That an effort will be made to locate
the oil reservoir which is thought to
underlie the Flathead valley, is now
assured. and the Kintla Lake oil dis.
trict, in the northeastern part of the
county. along the North Fork of the
Flathead river may have formidable
rival.
For years floating oil on the sloughs
and creeks in the neighborhood OF
Sheldon, a short distance east of the
city, has attracted much attention
During the past month the land own
ers in that locality have held numer.
Gus consultations and it has been de.
cided to form stock company, for
the purpose of drilling one or two
wells. to prospect for coal oil.
A. A. Schoenfeldt, who is largely
interested in property in that part OF
the county will be actively interested
in it's formation. Other large hold
ers of real estate in the neighborhood
have expressed their desire to invest
in the stock of the new company.
The most favorable indications are
noticeable on the old Shaw ranch and
it is probable that the first we'll will
be sunk on that place. j. T. Stew
art. who owns property opposite the
location of the old Sheldon postoffice
is said to have offered a bonus Of
5000. providing the first prospect vel
is drilled on his ranch.
The gentlemen who are at the heat
of the movement will, however, moi

east. who will be sent for. has gone

1t is thought by men who have hat
experience in oil prospecting tina
there is an oil belt running south from

Surface indications all point tx
the fact that quantities of oil under

Coal oil promises to prove one of tn
great producers of wealth in Flathea'
county. The company which is nov
