New Sunbursf Pool Is
Opened on East Side

Development Of a new and ex-
tensive Sunburst pool in the east
end Of the Kevin field is forseen
by Fred C. Platt, E. NJ, head of
the Northern Oil Information
Bureau Of Shelby, with the COM
pletion of the s-White No. l
we'll in section 21-35-1w. Produ-
ction was found at this location
last week, at the depth Of 1,400
feet. Drilling continued to 1, ,420,
developing a 20-feet sand. 1t is
doubtful if they will drill to the
Ellis sand, says Platt, as the Pot
latch State did not increase pro-
duction to any extent when it
was drilled into that sand and
was considerable trouble in plug
ging off sulphur water encoun-
tered.
This we'll apparently opens up
another Sunburst sand area that
should produce lot Of oil when
drilled up" he says. "The wells
willundoubtedly be small probably
not averaging over 20 barrels,
but it is only 1,400 foot drilling
and they have at least a 20-foot
sand to depend on, which should
produce for long time if it
stands up as well as it has in
other parts of the field" Mon

WeStland-ECkel Loot Is
Found In Dynamite Gave

A large share of the loot stolen from
the Westland Oil company and the Eckel
Hardware company was discovered last
week by Wallace Martins small son in a
dynamite cave located near Shelby.
The Martin boy was playing on
Grandma" Martins homestead when
he accidently stumbled onto the cache.
He Immediately notified the authorities,
who brought the stuff to the sheriff S
office.
About half the merchandise stolen was
recovered. The Westland Oil company
recovered several inner tubes, tire chains
and spark plugs.
The Eckel Hardware company recov-
cred several boxes of cartridges, perhaps
$40 worth of merchandise in all, while
their loss was four times that figure.
1t is believed by local police that this
job, and several others recently perpe
trated in town, was the work of local
parties and surveillance of several per-
sons is under way.-Shelby Promoter.

Cash & Carry Store
Now Doing Business

Griggs Brothers, proprietors
of the Cash & Carry store open
ed their place Of business Mon
day with a large supply Of Gro
ceries. The Cash & Garry is To-
Gated in the old Stevens building
just south of the post Office.
Judging from prices announced
in the Review this week in the
ad of the Cash & Carry, we pre-
dict that this place will do good
share of business, as it is hard
for any store to compete with
prices that they haye listed.
Riggs brothers have chain of
four stores now, and buying in
large quantities will make it pos
sible for them to sell goods
cheaper. Mr.. Ray Fife, broth
er-in-law of G. A. Griggs, will
have charge Of the Kevin store,
and the proprietors extend an
invitation to all to come in and
get acquainted, and they guar
antee to give you satisfaction in
every respect.

The District Judgeship

Don Rhoda, chairman of the Ex-Ser-
vice Mems League, says that in Teton
county there were only 200 democratic
votes cast to 998 republican on the dis
trict judgeship, showing that a great
many democrats voted for the Teton
county republican candidate, thus assur-
ing Choteau both the republican and
democratic candidates for this Office,
although even then ]. H. Stevens was
defeated by only 67 vots in the four
counties in the district Mr.. Rhoda says
that the Ex-Service Mems League has
brought out Mr.. Stevens as an indepen-
dent candidate for district judge, as
there is only about one-ffth of the
courts business transacted in Teton
county, and more than two-ffths of it In
Toole county, with about one-ffth in
Glacier and one-fifth in Pondera. With
the county seats of Glacier and Pondera
counties only few miles distant from
Shelby, and easily accessible by railroad
as we'll as auto, and with two-ffths of
the courts business transacted in Toole
county, Shelby is considered the most
central and the logical place for the dis
trict judges headquarters, especially
during the next few years development

Two Sands are Wedge
Like in Two Directions

A test Of the Carter-L Lind No.
well in Sc seA swA, 2-35 2 W
Kevin field, shows that it is g
very small well, although it off
sets t h e Homestake-W hitmar
which had an initial of 140 bar
rels per day. Commenting on the
completion, Fred Platt of the
Northern Oil Field Information
Bureau, says:
"They had only one and one
half feet Of tight sand and that
was very limey and unless they
were drilling in a shell and more
sand is found below it, the well
will not amount to much. There
are two interesting things about
this well: First they found some
100000 feet of gas in the Sun
burst sand from 1430 to 1895, a
35-foot sand, while the Home
stake-Whitman No. 1, an offset
east, did not even get a sand in
this horizon, second, the Carter
well is IA feet lower structurally
than the Whitman well. The first
fact shows how the Sunburst
sand can pinch out in matter of
$50 feet, and the second how the
Ellis sand can vary in the same
distance, and probably explains
why this we'll has had such a
poor showing so far"

Two Citizens Of
Shelby Are Off
DriI|ers For Life
Two County Seat Merchants
Gets Heaps" Experience
Around Oil Well.

Shelby, Sept. Is. Two of Shell
by's business men are off drillers
for life after experiencing one OF
their ideas of a joke. The facts
are these. A driller recently was
handicapped for life when an
original idea popped into his head.
Taking off one Of his shoes he
leaned over the sump heap and
made several footprints around
the edge of the treacherous stuff
He then crawled back into the
derrick and awaited develop
ments. He was not disappointed.
In short time a car approached
and two merchants from Shelby
stepped out to make tour of in
spection of the drilling we'll.
Walking around the rig and see
ing footprints leading across
what was apparently solid ground
the first merchant made flying
leap and landed up to his knees
in the sump. His companion miss
ed like fate by a great balanc-
ing stunt, wi t h arms going
around like Windmills, to the edi-
fication and great delight of the
crew who had been let in on the
big idea. The remarks of the first
merchant are not printable, but
when walking around a rig these
days he is seen carrying a cane
with which to test the ground
before taking a chance regard
less of how many footprints have
proceeded him. Note: For furth-
er information see employees at

Rumors current for several
weeks that oil acreage deals of
much consequence are under con-
sideration in the Kevin field have
been traced to negotiations under
way between ]. j. Craig, presi-
dent of the Northwestern Finance
company of Minneapolis, and a
number of land owners in the

cording to oil men who profess
to have conclusive information.
Mr.. Craig has returned to Min
neapolis after spending some
time in the Kevin field and is ex-
pected to return during the pre-
sent month.
Mr.. Craig said in Great Falls
while en- route east that it was
true that he is dealing for
large amount of acreage in north

associates have plans far advanc-
ed for an extensive development
program. Deals now pending

Queen City Is
Starting Its No.
Seven Well
Rigging Up on It's More Perm 1t
Having Drilled Out It's
South Line.

The Queen City Oil company is
rigging up on its No. 7 location
which is one location north of its
No. 8 producer. The new loca-
tion is in the center of the west
line of the set nw4 of section D.
34-2w, and also an offset to the
Johnson-Corey No. 1 to the north
east and the Johnson-Corey No.
to the east, which is now drill
ing. The Queen City No. 7 will
be spudded in at once.
Intrusion of water in the John
son-Corey No. / was taken as an
indication of the existence of a
water line north of the Queen
City producers, but completion
Of the Homestake-Holloran No.
/ in section 33-35-2w, across 40
acres to the north, has left con-
siderable doubt. The completion
of a big we'll on the Queen City's
southeast corner location was al
SO a surprise. many fearing a
water well because the wells east
of this line have developed some
water. The presence of water in
the several wells of this field is
attributed in most cases to too
much swabbing which pulls in
the water ahead of the oil. The
modern method is to "skim" the
oil, hold back the flush produc-
ton rather than to try to deyel-
op record breaking production.
The Queen City is making no
start towards offsetting t h e
Homestake-H Holloran. Both wells
are on government permits and
does not require an
immediate offset.

test of the field, encountered sui
phur water at 1902 feet. There
was considerable showing of
oil in stray sand at 1920 feet
and the hole will be bridged back
to that sand, where there was 81
feet of saturation, and shoot it
with 40 quarts of nitro glycerine.

October 1.
Mr.. Craig's syndicate n W
owns the north half of section
1926 1w, and this acreage will
be drilled regardless of what may
be the outcome of pending deals,
he stated. Mr.. Craig has long
been associated with the oil in
dustry in Texas and other mid
continent territories and he as
serted when in Great Falls that
his examination of the northern
Montana field shows that area to
hold greater promise for the op-
orator than any other in which
he has interests.
Deals for acreage which Mr..
Craig has under way are said to
embrace tracts that count for
much in the Kevin territory. 1t

the situation that the entry of
the Craig syndicate would place
an entirely new aspect on the

ment operations would inevita-

Whitman Makes 1000
Barrels Tied Down
Flow From Well Being Con-
troIIed With Difficulty; Prom
ises to be Field Prize.

The Whitman Corey-Sunburs
No. 2 well, section 1872 w, il
with difficulty being held dowr
to flow of 1000 barrels a day
and would produce at much
greater rate if not held under
control.
The we'll now is connected with
a two-inch pipe and it promises
to maintain it's rank as one OF
the best wells in the field. Ur
to late Saturday, there had been
no apparent decline in the pro-
duction and with the entire alb
sence of water the we'll is looked
upon as one of the prizes of the
Kevin area.
The Crumley No. 5, an offset
to the Shoshone No. 6, which
came in Friday night on the neA
seA section 4-34-2 W, is rated at
a 100-barrel well, but due to the
tight formation swabbing was
necessary. The well was shot
this week in hopes Of increasing
production.
Considerable activity is evident
in the field, particularly in the
southwestern portion and south
of the Corey group. Several
rigs are being moved to location
and general activities are show
ing a tendency to speed up. The
Foster-Sweeney has moved its
derrick and equipment to loca-
tion near the Corey group and
will spud in within short time.

Gas Still! Troubles
Bowes Test Well
Unusually Great is the Press
ure Of Gas in This Well and
Causing DrilIers Trouble.

The Bowes structure test wei
has been troubled with gas agair
the past week. The drilling opera
tions were Interrupted by the
gas breaking out again. The flow
was again cased off in a few days
and operations resumed. The gas
pressure is unusually great in
this we'll and has given the drill
ers almost continual trouble.
1t seems probable that the field
will be the scene of a second test
this year, this time a straight
gas test. Messrs Dan Boyd, B.
N. Forbes, Hammond and West
drove over from Billings and
went out to look over the field.
The company they represent had
been given a contract on some
acreage held by local parties on
the structure and they were in
specting the layout. Water for
drilling is a serious problem on
the structure this summer and
that feature was given special
consideration. No definite an
nouncement was made Of their
plan, however, altho is consider
ed probable that they will test
the acreage they have secured,
