Geological Importance of
Mosby Discovery
A Statement by Irvine E. Stewart, Formerly Chief Geologist
of the Midwest Refining Company of Wyoming

of the Midwest Refining Company of Wyoming
In the innumerable wells heretofore drilled in the state of
Montana water was encountered in the first member of the Koot-
enai sand at which point these efforts were all abandoned until
the drill was sunk to the second member of the Kootenai sand
by the Frantz Corporation, revealing the presence of AZ gravity
oil in prolific quantity. This sand corresponds in thickness, tex
ture and porous character with the sands of Grass Greek and Elk
Basin and are very favorable for the accumulation and inprison-
ment of large bodies of oil.
Over a very wide area of this state these sands are within the
drilling depth and when prospected, as they will be this summer,
will undoubtedly make Montana as large an oil state as its sister
state Wyoming.
That practical and experienced oil men and biologists fully
realize the Importance of this recent discovery is best atested by
the fact that all of the larger producing organizations have ex-
perts in the field examining available structures, leasing them
up and shipping train1oads of equipment to north central Mon
tana to inaugurate one of the largest drilling campaigns ever
instituted in any virgin oil state.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ILL
Prelate's Physician, However, say
His Condition Is Not Serious

Baltimore, Dec. 15.-(By A. P.)--
The sending of nurse yesterday to at
tend Cardinal Gibbons, who has been
resting Mt the home Of Robert II. Shriver
at Union Mills, Nd, for the last ten
days, led to reports that the cardinal
was seriously i'll. These were denied
today by the cardinals physician and
at the Episcopal residence.
The doctor said the cardinal was suf-
fering from fatigue caused by overtaxed
strength. He is organically sound, the
physician said, and is expected to re-
turn to Baltimore within few days.
Several times within recent months
the cardinal has suffered slight attacks
OF weakness, which. while momentary
naturally. caused anxiety, owing to his
advanced agc-eighty six years.
