Structure.

Lewistown, Aug. 3.-That the Vel
Winnctt. is to be the scene of the next
real active operations in Fergus
tvs progression of oil development is
indicated by the aggressive scramble
for leases now in progress in that
promising field.
There are at least four separate
representative companies in the Vel
low Water section at the present time
securing leases. aud from the induce
ments being offered in the way of
quick action, several rigs will be oper-
ating there within the next so days.
Prominent among those who are Sc
curing leases in the Yellow Water is
{. X. Hopkins, who represents Mark
Sands. trustee. of Chicago. and who
is attorney for and extensively inter
ested in the Gasoline Corporation com
pany of that city. This concern is
said to be prominent manufacturers
of the Windy city and manufacture
special topping plants. One of the
land owners in the Yellow Water who
gave a lease to Mr.. Hopkins yesterday
stated that the lease calls for the de-
post in the Winnett State bank on or
before September ;. $4,000 for drill
ing purposes. The lease also calls
for drilling operations to begin on or
before October l.. The location of the
first well is e be on lot -. section

BILLINGS HAS
EYE ON LAKE
BASIN DISTRICT
Ritter-Lawson Work Resumed;
Rigging Up to Test
Walker Leases.

Despite new difficulties that have
caused additional delay in the work of
cleaning out the Barnsdall- Foster well.
interest of the Billings oil men centers
largely on the Lake Basin field. ac-
cording to J. l.. Chase, g%eoIogist, who
has returned to Great Falls. after
a trip by motor from Billings and Cat
Creek.
The California company and New
York capital will make at least two
tests, Mr.. Chase said. although the
objective of the New York men will be
the Eagle. where they expect the
easy drilling to make the small wells
a commercial proposition.
Work on the Ritter-Lawson well at
BrOadview has been resumed and drill
ing is well under way at 1900 feet.
Chase said. Ritter-Lawson is also rig
ging up for a test on the Walker
Brothers leases, known by them as the
christensen property. and also as the
Creek structure of Cat Creek.
The Observation-Disclosures well. abandoned
at 1000 feet. lies three miles west,
while the Golden West well. not on
this structure, is II miles west.

opment of the Potter Basin oil field in
northern Park county is assured by

ing the holdings of the Potter Basin

ONE Of STATES
BEST ORE ZONES
Mines in County Now Producing
Considerable Tonnage of
Shipping Ore.
Special to The Tribune.

Butte. Aug. 3.-The Neihart mining
camp in Cascade county is n big ore
bearing zone that is producing consid-
cradle tonnage Of shipping ore at the
present time. The camp was a much
larger producer some time ago.. and
then followed a cessation Of activity
until about a year ago. Now there are
several mines operating there, among
them being the Gait & Peabody. These
two properties are under lease to John
W. Farrell who was in Helena this
week with three cars of ore.
The ore is a silver-lead product and
run high. Samples sent to the East
Helena smelter gave returns under as
say of 16S ounces of silver and IL per
cent lead. During the operations of Mr..
Farrell, which has been continuous for
the past two years. he has mined and
shipped 80 cars of ore. The Gait mine
is an old property, which is largely
owned in stock by Montana people.
Since it has been leased to Mr.. Farrell.
he has opened and extended n tunnel a
distance of 400 feet. The vertical
depth is less than $50 feet, but the
lead, which is about 10 feet wide. car
reis q streak of ore which is from
eight inches to three feet in width. The
remaining seven feet of gangue assays
on an average six ounces of silver to
the ton.

Inspection Reveals
Seed Alfalfa Fields
in Excellent Shape
Snecial to The Tribune.

'lfSNio ~
Malta, Aug. Six fields of regis
tered Grimm alfalfa. grown by Phillips
county farmers under the supervision
of the county agents office, were in
spected recently by F. E. Price, repre-
sentative of Montana State college and
the Montana Seed Growers associa-
ton. Under the rules Of the seed
growers association. inspection of reg
istered fields is an annual requirement.
Seed produced from these fields is
certified by the seed growers associa-
ton and sold as certified Grimm alfal-
IA. Except in a few cases of damage
from grasshoppers and a trace of
sweet clover. the fields were pro-
nounced by Mr.. Price as in excellent
condition. Farmers owning them are
exerting every effort to keep foreign
growths from the fields and they are
confident that the Milk river valley is
destined to become an important al
falfa seed producing section.
Farmers cooperating in the good
seed movement are G. F.. Taylor, Dan
Garrison, F. III. Breiphol. William III.

WELL SHOOTING
DELAYED Until
CASING RAISED
Crowd at Homestake Rig Makes
Dangerous Presence of.
Explosive.

Shooting of the Homestake Explora-
ton company well on section 3d. w.
Thursday, due to the request of the
well shooters that the casing be raised
200 feet before the shot is placed.
This work was under way Thursday
and it was expected that the shooting
of the well will take place today. An
other factor in the delay of operations
is reported to have been the great
crowds of oil men and of curious resi-
dents of the district. who flocked to
the well to see it shot. The danger
of premature explosion of the nitro
glycerin in such a crowd of persons
said to have. in part, influenced Of
ficers of the company in postpOnlng
operations.
The Sinden we'll of the Ohio Oil COM
pany on section 1852 w. was report
ed to be in the top of the sane of the
first horizon Thursday. making slow
progress. The flow of gas was said
to be of strength similar to that Of the
Ohio-Sunburst- Barr on section 3d.
W. 1t has the anne strong smell of
gasoline that distinguishes the other
well and leads many oil men who have
visited the rig to believe that it will
prove a good proposition on a com
pressOr.
The Ohio-Hannon well on section
26-36-2 w. is still fishing for tools.
The w. NJ. Fulton well. which. ru-
NOR had it. was drilling Thursday. is
still un~derreaming and carrying casing.
The casing is expected to be placed on
the bottom of the hole by today and
drilling will be resumed. 1t is expected
to drill in about Sunday or Monday.
The California company's well on
section 1892 W. is now down $50
feet in a black sand shale and making
good Roadway. Its well on section
26-352 W. is held up waiting casing,
which is now being hauled.
The Sunburst-Suhr well on section
1O-34-2 w. is now down about 1000
feet and is running casing.
1t is reported in Shelby that II rigs
are now gathering north of the line for
drilling operations on Canadian gov
eminent lenses. Most Of these Oper-
atoms are planned for holdings in the
quarantine reserve just north of Sweet
grass, where 90-day leases t-ken under
locations on each section, must
be drilled in short order to be
held.

gregate $1O1. 80 per month.
Havre follows with no municipal
phones but with four commercial
switchboards serving 172 stations upon
which the charge should be $96.4O per
month.
Anaconda is shown to have free

Helena. Aug. 3.-For the relief of
the farmers of northeastern Montana
who are greatly in need of help for
the harvesting of their grain crops. men
have already been started to Montana
and others will follow, according to
a telegram received Thursday by c. D.
Greenfield. director of the division of
labor and publicity of the state depart
ment of agriculture. The telegram,
sent from Fargo, n. D.. by George E.

reau. reads:
Have already started some men to
Montana and am putting full force to
work on your problem. DO not let
your folks get panicky. Men will come
along soon. / expect to be able to
supply your needs
Mr.. Greenfield states that in re-
Spouse to advertisements published by
his department in coast papers a large
number of inquiries have been received
regarding wages and conditions. One
inquirer. representing a construction
force of 30, said all were going to
leave their work and come to Montana.
Another man, accompanied by his three
sons, was In me OI1lce OF me depart
ment Thursday. having arrived from
the Flathead on his way to the Judith
basin.
A member of a party of four called
I'D from Butte. having arrived there
from Ogden. and was advised to 60 to
Lewistown. The idea Of the depart
ment is to use men coming from the
west in those sections of the state
which are not being looked after by the
federal farm labor bureau.
In response to the advertisements
published on the coast. inquiries have
been received from a large number of
steam and gas engineers. a few separa-
tor men and some truck drivers so
that employers desiring these classes
of men can get in touch with them
through the state department of agri-
culture.

County Agent Says
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Havre, Aug. 3.-Louis A. Camp
bell, Hill county agent, has been
investigating the grasshopper stu.
atom for the last few weeks and
states that the grasshoppers have
become parasitized In this county.
A small fly, known as tho sarco-
phagus, Of a gray notified color and
about the size Of a small horsefly,
has been discovered. These flies
lay eggs on the grasshoppers near
the large legs. The eggs hatch al
most as 500 as laid, and the larvae
enter the body and ultimately kill
the grasshopper. These flies have
been found near Goidstone, in the
mountains, and at the Assfnnih0ine
station.
A small red mite which thrives
In the circuIatory juices Of the
grasshopper Is also being studied by
Mr.. Campbell. Large numbers Of
these mites have already been killed.
Another parasite. the blister
beetle, has been found in large mum.
bers in the county this year also.
These beetles are long and slender
with shiny, black or green heads
and wings. The blister beetle does
almost as much damage as the
grasshoppers to garden crops and
bushy trees, however, but they are
easily controlled by arsenate OF lead
or paris green.
