Survey Been Made
MEN FROM CANADA


And still they come! And from
all parts Of the world, north, south,
east and west. A party from Alberta,
Canada, motored here Saturday to
inspect the town and field, and
Judging from the pleased impression
made they will no doubt become
identified in business or financial
way with oil development. The mem
bers of the party were: c. l.. Hatch,
with Liberty Grain company, Will
fred Palmer, of Palmer & O'Brien
L. D. King, with King & Green
garage; and J. d. Spafford, with the

REFUSES AN OFFER
OF $500 PER ACRE

Report current in Great Falls
Saturday was that D. L. Thompson
and company had refused an offer
of $500 per acre and refused to cx-
tend an option at $50 on the tract
a quarter of a mile from the Sum
burst No. one well which, as report
ed in the Courier last week, they
had purchased at $62.50 per acre.
Mr. Thompson president of the COM
pany, who left Kevin last week for
the purchase price, but said that it
was his intention to drill out the
acreage, through his own company,
which has developing and refining
interests in other fields. TIE tract
is in the east half of the southeast
quarter of section 33, township SO
north, range west The entire
east half of the section is held by the
Thompson company.
Purchase of the 80 acre tract was
made in fee, the D. L. Thompson Co..
holding 95 per cent of The royalty
interest in nearby acreage, in ad-
dition to acreage previously takeu.
This tract is virtually the only
nearby acreage that has been sold i'll
the neighborhood Of the new pro-
ducer, virtually all other acreage
being held by the Sunburst Oil and
Gas or by some other large develop
ment company, or by persons who
have temporarily taken their pro
perty off the market.
The D. L. Thompson company has
been active in the field for some time
through j. E. foreman, consulting
engineer, who has represented their
interests.
rhe D. L. Thompson Co., of Col
umbus, Ohio, has purchased 500 ad-
ditional acres in the Kevin-Sunburst
field for $4,000 and is preparing to
develop it's holdings during the pre-
sent summer.
Through J. E. foreman, consult
ing engineer, the Thompson COM
pany bought from James l.. Rookie
Of Kevin 120 acres for 5000 and
from Edward Rookie, also of Kevin,
12O acres for $4,000. James Rocke
is the proprietor Of the Kevin hotel
while his brother has a transfer
business here.
The first two tracts are about two
miles southeast of the discovery well.
The lands are described as follows:
M NWA SWA NWA of section rs;
Sc 4 NEA, 27-35-3W, secured from
Edward Rookie; N " NWA of section
27-35-3W, secured from James L.
Rookie.

Kevin May Have
Water By Aug. l

furnish water for the numerous drill
ing sites in that section, and then
run due east on line between sec
tions 10 and Is, for seven miles,
reaching to a point near the east line
or township 35, range 2 west, ac-
cording to present plans. The first
pipe will be either four or six inches
and with the pressure of 700 feet
elevation from the supply tank on
rim, an enormous amount OF
water will be available.
Kevin to Secure Supply
While not believing the present
volume of water needed by Kevin
would justify a pipe line into town
Mr.. Eulberg and his company have
in mind such line for he thinks
fhe growth of the oil camp will be
'fapid and that it will be but short
time before the towns needs viii
warrant the necessary extension,
Before winter on under grounc
frost proof reservoir will be built
at the springs, insuring supply
during cold weather. The estimated
cost of the project when completed
is $250,000.

HOTEL PROMISED

The Courier is attempting to give
only reliable news and not mere
rumors of what might happen. A
story has been current for some time
that Kevin was to have large and
substantial hotel and no one thing
is needed SO badly at the present
and this newspaper will be pleased
when any such project is assured
An inquiry at the townsite Office
however, elected the information
that while a Spokane firm was con-
sidering the building of hotel here
that nothing definite had been done
The Kevin courier. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1922, 1922-06-20

Kevin-Sunburst syndicate, formerly
known as the Rhoades interests.
