Cheyenne, Sept. 16.-The treasury
of Wyoming will soon be swelled by
the payment of $1,5O6, ,6O9O4 in oil
royalties from the federal govern
ment This sum represents oil royal
ties due the state for the fiscal year
ended June 30, last, and is 100000 in
excess of the estimates recently pub
lished. The computed amount to be
certified shortly to the treasury for
is only 371a per cent of
royalties paid Uncle Sam by leasers
Of government lands within the state,
the remaining 621a per cent going to
the revolving fund Of the reclamation
service. The funds derived from these
royalties are distributed as follows:
two per cent to the county in which

versity and so per cent to schools

Browning Indians Give Lease

Browning, Sept 14.-The Blackfeet
tribal council today granted an oil
and gas tribal mining lease consisting
of approximately 4,800 acres to Levi
]. Burd Of Browning, Montana.
1t is understood that John Mans
vile, the millionaire asbestos manu-
facturer and Walter White of the
White Automobile company are back
ing Mr.. Burd in this enterprise
The present plan is to commence
drilling operations Immediately upon
the approval of the lease by the sec
retary Of the interior, with rotary
outfit, and to push the work vigor-
ously to the completion of the first
test hole.
The drilling site has not yet been
made public, but will probably be in
township 35 north, range II west, on
the Milk river onticline. This is the
same structure upon which the Home
stake and the O'Neil wells are now
being drilled.

Ohio Near Shelby
Spuds In Shortly

The most southerly test of the
Toole county oil field to be made in
the northwest of the northwest of sec
ton 6-32-1 west, less than six miles
from Shelby as the crow flies will be
spudded in within a week or ten days.
All material for the derrick, which
will be standard, was hauled to the
location Saturday evening and H. N.
Denny, the well known rig builder,
put a crew of workmen on the derrick
the first of the week. His reputation
for speed is oildom wide and it will be
only a matter of few days before
actual drilling will start and judging
by the speed of such work by the
Ohio company in the northern part of
the field Shelby will have an oil well
at it's very gateway within few
weeks time, if numerous geological
deductions are correct, including the
recent report of the United States
Geological survey.

The California Abel

That the California company's well,
known as the Abel No. 1, 26-35-2 west,
is steadily getting better and pump
ing larger proportion Of oil and less
water is generally credited 1t is be
ing pumped into tank and the water
allowed to drain off, Thursday, when
representative of The Courier was
at the well, a large reservoir was be-
ing excavated for the purpose of saw
ing the water for drilling purposes
A recent test run is said to have re-
suited in the pumping of 375 barrels
of fluid in one day, 55 barrels of
which was oil, it is said. 1t is believed
that both this well and the company
producer on the Morton place, 13-34-2
west, will be connected with the Illi-
nois pipeline in short time. Already
two offsets to the Morton we'll are
under way, the derricks being COM
pleted last week.

The individuals must pool their efforts

rolment by grades is as follows:
Freshman %, Sophomore IA, Juniors
13 and Seniors 13.
The school this year in addition to
the regular course Of study, expects
to support basket ball, track and de-
batting teams, literary society, a
student paper and if possible two glee
clubs, and an orchestra. For the latter
activities competent instructor has
been secured and work will commence
at once.
The student body organized for the
semester with the following officers:
President, Cecil Daley; vice president,
Mae Mallette; yell leader, Irma Gun

Campbell Seeking
Financial Backing

Gordon Campbell, credited with oil
discovery in the local field, and who
has three outfits drilling, is seeking
further financial backing, according
to the Great Falls Leader which re-
Gently carried this story:
Gordon Campbell left Tuesday eve
ming for Minneapolis, where he will
confer with twin city interests rela-
tive to drilling contract upon Syndi-
cate No. acreage, which, if secured,
will be significant of the entry of
Minnesota capital in the Kevin field.
Previous to Campbell's departure,
he conferred Tuesday at Kelvin with
George E. Foster, vice president of
the Fidelity Finance corporation, in
vestment bankers of New York, Chi
cago and Fort Worth.
Negotiations are partially under
way between Mr. Campbell and Mr..
Foster which may lead to the under
writing by the Fidelity Finance COM
pany of the remaining unsold portions
of the Gordon Campbell Kevin Syndi-
cate No 2. Completion of this deal
would indicate the realization by
eastern financial concerns of the i'm
portance of the northern Montana
field.
Should the deal be closed it is like
ly that the Fidelity Finance company
would open offices in Great Falls
which would employ forces similar to
those of other fiscal agencies in the
city.
