over night
a container of drill cuttings smells
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1943-10-16

strongly of oil; not of sulphur, but
of rich petroleum.
The Wood well is still 90 feet from
its Devonian objective, as this is
written. The smell Of petroleum is
coming from hard shale-lime for
nation that drills like flint. 1t is too
hard to possibly contain oil or gas
yet it is PETROLIFEROUS.
1t does not follow that this smell
of oil directs an investor to begin
buying royalty on Midway at too
high prices. The fact is that there
may be MORE promising places than
Midway for Devonian production.
We know-because we have some of
the oil-that there Ia high gravity
oil in the Devonian below Kevin-sun-
burst field. We know from Devon
ian test near Waller that there is oil
in the Devonian at that spot, which
is not favOrably located on structure.
We know in our own minds that
the Devonian contains oil and we are
just as certain that it win produce
as were the pioneers of the High
Gravity pool when they found
showing of oil in their unfortunate
No. well. Yet it is safe to say that
the vast majority Of MS will do
nothing about it until we see some
drowned drillers, as in the picture
above, as evidence that there is
Devonian production.
Fortunes await those who DO
SOMETHING before any Devonian
oil smears Montana prairies.
Twenty years ago we set up an
adage for our members: ~Gusher
news is SELLING news; showings-
of-oiI news is BUYING news
The rule is just as adaptable to-
day as it was 30 years ago.

WHY ONLY THREE?

Under present costs the produc-
ton of small wells in Kelvin field
is no longer profitable, with the re-
suit that manpower is wasted and
small wells that otherwise might
swell the total of much-needed
petroleum are lost
Typical example in the past week
is the abandonment of a newly
drilled we'll in the high gravity area
west of Kelvin by DIR. B. A. S.
Aronow of Shelby The well had a
small showing of oil and water. 1t
did not respond to a shot of nitro
glycerin. The owner did not acidize
it, as small stripper was indicated
Il cannot afford to complete a
three or four-barrel we'll" he said.
The cost of operating such a well
is more than the proceeds under
present prices. 1t is better to take
the loss and abandon it than to
operate IL at a loss. If the price
were commensurate with the cost
of operating, we would certainly
try TO make a producer and, in fact,
drill more wells"
A second example was the shut
ting in of an entire lease by ]. H.
Agen, largest individual producer
in west Kelvin. Shortage of labor
and excessive costs have made this
lease run steadily behind" he said
While l appreciate that the oil is
needed. il is not reasonable that we
should continue to take loss every
day it is operated With winter
coming on the loss will be even
greater No other branch of essen
tial war industry is called upon to
operate at loss and we have felt
sure that an increase in the price
of crude would justify us in keep
ing the shippers working. | now
feel certain that the administration
is intent on starving out the little
Independents so there is no good
reason for bringing on slow starva-
ton by operating leases at a loss. -
Throughout Kelvin field there are
idle wells: some for lack of a clean
out job: others have broken Jacks
or rod lines; others could be re-
stored by acidization, but costs do
not justify their repair 1t is more
profitable to let them stand idle.
What is true in Kelvin can be
multiplied many times Over in hun
dredS of other fields over the coun-
try. That is why your gasoline cou-
pom is good for three and not four
gallons.

Oil Murkes Keeps Up

Market for petroleum during Oc-
tober is expected by USBM to be
10 per cent higher than the actual
for October, 1912. Total demand for
motor fuel in 1913 should about
equal the 1912 demand, says the
bureau, military requirements ex-
ceeding the decline in civilian mar
kets. Crude runs to stills in the
fourth quarter of 1943 are expected
TO exceed 100000 barrels daily
and production of 4,350,OO0 bar
rels is required.

No doubt about it-for them

Here are two half-drowned drillers
half drowned in oil-who serve to
illustrate what it takes to convince
the average person about new oil
field.
1t is a mighty uncomfortable pair
because oil-soaked clothing burns the
skin. They are very well convinced.
They bear witness to the fact that a
showing of oil may point the way to
flowing wells.
After a flowing well nearly
browns drillers, it is much too late to
think about starting out to make a
fortune from that well. In this New
Deal age there is no such thing as
buying stock in the company. Ger
tafhly the farmer would sell none of
his royalty for price within reason,
because such sight makes men
think in terms of millions.
The men who win make a fortune
from the development of the High
Gravity pool on top of the rimrock
west of Kelvin are already named
and numbered. They are not the ones
who rushed in and invested last week
after the completion of the Cobb
Coolidge flowing well. They are not
the ones who viii buy tomorrow.
The ones who win make fortunes
in the High Gravity pool are those
who had vision and imagination
enough to read into the structural
condition shown on the walls of the
rimroek the presence of a TRAP for
oil. None could be certain that trap
contained oil. That remained for the
drill. The group who had this vision
drilled a well on the side of the
towering cliff called the rimrock. 1t
was a dry hole except that it had
SHOWING of OIL To the vast ma
jority that meant FAILURE but to
those who had vision, this was the
ONE BIT OF PROOF that was lack
ing. This showing of oil proved that
the TRAP CONTAINS OIL. So they
went ahead with a second and
third well. Good producers rewarded
them. Then came Cobb & Coolidge
and drilled an offset-a moderate
producer. Convinced that they were
on the edge of an oil POOL, they
bodily moved westward beyond any
other wells. The result was flowing
well
Now it is easy for everyone to
know that the High Gravity pool is
an oil field. To the courageous 90 the
spoils. The less courageous usually
drop out before the victory is won.
So it was that when the flowing well
arrived in the High Gravity pool.
The less courageous were pretty
well eliminated-the towards never
started.
The finding of oil fields is not a
process of going out on the prairie
and drilling in a gusher. If that were
all, the country would not be facing
an oil famine today. 1t takes sense
enough to capitalize mere showing
of oil. 1t takes realization that oil
does not occur in mere bucketsful OF
barrelsful but in POOLS. Yet ths
vast majority Of people win accept
a showing Of live oil as something
to CONDEMN an area.
There are many who are today
saying, 81 always knew there wa
an oil field at Midway They recall
the events that led to the establish
ment of that fact by the recent com
pletion of the Hageman-P Pond Rispil
producer. There was enough evidence
