The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-02-08

In driving over the field, one is
struck by the lack of operations
southeast of Sunburst. There is
absolutely nothing doing north
of the north line of township 35,
range two west. The Ohio COM
pany has moved over into 35-2
and are devoting all their atten-
tions to operations near the Hog
an wells. The field near Sun
burst and southeast Of that thriv-
Ing village is dead, and the big
operations are now rapidly pro-
crossing right at the very door
of Kevin.
The interests that have recent
ly taken over the old Aloe we'll
are making preparations to COM
plete that well. The California
is making preparations to drill
out their acreage in 26 and 27-35-
p west. A Minneapolis concern
through the Adams oil company
are preparing to drill out their
eighty in 1882 west, and there
are forest of towers going up
just east OF town, that shows
where the big producing area is
to be.
The Spokane-Sweet Grass well
is gasser with an initial flow of
100000 feet, it has not yet been

KeUin Crude Gets
AnOther AdUnnce

Another advance was authorized the
past week which brings the Kevin crude
to $1.4O. This is the highest price yet
posted, and from dispatches it is intimat-
ed that another advance will quickly
follow. This advance is serving to in
crease activity all along the line, and
Kevin is now coming in for the big play
this year, as the large producers, all OF
them, are right up against Kevin.

Suit Settlement
Releases Big Tract
For Development

Litigation involving 5000 acres
Of leases in the Kevin field and
of value that on the present
market would run into large
sums, was settled Tuesday follow
ing a conference between rep
resenatatives Of the Troy-Sweet
Grass Oil and the Sunburst Oil
& Gas companies.
Although the original difficulty
concerned only some $500 acres,
later dealings on this and other
acreage involved additional tracts
and companies, bringing the re-
suit to something more than A.
700 acres and involving, besides
the two principal companies, the
Ohio Oil company. the Inland
Empire Oil & Gas and the Pot
latch Oil and Land companies.
The litigation concerned pro-
badly the largest block of acreage
that has been involved in any
suit in the field since the settle
ment of the Campbell-Stevenson
litigation a year ago. Due to the
increase land values since that
time, the probable value Of the
acreage concerned at this time
was almost as great as in the
earlier cases.
Under the terms Of the settle
ment, t III e several suits n d
counter-suits which has been filed
by parties to the settlement will
now be dismissed.
Due to litigation, but one of
the leases of those involved is
under development, the Baker
lease, section 1852 W, where an
offset was forced by the coming
in Of the Mid-Northern well in
section 1852 W. Two other wells
now drilling on the same lease
and the interests Of the Ohio oil
company and t h e Troy-Sweet
Grass are retained in this lease
as we'll as the Sinden lease in
section 1852 W and the Albert
lease. east of the Western Pet
roleum Exploration company. A
gas we'll is on the Sinden lease.
The litigation over the acreage
began a year ago, before the
coming in of the wells in the field
when deal was on between the

Drilling on
Town Lots

In oil development in Califor-
MIA, such structures as Signal
Hill and the like have reached a
peak and drilling has come down
to drilling on town lots, a small
tract that is now failing to pay
adequate returns with the cost
of a well averaging about $780,
600. The greater possibilities of
the cheaper acreage in Montana
is bringing these operators to
this state.
