Great Falls, Aug. MARTIN ].
Taylor, California operator, has ar
rived in Great Falls and is negotiating
with local parties for offset acreage
in the Sunburst field, having come
from the Pacific coast prepared to
enter the development end of the
game.
He has organized the Sunrise Oil
company, with a capital stock of
100000, at 81 per share. Associated
with him is Charles D. Beasley Of
Fort Worth, Texas, an experienced
oil field operator. Mr.. Beasley was

Interest In Lake Basin

DESPITE new difficulties that have
caused additional delay in the work Of
cleaning out the Barnsdall-Foster wei
interest of the Billings oil men centers
largely on the Lake Basin field, ac-
cording to J. L. Chase, geologist, who
has returned to Great Falls, after g
trip by motor from Billings and Cat
Creek.
The California company and New
York capital will make at least two
tests, MI. Chase said, although the
objective of the New York mon 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
drilling is well under way at 1900
feet, Chase said. Ritter-Lawsol is al
So rigging up for a test on the Walker
Brothers leases, known by them as

the Kootenai formation at a depth of
something over 1900 feet in the Ar

enough gas if utilized to furnish fuel
for the boiler, but preferring to con-
tinue drilling, this will not be done at
present. They are dropping down to

Oil Men Arrive
From the Arctic

Sixteen drillers, tool dressers and
workmen of the Imperial Oil company
arrived in Edmonton recently from
Fort Norman, ending the first chapter
of that company's Arctic Canada adj
venture.
"The sweetest music l ever heard"
said All Ashby, a veteran driller of
the crew, twas that steamboat whistle
when the first boat came down the
Mackenzie river past our camp on
July 2. Oh, boy! that was a lonesome
winter"
The men brought out a varied story
Of winter life in the Canadian Attic.
For the tenderfeet, it was naturally
a tough experience. For the more in
ured, as Lester Morrow, who has just
finished putting in % months at the
Fort Norman wells, last winters ex-
perience was a vacation compared
with the previous one, when he and
William Cleaver stood guard alone in
a tiny cabin near Discovery well.
II Campaign at Norman
The net results of the Imperial
company's campaign in the shadow of
the Arctic circle are as follows:
Well at C. camp on the left bank
Of the Mackenzie river, opposite Dis
covery well, So miles below Fort Nor
man, drilled to a depth of 1,735 feet.
Drilling halted there because the six
inch casing proved too tight a fit for
the tools, and the crew could not pro-
seed without endangering the hole.
Well at Bluefish camp, on the right
bank of the Mackenzie river, 10 miles
below Fort Norman, tied up at 500
feet, through the loss of a string of
Well on Bear Island, originally head
quarters camp, about % feet deep,
delayed by trouble with casing, but
are proceeding, one crew hav-
ng remained on the ground in charge
If Superintendent A. W. Harris. Bear
sland is about two-thirds of the dis
ance across the four mile wide river
opposite discovery well.
At The Discovery Well
Discovery well is still producing a
ew barrels of oil a day. The well
reduced about 200 barrels Of oil dur
ng the winter, not sufficient to furn-
sh fuel for drilling at the other wells.
! large part of the activities Of the
len during the winter months were
to cutting cordwood for the
oilers of the drilling wells. Drilling
rork was suspended from the end of
eptember, 1921, to the end of May,
922, owing to insufficient fuel and
le difficulty Of keeping water lines /,

of food supplies north again this
