is now at a depth of 525 feet and Joe
Baker announced that it will be rushed
to completion. Two gas sands have been
encountered in drilling to this depth
and Baker said that he is confident of
getting a large producer.
The deal was a three-party contract
closed by Joe Baker as president Of
the Joe Baker, Incorporated; J. H.
Hamilton of the Holding & Royalty.
and 10y J. Molumby of the Molumby
company. representing IL associates.

by the Baker syndicate. the NhNEA
of the SWL of section 11-15-29, part
of the So Petroleum corporations orig
inal holdings.

of the first who realized that Cat
Creek was a real oil field. He secured
the lease on the 320-acre Richard hide
tract in section 11-15-29. took it to
Miles City, organized the IS Petroleum
corporation on the lease and made the
largest success yet recorded in the
history of Montana oil development.

OIL SURPLUS
IS GROWING,
SAYS D0NNELL
Ohio President Declares Pro.
ducers Would Welcome
More Automobiles.

1.-THE talk we once heard Of the
danger of the world RAINING out of
gasoline for all Of the automobiles
would be music to the ears Of the oil
man now said ". f. Donnell. pres
ident of the Ohio OIL company. who
stopped in Great Falls Saturday on
a motor trip through Montana that
will include a couple of days in the
northern fields.
There was a time" said Donnell.
when everyone was pretty much wor-
ried about what we were going to use
to run all Of these automobiles. Peo-
pie began to think that we would have
so many pretty quick that we wouldn't
have n gasoline for them. Well,
just now they needn't worry. unfor-
tunately. In fact. it would please us
oil men considerably if they'd build a
few more.
Production Increases
Frankly. at this time we have all
the oil we can handle. We have a re-
serve of some 267. 100000 barrels and
every month is adding about 5000. 600
Or 100000 to the surplus. It is
expensive material to hold. We are
hoping that this situation will be tenn
porary. 1t isn't a slump in consump-
non. but rather a squirt In production.
They've been opening up new fields and
the old ones are holding up better than
had been anticipated. A few years ago
we had a lean period in petroleum pro-
duction. and we've been looking for
another one ever since.
Development will continue and
fields will be opened. These fields up
north are well located in a part of the
country that has no other fields and
are attractive for that reason"
1t is Donnelrs first visit to northern
and he expressed his pleasure
In the fine crops that the country
promises to have. He said that his
visit to the state has been a great sur
prise to him and thai he had not an
ticipated that the country would show
the development in many ways that it
has.
Hurley With Party
Accompanying Donnell were several
of the Ohio. including F. r.
Hurley. vice president. Hurley said
the plans of the Ohio in the north
ern fields were for continued develop
ment. They will establish good winter
camps and, unless climatic conditions
too severe and roads too bad,
will be carried on on it's
acreage throughout the winter. John
MacFaddyen, field manager, was also
in the party.

TOWN WINS FIGHT
To MAKE RAILWAY
BUILD S|DETRACK
Commission Orders Northern
Pacific to Construct Spur
to Nibbe.
fTribune's Helena Bureau,

Helena. Aug. 19.-After q fight Of
several years. during which the matter
has several times been before vhe Mon
tana railroad commission and relief
once granted by it, the little town of
Nibbe, in Yellowstone county. is final
ly to have a sidetrack to be built by
the Northern Pacific railway.
The town was laid out several years
ago by J. Henry Nibbe of Billings. who
applied for an industrial spur before
there was any semblancep of a town. not
a building having been erected on the
townsite. His petition was then do
MED by the railroad commission but
since that time, in 1920 and 1921. sew
eral structures were erected. including
a grain elevator put up by the Midland
Elevator company. which was financed
by the sale of stock to about 500 farm
ers of that section.
After the erection of this elevator
the railroad commission ordered the
construction of a spur track from the
Northern Pacific main line to the eleva-
tor. a distance of about 600 feet, and
work was started under an agreement
that the cost should be shared by the
railroad and by Nibbe. When about
800 feet of the track had been built a
dispute arose over the cost and work
was suspended. In the meantime all
grain handled through the elevator had
to be hauled over by wagon from the
elevator to the stub of the spur track
at a considerable extra expense.
Another petition was filed with the
railroad commission in which ii is cs-
timated there are 5000 bushels of
wheat in the Nibbe section to be mar
keted this year. Hearing was held
July IA and has resulted in an order
directing the Northern Pacific to extend
its spur on or before Sept. S. 1922. to
a point beyond the elevator. being IN

i'm THE WORLD OF SPORT
Wind Stops Game
of Baseball Between
Two Oil Companies

An inter-oil championship baseball
game between Mutual and Continental
Oil company teams was called in the
last half of the fourth inning Satur-
day afternoon on account of wind and
rain. The Mutual team was leading
by a s to 3 score when the game was
called.
The game was fast and well played
during the four innings, both teams
hitting well and fielding clearly. The
Mutual team seemed to have the edge
in hitting and had the game gone for
nine innings would probably have won
by a considerable margin, but this the
Continental lads deny, saying that
theirs is a mileage style of playing and
claiming that they get better in the
later innings. AS the game failed to
go for five innings it was declared no
game and bets were off.
1t was started in regular league
fashion. Manager J. E. Hult of the Mu-
tual company tossing the first ball to-
ward the plate. Marvin Wallace UNI

TWO DRILLS0N
WAY TO SANDS
IN WEST DOME
A. C.. Nj. Plans to Deepen Pres.
ent Producers to Second
Formation.

Lewistown. Aug. 19.-The West
Dome company, known as the A. c. M.
Syndicate, has started the drilling Of
two new wells on its west dome pro-
perry in Cat Creek, the drilling being
done by the Mid Northern, which has
had charge of its producing wells since
last fall. In addition to this, the West
Dome will put all of its producing wells
down to the second sand. so that in a
few weeks it is certain to have a lot
of production from hat formation.
This campaign of development was
presaged when George NJ. Fowler, the
Anaconda geologist, visited the field
early last week.
With the completion Thursday and
Friday of the four new wells from the
second sand. the SO Petroleum. Catlett
and Green IL and IS. hte field has a
total Of 81 producing wells. II of these
being from the second sand. The sue
cess of the last four wells, each hav-
ing production on the pump of not less
than 700 barrels, will considerably in
crease the general activity. especially
around sections 9, II and IA. In sec
ton IL. the new syndicate that took
over the Mcdonald location is now
putting down a well with a rotary and
the new Joe B. Baker company will
shortly drill upon it's old location,
secured from the original tract of the
SO Petroleum. The Hanson
it is understood. is about ready to spud
in there also.
The management Of the Musselshell
Valley company is considering putting
down a we'll on its holdings in sec
ton 0. This company has funds enough
on hand to complete a well and the
stockholders appear to be strongly in
favor Of drilling.
The Peerless Oil, a company pro
NOTED by Winnett men and financed
largely by Minnesota capital. is rigging
up at the old Republic we'll on Brush
creek TO carry the hole down to at
least LOO feet. the biologists believ-
ing that production may be obtained
there. The well is now down over
| 800 feet.
The Metropolitan Oil company. at a
meeting here recently. took up the
of drilling to the second sand
in a Cat Creek. the company having
failed to get production in the first
sand. Ernest Cornwell. secretary, who
came over from Great Falls to attend
the meeting. is very confident of sue
cess if the hole is carried to the lower
and his view is shared by
all of the directors.
