up vast area that will produce
(engineers say) 150,00O,000 bar
rels of oil. When we stop to
think that the old Elk Basin
field with its slender Frontier
sand production is now enc of
the greatest pools in the Rocky
Mountain region as the result of
deeper drilling we realize that
great days are coming for Mon
tana.
Imagine the Elk Basin royalty
owner who sat patiently for Is
years. That was hard to take
but there was nothing to do but
to sit and take it because Elk
Basin royalties were no less than
a drug on the market and could
MT be sold. Then comes the dis
cOvery of a horizon that yields
an average initial of ONE
HUNDRED BARRELS PER
HOUR in the competitions to
date. Is that an ample reward
for patience?
We believe that reward is like
wise coming to those of us who
have been patient enough to
hang onto our Montana royalties
lin Kelvin, in Pondera and in
Bannatyne, as an example. The
fact that the large companies
have not drilled to the Devonian
proves nothing. Where major
company controls an entire struc-
ture, it is free to drill deeper
but so long as there are three
or more companies on Struc-
ture, none is willing to go ahead.
Accordingly, it is not condemna-
tion--any more than Elk Basin
was condemned when such COM
panies as Standolind Oil & Gas
Co. and Ohio Oil Co. failed to
drill deeper.
We need not again point out
that Illinois would be has
been" oil state today except for
deeper drilling Devonian
production. To say that the ma
jor companies do not know that
fact is ridiculous. The fact that
major companies carefully avoid
drilling below the top of the
Madison lime is based on the
same practice as led Elk Basin
operators to stop at the Frontier
Naturally, they have to figure
out reason. Cornered when
they try to justify drilling OF
shallow post holes" while
searching for oil, they say
There are no SANDS in the
Devonian."
The answer to this is: "WhC
wants sands anyway? Most o.
this country's oil comes from
LIME"
That is the reason we fee
that even Nature conspireC
against us in giving up oil at thI
top of the Madison lime at Pend
roy. We are anxious to see :
