Complete Snowcap
Company Refinery
In Next Ten Days

The oil refinery under construc-
ton with the Snowcap company,
one mile south Of Sunburst, will
be completed in about ten days.
Construction was started on the
plant two weeks ago. The refn-
cry will have a capacity Of 200
barrels and will be erected at a
cost of $4,000.
Production sections 7, 8 and 9.
township 34-2 W., especially from
the Kevin-Swartz we'll, which is
on the original lease of the Snow

WEST SIDE
COMING UP

With the coming in of the Cal.
ifornia-Lincolu No. 2 we'll the
latter part of last week, is turn
ing the eyes Of the oil men to-
ward the west side of the field.
This we'll was brought in at a
depth Of 1882 feet. and lies in
section 1888 west, midway be-
tween the Lincoln No. 1, and the
California-Wilson.
The actual production is not
known at this time but it is re-
ported by reliable authority that
it will be at least thirty-five
barrel we'll. The California Will
son, which at one time was re-
ported to have been pumping
around three barrels, is today
showing better and the last re-
ports are that this we'll Is now
pumping at least thirty barrels
and is looking better every day.
The Mcdonald well in 11-34-4
west are all rigged up but as yet
have not spudded in. This well
will be watched closely for if
production is found at this place
it will be impossible for them to
get the oil out from this part of
the field without making Kevin
their headquarters. 1t will also
show that Kevin IS situated in
the very center, even tho Sun
BURT and Shelby claim the hon
ors.

Three Wells Hit
Pay Sand in KeUin
Field Last Week

age and also came in the middle
Of last week at about 1856 feet
in the Ellis sand. 1t is estimat-
ed as good for $50 barrels, being
an excellent showing and good
commercial well.
The Mountain States-Sunburst
was drilled by the Mountain
States company on Sunburst ac-
erage and came in Tuesday night
of last week at about 1850 feet
in the Ellis sand, as we'll as the
first two and is estimated at 100
barrels.
The important part of the COM
ing in of the Mountain States,
however, is the fact that it ex-
tends the Kelvin field two miles
south of the Potlatch we'll No. l,
and five miles from the Ohio
Newman and Ohio-Abel wells,
proving up thousands of acres of
land in the south part of the Ke-
vim field.

Largest Wells Holding
Up in North Field

The two largest wells of the
Kevin field seem to be holding
up we'll in production according
to reports from the Ohio-Baker
No. 3, section 1852 W, and the
MISUNDERSTANDING No. 3,
section 1852 W.
The Baker produced 1,74O bar
rels during the last "a hours and
the Howling 2,240 barrels during
the same period.
The Beardslee-Bruins No. l,
section 1882 W was shot Mon
day and is now being cleaned out.
The well had an initial produc-
ton of 100 barrels a day when
brought in May 16 and had settl-
ed to Is barrels a day.

Mid Northern Makes
Record for Producer

Mark S. Danford, general man
ager of the Mid-Northern Oil
company has been looking over
the wells owned by his company
in this field. All the wells drilled
by the Mid-Northern except the
Houstis No. 1. have come as pro-
ducers, including the Howling
No. 3. the largest well in the
state.
That the Kevin field is due for
a large development campaign
this year is indicated by the sup
plies which have been hauled to
the field. At the Ohio camp is an
assortment of casing amounting
to about a quarter of a million
dollars. The Sunburst company
has over hundred Thousand
dollars worth of casing on their
racks, while the Mutual, Gladys
Belle, California and Homestake
companies have large amounts
on hand. The stock of casing
and extra drilling machinery in
the field. aside from that carried
at railroad points is not for from
a million dollars.

More Requests for
Oil and Gas Permits
Are Being Made

Washington, July 16. There
were $50 new applications for oil
and gas leases during June, COM
pared with 81 during NJ y,
John FL Edwards, solicitor of the

old cases, dealing with oil and
gas permits, were h a n d e d,
against 1,453 in May, by the
solicitor.
A total Of 233 oil and gas per-
mits were granted last month

cause of conflict with land office
claims. These are subject to re-
view by the secretary of the in

port that this formation was
found 70 feet higher than pre-
dicted by the geologists. The rig
has been shut down to change
cables and procure casing. A sue
cessful completion at this point
would mean the opening of a

NO RAGS FOR HOOKED RUGS
for Making Those Once Popular
Floor Coverings

The oldtime American floor cover
ing, the hooked and braided rugs, are
greatly In demand as the vogue for
colonial furnishings advances. The
braided rugs now on the market are
made in fast colors. Present-day
closets and modern methods of liv-
ing do moi admit of the modern house
wife making rugs. She has no rags.
CASTOR garments are sold, given
away or remade-never stored away
In this day of hurry. The DISPOSE
ton Of this surplus keeps the closet
shelves bare. Braided rugs must be
bought, although the task of braidlng
and sewing Is not a difficult one.
Genuine hooked rugs Of authentic
colonial origin r getting scarcer
and scarcer, and though many deal
ers systematically ransack the gar
refs Of New England, the supply
seems to come exclusively from those
people who have been induced only
by the high prices offered to part
with their family treasures. There
Is a steady demand for these rugs,
and those people who handle them
for the trade find that they sell
readily, and that the best specimens
are snapped up in a hurry.-Kansas

TT is difficult to generalize about the
present styles in evening wraps.
They are so varied. Individual taste
has the widest freedom In the choice
of these garments and one may indulge
a fancy that is attracted by an India
shawl, worn in the of Il cape, or
by a genuine mandarin cont, or choose
any one Of several silhouettes or any
one, or two, of many materials, to
make them.
The fancy for wraps to match
dresses worn under them has grown
beyond the limit of the tailored mode
and is much In evidence in evening
wraps. In these, capes of black crepe
or satin, are lined with crepe or other
material like the dress, or the material
of the dress Is otherwise introduced
into the wrap. An example is shown
In the illustration, revealing a cape
made of brocade and plain black satin
combined, and lined with plain crepe

Masked Goats.

At the Rowett institute, Aberdeen,
Scotland, a number of goats were to
be recently seen wearing what ap-
peared to be gas masks. The masks
were fitted to the horns by elastic
bands, and provided with an inlet
valve which admitted air, and a sec
ond valve through which the out
breathed air passed into a rubber bag.
The expired air was then analysed,
the amount Of heat produced by the
animals giving an indication Of the
quantity of food being used up. The
masked goats were being used in a
series of experiments now being car
ried on at the institution In order to
throw light on the question of animal
nutrition, and the most economical
method of stock-feeding.
