AHEAD OF CAT CREEK

Helena, Oct. 24.-The Kevin-Sun-
burst field now leads Cat Creek in
production, according to report Of the
Illinois pipeline to the state board of
utilities for quarter ending September

among oil men that the north produc-
ton is increasing steadily at a rate
above the south field.
According to the report of the Hi
nois company that concern transported
from the field to the railroad during
the months Of July, August and Sep
tember, 397,743 barrels of oil, while
the run from the Cat Creek field, as
reported for those three months by
the Mutual Oil company, which owns
the pipe lines serving that field, was
365,890 barrels, the total movement
from the two fields for the quarter be-
ing 1858 barrels, or an average of
254,544 barrels per month.

CAMPBELL TO SELL OIL TRACT

An oil acreage deal, second only ir
Importance to the drilling of the dis
covery well in the Kevin-Sunburst
field, by which Gordon Cambpell in
terests will relinquish title to IL 40
acre tracts for consideration said to
be 100000, was reported well adj
vanced toward consummation Sunday
night. The tracts of land involved is
believed to be near the town Of Kelvin.
Rumors link the name of P Chester
Thompson, an oil operator who has
been drilling in southern Alberta, as
being interested in the deal. Mr..
Thompson has been in Great Falls
much of the time during the last week
but when questioned Sunday night re-
fused to discuss the deal and referred
qestioners to his attorney, S. c. Ford
of Helena, who is also counsel for
Campbell.
The deal is said to be well adj
Vanced and those who claim to be IN
a position to know say that consid-
erable amount of money has already
been paid by the interests dealing
with Campbell. 1t has been rumored
for several weeks that big deal was
in the making by which Campbell
would dispose of some of his holdings
and these reports also have it that en-
cumbrances en- titles have been the
chief obstacle in the way of closing
the deal.
Gordon Campbell was in Great Falls
Sunday night comforting with Mr..
Ford but neither could be found to
confirm the reported sale.-Great

The Adams-Andersen Invest
ment company brought in their
Adams-Hibbing No. l well Sat
urday, located in the sW NV NV
31-35 lw, oil was encountered at
the depth of ,452 feet, the oil
rose over 700 feet in the casing
in very few minutes, and about
six hours later there was over
1,2O0 feet Of oil in the hole. This
we'll is estimated to make from
$50 to 200 barrels. The oil is
now flowing through a tWo-inch
line steady since that time. 1t is
seemingly the largest producer,
to date, encountered in the east
side of the field and is evidently
located on the EmmonS fault line
where the Big West and Sho-
shone group Of producers found
their large production. 1t has
long been contended by many
operators that this faulted con-
-dition extends across township
34-2w, with cross fractures runn-
ing north rnd south and the COM
pletion Of this we'll with large
production tends to prove this
theory as correct. A bunch Of
business men from Hibbing,
Mimi, are financially interested
in this we'll hence the name of
the we'll Adams Hibbing, not the
Adams -Shuster, as has been re-
ported.

rative account Of the fight Of the
early settlers against the Indians
and their trouble with cattle rustlers
from Mexico. He gave In particular
detail the early experience Of the
valley settlers with the Espinosa
brothers, famous bandits who for .
long time succeeded in evading the
law and the settlers until they were
finally killed by Tom Tobin. a
rancher Of the San Luis valley.
A reward of $4,000 for the cap
ture of the Espinosa brothers, dead
or alive had been offered by the
government and the rancher went
out alone into the hills. carrying his
rations with him and finally sue

the rancher received payment OF the
reward for which he had risked his
