BIG POOL FORMED

Mammoth Oil Company to Hold
100 Per Cent of Rights on
Acreage Turned in.

What promises to be one of the
largest landowners pools of leases in
the Kevin-Sunburst field is that re-
Gently organized under the name of
the Mammoth Oil company. according
to John w. Stanton, of Great Falls,
one of the directors.
Mr.. Stanton, as well as the other
two directors. Thomas s. Clark and
John G. Kiehlbauch of Sweetgrass. and
their associates. are all large land
owners in the district and the several
thousand acres have already been en-
listed.
Under the terms on which the pool
is organized, the land have
turned in 100 per cent of the oil rights
of their lands into the organization
and drilling will be carried on under
the direction of biologists retained by
the company. All land owners in the
company pool will share in the pro-
duction no matter what the location
of the well. Mr.. Stanton said.
No direct drilling activities will be
engaged in by the company, he said.
but either straight contracts for wells
will be made with drilling contractors
or else development will be through
drilling agreements on tracts.
The present acreage in the company
is situated largely in townships Sc

PUMPING WELL
TO GET CRUDE
FOR DRILLING
Operations at Sunburst No. l.
Not Being Carried on as
Test, Says Hager.

Pumping of the Sunburst No. / by
the Ohio Oil company continued
Thursday although slowly due to the
lack Of storage tankage, according to
Dorsey Hager of the Sunburst Oil &
Gas company in a report by telephone
from Shelby.
The pumping is by no means being
made as a test. Mr.. Hager said. but
has served to show that there is no
doubt but that the well will, at the
least calculation, be better than 100
barrels settled production. There is
storage for but a few hundred barrels
at the well, he said. and the pumping
will be merely to keep up with the
demand for crude from drilling opera
tons in the field.
The satisfaction of the Sunburst Of
ficials with the results on the we'll was
further shown by several reports from
the field showing buying and leasing
activity by Sunburst representatives
in the field.

Ely a household pet. Folks is still so
scarce up in this country that there is
still a lively competition among the
skeeter forces that leads to every man
getting his share of attention. Some
times the attacks seem almost organ
lied. No sooner does the first lines
appear, ram a bayonet into yore hide
and leave mankind fainting on a lost
battlefield. than along comes up a sec

Of the returning pest.
The irrigated sections of the Milk
= river valley are beautiful. Around
Chinook, Harlem and Malta / have
never before seen such crops of alfalfa
growing. Some of the farmers are
just beginning to harvest the first hay
: crop. The Glasgow-Wolf Point-Cul-
I bertson country gives promises of the
!: greatest crop of spring grain in years.
The lower Yellowstone irrigated sec
ton looks as if it would have the
greatest crop in it's history.
"Last Monday I drove overland from
Glendive across the divide between the
Yellowstone and Missouri through an
inland section that I had never seen
before. Thirty or 40 miles back from
the Missouri river I found settlements
of real farmers with big red barns and
modern dwellings. This was over in
northern Dawson and eastern McCone
counties.
Hauling 1921 Wheat
Around Richey and Wolf Point the
farmers were busy hauling in the re-
mains of last years wheat crop and
the elevators We're busy receiving last
years wheat. Both at Richey and
Wolf Point they told me that more
than two hundred thousand bushels of
last years wheat crop was being mar
keted this month at about $1.25 a
bushel.
"The one discouraging thing that I
saw was the lack of sufficient num-
Der of cattle and sheep to eat the
over abundant grass crop this year.
In many places they told me that there
was not more than 80 per cent of the
normal number of cattle and sheep in
the country.
UNLESS some unforeseen accident oc-
ours, the state will have the greatest
agricultural crop in its history. This
will bring about more rapid return TO
normal conditions than one might
think. One good crop at fair prices
will liquidate q lot of delinquent taxes
and accumulated store bills and interest
at the banks"
