ing TO be a very satisfactory we'll.
The pumping material which had been
several weeks in arrival. but, on reach
ing Winnett, no time was lost in haul
ing it out to the well and installing it..
AS the pump has been operating but
a short time. it is impossible to state
with any degree Of accuracy just
what the production will be, but those
in from the we'll Thursday report that
it is now making in the neighborhood
of $50 barrels daily. which is as much
as could be expected and more than
was estimated by the old timers in
the field.
It is understood that the Jackrabbit
No. 2 will be started within few days
and that it will be pushed down to the
sand as rapidly as possible.
AS the Frantz drillers have repu
tation of making fast hole it is prob
able that the Frantz Brown No. ?

Havre, July 2.-Drilling at the
Clear Greek oil we'll has ceased, and
the Ohio Oil company has pulled up
its eight Inch well casing and it is I'M
6erstood that the remainder Of the
easing there will be salvaged.
Reasons for disseminating the oper-
atoms have not yet been given out,
but many of those who have been
working in this field for the company
have left. When drilling was stopped,
the company was below depth of
$500 feet and in the Colorado shale.
The Clear Greek structure was new
er shown on the government geological
survey map. From surface indications
it was thought by those connected with
locating the structure that oil would
be found at depth Of 1000 feet.
When the company passed $500 feet,
doubt was expressed here by many
connected with oil interests that Clear
Creek had ever been a structure.
The well has been drilling since De-
tober Of last year, and great excite
ment over the outcome has been man
ifested here as operations progressed.

in Garfield.
Special to The Tribune.

Winnett, July 2.-The Absaroka Oil
company. which is now having materials
and supplies hauled out to the well,
spottiDg in section 1-14-30 across the
Musse1shell river near Mosby, was rob-
bed Of a wagonload of two-inch water
pipe from one of it's wagons while it
was parked for the night along the
road.
There were about $50 lengths Of pipe
totalling about 5000 feet in all, and as
water line Of about 5000 feet in
length will be required to convey water
from the river to the location, Manager
Kimmell expects that spudding in may
be delayed until new pipe can be Sc
cured.
The heavy drilling machine for the
Absaroka company. which weighs about
"a, 600 pounds. was hauled to the drill
ing site by IS head Of horses last week
and was landed without mishap.
It is understood that the Absaroka
No. 1 will be ready for spudding some
time next week and it is also given
out that in all probability the Absa
roka company will drill number of
wells in Garfield county during the
course of the summer.

STELLAR OIL STRIKE
CREATES STAMPEDE
To FORSYTH FIELD
Fabulous Prices Offered For
Leases on POrcupine Dome;
Product Is Heavy.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Winnett, July 2.-Parties who motor
ed in from Forsyth brought word that
the Stellar Oil & Gas company's oil
strike on the Porcupine dome north Of
Forsyth, is flowing at the rate Of at
least Is barrels day. The oil is said
to be Of heavier quality than that
produced in Cat Creek. but not as
heavy as the Soap Greek product.
The strike produced great excite
ment in Forsyth, Billings and the en-
tire southeastern part of the state,
and oil men and sightseers from all
over the country have poured into For
syth and thronged the road to the well.
AS the Porcupine structure is one
of the largest and most promising in
the state, the discovery of oil within
that area means tremendous leap
forward for the oil industry in Mon
tana. 1t is also stated that since the
news of the strike, fabulous prices have
been offered for leases in the vicinity
of the Stellar strike and that much
acreage is changing hands. The Stel-
lar people have a number Of rigs on
the Porcupine dome and it is under
stood that they control the most prom
Using portion of the structure.
A number of oil operators have al
ready left Winnett for the new field
and if the first news is substantiated
by further facts, it is expected that
good many of the Cat Creek operators
will endeavor to broaden their actlyi-
ties to include the Porcupine dome.

There 10 but one way by which We
could make the readers Of the journal
better acquainted with L. c. stevense1.
His photograph is all that 10 required
to make all Of you perfectly acquainted
with him, for his work in handling the
advertising and publicity for the Cor
don Campbell company has established
him well in the minds Of the people Of
not only Montana but the western
states as we'll.
We dare say that there Is not an
advertising man or q publicity director
In the entire west who Is not at this
time really envious Of Mr.. stevenson's
ability and success. Starting with the
publicity for his company at time
when it seemed that the business de-
preston was Mt its worst, by strong
personal appeal and copy written and
edited in q manner which is inimit able
and distinctive. this man has put over
one Of the biggest oil companies in
Montana, and has done it with heart
to heart talks with the people through
tho medium Of the press. He is a mas
ter of logic, q master Of facts and every
line of his copy has carried that appeal
to human interest which alone will
make advertising successful.
This is not the only business venture
that has been successful under the man
agement of l.. C. stevenson. Coming
into this state some five years ago as
q distributor for a well known automo-
bile. he has built up that business to
= point where 1t ranks among the larg-
est Of all Wholesale business Of the en-
tire state. He made ~ success OF the
automobile business and has made n
success OF the oil business. and = We
freely predict that before his useful
life is terminated he viii make sue
cess Of all business to which he may
turn his attention.
Mr.. Stevenson is Trustee and secre-
tary-treasurer of the syndicate to which
he has devoted his time and ability.
He was born in the land of Dixie In
1885. and his first work was with a
mule and cotton chopper in the fields
of the Southland. Since that time he
has held many important positions as
secretary to officials Of the large bust
ness interests of the country. and has
made good in each and every instance.
