Likes The Looks of
keyin Oil Fields

| H. w. Haynes, former lumber
I man Of Great Falls, who got his
hand into farming on the upper
Cut Bank a few years ago, but
who now cools his brow by the
breezes of the broad Pacific near
Los Angeles, was in Cut Bank
on Wednesday. Mr.. Haynes ad-
vises Montana folks who could
wander afar to put all such fan
cies away as he feels sure that
the state will come back to a
form of prosperity that will be
more stable and enduring than
any in the past. When the sub
ject turned to oil, as it inevitably
does, Mr.. Haynes spoke of the
great production and the fever
ish fight of the big interests lat
Signal Hill. Santa Fe Springs
and Huntington Beach, Califor-
MIA, which is eclipsing all other
western fields. Il took ii look at
the Kevin field the other day and
of course it lacks the elements of
the spectacular which now feat
ures that of California fields, but
its a dandy field, just in its early
infancy and | believe it will grow
and live long. There are many

Test Ethridge Field
Without Money Outlay

The HNo-Jack" company is the
name of the concern that will
drill the Buckner Mol well, 2-32
4 w, near Ethridge. The name
means exactly what it implies,
those who are drilling are
working on an acreage basis.
Contractor Burks has agreed to
use his tools and rigging and fur
nish tn e men, who have also
agreed to furnish their time and
labor on a similar proposition.
The derrick has been erected for
several weeks, but owing to f.
nancial difficulties no further
work had been done.
Last week, arrangements were
completed with Contractor Rurks
to drill the we'll and material is
now on the ground. They will
spud in early next week and oil
men familiar with the structure
in that locality have stated that
every indication points to sue
eessful completion. Not cent of
changed hands on the
contract to drill, hence the name
'No-Jack."

Storing Of Crude Supply
Way to End Price Slump

than now are obtained. My ad-
vice to the large buying agencies
is to get the oil.
My advice to refners is. in
stead of dumping stocks on the
market to get rid of them, to
conserve them. If any large
buying agencies can point Que
one single place from which they
expect to recoup their supply Of
oil from the slumping production
which is now going on at Tonka-
wa, Burbank, Powell, Santa Fe
Springs, Long Beach, Hunting
ton Beach, Smackover, seven out
of eight of the fields of the I'm
tied States which supply more
than half of the production. I
would like for them to make
public declaration of that fact.
There is but one major pool
in the United States which is not
declining. That is Salt Creek,
and Salt Creek has nothing of
the potential powers that it
might have had two years ago.
Stocks of crude on top of the
ground, while large. are not at
all excessive. There are large
refineries whose stocks are not at
all in proportion to those held by
the smaller ones. Many produc-
ers are carrying stocks of crude
oil which major purchasing aeen-
,ies are depending upon" The
Great Falls Tribune.

Again the ladies of the Kevir
/ Civic Club has showed themselves
loyal workers, when on Labor
Day, Monday last, they served a
six o'clock dinner to the working
force Of the Kevin streets.
Nothing was spared to make
this feed success, and probably
the l25 people that were present
to partake of this repast are loud
in their praises to the ladies of
Kevin for this occasion. The
supper consisted of fried chick
en-, baked chicken, roast chicken,
chicken pies, and every other
kind of chicken. We also had
salads, pickles, and for the lack
Of space we are unable to men
ton the many good things to eat
which the ladies prepared.
After the big feed the tables
were cleared away and dancing
was engaged in for several hours,
the Kevin Orchestra furnishing
the music. Everyone who at
tended are congratulaeing h e
Ladies Civic Club, and from re
ports there are very few men
folks that will miss the opportu-
nifty Of attending any big affair
which the ladies may stage.

Henry Sherrard, dean of Wyom-
ing geologists who has been op-
Grating in this territory since his
arrival in Montana, is understood
to have worked out several other

There is no question but the
prospecting Of Montana struct--
ures has often been ill-advised
and that the tests have frequent
ly failed to be carried to the
Madison limestone, the only con-
elusive test Of formations in
Montana. Operations Of substan-
tial companies are being made
only upon the best of geological
advice and there is little tend
ancy to test out theories that dol
NOT seem we'll founded. AS more
producing fields are brought in,
structures at present not con-
sidered worthy Of tests, will be
drilled.

to come" w. H. Gray, presiden
of the National Association of In
dependent Oil Producers, advo
Gates in recent issue Of the Oh
and Gas Journal that oil accumu
lated above the ground should be
conserved, and urges refners tc
retain their large stocks until q
later day, instead of dumping
them on the market, regardless
of prices.
Mr.. Gray says the industry
has turned the corner" and pro-
duction is definitely on the de-
cline, not only in the mid-conti-
nent fields but also in California.
He says:
"Geologists may work, statisti-
clans may figure, but consumers
of crude oil must stand by and
watch the terrific decline in the
supply of crude oil from OkIaho-
ma, the worlds great reservoir.
| say without hesitation that the
decline in Oklahoma cannot be
arrested this year and possibly
not before the fall of 1924. Pro-
duction already has declined from
527 $50 barrels to 490,716 barrels
on July %, representing a net
decline of 36,844 barrels a day.
"A few short weeks ago there
w ere numerous indications of
fields that might take the place
of these two great areas or ex-
tensions of them, but today both
Tonkawa and Burbank are de-
fined and both haye exhausted
80 per cent of their production,
while prospects of new areas
have vanished with the failure of |
the drill to make new discoveries. |
Il feel as though | can predict
with all confidence that the de-
cline of Oklahoma production
will be maintained at the rate of
at least 5000 barrels day for
The next nine weeks and that be-
fore December it will fall be-
ow the average of 100000 bar
.els day.
Arkansas will decline at the

each week during the nine weeks

Is an average. East central Tex
Is, for the same period will de-
line at the rate of 500 barrels

North central Texas, Louisiana ;
nd Kansas will register a de- !
line of at least 5000 barrels
lay during the same period. The
ields in the Los Angeles basin
f California will decline at an
verage rate of 5000 barrels a
ay for the same period of time.
These declines will aggregate :
5000 barrels a day for each Of

NEAR L OWlcI, CIlO FOWloT wei
has been abandoned at 2,2O0 feet
The California company is still
drilling in a test to the Devonial
in a we'll near Agawam. The tw'
wells have been drilled by tn,
Western Petroleum Exploration
n Crown Butte a n d Willow
Creek.
A summary of the area shows
four tests to the Madison anc
several wells drilling. Two wells
have been Abandoned.
Another large area that has
claimed interest although by nc
means t h e extensive drilling
that has characterized the Cho-
teau district, is BoWdoin dome in
Phillips county near Saco and
Malta. Here drilling operations
have been left to the Homestake
Exploration company and the
BoWdoin Oil and Gas. 1t is the
second test to be drilled by the
Bowdoin Oil & Gas. Tests have
previously been started, but new
er been completed to the Madi-
son. The BoWdoin, in it's we'll
has been drilling the results not
fully determined. The interest
in BoWdoin has been due largely
to the size Of the structure and
the opportunity for trading in
leases and royalties. During the
fall and winter of 1922, the ex-
citement threatened to over
shadow proved territory for a
short time. y
Bowdoin is a single structure
and is not to be compared with
an area such as Choteau where
it is probable that drilling will
determine a great number of
small areas. At the same time,
oil men know that entire regular
ity is not expected in so large a
structure as Bowdoin. Quite pro-
badly the structure will never be /
abandoned until a number of
tests have been drilled.
Third place goes to another
area, the Flatwillow, a large
structure, but also probably with
minor foldings that will be test
ed out.
Another structure that held
interest for short time, was
Big Lake anticline near Billings,
which took new activity with the
entry of the Mid-Northern as a
orospector. Gas, show Of oil
and other indications have en-
:ouraged operations will be carri-
I'd on in the area this summer.
In point Of extensive prospect
ng, the Porcupine dome in Rose i
bud county near Forsyth might (
)e considered important. This ;
work, consisting of some half /
lozen tests, has all all been done ,
~ one company, the StelleE Oil t
and few Of the tests {
lave been deep enough to be con- t
:lusive. /
To these general areas, are i
everal more isolated tests which i
ave held a place in the interest q
f oil men. These included the s
est of Kenneth Frazer and as e
ociates on Bears Den in north r
IN Liberty county, the Ohio test
f Sherrard structure near Big I

orth of the Sweet Grass hills.
