Montana Oil Used
as Fuel for Many
Years, Says Catron

Long before the oil wells.were drilled
in northern Montana, or for that mat
ter, at any place in the state. Montana
oil had been used for cooking pur-
poses. according to a story told by G..
u. Catron, a resident of Great Falls
and a well known rancher of northern
Montana.
The Catron ranch properties are To-
Gated on Elk creek and Hound creek
and there are several ~outcroppings of
coal veins which provide fuel for the
ranch and ranchers of the vicinity.
These have been worked for many
years. There are also outcroppings of
shale which carry quantities of shale
oil.
One winter several years ago there
was a Swede ranch hand employed by
the ranch in general work. He knew
little about coal but was sent one day
to get a load. Instead. he brought
back q load of shale which was situated
near the coal outcropping.
When the coal supply ran out, the
ranch cook made a try at using the
shaie. When the shale heated. the oils
formed a gas and burned with a good
blue flame. Being shale. it did not
form an ash. but when the fire was
allowed to go out. only the dry shale
remained. So good a fire did the shale
oil provide that the ranch used the en-
tire load before a more experienced
ranch hand brought q load of real coal.

DALEY reported that the well was
drilled a few inches into the sand and
that the oil raised 200 feet in the cas-

Drilling operations were stopped to
place a control head ON the casing and
hook up with the storage tanks. DALEY
aid there was a strong gas pressure,
and that the opinion of oil men is that
the well is a better one than the dis

drill the well in better. with the a $

U.s.. ENGINEERS
WORK ON Mines
in AUSTRALIA
Electrolytic Zinc Expert Tells
Of Development in Min
ing Copper.

American nfning and metallury en-
gineers are laying the basis for the
development of mining in Australia,
according to George II. Cunningham,
chief engineer of the E~lectrolytic Zinc
company of Australia, well known to
mining men of Great Falls because of
his work in this state formerly with
the Anaconda Copper Mining com
pany.
Cunningham was with the Anaconda
Copper Mining company at the time
of the development Of the %eletrolytie
zinc process and the building Of the
plant in Great Falls. He went to
Australia to carry IN a similar work
for the mining operators of the Brok-
en- Hill district. The electrolytic zinc
plant was located on Tasmania, an is
land off the mainland where hydro
electric power was available.
Build up Industry
In building up the mining indus
try which includes, in addition to the
eIectrolytic plant has rolling mills and
,wire mills, the American engineers
have called in to play the basis Of de-
velopment. With this basis. the Aus
tralian and English engineers have, in
many cases, made improvements but
the foundation has always been on
American mining and reduction meth

"Gold Diggers,"D Due
at Grand Theater
for Three-day Run

The Gold Diggers," written by that
most prolific and prosperous drama
fist. Avery Hopwood, and produced by
David Belasco, will be the attraction
at the Grand theater, November T.. IL
and IA.
The occasion will mark the first
performance of the play in this city,
as heretofore the company has APP
peared only in New York, Chicago and
Boston. The New York run continued
un~interruptedly for two years: the
Chicago run covered q year, and the
Boston engagement was extended to d
period of several months. The organ
ization is now on its first tour to the
Pacific coast.
Of the many excellent plays that
have come from the pen of Mr.. Hop
wood, "The Gold Diggers," is consid-
cred by the majority of critics to be
most ingenius in plot and the most
humorous i'll dialogue and incident. AS
q matter of fact, the author has very
nicely managed to combine the bright
ness and charm of musical comedy
with the suspended interest of real
drama by revealing TO the audience a
colorful picture of life among chorus
girls and show girls Of New York.
This is a province hitherto %unexplor-
ed, except very casually. by writer's
for the stage, and Mr.. Hopwood has
found it and has set it forth as a
perfect FL Dorado of humor. The
term Gold Diggers' which is Of re
cent coinage, is applied TO young wo-
men of beauty and fascination whose
aim in life it is to get money and to
spend it with the greatest possible
alacrity.
In raiding the pocket books Of their
admirers, they are more crafty than
dishonest. and they possess Robin
Hoods virtue of bestowing largely up
ON the poor that which they have taken
from the wealthy. There is a deal of
human nature and sincere sentiment

thatthis country puts out a finish pro-
duct where previously it sent its zinc

he said. "Of the 100000 pounds
now produced Of zinc, about 100000
pounds is used in domestic consump-
ton while the remainder goes to Eng
land and European countries.

or a little more than half the size Of
the plant in Great Falls. Our biggest
problem was that Of shipping mater
iais in. The equipment came largely
by way Of the mainland of Australia,
while the timbers were of hardwood
from the island of Tasmania itself.
White Labor Used
"Our labor is all of whites, largely
of Irish and Scotch immigrants and
they form n body of labor much the
same as that you will find in Great
Falls. The blacks are not used as la
Dor about the plant in any way.
The town of Hobart, where we
make II headquarters has a pepu-
lation of about 10000 persons and IS
similar to towns of England in many
ways. The people of Australia. how
ever, are much more like Americans in
their attitude and characteristics than
they are like the English. The Aus
t~ralians are a fine group of people
and are making a distinct success OF
their operations"
Cunningham left Tasmania more
than a year ago and since that time
has been travelling through the Orient,
Europe and England inspecting oper-
atoms in handling zinc ores. He Will
return to Tasmania shortly to re-
sumo his duties there.

contains several hundred barrels of
Oil from the we'll.
Reports from the field oil are to
the effect that the well is easily the
best in the field and the flow has held
to about 400 barrels u day. Oil men
say that the production has been held
down slightly by holding it to a two
inch connection ON the control head
and also by the fact that it is neces-
sary to force the oil some 30 feet
above the level of the casing into the
tanks. Whep the two inch connec-
ton is turned into the pond without
having to force the oil upward, the
production is considerably increased.
The we'll has already been connected
with the Illinois Pipe Line and ran
better than 1000 barrels through to
the big storage tank at Sunburst.
