Hidden Spring Is

profitable and pleasant employment.
Italy is particularly interested just
now in two things, the location of pc

and the finding OF water, for the
drought of the past two summers is
said to be but the beginning OF a long
dry spell. To Augusta Del Pho Luogo
is ascribcd the ability to locate the
deposit, within the earth, Of both oil
and water and her successes have
been so remarkable that her services
are being sought by companies inter
ested in oil production and irrigation.
Augusta first noticed her ability
when a child. When walking in the
country she would notice little shocks
passing from her feet to her head,
causing her distinct pain. In 1903
she met a famous water diviner, CHA
brera, and found that his divining
rod acted az well for her as it did for
him. A year later she went to Ar
gentina and, making use Of her pow
ers indicated a number of places
where water would be found. some
times at a depth of 800 feet. In each
case water was found, but in some in
stances it turned out to be salt.
Back in Italy after the war Augusta,
in the presence of two engineers, has
located not only water, but petroleum
and deposits of pyrites. She no longer
uses the divining rod, but a chrome
meter. 1t is said that thus equipped
she can tell with remarkable accuracy
the. depth at which the water will be
discovered, ard whether it is scanty or
abundant.

Russia Is a Land

political crisis in Italy. and the trou-

In the value of the mark, reached the
conclusion that Soviet Russia was the
most tranquil country in the world.
Under the iron hand of the prole-
tartan dictatorship, strikes and dis
turbances such as the cables reported
daily from abroad are impossible in
Russia. So, while their colleagues in
other countries were actively engaged
in reporting wars. strikes and near
revolutionary demonstrations, the
Moscow correspondents found little or
nothing to do. The court trials and
death sentences on the counter-rcvo-
lutionists seemed mild in comparison
with the news coming into Russia.
This tranquility was particularly
surprising to the first French ncwspa-
per correspondents visiting Russia
since the early days Of the revolution.
American newspapers for more than
d year have had direct relations with
Russia, but the French press has oh
tanned its news of Russia by way of
the grapevine" route, printing obvi
GUS fabrications indicating that blood
shed and horrors We're continuous per
formances in every Russian city, even
up to this day.
One French correspondent was so
surprised to find Moscow calm and
even attaining the gaiety of metrOp-
oils-with brilliant cafes, crowded race
courses and flower bedecked parks
and plazas full OF smiling and well
dressed promenaders-that he feared
his Partisan readers, accustomed to
different brand of Russian news,
would not believe what he wrote.

to Drill Well With

The $50 Bill syndicate will drill
Jointly with the Hager-Steyenson com
pany, a new test north of the present
Hager-Stevenson well on Nimy Ridge.
according to AT announcement made
Wednesday.
The well will be located in the middle
of section 9-25-9 Il. The drlllers of
the Hager-Stevenson we'll and the rig
used in that operation will be used on
the new we'll. Van Cregar will also
be in charge of drilling this well. Gre
gar was one of the drillers on the Cor
don Campbell discovery well in the ke-
vin-Sunburst field.
The new location is north of a fault
and depends upon this for a closure, a
condition which is usually considered
favorable by biologists. The test on
this part of the structure is watched
with interest by oil men because of the
fact that it will have a bearing upon
prospects not ony here but in many
structures of this part of the state that
are closed on one side by O fault.
Both of the companies joining in the
test have considerable under lease in
this part Of the structure.
The test we'll will be carried to the
Madison lime if production is not OBJ

day from Usage, Wyo., and will be
moved to the location at once, accord
ing to officers of the company.
The drilling machine is a new type
to Montana fields, a gasoline engine
providing the power for operations and
also traction power for moving the
rig. It will go to the location, il
miles north of Great Falls, under its
own power
The gasoline engine as power is to
be used by the contractors IN order
TO meet conditions on the structure.
since it will cut costs of hauling fuel
and obviate the need of hauling water
suitable for use in the boilers, There
is plenty Of water suitable for drilling,
but little of it could be used in a
steam boiler. ,
Two of the drillers, Lem Beebe and
c. c. Browning, arrived in Great Falls
Wednesday from Usage. Wye. and two
more. Hunter and William Hamilton,
will arrive from Ismay within a few
days.
Officials of the company expect the

Anger of Superintendent Gets
Results With Giant
Charge.

How an oil mans anger at the con-
trariness of oil sands brought IN an oil
well was told by A. NJ. Sellery, land
man of the Ohio Oil company, who was
in Great FANS Wednesday night from
the field.
when the Thront0n we'll was drilled
in b ythe Ohio Sellery tells the story,
'it passed through the horizon of the
GLADYS Belle, which it was offsettlng'
without anything more than "a show
Of oil. 1t didn't look at all ike a well,
and was drilled down to the Madison
and struck water.
zone of the officials left feeling
pretty blue, because 1t sure didn't LOOK
like a well.
.sThe field superintendent became so
heated that he sent for the well shoot
ers and told them to bring every quart
of sour they had and give it all 10 the
hole. Eighty quarts was the supply
on hand and eighty quarts were placed.
When the shot was fired 1t brldged the
well up about 100 feet from the bottom
of the hole. Not a bit of oil came
through and | left for Shelby wiring
the information to the office. Ihe
next morning. the tools were run and
ii was found that there was $50 feet
of oil i'll the we'll.
The we'll had also bridged back ~
to about 500 feet from the bottom Of
the hole. That bridge has not been
cleaned out. but when it is, there
doesn't seem to be any doubt but that
the we'll will fow.
IF it hadn't been that the field SUI
p%erintendent got pretty mad and shot
that hole hard, it might not have been
n well. 1t shows the advantages that
are resulting from shooting the wells
in the field"
The Thornton we'll was drilled Jointly
by the Ohio and Sunburst Oil y Gas
and is a diagonal offset to the GLADYS

Bought by Adolph

Interests of N. E. Beck. former
president and organizer of the Beck
Petroleum company. in that company
have been purchased by +. w. Adolph
of Baynes Lake. B. c., according TO a
report from Shelby.
Adolph has been interested in the
Beck company for some time and was
associated with Beck in the manage
ment of the company's interests. Beck's
withdrawal from the concern was pre-
saged at the last annual meeting of
the stockholders. when Beck resigned
both as president and as director and
Mt that time signified his intention of
leaving the company. Adolph was elect
ed to succeed him.
The Beck Petroleum has about 20
600 acres of leases on the east end
of the field and is now drilling a well
on section 1921 f. OF this. about
10000 acres were checkerboarded with
the GLADYS Belle, that company pur-
chasing 5000 acres in the neighbor-
hood of the we'll being drilled.
The Beck Petroleum was organized
early last summer and the blocking
out of its acreage was under the dl-
rection of Beck.

Quick thinking on the part of the
Ohio Oil company field executives

pany Tuesday night when the Ohio
HALFWAY we'll on section 1885, w
caught fire.
The we'll was almost to the produc-
ton horizon in the Sunburst sand of
the Kootenai. when the usual story of
the driller, the cigarette and the match
was told. The result was usual also,
and the gas flow quickly demonstrated
it's ability to wipe III al oil rig.
Company employees foiied the at
tempt of the fire to burn n good new
machine by sending out a hurry up
call for the truck fleet of the COM
pany, A number responded and were
backed up to the machine as near as
possible. Cables were attached and the
machine was dragged bodily away from
the blazing torch of the escaping gas.
Although the remainder of the rig
was burned, the saving of the machine
resulted in the losssbeing cut to less
than half what would otherwise have
been the case. 1t also will mean sew
eral days less delay in replacing n rig
on the well TO resume drilling.
The well is the fourth to be burned
In the field. In at least two eases,
the cause has been the desire of the
driller to have a smoke and the aptnesS
