MORE INFORMATION CONCERN ING OIL STALE AT DILLON,
 MONTANA

One on the few places where a plant has already been installed for the distil- lation of oil from shale is near Dillon, Mont. T h e shale at the site selected for the operations is a part of the Phosphoria formation, which contains the beds of rock hosphate that are
 -M several places near Bear Lake, in southeastern Idaho, for the manufacture o f fertilizer. Phosphate beds are also associated with this shale in the vicinity of Dillon, and although they are neither so thick nor so rich as the beds in south eastern Idaho they have some prospective value. Soon after it became known that there was shale in the Dillon region from which oil could be distilled certain promoters began to organize companies to drill for oil in that region, and the search has been car ried on consistently in spite of the fact that the geologic conditions there are almost wholly unfavorable to the occurrence of oil.
 The character of these oil shale beds was first brought to the attention of the public in a report by c. F. Bowen, published in 1918 as Bulletin 661 of the United States Geological Survey, Depart ment of the Interior. A more detailed examination of these phosphatic shales and of beds of other formations that may contain oil shale was made late in 1918 by D. Dale Condit, whose report has just been published by the Survey as Bulletin 711-- IB, which is entitled "Oil shade in western Montana, southeastern Idaho, and ad- jacent parts of Wyoming and Utah" Copies of this re- port may be obtained on ap- plication to the Director of of the United States Geolo- gical Survey at Washington, D. c.

doubled and trebled in value, but values went far beyond the fondest expectations of the few who had seen the handwriting on the wall. Waterworks, streetimprove- ments, municipal improve ments of all kinds began to make solid and substantial communities. All this was brought about by the activi- ties, Gin the beginning) of ONE rig.
 In the Holbrook Field we have six rigs already brought in and the immediate possi- bility of having four or more additional rigs in the field within the next six weeks. It is patent that this field is going to have thorough exploration and that it will not be left to ONE rig to prove the field.
 Compared with many other fields in their pioneer stage, the advantages of the Holbrook District are at once apparent, one of which is easily realized in the ex- cellent transportation facili- ties afforded by the main line of the great Santa Fe railroad; the Apache rail- road being an excellent feeder and running through the eastern end of the field. Merchants and residents ] of Holbrook should visualize the possible and probable benefits that may accrue from the bringing in of this field. Arizona, a great min ing state, with thousands and hundreds of thousands of tons of ore to be smelted, the amount increasing with each month. What is more reasonable to expect than that, in view of cheap fuel for the handling of ores, that smelters will soon begin to be erected at Holbrook. This is not a far cry from present conditions and the expectation is not at all ab- surd. As an illustration of industrial advantages, the fact that at Wichita Falls, Texas, they are now build ing the largest casinghead gasoline plant in the world. Who would have concieved it a few years ago. that the dusty, sleepy little town would so soon be an import ant industrial center. This big plant is being erected by Charles F. Noble Oil 6 Gas Company. Just another illustration of what may be
 in store for Holbrook.

Harbin has made a close study of the Holbrook field and is one of the irrepressible boosters, be- lieving thoroughly in the fact that Holbrook will be the center of one of the largest oil fields in the country. His claims for the Holbrook field are predicated on a careful analysis of reports, indica- tions and comparative rela- tions with other great fields of the country. MT. Harbin is to be congratulated on the keen interest he is arousing among his clientel.

 Ten acres, Block 65, sold by J. s. Nelson to North Nebraska Oil Go. for $32, 500. Tract is some distance from best producers.
 A deal is reported in which a small lease in the very heart of the pool changed hands at the rate of $48, 900 an acre, no names being given.
 Thirty-five acres ofsetting the 8, 3,500-b barrel Gray Gander we'll went to Invader Oil 6 Refining Go. for $50, ,000. The 8, ,OOO-barrel Daniels well is southeast of this acreage,

Cb1A0 CAAO " OCAAOA OSAAAOAAA5 SSN approximately the same time many is well worth striving for. The efforts of the community in general in pulling for the proper ex- ploration of the field, the development of which means so much, should be first, last and all the time, for the benefit of those who are en- deavoring to consummate successful exploration.
 The News has been con- Isistent in this respect and our readers will agree we have voiced, to the extent of our ability, disadvantages ap parentin the Holbrook Field. The initial quotation at the beginning of this article will no doubt be of interest to land holders in the Holbrook Field, as the quotations of stocks have heretofore been to those who have invested in the drilling companies. The advantages to accrue to the town in event of produc- tion will no doubt be appar- ent to the merchants and citizens of the district.
 With the realization that no land and no stock will be worth the proverbial "tin- ker's continental" unless oil is brought in by a drilling company, it is certainly, and without question, up to this community to get solidly back of the exploration com panies.
 The man who sells land is morally bound to try and as- sist in making that land valuable; the man who buys land has the same moral re- sponsibility; the merchant and the citizen, in view of probable benefits, no doubt can see the advisability of strong and consistent back ing for the development companies. In fact, it is up to all to assist some com pany of their choice in drill ing to the oil sands. This will be done, if necessary, without this united support of those immediately inter- ested, but it is unquestioned that the result will be mater ially hastened by the un- animous backing that may be secured. The News has been consistently boosting all companies in the field and has played no favorites. Se- lect your company, MT. Landseller, MT. Landbuyer and MT. Merchant, just so it be a drilling company, and get in the game right.
