HARLAN WELL
OPENS CUSHER
AREA One mile
Reported Making 1,5OO Barrels
Thursday Night; Home
stake Gets Offset.

With the bringing in of the Harlan
No. 3 well in the second sands, the
production in that horizon of the West
Dome of Cat Greek was greatly length
ened and considerable new areas of
production opened.
The Harlan well is in the SW NV
11-15-29E, the same section as the
Mid-Northern gusher in the southeast
corner The well was reported by tele-
phone and telegraph messages to Great
Falls Thursday morning as flowing
between 800 and 1900 barrels. having
been brought in Wednesday night.
Thursday night X. r. Ogg of Winnett
reported that his father had telephoned
him from Winnett that he had just re-
turned from the well and that it was
easily making 100 barrels at that
time, having increased in flow during
the day.
The well reached the second sands
at 1000 feet. according to Ogg. and
passed through the sand without en-
countering any water. 1t was expect
ed that the flow might increase as
channels were formed during the next
few hours. A good production was
found in the first sand, according to
Ogg:
The coming in of the Harlan. drilled
by the Frantz company, now gives the
Homestake an offset on the south on
the Oldham lease, the Mid-Northern
being already engaged in drilling this
well. The West Dome company.
backed by G. F. Kelley and J. d. Ryan
and other heads of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company, get W offsets
OF their leases. The West Dome let
its properties to the Mid-NortJern
about eight months ago on an operat-
ing agreement and the productive wells
on the first horizon of the leases have
been under pump by the Mid Northern
during that time. The West Dome has
some 240 acres in this lease. Some
200 feet of drilling any n Of its wells
would have added millions to the prop
erty.
With the coming in of the Harlan
a mile is added to the extent of the
second sand production. and drilling
out of offsets is looked upon to lead
to further operations to determine the
length of the productive area.

in enthusiastic letters from auditors
in such states as California, Arizona.

Gradually this range has been ex-
tended until it includes remote points

Buffalo Dome Drillers
Visit Highland Well

Roundup. July 27.-Representatives
of the Buffalo Dome company which
has contracted TO complete the old
Highland well. accompanied by officials
of the present owning concern. were in
Roundup over Sunday. visited the ba-
sin and proceeded to Missoula. where
it is assumed arrangements will be
made for the beginning of work.
An effort was made to obtain use Of
the Roundup Oil and Gas company rig,
but it is probable hat a drilling out
fit will be brought from the Cat Greek
field.
Resumption Of drilling in the Spo-
kane Roundup well is not expected
until next week. as it has been found
necessary to remove n piece of casing
before the drill is again sent into the
hole. \ crew is now engaged in the
preliminary work and sinking will be
continued from the 1910 point at
which drilling was stopped last year.
Drilling and underreaming continues at
the Montana Pioneer and 10-inch cas-
ing is being run in the red beds. No
predictions are made as to the time
when expected productive sands will
be reached.

Louis Well Is Down
1900 Feet, Showing
Brown Shale, Report

The Louis Oil company. drilling IN
section 1853 w had reached a depth
of 1900 feet late Thursday afternoon
according to a telegram received by
company officials in Great Falls.
At this depth. the drilling was IN a
gray to white formation similar to that
which had been encountered with
brown shale showings. This report
was taken by the company officials to
show that the Madison had not yet
been encountered, as the brown shall
is not known there.
r. p. Jackson. a member of the com
pany, said that he interpreted the
present showings to mean that a change
in formation is imminent and may mean
that the sand will be opened soon.

KDYS has smashed all its sending
records to atoms. Letters received
Wednesday by The Tribune radio
broadcasting station report hearing IL
400 miles away in n direction and
$500 miles in another. These dis
lance represent W points. one on the
Atlantic more than two-thirds of the
route across from New York TO Liver
pool, and the other way up on
Wrangell, Alaska.
Word was received from Harry Burt,
radio operator of the ). ). st. Panl,
that he picked up KDIS 200 miles
out of New York on the run - from
there to Liverpool. Since the distance
on this ocean route is o.lO6 miles,
the big passenger liner would have
been more than twO-thirds OF the way
across the ocean at the time. Inc
st. Paul is one of the larger passen-
ger ships, having Il length of go feet
over all and a registered tonnage OF
1920.
Special Receiving Set
Burt is well known to ID. II. Bunch.
operator of The Tribune station. and
is an old navy operator of long eX-
perience in RADIO and wireless work.
liz HAS Ntu1i hbpal' u 80
q special receiving set which he has
constructed himself, which has a DE.
forest u~ltra-audion and is capable OF
several stages of application.
No explanation is made of why
KDYS should have suddenly jumped
the bounds of its usual radius and shot
so far across the ether. 1t is true.
of course. that receiving is perhaps
90 per cent more efficient at sea be-
cause of the absence Of mineral at
fractions which tend to set up varl-
Gus resistances. 1t is also true that
the radio station aboard ship has a
much superior ground to any shore
station. since the steel hull of the yes
sci, immersed in salt water, affords
an ideal ground connection.
Heard Several Programs
The communication concerning re-
ceipt at Wrangell, Alaska. was from
G.. T.. Maddox. radio operator of the
Il. s. lighthouse tender Tender Fern,
which operates in Alaskan waters.
This distance, virtually $500 miles by
direct air line from Great Falls, CON
siderably exceeds even the remote
British Columbia regions where kDiS
has been registering of late.
According to Operator Maddox's let
ter. the station was coming in SO clear
for him even ut Wrangell. which was
the point farthest north where he at
tempted to tun in. that he is sure 1t
could have been heard without diff
Guilty at an even greater distance in
that direction. He was able to name
the pieces of music played. Nor was
his ability to get KDIS any peculiar
one night phenomenon. for be men
tions having listened to concerts for
all of one week.
Improvements To Set
The Alaska operator expresses con-
siderable surprise at being able to
hear The Tribune station at this time
of the year. which is considered the
worst possible season for static and
local interference. He is 40 more
surprised than The Tribune at this end
of the ether. There seems to be no
chance to bound the sending limits of

to Shoot Homestake

The well of the Homestake Explora-

set to the Sunburst producer, is now
making five or six barrels of oil a day,
according to E. B. Coolidge, vice presi-
dent and field manager Of the COM
pany, who arrived in Great Falls from
the field Thursday night.
The company is already preparing to
fill in the hole and cement at the base
of the sand as the shale beneath is
regarded as providing poor conditions
as it stands.
A telegram has already been sent for
experts and equipment and the well
will be shot as soon as they can ar
rive. Coolidge said the sand appeared
to be of a character that will respond
readily to shooting, and said he ex-
pected good results.
