MINERS LIFE Is
SAVED BY RABBIT
REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF
LONE MINER WORKING IN
HILLS NEAR HELENA
Caught in Cave-in and Buried, Ties
Fishline to Rabbit Buried With
Him; Rabbit Digs Way Out to Sur
face and Attracts Attention of
Rescuers.

Robert MacDougall of Indiana
polls recently visited a mine near
Helena in which he had a remark
able experience years ago. He was
caught in a caye-in and buried alive.
A rock projecting in the shaft pro-
tected him from the falling debris.
A rabbit was caught in the fall and
captured by MacDougall. He tied a
fish line about the rabbits neck and
turned it loose. The rabbit finally
climbed to the surface, where it's
struggles against the line attracted
the attention of passersby, and led
to the discovery of MacDougaIIs pre-
dicament, and his release. Mac
Dougalls version of the incident is
as follows:
81 had an interest in silver mine
which had been sunk to depth of
SO feet and was at work one day
when storm broke. Not five min
utes after the storm broke, streak
of lightning shattered a tree and
caused cave-in, burying me alive.
Fortunately for me an overhanging
rock protected the place where I
was working and when the debris
from the top hit the bottom, suf-
fered no injury. The bombardment
caused the rock over my head to
shake, but fortunately it was not dis
lodged.
you can imagine my feelings bet
ter than I can describe them when I
found myself buried alive. There was
could do to release myself.
There was plenty of air coming in
the loosely packed rock, but
I knew if relief did not come from
the outside must die. No one knew

when the we'll was blowing out in
heads.
The Hogan we'll is owned princi-
Ipally by Senator T. S. Hogan of Bill
lings, we'll known operator in many
of the fields of the state He arriv-
ed in the Keyin-Sunburst field and
obtained important holdings early in
the summer and started drilling OPP
erations on the present location soon
after. Associated with him are the
Dox-Beauvais company of Minnea-
polls, and Jack Decker and Will
Richards, Cat Greek and Soap Creek
operators. Decker was on the ground
the time the we'll came in.
The first showings were found in
the Hogan well October Is, when the
drill was found covered with oil when
withdrawn. The bailer was run and
the oil was found to rise a consider
able distance in the well when big
cave in the 500 feet of open hole
shut off the oil largely. The 10
inch casing was then at $50 feet.
The eight-inch casing was landed
on the cap rock and the hole cleaned,
the oil being bailed to the bottom,
showing that the sand had not been
actually opened up when the first
oil came.
The we'll is located half mile west
of the Neuman we'll in section 90
35-2 w. and about mile southwest
of the urst-Zimmerman in the
same section. 1t is a mile north of
the California-Able we'll in section
26 about four miles southeast of the
Gladys Belle in section Is and three
miles southeast of the Mid-Northern
in section 8.
The coming in of the we'll at 1875
feet, several feet higher than had
been anticipated, has puzzled oil men
somewhat. Some say that it is a new
horizon, while others explain it on
a theory of thickening of the sands |
Some say it is III the bottom of the |
Kootenai and others that it is the |
Ellis. That it is easily the best well |
in the field and opens up consider
able anticipation of the possibilities
of the area between it and the Mid
Northern and Gladys Belle, as yet |
INFESTED, all oil men of the field
agree. The Illinois pipe line is not |
far distant, and it is expected that
it will be connected up at once

license clerk right in the eye, and
answered the necessary questions,
while her prospective husband, blush

10 Wells Good the First One Would Yield Fabulous

Aside from its single producing well, which
has tapped the rich second sands and is pro-
ducing 300 barrels of oil per day, the inside
age of the Golden West is undeveloped But
this well proves the property. 1t also proves
the existence of the rich second sands under the
Golden West holdings, and demonstrates, in my
Judgment, that Golden West will become another
big producer with the completion of additional
wells The character of its oil is most encour-
aging While the market price of Cat Creek
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1922-11-03

In my judgment Golden West stock is the
best of the Cat Creek offerings. Here follow my
reasons: There are only three independent oil
companies, after the Standard Oil, holding any
considerable acreage in the inside proven acre
age of Cat Creek. They are the Homestake, So
Petroleum and Golden West. The Homestake,
with less than 100000 two years ago, has de-
veloped a property worth perhaps $3,000,000.

PHYSICIAN FIGHTS
BOOZE OFFICIALS
DIR. DAN DONOHUE BRINGING
SUIT AGAINST PROHIBITION
OFFICERS
Permit to Issue Prescriptions for
Liquor Was Revoked and Butte
Doctor Has Carried the Matter to
the Courts to Determine His Legal
Rights.

Dynamite Dan Donohue, head o
the state board of health, and th'
federal prohibition enforcement or
ganization have clashed.
Recently the enforcement officer!
withdrew DR.. Donohue's permit en-
titling him to write prescriptions fol
liquor.
Now the doctor has brought suit
against the enforcement officers. In
this suit he seeks to have the order
depriving him of his right to pres
cribe liquor withdrawn. He names
as defendants o. H. P. Shelley, form
er prohibition director of the. state
Carl Cameron, legal advisor of the
prohibition department, and John
Metcalf, who succeeded Shelley, are
named as defendants.
The permit to issue prescriptions
for liquor was revoked from DR..
Donohue August IL by director Met
calf, following a hearing last June
before Mr.. Cameron. The legal right
of the prohibition department to re-
oke permits before taking the case to
court will be decided by the verdict
in this case.
The case has proved of no little
interest to physicians throughout the
state who are engaged in issuing Ii
quor prescriptions. Under the Vol
steal act physician, upon applica-
ton, is allowed book containing 100
permits every three months. Should
his book have been exhausted he is
still given the legal privilege of is
suing what is known as an emer-
gency prescription.
DR.. Donohue was accused by the
prohibition officers of having written
too many emergency" prescriptions
and his permit was revoked.
He was accused of issuing pres
criptions in bad faith and in excess
of the number allowed him. He was
further charged with having made
false entries on his records by using
bogus names as to the persons to
whom he was alleged to have given
prescriptions.
DR.. Donohue appeared before Mr..
ameron June 10, and challenged his
right to conduct a hearing. Mr..
Cameron overruled the motion, also
a motion to quash the proceedings.
The defense then refused to proceed |
with its evidence, and required Mr.. |
Cameron to bring forth his proof |
of guilt. a.
Mr.. Cameron replied that the bur-
den of proof was with the defense, |
that he did not have to prove DR..
Donohue guilty, but that the doctor
must prove himself innocent. The
case being of the nature of quasi
judicial procedure, Mr.. Cameron or
dered the physician to proceed with
his testimony, but DR.. Donohue,
prompted by his attorneys, again re-
fused.
The hearing was declared closed
by Mr.. Cameron, and two days after
Mr.. Metcalf assumed office as prohi-
bition director, DR.. Donohue's per-
NIT to issue liquor prescriptions was
revoked.

ed attention early and he was elect
ed secretary of state the year that
the fusion of the populists and
democrats swept Governor Robert
B. Smith and his ticket into power.
While Hogan was serving as Sec
rotary of state he studied law, and
when he went out of office was adj
mitted to the bar and began prac-
tice, locating in Billings. In few
years he built up profitable prac-
tice and was elected state senator
from Yellowstone county. He be-
came interested in the Soap Creek
oil development of three years ago,
and brought in one OF the first
producing wells i'm that district.
He and his associates went into
the Kevin-Sunburst field early, ac-
quired considerable acreage, and
the first well they drilled is cred
tied with a flush production of
from 500 to 1000 barrels daily,
being the sensation of the new
northern field. The story of the
coming in of this new well follows:
With an initial production that &c
lipses any other well in the field and
is estimated at from 500 to 1000
barrels flow on flush production, the
Hogan we'll in sw IA sw IA section
22-35-2 W. virtually drilled itself in
at noon one day recently, according
to reports from the field. The well
was drilled but eight inches in to
the sand, drilling depth of 1,435
feet.
When eight-inch casing was set
on the cap rock and the hole cleaned
out, the drill was sunk eight inches
into the sand, hardly having adjust
ed the screw before the crew quit
to go to lunch. The men had just
reached the bunk house when the
we'll blew itself in, according to re-
ports telephoned from the field by L..
G. Stevenson, who arrived at the well
a few minutes later.
During the half hour that Steven
son was at the we'll, the oil, coming
with head of gas, shot high over
The crown block four times. Be-
tween these times it was flowing over
he casing most of the time, he said.
After blowing out, the oil would be
owered and during the last few feet
If the rise in the casing, it could be
seen rising at the rate of almost a
loot a second in the eight-inch cas-
ng, he reported.
Borrowing Tankage
A head was placed on the casing
With 21a inch connection and the
low was sufficient to force out all
he oil the ~ inch pipe would take
Ill of the time. There are two $50
'arrel tanks on the location and
lam is being thrown up for an emer-
sency reservoir, Stevenson said. The
owners of the we'll made a hurried
rip to Shelby to arrange for addi-
ional tankage, while the Sunburst
will loan two 500-barrel tanks.
Stevenson said that the production
appears to be of the best grade of
light green oil yet obtained in the
ield. Examination of the sand show
ID sand of good texture.
Stevenson made a conservative es-
innate that the we'll will be of 500
barrels day flush production on
IS present flow, to settle to flow

mates that varied from 500 barrels |

crude is $120 per barrel, Golden West oil is
selling at $500, eighty cents over the ordinary
price. What if we should bring in 10 producing
wells, as we have every reason to hope for, and
each of these wells should prove 300 barrel
producer? That would be 5000 barrels of oil
per day. At 81 per barrel this oil would sell for
$4,000 per day, or $4,000 per month, or well
over 100000 annually. And we have room
on our 80 acres of inside Cat Creek land for
from 10 to 20 wells.
