MONTANA FEDERAL OIL
NOW SINKING
ON THE WILLOW CREEK
Special to the Daily Tribune.

opeclal TO the an tribune.
Roundup, Sept. 6.-Starting working
a % inch hole in which they have set
20 inch casing, the we'll which is being
drilled by the Montana Pioneer Oil
company for the joint account of the
Morton Oil company, Montana Federal
oil company and itself, has reached 365
feet and is making unusually rapid
progress. A rig belonging to the Pub
lie Oil and Gas company, which is re-
puted to be one of the Standard sub
salaries, has been set on 9-1O-25, a
few miles southeast of the Montana
Pioneer rig, both Of them being on
the Willow Creek structure.
Another well which is attracting
much attention is the Ohio Oil COM
pany we'll on Ragged Point dome which
has just been spudded in. They expect
to finish the we'll to production with
a short time and state that they have
a chance a the same sands which brot
in such big production on Cat Creek.
With representatives of several
large operating companies in Roundup
the past week busily engaged in look
ing over acreage for drilling, it is ex-
pected that announcement will be made
of several drilling agreements on new
fields which have not yet been tested.
Among the fields mentioned in rumors
as being favorably considered are the
Antelope dome, the Big Wall structure
and the Belmont dome. All of these
are considered splendid prospects, es-
pecially the Big Wall which is declared
by many biologists to be the most per-
feet structure in this field. Represen-
tatives of the Deheney interests are
making an investigation here, but no
announcement of their findings has
been had as yet, although it is kown
that they have acquired considerable
acreage in the county.

Mandera, California.
Orig of the flames has not been as
%certained. Two entire blocks of build
ings were destroyed and city officials
say the loss of fire may exceed even
the estimated Is inasmuch as there
was no way of ascertaining how many
strangers were occupying rooms in
homes adjacent to the hotel which
was destroyed.
The Houston hotel was crowed with
visitors from the surrounding country,
here to celebrate labor day. Besides
the nine known dead, four are unac-
counted for and it was said others
might have persisted of whom there
is no record of their presence in the
hotel. The monetary loss it was said,
would exceed 100000.
Later investigation indicated that
the fire started in some rubbish under
a tear stairway. The fire department
was drenching the ruins in an effort to
cool the debris so that search for pos
sible other bodies could be continued.
The hotel normally accommodates about
so persons but it was believed that
more than 100 were guests there last
night. Three rooming houses and six
residences were included in the build
ings destroyed. Mrs. w. B. Barnes,
who operated the Houston hotel said
she believed more than nine had per-
ished.
