Great Falls from the field Tuesday by
Guy Craig, field manager for the Mid

The well was drilled in but a few

PRESENT PLAN
American Refinery's Plant
Will Be Completed in 30
Days, Is Claim.

With the refinery equipment receiv.
ed Sunday now on the location, the
American Refinery company building
north of the river at the Tenth street
bridge had it's crews at work Tuesday
installing the machinery. Completion
of the plant within the next 30 days
and its operation by August /, is now
assured. according to company Off
Gals.
The machinery now on the ground in
cludes the vaporizer. vapor towers and
condenser box and these are being plac-
ed in position on the brick work pre-
pared for them. A crew of men using
jacks and blocks is putting the heavy
condenser box in place in the first
unit of the refinery. The vapor towers
will be placed in position and will then
be connected by welding.
Pumping House Nearly Completed
A large part Of the present activity
at the plant is the grading and con-
.struction Of a 600 foot spur track from
the railway. The rails and ties needed
for this work has been laid out and
much of the grade is already in place.
The pumping house. where electric
pumps will be used. has been completed
WIN tbc ACtptlOH VI Tie TOOl anu the
inclosed driveway in the front which
will be used in loading tank wagons.
Above it are eight excavations for the
1900 barrel run down tanks which will
give a total run down capacity of 49,
200 barrels.
The excavation for the 5000 barrel
storage tank has been made at some
distance to the west of the rest of
the plant. Word received Tuesday by
company officials was that this equip
ment is now well on its way to Great
Falls and should arrive in a few days.
The 5000 barrel storage tank will be
30 feet in diameter and 30 feet high.
100 n. p. Boiler Installed
In fitting out the condenser box. a
mile and a quarter of piping will be
used while a quarter of mile of pipe
will be contained in the still.
In the boiler house, a 100 horse
power boiler has been installed. The
water from the well next to the pump
house be raised to the water tank by
the use of air pressure. a one inch air
pipe being run down into the well.
This method was adopted both because
of the absence of any moving parts in
the well making unnecessary any re-
peated pulling of piping. and because
the action of the air will cool the water
by two OF three degrees.
Officials of the company announced
that not only will the plant be ready to
operate by August 1. but that the 1900
barrel a day supply of crude necessary
for operations has been contracted for.

ALL GLOVES
IN TITLE BOUTS
MADE BYlEX|NS0N
For 30 Years Champions Have
Swung Leather Fashioned
by Coast Maker.

San Francisco, June 27.-Boxing
gloves that have smashed toward OPP
posing jaws in nearly every big cham
pionship fight held within the last 80
years have been made by a San Fran
ciscan. Sol Levinson.
Champions of the past three decades.
in signing fight articles, nearly all
| specified that Levinson's gloves be
used and Levinson has been able to fill
all orders from all parts of the world,
for he has on file here the hand meas
urements of every boxer of note of
every country.
Two of today's title holders, Jack
Dempsey, the heavyweight, and Benny
Leonard, lightweight, use Levinson's
products and Tex Richard, the New
York promoter. orders from the local
man all the gloves used in the Madison
Square Garden bouts. Levinson made
the gloves used when Dempsey fought
Georges Carpenter last summer.
Long in Business
Back before James j. Corbett's time
as champion Levinson was making
gloves. He made them when Frank
Erne fought Joe Cans and Kid Lavigne:
when Cans later met Battling Nelson.
and when Willie Richie fought Ad
Wolgast. When James Jeffries beat
Bob FitzsimmOns, IevinsOn's gloves
were used and when Jack Johnson won
over Jeffries in Nevada his gloves were
used again. The gloves worn by Jess
Willard were the largest ever made by
Levinson, the hand of the big kansan
measuring eleven and one half inches
in circumference.
Jeffries, it is said, failed to use
Levinson's gloves at the time he fought
Gus Rubin and selected a pair picked
up at random from a San Francisco
sporting goods store. In the battle JEFF
fries broke his hand. He blamed the
accident on the gloves and from then
on never used anything except Levin
sons.
Gloves made by Levinson have been
used in big bouts in England, in Aus
tralia. in France and in all parts of
North America. Just recently he re-
ceived a letter from Japan ordering
gloves. During the war thousands of
Levinson's gloves were used by the
army, navy and marine corps.
Secret of Success
Of course, there is a secret to Levin
sons success as a glovemaker and that
is the fact that he makes them right,
and gives them a natural grip that does
not compel the boxers to close their
hands when fighting in order to keep
them on. Before Levinson's gloves
were used boxers fought with cramped
hands and with fists closed to keep the
gloves in position.
Levinson, telling how he started his
lifework. says that years ago when he
was a maker of fancy gloves, he be-
came acquainted with John Harget.
who, as Young Mitchell, was credited
with being the real middleweight cham
pion of his day. although Jack Demp-
sey. the Nonpareil, held the title.
Mitchell. after using the awkward
gloves of those days, suggested to Lev
inson that he make gloves with natural
grips. Levinson worked out the scheme
and obtained patents on the plan. He re-
Gently applied to have the patents re-
newed.

Considered "Wonder Well of America"

ders to his crew in the field to drill
the Mid-Northern in to a depth of IL
feet in the sand, or about six of seven
feet below its present depth. This
work is now under wa. Since the
Tic -Northern's initial flow was even
stronger than the FRantz well, 1t is
expected that it will at least show as
heavy production. with drilling in, as
has the offset well.
No Gas Pressure
The oil found in the second sands IS
of the same high gasoline content as
is that of the first sane of the Cat
Creek field. 1t is without gas pressure,
m3king it unusually easy to handle in
a flowing well, and comes in Il steady
stream. The wells producing at their
early promise have been referred to
as the wonder wells of America. Such
heavy flow, without gas, at Compare
lively low horizons and of such high
gasoline content, is remarkable, accord
ing to oil men.
The report made public by Mr.. Crag
caused considerable excitement among
