California Smoke
Brought in Tuesday

The California-Smoke, in sec

production Tuesday afternoon at
a depth of 1920 feet. The oil
sand was struck at a depth Of
1410 feet and drilling ten feet
further the production was brot
in. Mr.. Hale, field manager for
this company reported Wednes-
day morning that there was 500
feet of oil standing in the casing.
The exact production of this
we'll cannot be estimatee at this
tim e, but from all indications
the Smoke will prove one of the
big wells of the field.

Great Northern TO
Drill Near kevin

The Great Northern right of
way through Kevin is considered
potential oil land. but there
seems to be some diversity of
opinion as to whether the Great
Northern in obtaining their
right of way, succeeded to the
mineral rights. If this is proven
out that they have, there is no
doubt but that the company will
become one of the producers of
the Kevin field. This question
will be decided at Washington in
a short time, and if decided fav-
orably to the Great Northern,
the company will Immediately
begin drilling operations. The
company is now using many oil
burners on the mountain divisions.

Minneapolis Papers
Won't Print News

1t is quite GENERALLY known
that the Minneapolis papers will
not print any oil news of the
kevin-Sunburst field. 1t is not
known just why they take this
attitude. The whole of Montana
is sending money to Minneapolis
by the thousands daily. The ex-
press and parcel post trucks are
weighted down every night in
the Minneapolis station, with
merchandise for Montana, daily
the freight trains carry "a car
loads OF merchandise out of Min
neapois for Montana. Thousands
of dollars worth of Minneapolis
machinery is now in the Kevin-
Sunburst field. Thousand more
of the funds of Minneapolis ad-
vertisers, are being invested in
Kevin-Sunburst, and why this
attitude one cannot tell. With
the refinery possibilities offered
Minneapolis, and with Williston,
North Dakota, up on her toes
after it, it would seem that the
icy chill of h Minneapolis
papers, would soon melt, and re-
alize what Minneapolis has right
up in her back yard. There are
a few in the Twin Cities who
have grasped the significance of
the Kevin field, and are laying
plans to be the profiters thereby.
To develop a field of the size Of
Kevin-Sunburst takes money so
Why not Minneapolis jump in,
where the money is, and be the
orofiter thereby. Montana tor
years has poured out her wealth
to the Twin Cities, now is a time
to show a little appreciation, and
send some of that money back
here, and take part n the
great development of this won
lerful industry, oil.

Shooting Wells
Bring in the Oil

The Ohio-Thonrton No. 2 well
on section 17-35-2-w, diagonal
offset to the Gladys-Belle was
shot last week, which resulted
in bringing in good production
where only showings Of oil were
found.
The bringing in of the Thorn
ton wellmarks the twenty-fourth
producing oil we'll in the Kevin-
Sunburst field. In addition, there
are four wells of gas production
of Importance. the Ohio-Berg,
Ohio-Sinden, Ohio-Barr and the
Louis.
Of the wells that have been
effectively shot. the Homestake-
Riebe, the Sunburst-Zimmerman
the Gladys-Belle- e-Fryberger and
several Of the Ohio-Sunburst
wells in the northern part of the
field are examples. In each case
of the shooting Of the wells has
increased the flow Of oil. In the
case Of the Homestake-Riebe and
the Thornton well. there have
been but little better than show
ings Of oil when shooting made
good wells.
The shooting of wells is yet
under difficulties, as all of the nj
troglycerin must be transported
by automobile from Wyoming
fields and shooters brought from
Casper have done the work. II
the principle Of shooting wells is
followed, as it now appears may
often be the case, it is thought

Twin Cities Waking Up

The Twin cities are gradually
waking up to the fact that the
Kevin field offers them an OPP
portunity not only for invest
ment therein, but the further
fact that the Great Northern is
interested in getting the long
haul for the crude to the Twin
Cities, and not into Canada.
Parties are now looking over the
prospects for the location Of
refinery at Minneapolis, and no
doubt this will be worked out
satisfactorily, with such force
as the Great Northern behind it.

Dance-Baskef Social
Was a Grand Success

The big Dance, basket social
and program held at the Coed
dertz hall last Friday evening
proved to be one of the sensation
al entertainments Of the season.
The program rendered by the
school children, under the dir
ection Of their teacher, Miss
RIDDEN. was never equalled in
this city, each child proved them
selves to be stars. After the pro-
CRANE the hall was Immediately
cleared and dancing was engag-
ed in until a late hour when the
basket social took place. Each
basket sold for neat sum.
Miss RIDDEN, teacher, seemed to
carry away the honors of the
evening as her basket was pur-
chased at the price of $4,000.
The staging of this event nett
ed the school the neat sum of
$4,000 which will be used for
the purchase of a Phonogoaph.
Miss RIDDEN and all who took
part in this event are to be COM
mended for the excellent way in
which this program was render
ed, and the people of Kevin are
to be commended for the splen-
did patronage that was given.

Ohio Oil Company The
Bandit of Standard Oil

! article of the Oil Fields Bulletin
under date November 9th. 1t is
we'll worth reading by all inde-
pendent oil men, and particular
ly by the citizenry of Montana
1t is the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. What
difference does it make what the
Ohio Oil company sells its crude
to the pipe line for, it is a part
of Standard Oil, and the steal all
goes into the same pot. The fill
ing Of the storage tank with 49,
600 barrel just once, means that
the Illinois Pipe Line, another
part of Standard Oil has stolen
$4,000 which drills four of the
Ohio wells. There are now sew
enteen producers in this field
owned by the Standard Oil group
and if it is true as set out in an
article during the past summer
in the Montana Oil Journal that
the net cost of drilling a we'll in
the Kevin-Sunburst field is $1O,-
600, the filling Of this tank four
times will have resulted in
steal by the Standard Oil group
sufficient to absorb the entire
drilling cost Of these seventeen
wells. The continuous propa-
gonda that goes out is, not to do
anything about these matters un-
til the industry is firmly estab-
lished. The fact of the matter
is that it is frmlyacstablished in
Montana, apd it isshiA tisae that,
something is being done to throt-
tie this great octopus, Standard
Oil before it throttles the state
of Montana and likewise the oil
industry.
The article from the Bulletin
follows:
Pursuing it's Investigations in
to the attempt of the Ohio Oil
company to establish a thieyish-
ly low price for the crude oil pro-
duced by the wells Of the Kelvin
Sunburst oil fields, the Oil Fields
Bulletin herewith offers undenia-
BILE facts in proof of its charges.
No amount of quibbling nor of
outright lying will break the
force of the facts as herein set
out.
1T is a well-worth fact that
the Standard Oil refinery at Re-
gina, Canada, has been shipping
in hugue quantities of crude oil
from the Salt Creek field in Wy
oming, the cars going through
Montana to Canada by way of
the Great Northern from Shelby
to Sweetgrass, and thence to des-
5ination. This oil has gone by
the location of the Illinois Pipe
inc company's loading r a k
near Sunburst.
I'm reply to an inquiry from
The Bulletin the Montana Rail
.oad Commission states that the
freight rate on crude oil from
Casper, Wyoming, to Regina,
Canada, is $1.554 per barrel. The
posted field price for Salt Creek
crude is zoe per barrel; there is
also to be added the pipe line
charge from the Salt Creek field
o the loading racks at Casper. {
all costs the aggregate
paid by the Standard Oil refinery
or Salt Creek crude is approx
nately So. 40 per barrel. ]
"The cost of $2.40 per barrel I
should be the price basis for Ke-
vin-Sunburst crude oil. Deduct !
ng the freight from the Sun
,urst loading rack to Regina j
would reduce the $2.40 to point {
lhove $500 per barrel. On the s
,asis of Salt Creek crude this
should be the field price for the
rude oil of the north fields.
"That is, presuming that the
wo oils were Of like value for
he purpose of refining into gas
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1922-11-23

products. But Salt Creek crude
is of much lower value fer refin-
ing purposes than the oil Of the
north fields.
"The average of the north field
crude is about 80 gravity, while
that of the Salt Creek field is less
by 8 to 10 degrees. In the Cali
fornia fields the ruling price of
crude is ten cents for each per-
centage above 26 degrees. The
difference in favor Of the Kelvin
Sunburst crude as against that
of Salt. Greek should, therefore,
add from 80 cents to $1.00 per
barrel to the $500 shown to be
the actual value Of the oil for re-
fning purposes and as evidenced
by the price being paid by the
Standard Oil refinery in Canada.
THAT is to say, the Standard
Refinery at Regina could afford
to pay So so to $500 per barrel
for Kevin-Sunburst crude SO long
as it is paving zoe per barrel at
the wells in the Salt Creek field.
in the November number of
the Worlds Work one Of the
country's best and most author
itative magazines Edw. E. Slos-
son writes entertainingly and in
formatively upon the subject of
gasoline and the big part it is
playing in the worlds wonderful
progress. In the article Mr..
Slosson makes a statement that
is both interesting and pertinent
to the present discussion of the
real value of the Keyin-Sunburst |
field. lie writes:
Crude oil is now made to
give on the average 28.5 per cent
Of gasoline and this amounts to
54.4 per cent Of the entire value
Of it's products"
Here, then, is proof of the
of the contention of
the Oil Fields Bulletin, that the
gasoline content of the
Kevin-Sdnburst crude oil entities

The crude oil of the Salt Creek
ield in Wyoming. Inasmuch as
gasoline constitutes 54.4 per cent
# the whole value Of crude pc

many more gallons Of gasoline

NBy every rule of business
airness the price of Kevin-Sun-
,urst crude should be more than
[ouble the price sought to be es- :
ablished by the black flag pirate

'ly vicious Ohio Oil company. !
In this connection an inter-
sting side-light is thrown upon J
his subject matter by the fact {
hat the Ohio Oil company crooks t
re using the American Refinery {
ompany crooks to establish the
DC field price for Kevin-Sun-

tructiveness is on foot. The
