Germ in the northern Montana oil
field, the Utah Southern Oil com
pany concluded negotiations Fri
day in Great Falls for the stock
and operating control f the
Montana Sweet Grass Oil & Gas

the Montana-Sweet Grass had
under way will be continued and
four other wells will be drilled
at locations still to be announced.
The Utah Southern is one of
the largest independent operat-
ing companies and concerns itself
in the field almost exclusively
with the producing end of the oil
business. 1t is controlled by a
San Francisco syndicate, of which
G. I. Hansen, head of the Mon

the Review man, he said: "The

The Largest Oil Producing
Area in the World

The bringing in of the Hogan

the Black Magic in section 1886
3 W., which came n late Tues
day evening. The sand was just
touched in the Black Magic well
when the drilling was stopped on
account Of storage, this well is
/ mile southwest of Gordon
Campbell well, which proves the
west side to be as good if not
better than the east side and
places Kevin in the center Of 5
miles of proven oil land in three
directions. The California-Mor-
ton we'll in section 1882 E.
Sunburst discovery in section 81
36-2 E. Gordon Campbell dis
covery in MEME section 16,
and The Black Magic in the SW
4SW, section 1882 W, which
proves that the California Stan
dard made a good investment in
this vicinity at $4,000 per acre.
The deal was just closed last
week.
The Hogan we'll came in Sun
day evening at a depth Of 1884
feet, Immediately after drilling
into the Ellis sahd. The oil rose
in the hole 300 feet, and a 60
foot cave in followed.
The Black Magic has just |
touched the sand at depth Of |
1907 feet. and is reported by
driller Anderson to have HOO
feet of oil standing in the casing
and without doubt, Mr.. Ander-
son says this we'll will go over
the top when drilling IS resumed.
There are now some Is produc-
ng wells with so or more drill
ng. Three producers were brot
n last week, and four more due
his week. Large reservoirs are
low being built by the Glsdys-
Belle and Ohio companies.
From all indications Kevin
will be within 5 miles Of 100 pro-
lucing wells within one year.
Again Gordon Campbell's geo.
ogical theories are being proven

establishing itself as Montana's
greatest dividend payer.
BeardsIee Gels 100000
Arby Beardslee, who has bene-
fitted to the extent, IN the neigh
borhood of 100000 in the COM
plete contract, is undoubtedly the
largest individually holder of
acreage in the northern field and
on the basis of present acreage
prices can lay claim to the title
of being one of the wealthiest
individuals in northern Montana.
He was pioneer in the field,
aiding Gordon Campbell and TAX
ing extensive leases through the
territory. His leases are scatter
ed through the field and large
blocks of it are located in the
vicinity of the Gladys-Belle and
the Mid-Northern wells, the
largest yet brought in in the field.
Negotiations in the present acre
age sale to the California have
continued thru several months,
the sale taking place early in the
summer. 1t was held up for
much of this time pending settle
ment with Fred Whiteside, who
held part of the acreage. Later
of the department of
the interior to the transaction
was needed and this upon being
given was followed by other de-
tails that needed to be arranged.

$256,OGPaid to
Close Oil Deal
Payment Concludes Purchase of
Acreage Near Kevin by Califor-
MIA; Shows 1900 Per Cent Return
on $4,000 Outlay.

A quarter million dollars il
cash was distributed to a number
of Great Falls and northern
Montana men Tuesday, wher
payment was made by the Cal.
ifornia company on GAO acres pur-
chased in the Kevin-Sunburst
field from the Kevin- -Sunburst
company, Arby Beardslee and
Gordon Campbell interests. An
nouncement of the final closing
of the deal. which rounds out a
contract involving a total of
about $396.OO0, was made by
Judge Roy E. Ayers, secretary
of the Kevin-Sunburst, who has
been engaged in the winding up
of the transaction during the last
10 days or two weeks.
The final deal on the acreage
covered some $40 acres in town
ship 35 north, range 3 west. The
tract lies directly east of the
Campbell discovery well. OF the

in Final Payment.
The contract involving 1896, 900
all of which now has been paid,
is undoubtedly the largest single
cash transaction that has been
made in the field, considering
that the sellers retain 5 per cent
overriding royalty in the acreage.
The price on some tracts run as
high as S400 an acre.
The California, to validate the
Lincoln permit concerned in the
sale, had started drilling early in
the summer on section 10-35-3 W.,
carrying the hole to 800 feet and
it is believed that this we'll now
will be carried down by the pur-
chaser, although no announce
ment in that connection has been
made. One we'll was put down
on the permit by Fred Whiteside
for the Rainbow Oil company,
who owns part of the permit.
Gordon Campbell, who with his
associated interests, is the mem
Der of the sellers most benefited

With his attorney, Harry l.. Will !

part in making the sale to the

anticipating the closing of this
