to note that the Mowry shale con-
tains oil in the Wertz dome and that
the gas we'll ia producing gas from
the Dakota thru the inner casing.
and some oil from the Mowry be-
tween castings.
MAHONEY DOME
Seven gas wells have been CON-
pleted on the Mahoney dome. all
producing from the Dakota sand.
The Kasoming Oil Co. has recently
completed a well with a showing of
oil in the Dakota sand Indicating
that there is some oil below the gas
in the same sand. On the south
flank three wells have been drilled
which we're failures. They may be
located too far down the flank for
oil but it looks more probable that
the amount of oil under the gas is
not great, and hal the Mahoney
dome field will never produce a
great amount Of oil.
Much of Mahoney dome Is con-
cealed beneath sand dunes so that
the structure must be worked out in
part from we'll logs. On the south
and west the dips do not exceed 8
degrees to 10 degrees; on the north
they are considerably sleeper. The
east end is covered, but the last we'll
drilled by the Ohio indicates by its
depth that the field extends farther
EAST than was formerly supposed
and that it may connect with the
Ferris gas field.
G.. p. DOME
The General Petroleum Corpora
ito drilled a number of holes south
and east of the Ferris dome field
and succeeded in bringing in two or
three wells from what appears to be
the sand at the base OF the Steele
shale. The wells were deep-over
5000 ft.-and when put to a test
did not hold UP we'll. The company
has stopped drilling in this part of
the field, tho it is still pumping the
wells completed. The Sand Hills
Oil Co. in the same locality also got
a little oil in several wells and is
still drilling at least one well with
the hope of getting oil in lower
sands.
OIL AND GAS
Surface lndicatiOns-So far as
known to the writer, there are no
seeps or oil springs anywhere in the
Lost Soldier district. The only in
dication OF the possible presence of
oil was the geological structure.
QUALITY OF OIL
The Dakota sand oil Is a prarffin
base oil, gravity 32 degrees to 33
degrees Baume, with an exceptional
ly high percentage Of paraffin. The
Frontier sand oil has an average of
81 degrees and contains a little less
paraffin than does the Dakota oil.
The oil at Mahoney dome is Of
higher gravity, 38 degrees Baume.

He looked at her keenly. IL got a

She nodded Tin sorry toto ask

He said nothing. But presently he
drew out an old wallet with pleasant
bulge and extracted from 1t green
bill, which he slowly unfolded. 1t was
a dollar bill. Letties wide eyes fast
ened ON II with unwinking translation.
1t was the key to fairyland. the thing
she had hoped for. worked for, fought
for; but now that II lay before her,
she was held in the awe Of unreality.
Her breath stopped; her body grew
rigid except for the play Of muscles In
her throat; a mist swan before her
eyes,
"Here you are sister" He passed
over the bill.
Lettie took 1t in a daze. She tried
to speak. "Tha-a-ank-" Her voice
bumped up and down; her thin chest
heaved In an ague of emotion she
clutched the bill and stumbled out Of
the office. Never before had she owned
dollar; a tenth part of 1t was the
largest sum that had ever come Into
her hands, and that had been immedi-
ately swallowed up by the Wopple-
window debt.
