Enthusiastic Over
Bowdoin Outlook

DR.. E. v. Cabbage of Malta,
one Of the men who put the Bow
doin dome on the map, is in the
city returning from a business
trip to the eastern part Of the
state, and is enthusiastic over
the outlook of the Phillips county
field.
DR.. Cabbage is president Of
the Phillips County Oil and Gas
company. His company secured
some 10000 acres on top Of the
Bowdoin structure when acreage
there was to be had for the ask
ing. Today the Homestake Elk
ploration company is drilling on
part of this acreage and expects
to bring in a commercial well
there within the next few weeks.
Others are preparing to drill and
the California company as well
as other Standard subsidiaries
are setting in. In fact, the Bow
doin is receiving as much atten-
ton just now as any other one
of the north fields.
-..
The Phillips County Oil and
Gas company drilled a well last
spring on a location which the
government geological survey
showed to be the top of the
structure. Gas was encountered
at 100 feet and at 1.179 feet the
cap Of the Frontier sand was
drilled into a few feet. AT that
time it was reported that the
we'll contained oil and rumor had
it that the casing was full Of oil.
In any event, the we'll was capp-
ed and work suspended. This
had the effect of shooting the
price of Phillips county Oil and
Gas stock from S1.O0 to $1,000
per share. DR.. Cabbage would
not confirm the report that oil
was found, but stated that his
company would complete the we'll
sometime in March. Every one
is Of the opinion that when this
we'll is uncapped the casing will
be found full Of oil. Simultan-
eous with the report that oil had
been found in this we'll. the stock
of the company was taken off
the market and even the high
offer of $1,000 per share did not
induce the company to loosen up.
At this time there is none of this
stock to be had.
The Hhmestake Exploration is
a subsidiary Of the Homestake
Oil, a Great Falls company, and :
has immense holdings on the
structure, handling all 0 f the
acreage of the Phillips Oil and
Gas. The Homestake we'll is now :
down about LOO feet and is
waiting for casing, which should
arrive at the we'll within a couple
of days. If the Bowdoin comes
in a producer the Homestake will -
have the largest oil acreage of
any company in the state, and
DR.. Cabbage and associates twill
have money to throw to the
English sparrows. Many Great
Falls people are interested in the
field, and the test we'll
Of the Homestake is being watch
ed with unusual interest. The
Great Falls Leader.
