Big Flow of Gas Re-
ported at Campbell 6

The Campbell Oil company
drilling on 1882, has reached a
depth Of four hundred feet. At
the three hundred foot level gas
estimated at half million feet
was encountered, which is proba-
bly, the heaviest flow developed
in the field at the elevation. The
caves of considerable magnitude
delayed the early progress Of this
hole. drilling is now good and an
early completion Of the well Is
predicted. Indications are most
promising and a splendid produc-
er is thought to be in the making.

Warning 10 The
Citizens of Montana

i From various portions Of Mon
tana complaints have come to MI
attention concerning misrepres
entation on the part Of represen
tatives of different stock selling
schemes of concerns not author
lied in this state, and / therefore
as Investment Commissioner OF
the State of Montana desire tc
warn the investing public OF
Montana against the purchase OF
stocks or the making of invest
mentss without Investigation for
their protection.
Investigate before you b u y
stock from promoters or sales
men representing oil, mining or
other concerns in process of or
ganization. The Montana blue
Sky or Investment Law requires
all persons selling stocks or Sc
curities to be licensed with the
exception of representatives Of
companies having two-thirds Of
their assets in Montana. Ask to
see that license.
Information concerning a IL
licensed companies and agents is
on file in my office and you are
advised to make inquiry regard
ing any contemplated investment
In some instances stock is illegal
ly sold in this state and this de-
partment has no knowledge Of
the violation until a year or more
afterward when the purchaser
makes inquiry regarding h e
company of which he is a stock
holder, and then it is too late to
apprehend the guilty salesman.
This department makes every
endeavor to enforce what laws
are at its command, and will
gladly render all possible assist
ance to the prospective investor.
Inquire before you buy.

Homestake-How Wing
largest in Field

The Homestake Exploration
Howling No. 3, 9-35-2 W. which
jumped from a 150-b barrel we'll on
the pump to 1000 barrel a day.
AS matter of fact the measured
flow Of the big we'll was ITO per
hour, or at the rate of 4,080 per
day. The 1000 barrel storage
tanke were filled in a short time,
and they were forced to close the
we'll. The we'll is connected with
the Illinois pipeline, as are all of
the Homestake wells, and crude
is being put through to the rail-
roads for shipment to the Home
stake refinery, but t h e IlIi-
nois line has been running to
near capacity from the field with
a four-inch pipe, and the sudden
increase through the Howling
cannot b be handled except in
small amount. New tankage will
be taken to the Howling we'll as
it can be secured and the gusher
be opened again as soon as its
output can be taken care of.
The coming in of the Howling
No. 3 as a 1000 barrel gusher,
after having been in for several
weeks as a 150-barrel pumper, is
the sensation of the Kevin field,
and is looked upon as the most
important development since the
original we'll was brought in.

Fryberger Proves
To Be Good Well
Improves Possibilities in South
western Portion Of North
State Field

The Gladys Belle-Fryberger
well in section 24-35-3 W, placed
on the pump after having been
considered dry hole since it
was completed last November,
produced 80 barrels Of oil in five
hours Saturday. Pumping was
suspended at the end Of five
hours because of lack of water.
but it was considered that the
showing was sufficient to estab-
lish the we'll as commercial
producer.
The long abandonment of the
we'll left the owners without an
adequate supply of water and
this need must be supplied before
the well can be placed regularly
on a. pump. According to O. I.
Groves, who is field manager for
the Gladys Belle company, the
well will be good for about 80
barrels a day.
The well is a mile and half
from the Gladys Belle-Kearns,
the nearest producer, and its con-
version from a duster into COM
mercial hole potentially proves
the intervening area and con-
acreage of surrounding
land. Two miles to the south of
the Fryberger, we'll has been
spudded in by Gordon Campbell,
which with the Fryberger will
test out a large portion of this
end of the field.

At the regular meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce Tuesday
night, negotiations were com
pleted that will enable the town
of Kevin to give trackage prop
erty to those desiring to estab-
lish enterprises of moment in
this locality. Inasmuch as a rep
resentative of one of the oil sup

ing the field to the end of locat-
ing, the action Of the Chamber
was most timely. M
The matter of Community
hall was discussed and at the
suggestion of the president, L.
r. Olsen, a committee consisting
of Harry Daum, George Shaw
and e. B. Campbell were select
ed to provide plans and estimates
Of the probable cost. 1t was
recommended that the building
be Of cement and fire proof.
The Publicity committee re-
ported much progress and prom
ised a complete report for the
next meeting.
M. G. Green was authorized to
employ facilities for the compile
tion of the recently graveled
streets and avenues, by rolling
and oiling.
Communications were read in
dicating the early arrival of a
much needed commercial institu-
tion and professional men,
AT this juncture J.S. Gordon,
using the subterfuge that heehad
a very important communica-
ton that he inadvertently left at
home," asked for five minute
recess, returning moment later
with a bevy of the Civic Club
ladies who provided a surprise
luncheon that was much enjoyed
and greatly appreciated.
Mrs. B. C. Herd, president of
the Civic Club made short and !
appropriate address that was
greeted with favor and applause.
When the meeting was again I
called to order the Civic Club as
a whole was formally admitted
to honorary membership.
On motion the meeting ad-
journed.

PotIaicI1 Will MAKE Test
For Big Mother Pool

did not test it. The Sunburst'
Sewart well on 1881 W, went t6
the Dey0nian, it is reported, but
made no test of it.
A sample Of the shale taken
from the California-.Iohnson well
after it had penetrated the De-
vonan formation was found to be
heavy impregnated with oil, and
highly organic. This leads those
who believe in the last theory to
look upon the Devonian as the
source Of the mother pool'' Of
this field, and they claim that its
value for testing should be arriv-
ed at by the same process of
reasoning that is used in the Cali
fornia fields. There oil operators
first question, "are there organic
shales?" then, are there sands
in these shales?" and next, are
the sands of sufficient thickness
to procuce oil in commercial
quantities?" When these ques-
tions are satisfied. in the order
given, the operators are ready to
spend money to prove their as
sumptions of commercial oil. De-
vonian enthusiasts believe that
as slongas this formation is known
to be organic, that tests Of the
formation to find out the number
and thickness of the sands will be
valuable, and are likely to locate
the real big production" of this
region.
To further confirm their argu-
meas. they point out to the fact
that the production from the
Ellis formation in this field is |
very spotted, that small produc
er or even q dry hole will offset
a heavy producer, and they attri-
quite this fact to the faulting and |
Of the Devonian cap
formation, that allows the oil to
come through in greater quanti-
les in some areas. AS an ex-
ample the Ohio Baker three well
s cited. This we'll drilled into the
iand without any startling re-
ults, then a hard formation was
encountered which seemed very
much like a cap rock. When this.
vas drilled through the well

he derrick and countryside with
il until it was put under control.

make test Of the Devonian in
| 2l-34-1 W the test will be watch
ed with great interest. A heavy
| derrick is already on the ground
and work will be started within
a few days. The well will be half
a mile north and east of the Troy
| SWeetgrass No. / well, a gasser,
and the first test we'll that was
sunk on the east side. The origi-
nal test was made when the field
stages of development. 1t was
drilled with a diamond core drill
and the information gained from
this well will be helpful in the
Potlatch Devonian test.
Three other companies also, it
is rumored, contemplate drilling
Devonian tests. These four wells
| if they proceed as planned, will
form a semi circle about t h e
eastern side Of the structure, all
Of them proximately the same
distance up on the structure as
the Potlatch test will be.
The drilling of these wells
brings forward a world of theory,
speculation and hypothesis as to.
whether or not oil in commercial
quantities can be found in the
Rocky mountain region Of the
Devonian as it is now being
found in the same formation in
the oil fields to the eastward.
Indeed there has been a great
deal Of discussion amoung those
who mig ht be looked to as author
tiles npon oil accumulation, as to
the proba ability Of the oil that is
now being found in the Ellis for
nation coming from the Devon
ion formation rather than from
the Cretaceous or the Mississippi
ian as was first commonly be-
lieved.
Different geologists have held
varying theories as to the origin
Of the oil that is being obtained
from the Ellis sand in the Kevin
field. Some have held that the
oil has originated in the shales
Of the Cretaceous age and has
migrated downward to the Ellis
sands below, others haye attri-
Duted the origin Of the oil to the
Ellis formation itself, and still I
others have arrived at the con-
,lusion that the oil must have
migrated upward from the De-
vonian formation through cracks
,r fssures in the cap formation
# the Devonian, into the over
ying Ellis.
Those opposed to the first be-
ief that the oil originates in the
Jretaceous and migrated down
ward to the Ellis, seek to dis
,rove this contention by pointing {
% the fact that the oil found in (
he Colorado and Kootenai sands s
s Of paraffin base, while, that {
# the Ellis is Of a mixed para t
FIN and asphaltum base. The |
Issertion that oil originates in
he Ellis formation is opposed Y
With the argument that there are
Insufficient shales in this forma- e
ion to hold enough organic matt t
r to originate oil. The third c
heory that the Ellis production
nlgrates from h e Devonian r
trough assures caused by fault z
lg has not, perhaps, been as z
uccessfully disputed as the other
W. assumptions. 9
Those who hold this last theory a
ONT to the fact that no adequate 0
est of the Devonian has been c
lade, or at least none has been Il
lade public, that would show a
nat this formation or age would s
OF produce oil in this region t
lst as it does in the Mid-Con- r
nent fields. The California
