aroused great excitement and by July
1 there were 20 derricks in the field,
although the two wells mentioned had
produced not more than 1000 barrels
of oil.
In May and June a part of the
area was examined by A. ]. Collier
and w. w. Boyer of the United States
geological survey. The results Of
their examination are briefly given be-
low. This examination by no means
covered the entire SWeetgrass arch,
but it did an area measuring
about "a miles from north to south
by Is miles from east to west, which
included the structural feature that
seems to have caused the l~ocalization
of the oil in the Kevin-Sunburst field.
Geography
The field lies in a treeless plain.
North and west of it is a bold escarp-
ment formed by the Virgclle sand

stone. Much of the surface is covered
by gravel and boulders or by lake de-
posts, the result of the invasion Of the
area by glaciers. Attempts at "dry
farming" have been defeated by a sue
cession Of very dry years, in which
the crops have failed, and the houses
of most of these pioneers stand aban-
doned.
There are no permanent streams.
Water for drilling is collected in res
ervoirs made by damming gullies and
canyons, and water for domestic use
is either collected in cisterns or is
brought in by rail. Nearly all the
water obtained from the few shallow
wells that have been sunk is 700 aka
line for domestic use.
Before the first producing well was
brought in the drilling was done with
coal hauled from a mine in the south
side of West Butte, in the Sweetgrass
hills, or with crude oil from Cat Creek
or Wyoming. The fuels now used are
oil and gas from the wells that have
been completed.

carried oil, and for 600 feet the lime.
stone core from the diamond drill
showed assures filled with oil. Tests
with carbon tetrachloride showed the
presence of free oil in the Colorado
shale also, and an odor of petroleum
can be detected on almost every piece
of drill core from the Madison lime
stone.
A showing of oil is reported from
the Colorado shale in the Louis well,
in section IA, T. 35 n, r. 8 w, at
about 700 feet below the surface. Oil
has therefore been found in the Col
orado shale, in two or three horizons
Of the Kootenai, in the Ellis and in
the Madison limestone.
Character Of the Oil
The oil from the Kootenai has a
dark color, an odor like gasoline, and
a gravity Of about 35 degrees Be.
That from the Ellis and Madison is
nearly black, has a sulphur odor, and
a gravity of about 80 degrees Be.
Significance of Occurrence
The discovery Of oil in the coinpar-
atively ~lat-lying strata Of the Sweet
grass arch shows that sharp anticlin-
al folds are not absolutely essential
for the accumulation Of oil in the
Rocky mountains. There can remain
no doubt that gentle folds, such as
those that yield oil in the mid-Con-
tinent region, should be examined,
particularly for oil in strata older
than Cretaceous.
If the Kelvin Sunburst area proves
to be an extensive and valuable oil
field, regions of similar structure in
Montana should be thoroughly pros
pected. Probably the Bowdoin dome,
in Valley and Phillips counties offers
conditions more like those on the
Sweetgrass than occur elsewhere in
Montana. The Porcupine dome, in
Rosebud county, is another uplift of
the same general type as the Bowdoin
and S~weetgrass uplifts, although it is
much smaller than either.

Stratigraphy


The formations in the field are des.
cribed below in the order in which
they occur, beginning with the mos
recently formed beds.
Glacial Drift-The drift consists Of
sand, boulders and clay, and in some
places a thickness of 200 feet. II
covers the surface SO completely that
little of the underlying rock can be
seen.
Virgelle Sandstone-The Virgelle
sandstone, of Upper Cretaceous age,
is about 200 feet thick. 1t is hard
and c~ross-bedded. The formation is
not found within the field but forms
a prominent escarpment or "rim" on
the north and west.
Colorado Shale-The Colorado shale
of Upper Cretaceous age, is about
1850 feet thick. Practically all the
wells now being drilled in the field
start on the Colorado shale, which is
the lowest formation exposed there.
The details of its character are of
peculiar interest to the ~geologist, for
his conclusions about the structure of
the field are based upon work done
with certain beds in this formation.
The upper part Of the formation
consists of shale containing many fos-
siliferous concretions of light gray
limestone. About $50 feet below the
top is a sandy layer about so feet
thick, in the upper part of which is a
thin layer that contains small pebbles
of black ebert. The pebble layer is
commonly about a quarter of an inch
thick, and associated with it in many
places are thin layers of sandstone
containing fish scales. This bed has
been found on the north, west, and
south sides Of the field, but not on the
east side.
Below this sandy layer is 800 feet
of blue-black shale containing zones
of concretions. A zone of lime con
~cretions about so feet below the peb-
BILE band shows the dip of the beds
very satisfactorily in at least three
widely separated localities. In the
east of Kelvin and along the
railroad between Kelvin and Aloe the
dip of the beds below this zone of lime
concretions can be determined by
means of clay ironstone c%oncretions.
About $50 feet below the pebble
band is a sandy shale consisting of al
t~ernating layers of thin wavy shale
and hard sandstone, which the pros
p%ectors in this region call the Now
ry shale, although it has not the ap-
.pearance of the typical Mowry shale.
The core Of the Big West well, bored
with a diamond drill, shows that this
member is about so feet thick. The
beds are exposed on Raglan butte, in
section 10, T. SO N, R 2 W., and south
IF the Troy-Sweetgrass well, in Sec
ion Fl, T. SO N, R 1 w. Near the
base of this member is a c~onglomerate
rom two inches to one foot thick,
which contains small pebbles some
What similar to those in the upper
,and of pebbles. s
The remainder of the Colorado shale
consists of blue and brown shale, thin
ayers of bentonite and sandstone. A

With Ample Funds
Fowler Oil Well
Resumes Operations

Fowler, Sept. 12.-The recommend
ing of drilling operations at the Fow-
Ter Oil & Gas company location north
of here is welcome news to the farm
ers here as well as oil enthusiasts in
general. To c.. H. Drake, the energetic
superintendent, goes the appreciation
of all land holders here and every
where. A carload of coal, as the first
move in an effort to snap out the
lethargy into which the development
of the field has fallen, was unloaded
at Fowler the last of the week, and
all efforts will be put forth to ex-
pedite the bit on its way to the pay
sand.
Whiteside Gets In
Hon. Fred Whiteside of Kalispell
but more recently of the Wyoming
field, has purchased a large amount
of leases surrounding Devon and in a
recent interview announced his inten-
ton of sinking two test wells on the
Devon structure in the near future.
MI. Whiteside will finance his own
development work and his advent
marks a new scene of activity in the
Devon locality.
