Special to The Tribune.
LeWistown, Dec. 2o.-The town has
been agog all day with rumors con-
corning the, California company's No. /
well in the Armells district, some SO
miles north of Lewistown, but as usual
the company is giving out no informa-
ton regarding this field. There has
never been any secrecy as to its plans
and work In the north, but from the
first it has maintained the most COM
plete silence 9s to the Armells field,
where it is putting down two wells,
having acquired nearly the whole
structure, or what it's officials consider
worth acquiring.
However, it is positively learned that
a few days ago the tremendous flow
Of gas at No. l well threw debris from
the hole clear over the derrick and
that in the mess was considerable oil.
There seems to be no doubt as to this
much, but the amount of oil has prob
ably been much exaggerated as the
reports have Travelled around.
When the big gas flow was hit in this

been absolutely excluded from the loca-
tion ever since. One very good reason
for this, however, was that the safety

put under control, the pressure was so
enormous that, with further operations,
no n could say just what might hap
pen. Now there is oil in the hole as
well as gas.
Operations at the Arrow Greek well

good. At a depth of 1850 feet a Sec
ond flow of water was struck and the
crank shaft broken, and it is practically
certain that this hole will be abandoned.
Plans are 0 being matured for put
ting down a new we'll on a location that
experience in the field has indicated as
much more favorable for oil than the

Homestake Brings
in Fifteenth Well
in Cat Creek Field

The Homestake Oil company now has
its fifteenth producing well in the Cat
Greek field. according to julius C.
Peters, president of the company.
The fifteenth well was the oldham
No. 8, which came in a few days ago.
The well has a production of from $50
to 300 barrels a day, it was reported.
The Oldham tract. which has wells in
the second sands, is now one of the
big production leases Of the field.

carried right down to the Ellis sand,
where production is expected.

Train Dispatcher q. B. Cornwall of
the Milwaukee has just returned from
a flying trip to Ryegate. He found n
lot of excitement in that section over
the discovery of oil in a well on Six
Shooter creek ia the Lake Basin dis
trict, at a depth of 773 feet. This oil
was found in the Eagle sandstone. this
being the first instance in Montana
where production was secnred In that
formation, although it has been found
in the Eagle in Wyoming. Lease hounds

Fire Chief Sends
Out Fire Warning

The annual fire waste totals, which
have passed the five hundred million
dollar mark, accompanied by sixteen
thousand fatalities and over seven
teen thousand injuries, would seem to
warrant the adoption of heroic mea-
sures to bring about reduction of
this criminal destruction of life and
property, seventy-five percent of
which is acknowledged to be due to
carelessness.
Safety to Christmas Shopper and
the Conservation of Merchandise in
our own city has prompted our Fire
Chief to ask the cooperation of mer-
chants to assist him in doing our part
toward reducing this enormous fire
waste.
He requests that the merchant ar
range to have all packing materials,
waste paper, rubbish, removed from
the store building or burned daily dur
ing the holiday season; that the use
