The rig was originally purchased
with the view of drilling a new well

Crooked Hole May
Cause Abandonment
OF Spindle Top Well
to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, Oct. 1.-THE Mid
Northern has experienced so much
trouble with its test well in section
27-13-23, on the Spindle Top structure.
that those in charge may conclude to
start a new hole. In tho earlier stages
of the drilling a crooked hole delayed
The work and since then there have
been lost tools and other accidents.
For three weeks scarcely any real
progress has been made in the drilling.
There is q return of the old optimism
at the Kansas-Montana well at Wini-
fred, the people there believing once
more that Manager w. I. Brown of
the Kansas Montana is going to bring
in a producer. The free oil in the hole
increased Tuesday and while the pro-
gress is very slow, owing TO the small
hole, great depth and cavey nature of
the ground, the we'll has never looked
so promising as 1t does today. The
drill is at 1900 feet.
A most singular situation has been
developed at the Republic well. on
Brush creek, in the Cat Greek field.
This well was down around 1,6O0 feet
a year or so ago. when drilling was
suspended. Recently the drilling was
resumed by another concern. which has
taken the property over and a few
DAYS ago it was discovered, according
to reports received here Tuesday, that
some one had, during the long shut
down, dropped q large chunk of steel
into the well and that the drill was
grinding against this 1t Is expected
that the obstacle can be remoyed with
ont great difficulty.

been no change in the regular rate of
dividend then established. During this
period the substantial growth of the
company's business, in line with the
growth of the petroleum industry gen.
orally, has resulted, he declared, in a
very considerable augmentation of its
assets, largely by reason of profitable
employment of such surplus earnings.
On December 81, 1921, the surplus was
1892 21 1892. The steadily increasing
disproportion between the company's
issued capital and its net assets
prompted the directors to take such
action.
The Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey is the parent company of the
so-called Standard Oil trust. which was
dissolved by a decree of the United
States supreme court in 1911 into its
33 individual companies. Since the
dissolution, the aggregate quoted value
of the stocks of the various companies
has increased approximately $3,000,-
OOO.0 900.
The Standard Oil of New York which
recently declared a 200 per cent stock
dividend, had a common stock capital
ization of $40 100000, with a surplus
of S167, 100000. In common with the
other Standard Oil companies of New
Jersey. Indiana. California and Ken
lucky, it reduced the par value of it's
shares from 500 to $25.
The Vacuum Oil company in the
Standard Oil group, with $50. 900. 900
surplus on a $4,000, 900 common stock
capitalization, recently declared a divi-
dend of 81 a share in addition to the
regular dividend.

excited Wednesday when they saw a
