Glass Sand Thot to Ex-
ist in Large Quantities

Sand containing silica in COM
mercial quantities and content are
believed to exist west and in
close proximity to this city. Sam
Piles obtained by Art Louis were
subjected to test at one Of the
local garages yesterday. Tho the
facilities for the demonstration
were very limited, evidence of
glass in more than negible con-
tent was produced.
The Chamber of Commerce to
the end Of verifcation are send
ing specimens to various labator-
les.
Glass sand in t h is locality
would mean a market for the To-
cal consumption of gas beyond
that needed for domestic purpos-
es, and the result Of the assays
is looked forward to with more
than passing interest.

Large Flow For
homestake Well
Produces 200 Borrels In Eight
Hours -Andcrsch No. Two
To Go On Pump

The Homestake-Howling No.
l3 well, 1852 W. which came in
several days ago is rated as the
largest producer of the Home
stake Exploration company's 8
wells on that lease. In 8 hours
this we'll swabbed 200 barrels.
The Homestake-Pewt No. 2,
22-35-2 w, which came into pro-
duction August 20, was put on
the pump last Friday. There was
800 feet of oil in the hole shortly
after they cleaned out from a l2O
quart shot. This should make a
good commercial we'll of at least
100 barrel well.
The Homestake-Pewters No. 3
1882 w, are drilling below L.
300 and the same eompanp's No.
4, section 22-35-2 W, which spudd-
ed in only a. few dasy ago are
drilling below 600 feet.
The Homestake company's re-
finery at Great Falls is taking
the entire production from it's
own wells, which amounts to
about 600 barrels day. The
Of the refinery is 1900
barrel day, and the company is
trying to buy sufficient crude
from other operators in the field
to run the plant at full capacity.

Added Production

stead of the one that is here at
present.
The Beaver of Montana Oh
company's s well, which came in
a few days ago with good pro-
duction has caved somewhat, but
is now cleaned to within six feet
of the producing horizon. There
is thousand feet Of oil in the
hole. AS soon as the well is
cleaned it will be completed by
drilling about seven feet farther
into the sands, after which it will
be placed on pump if necessary
and connected with the pipe line
which is laid to within so feet of
the we'll now. The pipe line now
is connected with both the En-
pire Of Montana wells, the Wy

the Beaver.
The international Oil company
which drilled into production in
1882 W, OH a 10-acre tract
owned by Canadians a short time
ago, is now going to put down
it's No. 2 we'll on the same tract.
Work will start by the first of

25-35-2 W, WHICH came in the
last of the week had 1000 feet of
oil in the hole the following day

Chamber Of Commerce
Is Growing Rapidly

Each meeting of the Chamber
is demonstrating that the citiz-

of a we'll organized body of har-
mony, loyalty and cooperation.
At the meeting Tuesday even
ing, Harley Shower, Oscar Oos
and Frank Garcia we're admitted
to membership, with others in
prospect.
The Publicity committee made
several recommendations that were
accepted, including a publicity
stamp for all outgoing mail, pic
ture post cards and a slogan for
the city. Of the latter, Hear,
Of Oil" popularity received, but
at the suggestion of J. S. Cor
don, this matter was left open
until the next meeting when
each member is to contribute an
idea to this end.
The Kevin Civic Club, as
whole. were elected honorary
members.
1t was decided that before oil
ing the streets a drag be employ

Whatever oil wells are doing
in other fields, they are certainly
not diminishing in production in
the Kevin field, when this week
SO far sees two Weels increasing
their flow to SUCH an extent that
the pumps are in the way and
must be removed that the oil may
flow steadily into the pipes.
The Montana G liant No. 3,
drilling on section 30-35-2 west,
in an area viewed askance by op-
orators SO far as big production
is concerned, found the pump un-
necessary yesterday and remov-
ed it that the oil might flow un-
impeded into the tanks. The we'll
has been on the pump since be-
ing cleaned and completed, but
the pumping cleaned the hole to
such an extent that a greater
volume of oil is now released and
a two-inch pipe is carrying a ca
pacity load from the well.
The other we'll that has out
grown the pump is the Empire
of Montana No. 2, which came
in on section 25-35-2 w some time
ago, and Immediately took its
place as one Of the good wells of
the field. The volume Of produc-
tion has now reached proportions
that make it necessary to remove
the pump and allow the oil to
flow into the battery of six 250-
barrel tanks. These tanks are
now filled to capacity, and more
are being installed, as the pipe
line is unable to handle all of the
oil produced. There is some talk
now of overcoming this difficulty

Sunburst to Boost
Refinery Output
5000, ,OOO-Burrel Annual Ca
pocity Needed; Dispose Of
Finish Product in West

Preparations are being made
I to increase the capacity OF the
Sunburst refinery here, since the
announcement of the G. N. rail
road president, to the effect that
the company would soon be in a
position to take all of the fuel oil
from the local refinery. At the
present time the Great Falls re-
fnery is furnishing some fuel oil
to the Great Falls smelter, East
Helena smelter and the Great
Northern railroad.
According to L. C. Stevenson.
schairman Of the directors OF the
refinery company, an outlet for
the fuel oil business has now
been assured. Negotiations which
,have been going on for some time
past, have now been practically
concluded and the Sunburst re-
fnery business is on safe foot
j ing and the plant will be lncreas-
6 ed so that it reaches a capacity
eof 100000 barrels annually.
Gasoline, kerosene, gas oil.
stove and tractor distillates and
fuel oil are now being furnished
:at The local refinery, and Tues
eday arrangements were perfect
fed whereby several east n
Washington jobbers will take
considerable of the output OF gas
co.ine, kerosene and gas oil.
The increased business a ! s Q
ralls for considerably more tank
age, which will be installed I'M
imediately. Additional tank cars
are now being arranged for and
Tom Kenney of the refinery COM
,pany is now building additional
lloading racks at Sunburst to ac-
6commodate the Great Falls plant.
"Our business has been steadi-
lily increasing" said Mr.. Steven
son Tuesday evening, land with
this new deal Of the Great North
ern, it will be necessary for US to
increase the capacity of the plant
at once. Some Of our products
are in such demand at the pres
ent time that they are moved in
to the cars before they are cool
ed. Loading Of warm liquids has
been daily occurrence for some
time. - Great Falls Tribune.

CRITICISM

It's easy enough to pick out flaws
In the work that others have DONE
To point out errors that others have made
When your own task you haven't begun;
It's easy enough to fuss and find fault
When others are doing their best
To sneer at the little they have achieved
When you have done nothing but rest.
It's easy enough to cavil and carp,
To criticse, scoff and deride,
For few of us ever have done perfect work
No matter how hard we have tried
It's easy enough not to speak of the BEST
And to dwell all the time on the worst,
And perhaps it is proper, sometimes to find fault.
But be sure that youv We done something first

Wagner of Wisconsin Rapids,
drove UP to the Big Woods region
yesterday, and will spend a week
camping at the bull pen" on Vel
low Birch lake, a favorite camp
ing spot for piscatorial and ma

will derive much pleasure from a
real outing in a real country
Most of their time will be spent
in plying the chain of lakes and
fishing; also visiting their friends
from Wisconsin Rapids who are
now Eagle River residents. Mr..
Wood spent a week in Chicago at
the Outdoor Exposition and be-
came acquainted with Eagle River
exhibitors who convinced him of

wonderful section Nature has es.

Lose Its Pep Sunday.

Sundays game of ball between
Rhinelander and Eagle River at

loving fan to have been mighty

did lose to a score of 6-5.
Just read what the base ball
writer in the Rhinelander Daily
News says of the ''listless" game,
You see, Rhinelander has been
cleaning house with all the other
teams, goose-egging Tomahawk
the other day. Then to win out
over this berg by only one score,
it must hurt. Here It's:
only a small crowd witnessed
the game of baseball between
Eagle River and Rhinelander play
ed on the local diamond Sunday
afternoon. The intense heat kept
the crowd down and the brand of
baseball displayed was of the list
less variety. Eagle River scored
three runs in the second inning
on three hits, a wild pitch and an
error, two more in the third on
three hits and an error. After
that they were able to get but
one hit and no more runs. Rhine
lander scored once in the third
on two passes, one hit batsman
and an error. Three in the fourth
on four hits and two errors. Two
in the ninth on four hits and an
error. The winning run was scored
in the ninth with no outs and all
three bases occupied.
