WOULD AID MEN
OUT OF EMPLOYMENT

George w. Lanstrum, chairman of
the state highway commission has is
sued an appeal to boards of county
commissioners of the state in the
hope of commencing as much road
work as possible at once in an effort
to furnish employment to many min
ers and smeltermen who have been
thrown out of work by reason of the
closing of the Butte mines and the
smelters of the state which treat the
ores from these mines.
The letter sent out yesterday by
Mr.. Lanstrum says:
Having in mind the surplus of la
Dor in the state, the suspension o.
work by the mines at Butte and by
the smelters at Butte, Great Falls
and Anaconda, and the number Of
farmers applying for employment fol
teams, this department suggests the
d~esirability of prosecuting vigorous
ly a public works construction pro-
gram as funds now availa1 70 will per-
NIT.
"We believe road and bridge con-
struction can be let at advantageous
prices now for the next 80 days. We
believe, too, that the construction of
public improvements during the com
ing summer will aid materially in sta
billing the industrial situation and
will contribute to the economic devel-
opment of the entire state.
"The matter is suggested for your
earnest consideration"

HAVRE INTENTLY WAITING
CLEAR CREEK DEVELOPMENT

Information from the well, which
is being sunk on the Clear Greek
structure in the Havre oil field by
the Ohio Oil company for the Re-
public Oil company, from what are
considered reliable sources, is to the
effect that the hole has now reach
ed a depth around 1900 feet and that
the undermining is proceeding for the
purpose Of lowering the ten inch pipe.
When drilling ceased for the pur-
pose of lowering the pipe, there wa
said to have been about 400 feet of
open hole, and considerable trouble
from caving.
1t is understood that it is the pur-
pose of those in charge of the well
to lower the ten inch pipe to the depth
attained and then proceed farther
with an eight inch pipe.
Rumors have been current during
the past few days hat oil has been
encountered, but this has been de-
MED by men interested in the we'll,
Thse rumors spread to Graf Falls and
Helena and telephone calls were re-
ceived by the Promoter from both
places by oil men interested in an en-
deavor TO ascertain facts.
AS it has been generally under
stood that the sands in which it is
expected to find oil lie at a depth
around 1000 feet or more, it is be-
lleved that arrangements are being
made to proceed with caution, as the
field is new and the drillers have to
feel their way.

OIL FIELDS CALL MINERS

Montana's oil fields are attracting
numerous mining men of the state.
In the Cat Creek district already a
number of well known Montana min
ing men have taken over large inter-
ests and several have met with i'm
mediate success.
Among the Helena mining men,
who, temporarily at least, have de-
serted mining for the oil game, are
C. N. Fryberger and Carl Trauerman.
Mr.. Fryberger has identified himself
with a strong concern which has large
holdings. Mr.. Trauerman is now Wis
iting the oil fields and contemplates
locating in Lewistown.
R. A. Weisner of Helena is an of
ficer of the Helena Petroleum COM
pany, but he has by no means given
up any interest in the mining world;
in fact he is devoting a large portion
of his time and energy to his extensive
mining interests.
Jack Rowand, pioneer Helena, min
ing man, is interested in an oil COM
pany which has extensive holdings in
Montana and Texas. Associated with
Mr.. Rowand is George 7. MCGEE of
the Barnes-King company, actively
engaged in mining.

COBURG HAS ENTERED LISTS

Coburg has entered the list for the
discovery of the mother oil pool. Last
week representatives of the Elk Basin

signed a contract for the erection of
a drilling rig or the Coburg oil struc-
ture. They have leased a large acre
age to the north and last of town
from the local leasing company. and
will be at work drilling in the sum-

30, 1920, to the date that the delin.
quent taxes were paid?
In discussing the question Mr.. Rank.
in said:
ut is evident that the legislature
intended to remit only the 10 per cent
penalty on delinquent taxes, paid at
any time before October l, 1921; also
that the penalty alone was to be re-
funded on taxes that were allowed to
go delinquent Nov. 80, 1920, and have
since been paid and this only in case
claim was made therefore prior to
June /, 1921. Had it been intended to
remit or refund the interest accrued,
IL seems that the act would read pen
atty and interest," instead of penalty
Only. 10 make it more certain and
GEAR, the last proviso of the section
reads, Provided further, that all de-
Iinquent taxes for the year 1920 shall
bear interest at the rate of one per
cent per month from November 80,
1920, until paid
!. This | think clearly indicates the
intention of the legislature not to re-
NIT or refund interest on delinquent
taxes and clearly answer your quest
ion.
1T is, therefore, my opinion, that
under provision of house substitute
tor senate bill No. 95, being chapter
2 OF the Seventeenth session laws, the
county treasurer may refund only the
penalty on delinquent taxes for 1920,
and should collect interest on such
delinquent taxes at one per cent per
month from November 30, 1920, to
the date the delinquent taxes are
paid"

CHINOOK
"A OIL SHALE

C. R. Hauke, of Chinook, who is
district president of the Roosevelt
highway association was here last
Sunday attending a district meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
Mr.. Hauke is not only one of the best
good roads men in the state but is in
close touch with the oil campaign,
especially as to conditions around the
Chinook field in which he is financial
ly interested. He says that during
last week first oil shale was struck
by prospectors there but that accident
has delayed drilling and that it may
be a few days yet before definite news
will be released on the subject. Com
panies in which he is interested let

v EAST

H. E. Baily has just returned from
a trip through the eastern part OF
the United States and states that
business conditions in the west are
far better than in the east and east
ern cities are filled with the largest
number of unemployed in years.
He states that in the various cities
he visited while in the east, people
are interested in the oil development
in progress in Montana, especially the
northern part of the state, and that
a strike of oil here will bring a flood
of eastern capital to develop the oil
possibilities.

Two CAT CREEK
WELLS IN WEEK
Both Good With Estimated Produc.
ton of 800 Barrels-TOtal
rs Wells.

According to the Lewistown Argus,
two wells were brought in within "a
hours last week.
The Mccarthy well was brought in
early last Friday morning. Immedi-
ately the bit pierced the sands the
oil began rising in the casing and in
a ~comparably short time had risen
a thousand feet. All this in spite of
the fact that a 60-foot cavein inter
fered with the flow. Every indica-
ton at an early date was that the
well would be a good producer, con-
servatively estimated at not less than
300 barrels.
This is the twenty-sixth producer
in the Cat Creek and also is the deep
est we'll brought in thus far, being
1404 feet deep. Mccarthy is natur-
ally happy over his success and is
receiving the congratulations of his
friends and we'll wishers. He is fully
deserving of his success, as he hac
to overcome many obstacles and dis.
couraging circumstances. His prog
ress was married by repeated acci
dents and drilling delays that would
have discouraged many less deter
mined men. He is entitled to thu
reward of a fine producer.
MidnOrthern Catlett Well.
Twenty-four hours after the repor,
of the Mccarthy well reached tn,
lefty came the report that the Mid.
nortern Catlett well had been brought
in. Within 30 minutes after the sane
had been tapped the oil had riser
1000 feet in the casing and thus the
early indications wepe for a. very
good well, estimates being not less
than 300 barrels.
The sand was reached at 1,224 feet
and makes this the twen~ty-seventh
producer in the Cat Greek field.
This we'll was drilled in remark
ably short time and no mishaps mar
red the progress. Every preparation
was made for it's reception, as the
superintendent had nicely figured the
depth at which the sands would be
reached.

TOOLE COUNTY FIELDS
TAKING ON ACTIVITY

Kelvin, Montana, April 4, 1921-Ke
win is daily taking on new life. Thi:
J point, which up until just recently
was little more than a mere train
stop of the Great Northern railway:
sweetgrass line is becoming the hui
of greatest activity in the new Toole
county oil fields. Every train brings
new and strange faces and every morn.
ing sees some added party Of enthus-
lasts leaving here for a survey of the
fields and incidentally t. visit the site
of geologist Gordon Cdmpbell's own
first well. Already the representa-
tives of several cf the LARGE oil COM
ing acreage or gathering data pre-
liminary to active operation.
Geologist Gordon Campbell has for
the past several days been IN the
ground supervising the field work pre-
paratory to the spudding-in of his
well in the NEA of NEA of Sec. IS,
Twp. 35. Rye. 8 w, NJ. M. Mr..
Campbell is very enthusiastic, as are
the two drilling crews. who with drill
er Cy Hurd, the man who will have
complete charge of the work. arrived
on ground Saturday. The drillers
have Immediately set about the as
sembling of machinery and the at
tending to all minor details and ex-
poet to be ready to spud-in in a very
few days.
The drill rig, on the field now and
to be used in the supdding-in Of the
Gordon Campbell first well, is ac-
knowledged by all who have seen it
to be absolutely the best and most
complete yet brought to the state of
Montana. The drillers, themselves,
are most elaborate in their praise of
the outfit and its completeness mean
ing simplicity to drilling. According
to Cy Hurd. the man who will have
charge of all drilling operations, the
Campbell well will be spudded-in with
more advantage to the drillers
than has been the case in any other
point of the state. The rig, states
Mr.. Hurd. is a California standard,
all new throughout, with an 84-foot
derrick, 6-inch rig irons. 45-horse
power boiler and everything neces-
sary for the working of two towers
through until the we'll has
been completed.
Mr.. Campbell states that his spud-
will take place early next
week. He has extended an open in
vitation to all who so desire to be
present and witness the event which
he hopes will mark the opening up
a new Montana field of big oil
production. Arrangements are now
being made for a special train to
Great Falls early on the morn
ing of the spudding-in and to spend
four or five hours on the field. This
excursion will be open to all who care
to take advantage of it. Reserva-
should be made at once with
Newman, who has the matter
in hand.

QlRevieW
WOLF POINT HAS
BONUS CAMPAIGN
$50, 900 and Valuable Realty Rights to
be Presented to PrOspectOr Who
First Strikes Oil.

The Wolf Point commercial clul
will attempt to secure from citizen:
a guarantee of $4,000, to be present
ed as a bonus to the first prospectol
who strikes oil on the Wolf Point
dome.
The matter was decided at a special
meeting of the directors of the club
last week. H. A. Schoening, o. T,
Stennes and G. H. Flint were appoint
ed a soliciting committee.
This committee will attempt to Sc
cure the guarantee of a bonus amount
ing to $4,000 to be paid in cash to
the person or firm that brings in the
first producing oil well in the Wolf
Point territory.
The 1920 United States Geological
Survey regarding the Wolf Point
dome is very encouraging and it is
thought that this. together with such
a liberal proposition should interest
men in the oil business. Nothing def
mite has yet been done by the COM
mittee but in a very short time the
proposition will be put up to respon-
sible people in Wolf Point and near
by territory.
G. P. Lamberton of the Wolf Point
VII anu NdS w., Ildu DeeIl llflteU W
lay a proposition from that company
before the directors. Mr.. Lamberton
stated that he was authorized to Of
fer a half interest in oil leases ag-
gregating 10000 acres of land held
by the Wolf Point Oil and Gas Co.,
to any responsible operator who
would sink a test we'll for oil on the
Wolf Point dome and suggested that
the Commercial club also get back
of the proposition to encourage ex-
p~loitation in this line.
The Wolf Point Promoter says: We
believe that if such an offer were
made it would be but a short time be-
fore actual drilling operations would
be under way and if oil is found, the
bonus money would be we'll spent.
This is the biggest proposition that
has eve been attempted by the
Commercial club and one which is
worthy of support by every citizen.
Let's all get in and-put it over!
