Will Finish Test
at Buffalo Dome
in Next Few Days

Developments are expected within
the next few days at Buffalo Dome,
near Buffalo, the drillers of the Buff

to the field. The cement bridge set
to shut off the water in the upper
water sand has had five weeks to set
and casing will be placed on this and
the water mudded off. When drilling
is resumed, the company expects to
have a good wei in the sand below.
Since production in this "a is esti-
mated at Is barrels and the depth is
only 500 feet, it is regarded as a good

CARTER ENTERS
KREMLIN FIELD:
$4,000 DEAL
Negotiations Take Acreage in
Kevin-Sunburst Ter
rit0ry.

Entry of the Carter Oil companv in
the Kremlin field was announced
Wednesday with the closing of a deal
with the Kremlin Petroleum COMPANY
whereby the Carter begins immediate
drilling. The deal, as announced bv
H.. ]. Skinner. secretary-treasurer. also
includes choice acreage in the Kelvin
Sunburst field. While the considera-
ton was not maze public, it was IN
derstood to be in the ~neighborhood Of
$4,000 in cash payment.

the Kremlin company ch~eckerboards
5000 acres on the lower part of the
kremlin structure, the Carter acre
age being 1900 acres. The Carter will
Immediately set up a standard rig on
the southwest quarter of section 1922
II s., 10 miles west of Havre, where
a pit is already dug and other prep
arations made for drilling. This loca-
ton is about two and a half miles south
of the present kremlin No. | well. The
No. l well is being drilled with a dia-
mond drill and has been making salts
factory Roadway, although with the
slowness characteristic Of the diamond
drill at depth.
The Kelvin Sunburst acreage taker
by the Carter in the deal is described
as 100 acres in section 1882 w. a
mile south of the Sunburst No. / well,
1t is near the drilling activities of the
Midnorthern on the Dawson-Merkle
tract in section 1852 w. The Krem-
lin retains a 80 per cent royalty in
the quarter section. The acreage was
taken by the Kremlin from the Home
stake Exploration company in trade for
Klemlin leases. The Homestake OBJ

with the kalispell- Kelvin syndicate on
a sliding scale royalty basis.
Drilling activity on the kremlin

Protest by veazey

Protest by veazey
l. Parker Veazey, Jr., of Great Falls,
general counsel for the Great Northern,
protested that Mr.. Haugen had not
followed the same system in arriving
at the valuation of the Great North
ern as he had used in figuring the
Northern Pacific. He felt the Great
Northern was being Disseminated
against and that it's valuation should
not be placed in excess of $75,OOO,O 600.
Mr.. Haugen explained that a difference
in conditions prevented him using the
same method with both systems.
Mr.. Dudley. tax commissioner for
the Milwaukee railway. protested
against the several methods which had
been utilized in arriving at the valua-
ton of that cOmpany's property, stating
that cost of reproduction had nothing
to do with commercial values and that
capitalization of earnings could not be
depended upon. He said it was abso-
lutely impossible to capitalize the Mil
waukee's net earnings in the past be-
cause they do not represent the pro-
spective net earnings of that company.
In the case of that system he said
that the only method would be to take
the stock and bond values for a single
year, and brought out those of 1921 as
the proper basis. these placing the
value of the system at 1917 100000.
However, in the case of the Milwaukee.
he claimed that was too high and he
proposed that $3.50, 600. 1000 be taken as
the basis of the value of the entire
system. Taking the various factors OF
gross earnings. all-track mileage. car
and locomotive mileage. revenue train
mileage and traffic units for a four
year period. he said Montana would
be entitled to 1915 per cent of the
total. or S44. 100 900. Taking gross
earnings as a basis Montana would
have $4S,n2O. 200, or taking an average
of three of the main factors would give
the state $50. 1:s1.OOO of the whole. He
the board that in the last
five-year period, after paying taxes.
the earnings of the system were but
S6,666.419 per year. or less than two
per cent on a valuation of $3.50. OO0.OO.
while in the past four-year period they
had been but $3.50 900 per year on
less than | per cent on that valuation.
Compares With Other States.
r. ID. Pollard of Omaha. represent
ing the Burlington system. protested
that the proposed assessment of 81
245. 900 against the Burlington was an
of more than 10 per cent over
the assessment Of 1921. $6.56S,OOO.
He said the assessment of 1921 was
S:4. 142 per mile in Montana. in spite
of the fact that it had only a short
of track in the state and that in
Big Horn county. which it traverses.
6S per cent of its mileage was on the
Crow reservation where there was
practically no revenues. He said the
Montana assessment was S19.SO per
mile greater than the company's assess
ment in Iowa and that it was higher
in most of the other states in
the company operates. He said
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-08-17

that in 1921 the taxes upon its mileage
in Nebraska was STA per mile, in
Kansas $470, in Wyoming $500. in
South Dakota $662 and in Montana it
vas SLOT.
No action was taken by the board
upon any of the railroad assessments
and the protests of the "a commits
sioners and the figures they submitted
were taken under advisement to be
passed upon later.
Floyd Williams of Tacoma, repre-
senting the Milwaukee, appeared in
support of appeals as to the local as
sessments against Milwaukee electric
s%ub-stations in several counties. H.
S. Neal. assessor of Deer Lodge county.
appeared upon the same matter. In
Deer Lodge county the commissioners
had raised the assessment from $S4,-
600 to $1O1, 900. while the engineers
of the company had fixed the value of
each of the seven sub-stations in Mon
tana at $4,000. Mr.. Haugen was of
the opinion these stations were parts
of the unit value of the system and
should not be assessed locally. The
was taken under consideration
and q date for hearing will be set later
when the matter will be taken up as
bearing on the different counties in
which these stations are located.

RISE OF WATER
CASTS SHADOW
0NCALIFORNIA
Bailer Finds ESQ feet Oh on
Top 1000 Feet of
Moisture.

Ball1ng OF the California company
well on section 26-35-2 w. Wednesday
afternoon showed that of the 1.25O feet
of liquid in the hole, $50 feet was oil
and 1000 feet was water, according
to reports from Shelby Wednesday
night. There were conflicting reports
as to whether the water was coming
from above the oil or from the same
sand and practical oil men seemed to
unite in the belief that further drilling
may bring better results.
The drilling was stopped when only
three feet in the sand in the top Of
the Ellis, at 1,5OO feet, a point reached
early Wednesday morning, when break
operations impossible. The rapid rise
of liquid at that time and the only
bailer run carrying oil. caused great
excitement in Shelby and was reflected
in Great Falls. Drilling will be resumed
today and oil men were optimistic re-
garding possible developments.
Resembles Harmon on
The water is said to be a black.
sulphur water and the oil is said to be
the same in quality as that obtained
in the Ohio c%ompany's Harmon well on

and oil. a good flow of gas was obtain
ed although the water and oil stand
ing in the hole made it difficult to
estimate this.

to hazard a guess as to developments.
All united in saying that only con-
tinued drilling will show the true status
of the we'll.
Sharing the interest with which per-
sons interested in fhe northern fields
will watch the developments at the
well in section 1882 w,

from the oil sand, with the oil on top
of it. oil men interpret it to mean
the well may be on the edge of a
