OIL WILL PAY

(Continued From Page One) burse the stockholders of the bankβ€”plus a profit, in Cut Bank oil field.

This became known with the completion of the No. 3 well on the Coover lease, which belongs to the Farmers State Bank of Cut Bank, defunct. When the bank failed, stockholders were called upon to pay double the amount of their stock. One stockholder deeded 160 acres of farm land, in NEΒΌ 17-33-5W, in lieu of cash.

When oil development came, Coover, receiver of the bank, leased to Nadeau Brothers. They have completed three wells. The first, completed December 12, 1935, had an initial of 42 barrels, the second 100 barrels and the third will be 150 barrels or better.

The accumulation of six months is enough to pay a 30 per cent dividend to depositors. It will not be long, with the added production of the No. 3, before the depositors will be paid out 100%. The bank has 12% landowner's royalty, having given the former owner of the farm one half of one percent in settlement of a controversy over title.
