NEW CONCERN TAKES
OVER THREE TRACTS
IN MOSBY OIL AREA

Lewistown, Dec. 22.-One of the
most important transactions ever con-
sumated in the Mosby field is the pur-
chase of three tracts of oil land COM
prising in all $40 acres, in four
separate tracts extending from the
Musselshell river on west to the west
dome, one tract being neal the West
Dome Well and another but a short
distance from the Montacal.
The big deal was engineered by II.
T. Hasselquist, who has quit the news
paper game to devote his time to this
new project, the acreage being taken
over by the Baker syndicate, with Joe
Baker, founder Of the Sc Petroleum, at
the head of it and F. R. Cunningham,
cashier of the Lewistown State bannk,
one Of the trustees.
The deal involved a large amount Of
cash. and in the organization of the
new company the sapital stock is plac-
ed at the low figure of S150,O00. 1t IS
the purpose of this company to drill
at the earliest possible time, the loca-
ton of the tracts almost assuring pro-
duction.

GROWING OIL ACTIVITY
IN BIG HORN COUNTRY

Three oil wells are being sunk in
the country surrounding Hardin. Pro
spectors are very jublilant in their
chances for a strike. The Producers
and Refners Co., drilling on the
Tschirgi property near Wyola, are
making good progress and expect to
strike at about 1900 feet. The Western
State Oil Company is down about 600
feet in their well on Soap Greek. They
also expect to hit the much sought
LIQUID at around 1900 feet. 1t is said
that prospects here look to be very fav-
orable and a we'll established conf
dence prevails concerning this terri
tory as oil producing. No late reports
have been obtained concerning the
Tennessee-Montana oil concern, drill
ing on the Sarpy dome, but it is pre-
sumed they are making Roadway. 1t is
said that several different companies
and individuals have leased about 49,
coo acres on the Crow reservation for
oil prospecting purposes and by spring
many more rigs will probably be
placed in this county.

DRILLS OPEN A GAS
POCKET NEAR POPLAR

Natural gas was discovered this
week in a we'll being drilled OF Unit
No. /, of the Montana Farming copper

the farming company ignited gas
Wednesday afternoon and a four foot
flame resulted. 1t burned freely and
to be extinguished had to be smother
ed. The we'll is of the deep well or
Artesian type and the gas flows
through a four inch casing. The well
is down between $50 and 675 feet and
is in one of the sands found in drilling
oil wells. Up until sand Vas struck the
drilling had been through a blue clay
sort Of substance. The well is located
on the new site of Unit No. / which is
on the property the company purchas-
ed recently through the Government
from one Of the Charles R. Trinder

 London, Aug. 4.-Bolsheviki forces, triumphantly in possession of Brest- Litovsk, last night swarmed across the River Bug, on which the city is situat- ed, and resumed their march toward the capital Their crossing removed the last natural line of defense be- tween Warsaw and the invaders
 Executing a forward thrust between two columns of the widely scattered Polish first and fourth armies, the Bolsheviki marched toward Warsaw without danger of a flanking move ment. The Poles were widely scat tered over a large territory and eff fective resistance was impossible. Dis order reigned supreme at the capital at the time the latest dispatches were filed.
 Advices from Russian sources to- day tell of renewed effort upon the part of Poland to discuss an armistice, which was interrupted when the Polish armistice delegation refused to dis cuss the basic terms of peace. With overwhelming defeat confronting them, 1t is said the Polish ministry order ed the delegation to return to the Russian lines with an offer to negoi- tate terms of an armistice and also peace.
