BYRNE NO. | WELL is
IN FOR 100 BARRELS

The Oil Producers-Byrne No.
l in the ne ne sw section 24-35-2
west which was completed the
last Of the week at l, ,495 feet is
estimated that the well will make
at least 100 barrels or better a
day when settled.
1t is located south Of the Wells
Zimmerman, California Mckee
wells and north of the so-called
Empire of Montana group. Pro-
duction in this part Of the field
is generally quite uniform and
every we'll is almost certain to
find production. This we'll was
formerly owned by the Mae Belle
Oil company and was taken over
some time ago by Ira Stanley,
Mr., McLay and others and is
financed by Canadian capital.
They own 80 acres in this section
taken over from the Sunburst
company and will undoubtedly
continue drilling out the lease.

MILLION AND HALF BBLS.
THRU ILLINOIS LINES

According to Fred Platt of the
Northern Oil Information Bureau
the total pipe line runs to Decem-
Der l by the Illinois Pipe Line
company was l. 1.446,66 barrels.
His statement continues to say
that this by no means indicates
the entire production Of the field,
as the Montana Giant company
has a pipe line of its own and the
Absher refinery is using large
amounts of crude which is haul
ed by trucks and also many of
the wells are not on any pipe line
but are selling their crude in the
field to other wells for drilling
purposes. His report also shows
that there are 215 producers in
comparison with less than 100
one year ago, also 16 commercial
gassers, 25 wells now drilling and
rigs up for 10 more. The pipe
line runs for November totalled
102,049 barrels, daily average
of about 1892 barrels. Mr.. Platt
states that this is considerably
less than the average for the pre-
ceding month. due to the fact
chat cold weather made it very
difficult for some operators to
get the water in the oil down to
pipe line requirements. In some
not half the oil that
could be run from a lease was run
on account Of that fact, and un-
til it had been reduced to pipe
line requirements the oil will not
be taken.

MANSFIELD INVADING
CITY OF new YORK

William Mansfield has gone tc
New York after having taken
over 800 acres one-half mile north
of the Corey, Shoshone and Queen
City groups, to complete financi-
al arrangements for drilling on
this acreage. The lease is on the
Minnie Mccormick farm in the
north half Of section 1882 w.
being purchased from the heirs
of the late Minnie Mccormick
for a cash consideration running
into several thousand dollars, the
exact amount not being known.
The lease first came into prom
imence with the completion Of
the Vanmeer No. l we'll on the
Storm permit, for which Mans
field was responsible. He had
only 40 acres in the district at the
time and as the Mccormick lease
is across the half section to the
north and was Unbiased at the
time he started out to get it. AL
lied with him was Charles F.
Gies, of Gies-Wis hit company of
Great Falls. Mansfield went to
Butte to gather together the doz-
en- or so heirs and found that an
option had been given on the
lease calling for 500 an acre
bonus. He sat down and waited
for the option to expire. Mean
while he became acquainted with
James Finlen, owner of the Fin
Ien hotel in Butte, and rated as
a millionaire. Finlen became in
in Mansfeld's project
and joined him.
Two wells will be started on
the Mccormick lease by April L,

COLONIAL COMPANY
MAKES THIRD VENTURE

An interesting test, in view Of
surface indications, is projected
by the newly organized Colonial
| Oil company, the third venture
of the year of Mel McCutcheon
and Alex Mavity, in this field.
Two former companies launched
by these men have proven very
successful and they haye started
a third company to drill an 80
acre lease near the Bill Thomas
IOil & Refining company group
Of wells. The lease is the south
east quarter of the southwest
quarter of section 7 and the
northeast quarter of section 49,
34-2 w.
Messrs. Mavity and McCutch-
con are in the field and expect to
let the drilling contract to Con-
tractor Guy Craig and to spot
the location of the first well.
Their first venture Of the pres
ent year was the Seattle-Foster
company, which completed the
Foster-Sweeney producer in Sec
ton ). This company is earning
at the rate Of 70 per cent per
year on the total capitalization
from the production Of its two
wells and has seven more loca-
tions to drill. The second venture
was h e Regal Oil company
which has one producer which Is
earning 20 per cent per year on
t h authorized capitalization.
This company has II more loca-
tions to drill, on its 80-acre lease.
The Colonial company is like
wise capitalized on 8O-acres, To-
Gated in triangle Of wells; the
Thomas group of producers three
quarters of a mile northeast; the
Schwartz Hurley half mile
northwest and the Guarantee
Lewis wells two miles southwest.

JOHNSON CLAIMS PIPE

| A dispatch from Shelby late
Monday evening said that, con-
trary to reports received in Great
Falls early in the day, Johnson
declared the Illinois line to be
then operating as usual despite.
weather conditions. but thaks- tt!,sa
syndicate we'll was not connects
ed with the line. The we'll was
connected with the pipe line Sun
day and was shut off the same
day, according to johnson, who
quoted representatives of the
Illinois as saying before the con-
nection was made that the oil
was acceptable. johnson confirm
ed Attorney Thielen's under
standing that the oil was reject
ed by the pipe line on the ground
that the tanks were not enclosed.
Great Falls Tribune.
Shelby, Dec. 16. The contro-
versy between the Illinois Pipe
Line company over the taking Of
oil from the new Johnson we'll
ended Tuesday night with the
syndicate's announcement that
as a result of conferences with
the state public unility commits
sion, crude will be carried from
the we'll by the pipe line beginn-
ing Wednesday morning. Ofici
ais of the syndicate said that the
pipe line management offered to
carry the oil Tuesday night, but
that an agreement was reached
to wait until Wednesday morn
ing because Of weathcr coi.di |
tions.
HeretofoIe, the pipe lire com
pany has declined to carry oil
showing more than one half of |
one per cent basic sediment and |
it apparently was not generally
that the maximum
fixed by the state commission is
two per cent. James A. Johnson,
head Of the Johnson syndicate,
said Tuesday night that his com
pany hereafter will insist on en-
forcement Of the two per cent
rule if crude is offered the pipe
line with sediment content that |
large. Since the controversy be-
tween the Johnson syndicate and
the pipe line management arose,
oil men claim that considerable
oil has been rejected by the line
that had more than one-half of
one per cent sediment, but less
than two per cent.
At 3'oclock Wednesday p. m.
Mr.. Lawler superintendent 0 f
The Montana Railroad commits
sion, reported to chairman Lee
Dennis by telephone, that in
with James Johnson
and son he weht to the Johnson
veil and had made six tests. four

c sediment, one showed AZ per

ng it.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-12-18

Accompanied by a request fol
an immediate investigation, re-
presentation has been made t(
the Montana state public utility
commission by James. A. johnson
of Shelby, head Of the johnson
syndicate, that the Illinois Pipe
Line company has refused to ae;
cept oil from the syndicate s
most recent completion, rated as
the largest well in the Kevin
field. Johnson's complaint was
laid before the commission by
telegraph. and in a telegram to
the pipe line management Mon
day the board asked to be inform
ed as to the situation.
Refusal Of the pipe line COM
pany to accept the Johnson syndi-
cate oil was baised on the claim
that the tankage at the we'll is
not enclosed so as to maintain a
temperature that would facilitate
the passage Of the crude through
the pipe, according to j. N. Thel-
en- of Great Falls, counsel for the
syndicate. The oil was offered to
the pipe line in the same condi-
ton as that from all other wells
in the field, none of the tankage
being enclosed as demanded of
the Johnson syndicate, Mr.. Thel-
en- stated.
"The refusal of the pipe line
company to accept the syndicate's
oil leaves us without means of
transporting the new wells out
put and forced the crew to shut
the flow entirely off," said Mr..
Thelen Monday. "That may re-
suit in an injury to the well and
we are anxious to receive a rul-
ing from the commission as soon
as possible. The analysis Of the
product shows it to be 100 per-
cent oil and Mr.. Johnson SO in
formed the commission. Not a
trace of water has been discover
ed. We see no reason why the
we'll should not be connected
with the pipe line and we pro-
posed to bring the matter to an
issue without delay.
"All Of our tankage at the
well is full as we'll as the sumps
and everything else that could
be pressed into service as con-
tainer. All of it is awaiting trans
portation through the pipe line.
Several thousand barrels of oil is
situated in this way. 1t was re-
ported Monday that weather con-
ditions had forced complete |
shut down of the pipe line, in
which case our we'll would be
situated the same as all others,
but the position taken by the
pipe line management, if continu-
ed, would leave us without means
