of the Sunburst Oil & Gas company
in Kevin-Sunburst field, announced
by L. G. Stevenson, president.
This number of wells will be drill

Cat Creeks Magnificent Record

SdO OIC6A . 1F1AS5nAA4tCnt IeOSOi0
From 10 wells in Cat Creek is
being measured the potential pro-
duction of the field, which scarcely
three years ago was mere hypothe-
tical proposition, with questionable
future. In a comparatively short
period Cat Creek has been made to
produce more than any field in Wy
oming, outside of Salt Creek, and
the peak of production is far from
being reached The record of Cat
Creek for the year 1922 shows pro-
duction of 2,209,832 barrels, with
out accounting for oil consumed in
the field for fuel.
During the first six months there
were 1926 tank cars of oil shipped
out of Cat Creek. During the last
six months of the year a substantial
increase is shown, the number of
cars being 1922, or 8,817 cars for
the year. The increase in the last
six months of 1922 is due to the tap
ping of the second Cat Creek sand,
which practically doubled the pro-
duction In round numbers, Cat
Creek must be credited for the year
just closed with more than $4,000
900 of new wealth taken from one
of Montana's natural resources.

Best Strike of North

What is estimated as the greatest
producer yet drilled in in the Sweet

that within 80 minutes after the
Ohio-Baker No. 8 was drilled two
feet into the Ellis sand at 1880 feet,
heads of oil flowing SO feet over the
top of the derrick came three times,
pouring 500 barrels of choice oil over
the ground. Oil men agree that it
is the biggest strike of any in the
field. The well is on the southeast
quarter of the southeast quarter of
section 4, township 35 north, range
