Forest Fires
Build No
Homes

Every year forest fires in the
United States destroy or dam
age timber of sufficient amount
to build five room houses for the
entire population of a city of
300, 600 to 500, 900 inhabitants.
Every year forest fires de-
stroy improved property of sufi-
cient value to build another l.
900 such houses.
Every year forest fires burn
an area equivalent to 10-mile
strip reaching from New York
City to Denver; and an area
more than eight times the acre
age of the French forests de.
stroyed or damaged during the
World War.
More forest fires occurred in
1921 than during any previous
year of record, but, owing to
improved methods of detection
and extinguishment, the area
burned over was below the ave-
rage in extent. Notwithstand-
ing abnormal drought, public
carelessness was chiefly t o
blame.
Clearly the American public
still lacks appreciation of it's
great natural heritage. AS a
people priding ourselves on our
practical outlook, the market
value of our timberlands in yield
ing lumber for building and
other purposes must be appar-
ent.
There is, however, another
side to be considered. What
would America be like shorn of
the great beauty of wide stretch
es OF woodland? How barren,
shriyelled, utterly desolate, and,
finally uninhabitable it would be-
come!
Yet to our shame we continue
negllgently to burn faster than
we can reforest. Totally to e.
liminate forest fires is scarcely
possible. Lightning will always
cause a limited number. But
the blaze that results from hu-
man agency can be effectuallv
prevented.
oome Improvement In the cit
uatlon is reported by Individual
states. Most of this improve
ment, however, is traceable 70
the rigid enforcement of police
powers and to more effective
hre-hghtlng methods, rather
than to public cooperation.
How much more encouraging it
will be when improvement from
year to year can be directly as
crlbed to an awakened public
conscience determined to end
this criminal waste.

RANCHER GETS S62
PER ACRE FOR LAND

Sidney Rounsley, rancher located
east of the Sunburst Oil & Gas Co. s
first producer, was a happy man last
week after it became known that the
new well was real one. In con-
versation with Courier reporter on
the train last Thursday Mr., Rouns-
ley stated that he had given an op-
tiOn to Great Falls concern on 800
acres for $4,000 with reservation
of four per cent royalty to himself.
He then figured that the option was
good as sale, and was making plans
to dispose of his personal property
and move to the state of Washing
ton. A report from Great Falls a
few hours later confined his believe
and stated that the Rounsley tract
had been sold for $62.50 per acre to
Ohio, oil men.

THREE-IN-ON TO DRILL
NIGHT AND DAY FOR OIL

The Three-in-One Oil company re-
sumed operations Thursday, follow
ing the arrival of a new string OF
pipe, which has been placed in the
hole. During the wait, the company
installed lighting system, which
will allow drilling night and day.
A Reed roller bit has been ordered
which will insure speedI 7rilling.
There is every probability, it is
stated, that the Three-in-One will
record the next completion in the
field, at any rate in the east end of
the field. 1t is now regarded as a
very important well, giving an idea
as to the extent of the pool on the
southeast end of the Kevin-Sunburst
area.
The location pit has been dug for
the No. 2 well, on the Kearns so
acre tract, near the Campbell well.
A second rotary drill has been order
ed and will be put in operation as
quickly as possible, irrespective OIL
the results of the east well, which is
favorably located on the Sunburst
structure four miles southeast of the
5unburst producer.
The Kevin courier. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1922, 1922-06-13

Six rigs have been ordered for the
development Of the company's hold
ings in the Sunburst district.
Meanwhile a plan is under con-
sideration of pipeline from the No.
l we'll to Sunburst, to put the crude
ON the market Immediately.
The purchase of six rigs, though
unaccompanied by any statement, in
dicates program of development on
"a big scale on the part of the Sun
burst corporation, which is said to
be amply financed to carry on extern
sive enterprises.
The Sunburst well was practically
out of oil for fuel when the flow was
encountered. Now the Sunburst oil
is being used
Dorsey Hager, geologist, in charge
OF the Sunburst operations, had an
analysis of the oil made finding thatl
it is of 35 gravity, and lighter oil
than that from the Campbell well.
1t is of the same base but is con-

siderably lighter and lacks the strong
sulpher odor of the oil from the dis
covery we'll
Though Dorsey Hager and Mr..
Stevenson both insist that the well
is 800 barrel producer, other men
aver that it's flow will be greater
than the estimate, because the well
was drilled in with $40 feet Of open
hole below the gas sands. There
has been considerable cave and the
drill entered the sands only six feet.
When drilled deeper, large flush
production will result, it is generally
believed.
An eight inch string of casing will
be put in the hole and further test
will be made. Meanwhile prepar-
ations are being made to put down
the well No. 2. The first well was
put down in 16 days actual drilling.
1t was spudded in on May 16, requir-
ing 22 days in all for Burks & Clark
to bring a completion at 1850 feet.
