PROMISING NEW OIL STRUC-
TURE FOUND NEAR BILLINGS

J. f. Harrison of Columbus arrived
in Billings last week with an excellent
sample of oil recovered from the
Eagle sandstone on the Predmoor
lease, located eight miles northwest of
Billings, on what is known as the Six
Shooter structure. Harrison drilled
this well under his personal supervis-
ion and reports reaching the top of the
sand at III feet and e~neountering 33
feet of ~saturation without a break
The well was shot on Thanksgiving
day by Walters of the Independent
Torpedo company, with 100 quarts of
nitroglycerine, he having DRIVEN from
Casper to perform this work. About
25 people witnessed the shooting, after
which the oil rose in the hole about
200 feet.
Harrison states that the we'll isgood
for about 200 barrels per day and is
of the opinion that the oil is better
than 40 gravity. Samples Of the oil
have been given to the Mutual Oil
company for analysis. This is stated
to be the first commercial we'll drilled
in the Eagle in this part Of the state
tlthough the northern part Of Mon
tana has for some years past had gas
produced from this sand in CONNER
cial quantitise and as a result of this
discovery the early spring viii UNI

The well was financed by Messrs.
Ernest Drew and Harry H. Austin Of
Big Timber; d. C. Hackett, Jos. Aus

ness men of Chilholm, MINI. The
geological work and mapping out of
the structure was done by Russell V.
Johnson of Billings.

On Saturday, Dee. 90, the Little
Belt school house was made the scene
Of a most delightful Christmas pro.
gram followed by a dance packed full
of the seasons cheer and mirth.
The school house, which is not ex-
actly a spacious one, was packed to
the limit, but that interfered not at
all with the good natured folk who
gathered there.
The pupils who had been well d.
rected by their teacher, Miss Agnes
Boyd, certainly did full credit to the
occasion and were literally awarded
by the real live old st. Nick who APP
peared with his huge pack and de-
lighted them. After every one had a
word or two with Santa, the floor was
cleared, the golden mantled tree was
pushed into a corner and dancing BE-
gan and continued far into day break.
This pleasant occasion is one of the
many which Miss Boyd as a commune
