nany was one of the important steps
in the northern oil fields during the
last few days.
The reservoir is probably the larg-
est source of water in the northern
field, with only the possibility that d
series of artesian wells might pc aug
that would surpass it.
The reservoir is located in three
sections. 81. 80 and 33-31-2 W. 1t Is

LAUNCH WINTER
CAMPAIGN FOR
OIL AT BORDER
Confidence Is Strong That
Flows Will Be Struck; Nc
Lean Underreams.
Special to The Tribune

SpecIal 10 Line Tribune
Lethbridge, Alta, Dec. PA win
ter campaign of drilling has been I'M
dertaken by the Gusher Bill Boew-Ira
Segar syndicate, in which the Impe-
rial Oil company is said to have an in
terest. They are drilling just north of
the Sweet Grass hills, not far from
the old Grand Trunk Development
well in which Segar encountered Oil
in 1917. The war caused the hackers
to abandon the well at that time.
Reports from the well are that a
good water well has been brought in
at 200 feet with adequate water for
both drilling and camp requirements
This will cut off a big item of expense
as water purchased from farmers is as
expensive as oil at the border. This
outfit has one of the best camps In
bringing in a well.
Underreaming and setting of casing
continues in the Mclean well. The
black shale which the bit has now
encountered smells strongly of pc
troleum and bears good traces of oil.
The we'll is expected to come in in the
next 100 or 200 feet. The drillers
are now working to shut off the flow
of water from above.
Shareholders of the Lethbridge Oil
company. drillers of the Baalim we'll,
have authorized an increase of capital
stock, and a block will be sold for
further development. Baalim has a
nice. clear, dry hole and is down over
1000 feet. He has had showings of
oil. He is a mile from the Mclean
hole.
Much interest centers in the inva-
sion of the American side of the Dor
der field by Calgary capital. A group
of %financiers of that city have spudded
in a well near the Hogan and the
Gladys Belle-kears wells, two of the
best producers in the northern Mon
| tana field. Drilling lis in charge OF
Jack Decker, who drilled the Hogan
well. The land is owned by Decker
and Senator Roberts of Great Falls
and the arrangement is a 5000 propo-
sition throughout.
There is not a trace of discourage
ment in this city owe conditions at
the border. On the contrary, conf
dence is strong that some good wells
will be brought in. The excellent
showings in the Mclean well indicates
| the presence Of oil somewhere in the
vicinity. and it is drilling only that will
find the deposit. Mclean should be
! drilling next week some time. He has
had considerable difficulty in shutting
off a heavy flow of water from above.
This has caused much delay.
The Thompson Oil company in the
Pawoki Lake field is drilling slowly
It is understood that they are now
! down about 1900 feet. A flow of gas
was recently encountered.

in Cat Creek Field
by Close of Winter

Special to The Tribune. ,
Tewistown, Dec. 12.-It seems likely
now that. in spite of the decided set
hack in Cat Creek, due to the con
finued cold weather, as severe as any
hing experienced there since oil was
first found on the Musselshell, that the
total number of producers TO the credle
Of the field will approximate 100 by
the time spring fairly breaks.

nj least as well as the Mid-NortheTn-
Green No. II. which measured ahout
80 barrels the first "A hours, TINS
being flush production. AT the wehs
of the big companies drilling IS gong
on steadily, though slowly, in spite OF
the cold weather.
The very severe weather has forced
a suspension of work at the BIack
Hawk. in the Flatwillow field. With
conditions as they are, it was found I'm
nossibIe to make any sort of salts
factory progress, and much as the
management disliked to suspend it was
found the only practical thing to do
Just as o as the weather changes
sufficiently to justify, the work will
be resumed. But for this intensely
cold weather and the snow. the Biack
Hawk would probably have been drilled
into the Ellis sand in another week OF
so, depending entirely on the thick
ness and nature of the cap rock lorna
ton. which has just been reached.
A contract has been made with th'
