Hansen Reports That Prices
Are Soaring in North
State Field.

Bailing of oil at the Three in One
we'll, drilling on the southeast corner
of section 1851 W., will be begun
today if indications apparent Monday
night materialize, according to word
%telephoned to his Great Falls assocl-
ates by r, w. Hansen. The announce

found in Mondays drilling, all members
of the company feeling optimistic over
the outlook for a commercial we'll.
Mr.. Hansen stated that as a conse-
quence of developments in the field dur
ing the last week, royalties and leases
are soaring in price. Figures placed
on different tracts a week ago were
trebled in quotations made in the field
Monday. he said, with the chances
favoring even further advances
The showings in the Three in One
we'll were encountered at between LOO
and 1900 feet and completion is ex-
pected at around 1,4OO feet. Mr.. Han
sen stated. The well is located five
miles southeast of the Sunburst pro-
Queer and is approximately 14O feet

FROM u. S. FORESTS
Increase in Receipts Shown in
Review by Federal
Department.

More than $4,000 more will be
turned back to county treasures OF
Montana. Idaho and eastern Washing
ton this year than last as the result OF
the increased national forest receipts
for the fiscal year ending June 80
according to statistics received by A
Weholt, assistant supervisor OF the
jefferson national forest. Of the re
ceipts Of the Jefferson national forest
S4.1OS.19, or % per cent of the gross
income, will be returned to the coun'
ties in which the forest is situated.
Another direct return to the counties
IN which are situated the national for
est reserves of district No. l is that al
additional 10 per cent of the gross re
ceipts is turned over for road building
This means hat a total Of S63,4S3.3:
is included in the 10 per cent refunt
for 1922 as compared with the SAT

counties as compared with 81 .643.2s
in 1921.
According to the United States for
est service, this increase of over Sloo,
600 in the total gross receipts for tn
district may be considered as reflectinf
the growth Of industry in the lnlanc
Empire. The total receipts from Tho
timber sale amounted TO $500, az az

Unable to Control
Gas Flow in Well
on Bowdoin Dome

A flow of gas so strong that no
means has yet been discovered of shut
ting it off was struck last week in
the Cabbage well on the Bowdoin
structure, near Saco, according to
word brought to Great Falls Monday
by ]. NJ. Bailey of the Glasgow Cour-
Ter. The gas was reached at 4S0 feet
and has continued without reduction
in volume since it first was encoun-
tered.
Drilling in the we'll of the Glasgow
Exploration company. II miles south
west of Glasgow. has been under way
since last week. The hole now is down
100 feet and progressing without inter
ruption. Mr.. Bailey stated. Among
those interested in the company are
DIR. Mark u. Hoyt. Henry Carpenter,
Albert Nelson and II. A. Yoder.

News Of State Oil Fields
DRILLING HALTED
BY LOUIS COMPANY
TPRESENT DEPTH
Large Gas Flow Will Be Com.
mercialized in Field for
Operations.

With production increased to but
four or five barrels daily by shooting,
the Louis well. in the southeast corner
Of section 14-35-3 W.. near Kelvin, will
not Immediately be further developed
for oil, it was announced in Great Falls
Monday by r. z. Jackson, a director
of the company. after returning from
the field. The hole is IN good condi-
ton and will be preserved as it now
stands pending the maturing Of the
company's plans.
With the exception OF the Barr well,
there perhaps is no well in the north
field that exceeds the gas production OF
the Louis. and the flow will be com
mercialized in the kevin-Sunburst ter
ritory, Mr.. Jackson stated. The gas
flow is estimated at not less than 800
900 feet and will be used for fuel by
three or four miles from the Camp
bell discovery. but the log shows it to
be some so feet higher. Oil men say
| that the difference in horizons may &C.
count for the absence of oil, there per-
haps being gas at this location where
there was oil in the Campbell well.
"A report widely, circulated in Great
Falls Monday was that development of
the Louis well would not Immediately
be continued because Of the effects OF
the shot" said Mr.. Jackson, but there
was absolutely no truth in the rumor.
The hole is in good shape and any re-
port to the contrary is unjust both to
the drillers and the shooters.
There appears to be no sand at the
point where drilling was stopped. the
formation being an iron-like lime. Forty
quarts of nitro was used in shooting
the well. but the hole opened up was
sufficient only to permit the accumu-
lation of four or five barrels of oil a
day. ! would say that the we'll is A

CITY POWER PLANT

Half Dozen Southeastern Montana Points to Be
Lighted; 100000 Acres Will Be Re-
claimed, Leighton Plan.

public service commission has fixed
the rates.
Has 100 Feet SpiIiway
The project provides for a lowhead
system, the dam to be 1900 feet from
bank to bank of the river, with q spill
way of LOO feet. The height of the
dam, over all, will be 4S feet. The
plant will have a capacity of 11,4M
horsepower or approximately 1905
kilowatts. The current will be deliv-
cred to the local power companies al
their switchboards at a wholesale rate
from transmission lines belonging to the
power project which will extend from
Forsyth to Glendive, Mr.. Leighton
says. In addition to current sold to
the power companies, current also will
be sold to the Milwaukee railway for
use in its shops at Miles City and to
the Northern Pacific for use in its
shops at Glendive.
The other big use to which the cleo
trio power from the project will be
put will be in operating centrifugal
pumps which will left the water from
the Yellowstone river for irrigation at
many points in the valley between For
syth and Glendive, Mr.. Leighton points
out. The tracts are isolated and range
from 40 acres to 1000 acres in area,
totaling 100000 acres. Though II
comprises some of the best land in the
valley, nothing but sagebrush is grow
ing on it now, he says.
Average Lift so Feet
The average lift to be made for the
tracts will be so feet. says Mr.. Leigh
ton. the highest initial cost an acre for
any of the tracts will be SO. and the
annual charge for water delivery Will
be less than 81 - acre.
The Northern Pacific railway and
the Milwaukee railway. both systems
traversing the project. are interested
in it's development. Mr.. Leighton ex-
meets that the Northern Pacific will
actively participate in colonizing the
area when the power plant is com
pleted. 1t is proposed to have farms
no larger than so acres.
