Eulberg Makes Deal
on Land Near Kevin

A deal which may portend addi-

Kelvin was consummated recently, ac-
cording to Toole county records at
Shelby, whereby Adam j. Eulberg, a
Lewistown and Cat Creek oil operator,
transferred So per cent of all oil and
gas in the east half of the southwest
quarter, and west half of the south
east quarter of section 8-34-2 west;
and 821s per cent in the east half of
the southwest quarter of section 9-34
2 west, to Richards, Horteinstein &
Decker. The transaction is said to
contain a drilling agreement, but The
Courier is unable to secure additional
particulars at this time, and the prin-
cipals could not be seen. Mr.. Eulberg
secured this acreage, with other stuff,
early this spring, and in addition has
spent much time at Kevin in connec-
tion with water supply line he and
his associates are planning whereby
water for drilling and for Kevin was
to be piped from the big springs
above the Rim.

Four New Cat Creek
Wells Are Completed

Lewistown, August 19.-Four fint
wells completed from the second sane
within "a hours of each other was the
record made in Cat Creek up to last
evening. The first of these to be brot
in was the "56" Petroleum's second
we'll from the second sand. This is in
section II and it is now pumping over
700 barrels.
The Catlett- -Midnorthern No. 5 com
pleted last evening is in the SWA
of the NWA Of section 13, it is con-
sidered good for at least 700 barrels
on the pump.
The Green -Midnorthern No. IL was
the last to be brought in and was
drilled two feet into the sand last
night, having an estimated production
then on the pump, of TOO barrels. 1t
was fully completed this morning.
The Midnorthern No. 13 is in
the NWA Of the NEA of section Ia
and offsets the "56" to the southeast.
1t will pump TOO barrels if not more.
This record of four wells in "a
hours, all from the second sand, with
a total pumping production of at least
$500 barrels will greatly stimulate
development work in the field.

Dry Fork Resumes Work

Conrad, Aug. 18.-Resumption of
drilling operations in the well of the
Dry Forks Oil company, three miles
north of Conrad, has aroused the oil
interest in this community. Brugs
Brothers, a contracting firm of Lewis
town, is in charge of the operations in
accordance with contract entered in
to with the oil company several weeks
ago.
Last week the drillers succeeded in
cleaning out the hole, which was q

nouncement made by B. 0. Jones, Sec
retary-treasurer, who has left fol-
Butte to meet Hansen.
Hansen will spend a few days in
Butte, looking over mining properties
owned there by him and will then be
joined in Great Falls by Governor
Frantz, the first vice president. L.
Lilly of the Montana Sweetgrass, now
inspecting acreage under option in
Cat Creek, will return to accompany
the officials to the northern fields,
where they will inspect the acreage
held, amounting to some 5000 acres.
Company officials announced that
the standard rig to open development
operations is now en- route and the
visit of Hansen and Frantz is inter
preted to mean that development
plans will be laid during their visit.
The return of Frantz and Hansen
in the development of the Montana
Sweetgrass company recalls Frantz as
the discoverer of the Cat Creek field
with his original company. Hansen
has also played part in the state in
the mining game. He developed the
Walker mine, one of Montana's ia
nous copper producers, later sold to
the International Smelling company.
He still retains mining interests in
Montana.
