DRILLS RESUME

Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lethbridge, Alta, Sept. 23,-After
considerable delay. due to a flow of
water causing a ~cavein, the Mclean
and Baalim wells at the border have
resumed drilling. The Mclean well
is down over 100 feet, while the
Baalim drillers have their bit down to
a 1,550-foot level. Both crews en-
countered water at the same time, and
both had to lower casing, Mclean
S-inch and Baalim 10-inch. 1t is be-
lieyed that the oil sands on the Cana
dian end of the Sweet Grass arch will
not be reached within 1900 feet.
The finding of water veins in the
1000 and 1900 foot levels, while
making the drilling more costly, has
not checked the enthusiasm of the OPP
orators. On the contrary, a second
issue of stock in the Mclean company
was soon oversubscribed.
Expect Deeper Sands
The belief that the pay sands will
be reached somewhere around 2,0OC
to 1900 feet is borne out by the opin-
ion of biologists who have studied the
logs of wells on both sides Of the Dor
der and who claim there is a dip of 4s
feet to the mile in the general struc-
ture of the arch. AS it is slightly over
II miles from the Alberta border to
the Sunburst producer, this would
make $40 feet farther to drill at the
Mclean well than at the Sunburst
well. The Sunburst got production al
1861 feet.
Work has been resumed on the
Somerville well in 2-1-15, where a
derrick has been erected for the han
ding of casing, made necessary by the
known existence of heavy water veins
New Companies Launched
Ira B. Segur and e. p. Howard.
California oil operators. the former a.
one time interested in the Grand Trunk
well on the border, will shortly launch
a syndicate for the sinking of q well in
the southern field. They have acre
age, a standard drill and a crew in
sight. Mr.. Segur, who was n of the
original operators in the Bakersfield
Cal, oil field lis convinced that some
good wells will be brought in in south
ern Alberta.
Two new oil companies have been
gazetted in the Alberta Gazette and
are proceeding toward actual develop
ment at the border field. They are
the Alberta-Sweet Grass Oils, Ltd.
head office Calgary, with William Liv-
ingstone, Calgary, president; the Can
ada Montana Oils, Ltd, capital $780,
600, head office, Raymond, and the
Many Islands Oil and Gas company
head office, Medicine Hat.

Many Rigs Ready
to Start Activity
in Northern Field

Activity in the southern end of the
Kelvin Sunburst field shows promise
with several rigs either ~spudded in or
being moved on the ground, according
to NJ. Z. Beck, president of the Beck
Petroleum corporation, who was IN the
city Saturday on a business visit.
Among the operations that are COM
handing interest OF the south and east
flanks of the Gas Ridge anticline are
the Beck well on section 1S-23-4E, the
Spokane-Sweetgrass on section 27-33-
wv and the Ohio on section 6-32-1W,
all of which have been spudded in. l..
Lily for the Montana-Sweetgrass has
completed his rig on section 1-32-W
and the rig on the operations Of Hale
and associates on section 27-32-1E is
ON the ground.
The Embar Drilling company, which
took over a number of leases recently
through John Sommers. is moving a
Star machine on the location four miles
north of Devon, about eight miles west
of the Beck operations.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, Sept. 23.-The Mutual
Oil company, which owns the Frantz,
possesses five $4,000 barrel tanks at
Winnett and in the Cat Greek field,
and these, with its other large tanks,
gives it a total tankage of close to
5000 0O barrels for handling Cat Greek
crude. 1t has now given a contract
to w. r. Maxwell and Company OF
Casper. for the erection of a number
of additional large tanks and this is
taken as indicating the purpose of this
big concern to carry on a large cam
paign of development in the field
throughout the coming winter. 1t is
likely that by next spring most of the
Mutual's holdings will be drilled to the
second sand and it may then be ready
to make a real test of the third sand.

Extract From Record

ter in which reference is made as
follows:
Extract From Record
"The boards activities and parti-
cipation in the investigation of the
general level of freight rates in in
terstate commerce commission docket
No. 1928 were rewarded by a uni
form reduction of 10 per cent on
practically all classes of freight, eff
fective July L, 1922. We are ex-
tremely gratified with the results.
We realize that the general public
does not understand freight rates,
but in order that any one may know
the result of this Investigation, the
following comparison of advances
and reductions in freight rates in the
various groups are submitted, from
which it will be noted that Montana
has Jared admirably throughout the
entire transaction.
Southern and Mountain-Pacific
group, advanced September 1, 1920,
25 per cent; reduced July 1, 1922, SO
per cent of previous advance.
Inter-territorial group, advanced
33 1-3 per cent, reduced 40 per cent
of previous advance.
Western group, advanced 35 per
cent, reduced 38 IL per cent of pre-
vious advance.
Eastern group, advanced 40 per
cent, reduced 35 per cent of previous
advance.
Montana Reduction, so Per Cent
The Mountain-Pacific group in
cludes Montana, and it will be seen
that the advance in rates effective
September 1, 1920, in that group,
was the lowest of any of the groups
comprising the entire country, while
the reduction of July 1, 1922, was
the greater in the Montana section
than in any other district.
1t should be understood that the
reduction in Montana, which really
amounts to 10 per cent of the rates
in effect prior to July 1, 1922, applies
to all freight whether moving be-
tween points within the state or to
Or from interstate destinations. The
saving thus accruing to the public can
only be Appropriated, but applying
this to the total freight of
all carriers operating in Montana for
the calendar year 1921, the people
have been relieved of the payment
of an annual sum for the transporta-
tion of freight of $5,46O,614.63,
which figures are based exclusively
on Montana earnings of the railroads.

CHINOOK WILL SELL AIRPLANE

On December q an airplane sale

While airplane sales are not OF
