The eKevin-Sunburst New Developments
Montana Not Slow
As to Oil Refineries

AS a natural outgrowth Of the
oil industry, Montana has not
been slow to recognize. that the
refining end of the business, was
an immense money maker. Miles
City is the pioneer in this line.
Home capital in every instance
has been the means of establish
ing refneries. And now that the
industry has advanced t O the
stage where it has come to be
looked upon as permanent, the
big refinery concerns of the south
are making arrangements to get
into this game the coming season.
The Gladys-Belle one of the
largest independent refineries on
the continent is rapidly complet-
ing plans for the establishment
OF refinery in this state, the
only thing now left undone is to
decide upon its location. The
Texas company, Texas Produc-
tion company, Gulf Oil corpora
tion and the Gypsy Oil company, |
all of them large refiners, are
coming into the Montana refn-
ing game. Within another year
Shelby, Kevin and Sunburst all
will be refining centers. The
Kevin-Sunburst field is now sup
plying crude not only to the
Montana refineries, but is also
sending crude to Canadian refn-
cries at Regina. The following
table gives short but concise
resume of the refining industry
that has sprung up in Montana
during period of two years.
Reflnieries are now established |;
and in operation at Miles City,
Billings, LeWlstown, Winnett !
and Great Falls. The daily capa-
.ity is 10000 barrels. the invest '
ID capital is $4,000 and they t
ire now refining 4,4OO bnrrels of e
rude daily. Kevin Sunburst

The coIonal-Keviigl
Is Army Concern


The Colonal-Kevin company,
is Minneapolis organization
financed by some Of the wealthy
men Of the Twin Cities. It de-
rives its name from the fact that
there are SO many army men en-
listed as stockholders. They have
acreage in the Kevin area for
which@they paid at the ratesof
5000 per acre. They are now
just completing a campaign
which has produced the necessary
funds, and will be in active op-
the coming spring.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-01-04
The Water Supply

This is an exceedingly dry area
and the past season has seen a
great retardation in the work of
development, incident to the poor
water supply. Many companies
themselves have thrown up the
earth works to impond water the
coming spring. Many farmers
have done the same thing. The
coming season will see more than
five hundred wells in the course
of drilling, and now that an ed
equate water supply is assured,
the work will progress the COM
ing season, with a haste unknown
during the past year.

Concern

The J. H. Adams Land com
pany Of Minneapolis, have taker
over the sale Of the town lots ir
the Sunbeam addition to Sun
burst. There are going to be
several good towns built in the
Kevin-Sunburst oil field, and
Sunburst is surely one of them.
This village is already the tank
farm station, as we'll as the point
Of activity of several of the oil
wells supply houses. The Sun
beam addition to Sunburst lays
just east of the tracks, and is an
ideal location for not only rail
road frontage, but comprises
some Of the finest building sites
in h e village of Sunburst.
Always in the sale of a new lot
addition to even the largest cities
there are many who are slow to
take advantage Of the very best
of offers, because they do not
know that the venture will prove
a success. The Adams company
has become known as one of the
independent oil operators
in the state, and they have done
away with all chances Of loss in
his lot sale, by contracting to
deliver a completed oil well, in
he big producing area east of

output of this field that will naturally
flow Canadaward.
Dunkirk, Devon and Galata, just east
of Shelby are feeling the thrill of oil ac.
tivities. Many new projects are being
pushed in the vicinity of those towns,
and active drilling near them will be in
full swing the coming spring.
Shelby, the county seat, is taking on
all the airs of a large center. Naturally
all the business of this field will have to
come through Shelby. Shelby has two
of the best banks in the state, both of
which are able to care for the demands
Of the oil men.
Sweet G1ass has been a big bet with
the oil mendering all the time this has
been an oil field. Sweet Grass has the
best drawing card of the entire field It
is proud of its hotel, being entirely up-to-
date brick structure, with all the COM
forts that city like Minneapolis can af-
ford
Bill O'Haire of Sunburst is one of the
figures of the field. He has
the townsite west of the tracks, and Bill |
has been the means of bringing lot of
capital into this area.

has been the only paper printed right in
the center of the field. 1t prints weekly

THRILL
TALE Of TODAY

Various thrills have been received
by the Tribune In the Thrili.a.Day
contest being staged. the winner each
day receiving two tickets to tho
America theater. The tickets today
go to C. f. L. His story follows:
Tn 1911 I had the fortune to re-,
ceive an assignment for the Brazilian
government to attend a surveying
expedition into some OF the mora
desolate parts OF the country. I wa4
required to leave behind all famiirt
ties Inc It was not without misgivin=
that I said goodbye to n wife who
was not n too well ut the time. It.
was natural therefore that after thu
expedition was but half completed I
should want to turn back on hearing,
that my wife had been taken down,
with the dread fever OF the tropics.
II was persuaded. however. that Z
could 10 nothing and that to re-
traverse the country alone wo,id IL
Just as futile as to go on with the
expedition. I could accomplish moth.
ing by turning back.
There was another month Of tho
work and by dint OF doing more than
the average human body can stand
I was able to keep my mind off this,
tragedy that I was sure awaited me-.
WHEN I was at last able to return
the success of the expedition was
surpassed only by the good news
that awaited me when I found that
my wife had completely recovered..
