Many Enjoy Sports

One of the largest crowds Of the

Sunday. at Ganneston Park The
field and woods were black with peo-
>plc on skis and snowshoes having
the time of their lives. Although
there were no organized hikes. ad-
vantage was taken by many. of the
fine day, to explore the woods. This
increasing interest in the winter
sports, looks favorable for the at
tendance at the Winter carnival.

Much Drilling
Due This Year
In Northeast
Stote Inspector Says Activities
Are Under Way in Sew
erdI Fields

From the present outlook the
northeastern part 0 f Montana
promises to get a good play in
oil prospecting this summer.
On Bowdoin, the Homestake
Exploration and Bowdoin Oil &
Gas companies rigs are both drill
ing now. The Homestake s
drilling at about 1000 feet while
the Bowdoin is at about 1,40C
feet. The Homestake appears to
be slightly higher structurally,
and is making good progress,
now firing its boilers with gas
from the we'll. The Bowdoin rig
has been repaired after being
damaged by gas and the gas is
now controlled. The company is
preparing to run eight-inch cas-
ing that will then permit the
control of the gas and its use to
fire the boilers.
Two small rigs, capable of go
ing about I.2O0 feet, are also at
work q. Bowdoin validating per-
mits. a.
-1as.g is considerable activity
in leases municipalities in the field.
The prices paid for royalties are
especially high for wild cat field.
Northeast of Havre there is
some leasing underway by
brother Of Gordon Campbell.
The leasing is centered in two
areas, one about three mics from
the area opened by the Havre
Gas company wells, while the
other is about eight miles from
Havre.
Operations have again begun
at Kremlie and a completion on
this structure is promised soon.
At Wolf Point, Fred c. Williams,
who represents a drilling COM
pany, is leasing acreage. Mr..
Williams has already blocked up
between 10000 and 10000 acres
of leases and drilling is expected
to follow this summer.

miles eastward and opening up
a pool of AZ degree gravity oil,
the highest grade oil in the field,
the Potlatch Oil company's No. 2
we'll on the state lease in SW4
SW4 1851 w, found oil in the

l446 feet. The amount of oil is
not yet known. This we'll lies

The last report from the field
they are drilling for the Ellis
and are below 1,490 feet, the
well had been drilled through
the Kootenai sand and the drill.
ers were preparing to set casing
to shut off production from the
Kootenai, which was estimated
as probably 20-barrel we'll or
better and the sand was a good
porous sand about 80 feet i n
thickness.
The drilling Of the we'll to the
Ellis is an important event for
this part Of the Kevin field. While
the Importance of the Kootenai
production, especially since it is
the highest gravity oil in the field
opens up large possibilities, pro-
duction in the Ellis would b e
much more important in actually
area. On the other hand
oil men are of the opinion that
should production fail in the Ellis
there is every reason for the pro-
specting of this area thoroughly
to determine the extent of the
Kootenai production.
The Potlatch oil tests better
than AZ degrees gravity, or about
SIX degrees higher than the best
oil previously found in the field.

Gladys Belle Well TO
Pay ON Royalties

Royalty checks on the oil of
the Gladys Belle Oil & Refining
company we'll in section 1852
w. will be mailed to the royalty
holders within the next few day,
according to an announcement
made by E, F. Hyland, director
Iof the company and in charge
of the Great Falls headquarters.
The payment Of royalties has
been held up for some time due
to delay in receiving payment for
oil, but with the arrival Of this
Monday, the Office is busy pre-
pairing the royalty checks. Some
delay may be necessary in order
to straighten out questions OF
royalty ownership.
The royalty in the we'll will re-
ceiye payment for oil on the
basis of $86 for one per cent, it
was announced.
The beginning of oyal ty
checks on the Gladys-Belle is ex-
pected to be followed by coming
of checks on oil of other wells in
the field during the next month.
The royalties on the Sunburst
origional we'll in section 34-36-2
W were paid sometime ago, the
Gladys-Belle being the second
we'll in the field to pay royalties.

i A Great Falls oil publication
seems determined to work up a
controversy concerning the first
discoverer O f oil in the Kevin
field and in many subtle ways
seeks to discredit the western
edge Of the field. The attitude is
parochial-minded and unworthy
of any individual or news medium
Few people are interested in the
question Of who is entitled to the
credit of mapping out the field,
but everybody is interested in
the matter of a more thorough
exploration and a 8 quickly as
possible. If the east side of the
field is the producing area, that's
lucky for certain interests; If the
western edge contains little or
no oil that's unfortunate for
certain other interests. But those
with no special interests are
hoping that the potential oil pro-
ducing area is far-fung and they
have particular interest in
factional fights and covert propa-
ganda such as fills the columns of
the publication in question. Cut

many attractive offers made.
Before Mr.. Goeddertz will award

l65 Rigs on Way;
80 For Kevin Field

Il am no more of an authority
on oil or oil development than
was a year ago or five yeary ago"
said James D. Davidson, whose
ranch is short distance from
the Campbell we'll near Kevin
and who was in the city the first
part of the week. "The oil men
are not confding in me, said he,
''but | hear fragments OF con-
versation occasionally and patch
them together. / believe there
will be more drilling right around
Kelvin than you might believe by
reading some of the press reports
and | believe that south and west
of Kelvin is where things will get
warm before the year is over
165 rigs are on the way to the
field and 80 of these will be I'M
loaded at Kevin. Times are slow
in the field at present; the oper-
ators and prospective operators
do not like to venture on con-
struction and the other outdoors
work until they are sure that
the weather has settled to stay
settled. Jim said that Kevin was
getting lively again. McWhorter

and went south, ,sstating that he

Mid-continent
DriIIers Plan
Good Business
Kansas Firms Ready to Send
Rigs to Montana the
Coming Season

Activity will be at least up to
normal in the mid-continent field,
but there will be plenty of strings
of tools available if Montana fields
prove attractive, according to H.
H. Galbraith Of Independence,
Kan, of the firm Of Galbraith &
Compton, operators, who is in
the northern fields on an inspec-
ton trip.
In the mid continent fields, the
light oils are claiming first atten-
tion, due to the field prices on
gravity basis, he said. He point
ed out that the larger companies
in lease buying have little inter-
est in the fields where the pro-
duction is 80 degree gravity and
lower, but that production of 38
degrees and higher is much
sought for, and prices on leases
are high.
From this point of view. Mr..
Galbraith said that the finding
of az gravity oil in the Potlatch
we'll, section 1851 ", is most
important to the field and will be
more important than any other
single factor in bringing mid
continent operators to Montana,
should the pool prove extensive.
While there has been much ex-
citement over the Smackover field
in Arkansas, the field for many
reasonS has been treacherous
for the operator. Despite the
large production, many owners
of wells have had difficulties.
Storage safes in tanks or earthsn
storage are high, insurance Is
high and the market is weak.
Many operators that have gone
into the field have found its dis
avantages, he said. He pointed
out that the sand from which
is obtained is but
few feet thick and that the tre-
mendous production is interpret
ed by some persons to mean that
the life of the field might be
short.
Mr.. Galbraith expectsto to spend
several days n Montana. but
whether his company becomes
an operator depends upon what
are available, develop
ments in the field and other fac
ors, he said.
