Connects the Fields.
Between the CARRIER and Billings
fields is likely a Structural high"
with many productive minor domes
and fOldings that cannot be easily
traced by surface indications. In
the opinion OF many the Barnes is
an extension to the west of the Bill
lngs field and acreage In this ter
ntory Ia bringing high bonus,
million and half dollars were
recently paid for half interest In
small acreage in the Billings dis
trict A hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars were paid for the
Zee ot forty acres in the 6arber dis

be gained ot the Importance OF the
barnes well and the opening OF
