What is believed to be the larg-
est well yet found in the Cat Creek
field was brought in few days ago
by the Elk Basin company. 1t is
known as Frantz we'll No. 5. The
sand was encountered 40 feet near
er the surface than the geOlOgists
expected, and when the bit cut into
the sand the oil came on with a
rush and spouted into the air 100
feet.
No estimate has been made yet
as to the wells output, but at flush
of production it is considerable.
The well is located in section H.
1929, on the Wildschultz tract,
being the sixth producer on the
glory hole of Cat Creek. The con-
Germs most interested in the pro-
duction are the Elk Basin COnsOli-
dated, the Frantz Corporation, the
Hover Consolidated Royalties COM
pany and the Mitchell Royalties
company, and individuals control
ling fractional royalties.

Judge Fred w. Freeman, president
company, one of the largest operat-
ing concerns in the oil game in Mon
tana, and which through its subsi-
diary the Montana Oil company, sup
plies Montana with perhaps SO per
cent of the gasoline and oil consum-
ed in the state, conferred with the
legislators at Helena last week, with
reference to the proposed three per
cent tax on oil. Previous to his
meeting with the joint house and
senate oil committee he had con-
ference with Governor Dixon.
Judge Freeman explained to the
governor and to the legislators that
Montana is already receiving and
will receive 81 1-2 per cent of the
total royalty of from IL IL to 80
per cent paid to the government by
operators on the public domain. The
So 1-2 per cent of government royal
ty goes to the reclamation service,
most of which comes to Montana and
other western states. The remaining
10 per cent goes into the general
administration fund of the federal
land department.
The fact that Montana gets 81 IL
per cent of the total royalty paid to
the government, was news to the
legislators who have before them a
bill to tax oil producers per cent.
State Gets 81 IL Per Cent.
Judge Freeman thus showed that
the state is already getting better
than per cent from public domain
lands and it is probable that the oil
bill now before the house will be
amended, taking off the per cent
tax proposed on government lands.
The judge pointed out, too, that in
the present condition of the oil in
dustry in Montana, with practically
only one small field showing any
thing, the 8 per cent might very cas-
lily be the stumbling block between
hope and realization of development
of Montana fields Considering that
Montana already gets 81 IL per cent
of the royalties of the the govern
ment and some additional money for
service, he urged that
nothing be done to discourge devel-
1pment at this critical stage.
The proposed per cent tax, which
s the same as a royalty of that
added to royalties paid to
,wners of property and, on public
lomain, the heavy royalty to the gov
,rnment, would make it next to i'm
possible for companies to finance
themselves to prospect for oil sue

Groan as Whiskey Flows.

Havre, Jan. 17.-As Police Magis-
trate Pyper knocked the headys off
48 bottles of Hiram Walker whis-
kew and the contents were poured
into the gutter, the crowd watching
the destruction groaned. However,
as the brand of the whiskey became
known, the groans subsided, due, it
is reported, to several unfortunate
experiences with this brand in re-
cent months. Destruction of the Ii
quor was ordered by the city mag
istrate.
