OIL NEWS
1REASURES7ATE ACTIVITY
BREH YRECOUNTED

More than a quarter of a pound
of oil was extracted from five pounds
Of shale in an experimental plant on
Alaska Bench, according to Jack Selby
of L~ewistown, who has been conduct
ing the experiments for the Portland
Montana company. This company is
drilling a test on the bench, believing
that the sands too will carry oil. The
ShaleS contain enough oil, it is be-
lieved, to make retort recovery COM
mercial. Six hundred pounds of the
shale has been shipped to Portland,
Ore, for a test in a retCrt built for
that purpose.
The Hardin Gas & Fuel company has
spudded in on it's first well testing the
gas field adjoining Hardin. The first
well is being drilled on the w. E.
Fearls ranch, just west of town, stu
ated directly between the two gas
wells now producing. This company
was recently granted a franchise by
the city for the construction and main
tenance of a gas supply system for
domestic users.
The oil situation in the Baker oil
field is good-although not as much
progress was made during the last few
weeks as anticipated. The calcula-
tons made by the biologists in re-
gard to the depths of the oil sands had
to be corrected and the findings now
indicate that the oil formations are
considerable deeper than at first fig
ured.
Drilling of the Black Hawk we'll,
the deepest one in Fergus county, has
been resumed. The quadrant forma-
ton, down about 200 feet below the
present level, is the objective, and
while the hole is now down $3.50 feet,
it is not thought there will be any diff
ficulty in carrying it down to that
Mid-Northern company's Hailstone-
keenan, in the Hailstone basin is drill
ing at a depth in excess of 2,130 feet.
a depth of approximately 200 feet
dry sand, believed to be the Lupton,
was encountered. Hole is being carried
down with a view to testing all pos
sible horizons of oil in the Dakota.
Drilling has been resumed in the
Oil Springs district, nine miles west
Of Buffalo, after having been suspend
ed since. last January, by the Glen
noma-Oil Springs Development com.
oany. The bit was started at 100 feet
md it is anticipated that the well will
