Plan New Sewer

The Fickery & Hill Publishing Co.
Will tear down the old Mansion House
sewer that runs beneath it's buildings
and will replace it with a sewer of
modern construction at the company's
expense. This proposition of the pub
fishers will be considered by the high
ways and sewers committee of the city
government at a meeting Thursday
evening in City hall A permit for
this work will doubtless be issued
soon that the making of the new
draining system for a matter of about
l20 feet may not interfere with the
erection Of the new press building.
The present sewer has been in oper-
alton for nearly 60 years, and the
Nickery & Hill Co. felt that 1t was de-
sirable to replace it now when the op-

With the coming in of the Neuman
well on section 1882 W. as q good
well in the Kootenai, at 1850 feet, as
the shallowest in the kevin-Sunburst
field, development in the eastern part
of the field is appearing well, accord
ing to Joe Kaufman, who returned
from the field Tuesday.
Oil men now are watching the well
of the Wait Oil company in the neA of
section 1882 W. southwest of the
Sunburst-Zimmerman and northeast OF
the Neuman, being about a half mile
from each well. he said. The thinner
mar had such showing in the kootenai
that oil operators thought it might re-
pay shooting in that horizon and, kauf-
man said, the Wait well is being watch
ed for its bearing in locating what is
thought may prove the main part of
this pool. Should this develop it would
mean a new production in the Sum
burst sand in this part of the field.
The Wait we'll, which is being drilled
by North Dakota and Minnesota busie
ness men, including Nose Zimmerman
and associates of st. Paul. has now
reached 600 feet, Kaufman reported,

EARLY START
IS INDICATED
ON BEARS DEN
Frazer Purchases Last of
Equipment; Rig Is on
Ground.

Early development of the Bears Den
structure in northern Liberty county
is promised in arrangements completed
Tuesday by Kenneth Frazer OF Great
Falls, when the last of needed materials
were sent to location.
Three trucks were busy Tuesday car
rying pipe from Sweet Grass to the
location on the swA seA section IL
36-5 f. The pumping engine is already
in place and will pump a supply of water
$500 feet to the well site. The rig
arrived at Sweet Grass Tuesday, q COM
plete new outfit having been purchased
early in September, but was delayed
in being shipped. The drilling crew
has also been obtained and are at the
camp.
Kenneth Frazer. who is connected
with the smelter in Great Falls, took
over a block of 1850 acres on the
Bears Den late last summer and began
plans at once for operation. He has
associated with him several business
men of Great Falls and Butte. The
acreage is in q solid block of -four sec
tions, with some outlying areas.
The Bears Den structure was passed
upon for Frazer and his associates by
Irving e. Stewart. It is described by
biologists as one of the structures of
northern Montana most nearly resem-
bling those of Wyoming. Easily de
Unable, the dips are said to be sharp
and distinct.
Drilling depths, as anticipated by
Frazer and his associates, will be sim
liar to those of the Kelvin Sunburst
field. Drilling will start about 400 feet
in the Colorado and the Sunburst sand
is expected in the neighborhood of
1,500 or 1900 feet.

Operator Will Discuss Meaning
of Industry at Noon
Luncheon.

What the petroleum industry means
to the United States and its place
among the basic of the coun-
try will be outlined before the Rotary
club at its luncheon meeting this noon
at Hotel Rainbow by Charles f.
Bowles. an authority on the financial
and production phases of the business
and the author of THE Petroleum
Industry"
Bowles recently came to Great Falls
as vice president and general manager
of the Gladys Belle Oil & Refining
company of Montana and has spent a
large part of his time since then in
Great Falls and Helena in gaining
statistical information relative to the
developing petroleum industry in the
United States.
Although he recently has given some
time to writing or business subjects,
and prior to that to lecture work, the
greater part of his time has been de-
voted to supervision of oil develop
ment. He has been with the Gladys
Belle for some time in the Mid
continent fields and has had experience
in southern and California producing
areas.
For his talk before the Rotary club
this noon. he viii use charts that he
has used in lecture work and some of
the data he has gathered since coming
to the state.
