Spokane Money Interests
Back New Oil Fields

Spokane bankers and business
men are showing an active in
terest in the Kevin field, and are
preparing for development this
season. The financial leaders of
Spokane regard the Kevin field
as their territory and having sat-
isfied themselves as to the per-
manence and possibilities of the
oil field. Just now Spokane is
active in it's plans for refneries
to use the Kevin crude. One Of
the refnerids has already pur-
chased its site. The second, which
is backed by leading bankers and
some Of the leading mining men
of Spokane and Idaho, is COM
pleting It's arrangements. They
have called in refining experts,
have had geological reports and
market reports prepared and are
ready to begin work.
There is tremendous interest
being taken in the Kevin field by
Spokane men who are in position
financially to give aid to the field
in its development.

AGITATION
PRODUCTION

The present production of oil
in California j 8 approximately
100000 barrels daily compared
with 325,000 barrels a year ago.
This increase is due principally
to the remarkahlH aevelonn.ent
of oil fel9S nsouthern California.
AS tfs industry becomes larger
political activity against it be-
comes greater. This is the pen
atty chat is paid by any success
full undertaking which serves
many people. Someone who
knows nothing about h 9 oil
business usually attempts to tell
its managers how it should be
operated.
The marvel is that the men who
have to put up the money and
run the risk of profit or loss in
developing t h e petroleum in
dustry continue to furnish the
public with petroleum products
in n efficient and economical
way. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether new batch of oil legis-
lation would increase the efficien-
cy of distribution or would re-
duce the prices of petroleum pro-
ducts to the public. Judging from
past experience all such political
interferences with the honest
conduct of business has resulted
in increased public expense and
decrease efficiency.

Gladys Belle to
Drill Well Near
Other Location
Has Let the Contract for the
Drilling Of it's Next Well In
Section 1884

The Gladys Belle Oil and Re-
fining company has let the con-
tract for the drilling of it's next
we'll in section 1874 E to F. T.
Hastings.
The Gladys-Belle holdings in this
territory consist of about 81 900
acres, which is regarded as be-
ing practically proven by opera
tors of tn e Anaconda Copper
Mining Company, and the Mon
tana Canadian Company. The
Anaconda Copper company wells
drilled higher on the structure,
were gassers. The Montana, Ca
madam company well, drilled IT'S
feet lower on the structure, got
a flow of oil and water. The new
location which is a little over
mile north Of this we'll and high
er on the structure, is regarded
as being EXTREMITY favorable for
oil productinn. Officials of this
company estimate that this we'll
will be completed in from 60 to
rs days. Mr.. Hastings. the drill
ing contractor, has had considera-
BILE experience in the north Mon
tana field and understands thor
oughly the formations which he
may expect to encounter, fact
which will materially speed up
the work.

Campbell No. 2
Now Producer
Montana-Sweetgrass Running Wild

The two big hits in the Kevin
field this week are marked by
the bringing in of the Campbell
MCGOWAN we'll in 35-36-2 W at
a depth of 1910 feet, when the oil
sands were just barely touched.
The production at this time is
not known, but it has been re-
ported on good authority that
this will be good we'll when
tested. The bringing in of this
well completes the third produc-
er for the Campbell interests on
the west side of the track. A re-
port wired in to the Great Falls
Tribune late yesterday by ]. L.
Rock, who claims that he was
present at the time the sands
were tapped are to the effect that
oil rose 1906 feet in eleven min
utes. Acreage holders close to
this we'll are iedeed fortunate,
and as consequence there are a
great many deals being recorded
on the west side the past few
days.

placing Of three rigs in the field
this season have been closed by
the Consolidated Petroleum COM
pany of Denver, Colorado. 1t is
understood that the program of
the company contemplates the
placing Of IL rigs in operation by
fall. A part of this acreage held
by the company is in this field
while a larger part of it is in
wild cat structures.

Sunbursf WI afer Line
Is Near Completion
Two Reservoirs of 100000
Barrels Capacity Will Feed
Northern Oil Fields

Work on the 1O-mile Kelvin
| Sunburst water pipe line has
started and completion Of the
project within five weeks at the
cost of $50, 900, has been announc.
ed by officials.
/ Pipe, cement n d all other
material necessary to complete
the work has been unloaded in
Sunburst and will be moved to
the scene of operations at once.
Four-inch pipe will be used from
the company reservoir. in section
1892 w, to the company's wells
| in section 1852 W, 1852 w.
The Homestake Oil company will
cooperate in the project and will
use the water in drilling its hold
ings in section 1852 W, where
the Ohio-Baker and the Home
stake No. / are now producing.
Two reservoirs in section 379-
2w will supply water for the
line, which will have a 5000 bar
rel daily capacity. The first
reservoir now accommodates800,-
900 barrels O f water and the
second, short distance north,
has a 100000 barrel capacity.
A rs horsepower crude oil burn
er engine will be installed at the
reservoir and will have ample
power to feed the line. Not only
will the line feed the Midwest
and Homestake wells, but water
will be sold to other operators.
Enough water will be pumped to
supply at least 25 rigs. Other
operators have already made
arrangements to use the pipe line
water. 1t will be the first line to
be installed in the field.
For the time being the pipe
will be Ieveled and left on top of
the ground. Later in the summer
the company will send ditching
to the field and sink
the line to an average five-foot
depth. This depth will remove
all possibility Of freezing.

Four More Wells

H. H. Swartz has announced
that four more wells are to be
drilled this summer on their 240-
acre tract in the Kevin field, on
which the Swartz-Kevin No. /
producer is located and is estimat-
ed to be good for rs or 100 bar
rel well.
Mr.. Swartz controls over 1000
acres near this well. The next
location for we'll has been spotted
south of the producer 440 feet on

With the bringing in Of the
Montana-Sweet Grass No. l well
on section 20-35-2 w, the field is
extended about one-half mile to
the south. This we'll hit the sand
at 1900 feet and was drilled nine
feet into the sands, when 600 feet
of oil rose in the hole. This well
is estimated at a SO barrel day
at least, and is located one-half
mile south Of the Gladys-Belle-

L. G. Wrather, secretary OF
the Hursh-Sinclair Refining com
pany, affiliated with the Hursh
refneries Of California, arrived
in Kevin Monday to make ar
rangements to commence laying
| pipelines into Kevin at once. Mr..
Wrather stated that two lots has
been secured just south of the
elevator which will be used for
loading racks. The use of two
lots just opposite of this site has
been donated by A. Goeddertz,
Jr., which will be used for the
big tanks that are to be built, by
the company. Mr.. Wrather says
that work will be started immedi-
ately upon the undertaking. RUM
ing the line from both north and
west directions into Kevin. This
company will erect a refinery at
Spokane and the Kelvin crude

the employment of a large num-
Der Of men. The Spokane Chron-
icle gives the following state
ment as to the activities Of this
company:
The Hursch-Sinclaire Refining
company, which has announced
plans to construct 1OOO-Darrel
oil refinery north of Hillyard,
staked out the ground plan OF I
the plant yesterday and is plann-
ing to proceed with construction

The Montana-Sweetgrass we'll
in 20-35-2, which is only about
three miles northeast, and was
brought into production only a
few days ago, went on a rampage
Wednesday when it began flow
ing over the top. When this we'll
is tested, it will, without doubt
prove to be one of the best wells
in the field. This is taken to in
dicate a continuous pool from the
Gladys-Belle group in 18 east
ward to the Hogan well in Sec
tion 1.-TWO miles of oil.

Do Your Part

HIOW men and women listen,
~ You of our city grand
We've got to clean this oil town up,
So where do you all stand?
There's rubbish dumped out front and back
And old tin cans galore
And strangers passing through our town
Will not come back no more
The ladies club of thirty-five
Have started out just right,
And if they clean our city up
We men have got to fight.
We can't expect the good wives
To do this work alone
Why not fight with them in public life?
We most all fight at home

Short Snaps
From the Field

The California -Lorenson well,
section 1882 W, has completed
rigging up for the second time,
the first rig burned down when
only six or ten feet off the sand.
Drilling is expected to be resum-
ed today and no doubt they will
hit the sand yet this week.
The first four car loads of oil
from the Kevin field reached the
American refinery at Great Falls,
last Saturday. The plant is ex-
pected to start operations this
week, with the arrival 0 f this
supply of crude and the promise
that more will be available. with
the four additional tanks just
sent to the field, they expect to
keep in steady operation.
The Ohio-Larson No. 2 which
is located to the north should
reach the pay sands this week.
The Homestake-Andrisch Mol
offset to the Hogan-Helmerick
No. / on the north, has been
cleaned and has over 900 feet OF
oil in the hole.
The Mid-Northern-Britton well
in section 5 was at the top OF the
sand with 100 feet of oil in the
bole, they are setting casing and
as soon as this is completed the
we'll will be drilled in.
After shooting the Ohio-Stock-
mans Nat. Bank No. with sol
quarts of nitro at the depth of
-,555 feet, the oil shot in an eight
nch stream over t h e crown
,lock, for several minutes, after
which bridging occurred and pro-
luction ceased. After cleaning |
he well there was over 500 feet
