Campbell Dividends

A Kevenite was recently in
Minneapolis where he met many
of the unit-holders of the Camp
bell interests, all of whom had
just received their first dividend
checks. An amusing incident in
connection with this matter, was
that only two or three days be-
fore this, Twin City parties
answering an advertisement of a
certain Montana concern, who
were offering Campbell units for
$4,000 was wired to reserve for
them and they would remit.
They could not deliver, the offer
was increased to $4,000 and
they could not deliver at that
figure. Enough said.

Pipe Line

Recently at a meeting of a
number of business men of Min
neapolis all of whom are inter-
ested in the Kevin field, it was
pointed out and suggasted, that
it might be possible to finance a
pipe line to connect up the indep-
endents centering on Keyin. The
Campbell, Hogan a n d Black
Magic as well as other indepen-
dents that are sure to be in pro-
duction, could easily interest
capital in the Twin Cities to this
end. when it was assured that
there W as production behind
them to maintain such line.
There is yet time and the sug-
gestion ought to be taken advan-
tage of and worked out to sue
cessful end.

Montana Publicity Bureau

At q recent meeting Of the
membership of the Montana Pub
licity Bureau held at the Nankin
Cafe in Minneapolis, Kevin had
it's representative there to sing
the praises of the Kevin oil field
and the possibilities of Kevin.
Because of the huge operations
of the Campbell Syndicate's and
the recent drilling to production
of its big Lincoln we'll, Kevin
has enjoyed renewed publicity.
Now that the large producers
are coming in right up against
Kevin, it was pointed out by
others at this meeting that the
Campbell Lincoln we'll exceeded
in production all of the IL Ohio
company wells combined, which
is something for the Kevin field.
The Hogon well just east of
Kevin it was remarked was a
75O barreler.

New Location

During the prst week, while
the Ohio company was not de-
nying' that the Berg we'll was a
duster, they and the California
company were scouting all over
the Twin Cities and Fargo, N.
Dakota, trying to get in touch
with owners of land or leases in
the vicinity of the Berg we'll.
1t was in conversation with one
of these owners that one of these
solicitors let the matter be known
that the Ohio company had just
spotted a new location, the same
being the SE4SE4 section 36-33-
3 W., being just northwest of
Shelby. This is an interesting
piece Of information, and a very
valuable one for drylanders in
that vicinity.

we'll SHOWING
GOOD PROMISE.
Drillers Sink Casing Through
Ten Feet Of Sand;
Strike Flow

The Wait Oil company we'll in
section 24-35-2-w., was brought
in the first of the week at
depth of 1,485 feet, production
was found in the Ellis and the
oil raised over 500 feet in the hole
in the first half hour. There was
a heavy flow of gas from the
well, according to reports, the
gas blowing the tools half way
up the hole aud making lowering
of the bailer difficult.
1t was only about 18 days ago
that this well was spudded in by
j. w. Elliot, who has the drill
ing contract. This we'll is con-
sidered by oil men to be as good
as any in that part of the field.

ure of the Anaconda company to
get oil years ago. and investors
would not listen to putting a

ferant now. Daily almost men
are here looking over the chances
and large numbers of them are
from Spokane. There has been

Another Fat Dividend
Check for $50" Boys

Stock holders Of the Fifty-Six
Petroleum corporation are this
week spending a 60 per cent div
idend, the twenty-frst paid since
January 3, 1921. Monthly divi-
dends of 25 per cent suddenly
leap to so per cent when second

company has eight producing
wells in Car Creek and the ninth
drilling on proven ground.
Fifty-Six Petroleum, organized
by Joe Baker, has paid 450 per
cent dividends in % months. The
first was New Years present
of 25 per cent paid on January 3.
1921. A monthly dividend of at
least 10 per cent has been the
rule ever since.

35-3 W., and are now busily en-
gagged in perfecting arrange

of this tract. This adds another

Ohio Berg Strikes
Big Flow Of Gas

The Ohio-Berg well in section
6-32-1 W. north of Shelby, regis
tered a flow of 100000 cubic
feet Of wet gas day when plac-
ed on the gauge. This undoubt-
edly is the greatest pressure of
any gas we'll in the state. This
well will be conserved as a gas
we'll as the gas is considered
valuable for field use as we'll as
for fuel and lights for Shelby
and possibly other towns near
by. It is understood that the
Ohio people will begin at once to
lay gas mains from the Berg
we'll to Shelby.
The securing of commercial
production in this we'll gives a
wonderful enlargement to the
Kevin Oil field to the south, as it
is about fourteen miles south of
the Gordon Campbell discovery
well. This discovery gives COM
mercial oil production to five
townships in the Kevin-Sunburst
field, and possibilities are un-
limited, the year 1923 will stagg-
er the oil worlds records as this
is without a doubt the largest
proven oil field in the world.
This we'll was drilled 81 feet
into the Kootenai sand, all gas
bearing each foot adding to the
gas flow. The Ellis sand where
production was expected, are less
than 200 feet below.
The Ohio-Berg derreck IS be-
ing moved to new location IN
the SWA SWA of section b, also
on the Berg ranch.
