Moving Along Rapidly

The Foster-Hull-l l-l1arson No. /,
in the sW sw sw, 12-33-1w, is
drilling above the Sunburst sand
which they should reach in few
more feet. They will undoubted-
ly encounter a big flow Of gas in
that sand as did the MCGUIRE

the Sunburst-Sewart in section 8
of the same township. The Nc

is again drilling below 1850 feet,
having resumed work after sever
al months shutdown as result
of the rig burning down last
winter. They should be complet-
ed within the next few days and
these tests are being watched
with interest by oil men here,
many Of whom are of the opinion
that this extreme eastern part of

c Celebration Good at
Sunburst Saturday

The celebration at Sunburst
Saturday was a huge success in
every respect. The races were
good and showed that the north
end of the county still have some
real fast horses. The crowd was
large and the city of Sunburst
did all that they claimed they
would to make the visitors feel
welcome. The ball game between
Shelby and Sunburst was one of
the best staged this season, Sun
burst winning in the ninth inn
ing by score of 8 to 9. Editor j.
F. Kavanaugh of the Shelby Pro-
moter umpired the game. The
dance in the evening at the Arch
Theatre was attended by one of
the largest crowds in the history,
there not being room to accom-
modate near all of the dancing

This we'll was drilled last year
but the depth is not known as
the log has been lost. The we'll

ed by many that when the well
was shut down, there was oil
standing in the hole, aud with
the work rushed through, under
the directions of Shorty Carew
and Mel Alexander h e well
should be a completion soon. Mr..
Campbell will also complete the
No. 5 we'll a short distance north
of the Goeddertz well, which was
drilled to a considerable depth
last fall, he will also drill a well
near the Campbell-Stewart pro-
ducer.

Heavy Gas Flow
Blows Tools Out

A heavy flow of gas at the Pot
latch deep test well, ne Sc NV
sectien 21-34-1 W, blew a string
of six-inch tools out of the hole
late Saturday night and partially
demolished the derrick. The tools
had been left hanging on a
wrench at the top Of the hole
when the crew left. The gas
blew out a bridge at the bottom
of the hole, hurled the tools out
of the top and damaged the der
rick. Reports from the we'll the
first Of the week were that
operations will resume within a
few Gays. The hole now is 3,085
feet deep and the gas is flowing
in neads at thr1c- hour intervals.
A terrific noise is made by the
gas when it blows in, according
to those who have been at the
we'll.

Wyomont- -Stannard 4
Drilled in Last Week

The Wyomont-Stannard No. a.
NV ne 25-35-2 W, was drilled into
the Ellis sand Friday. Nearly
1000 feet of oil was stand in the
casing Saturday night. They are
awaiting the arrival of Mr.. Essex
from Calgary before drilling
farther into the sand. This well
is in the Empire of Montana
group in the eastern end of the
field where the sand runs about
20 feet or more thick. The other
wells completed by this company
have had from 80 to $50 barrels
initial production. 1t is reported
that tn we'll shows up far better
than any we'll drilled previously
by this company.

No. 5
Is a Good Well

The Shoshone No. 5. c NV Sc
section 4-34-2w, which was COM
pleted last week, is flowing at
the rate of IS barrels an hour or
better. The Ellis sand was reach
ed at the depth of 1870 feet.
This we'll is regarded second only
to the Shoshone No. 4, the big
gusher of the field. which has
now settled into a 700 barrel well
after a flush production of 1850
barrels when first brought in.
The Shoshone No. 6 will be
spudded in within a few days. A
rig is being moved to the loca-
ton. 1t is a direct offset to the
Queen City No. 6 and east offset
to the Crumbly- y-McKnight No. 5,
which is being rugged.

Giant Company
In New Office

At the Montana Giant refinery
they have completed the steam
still and the gas is being re-run.
This institution, is probably the
busiest place in the city, this
week the company shipped out
three cars of product.
The fine new office has been
completed and the officials are
now occupying same, which is
great relief to the many clerks
in charge.
Mr.. G.. Grafton, o f Seattle,
arrived last week and is the head
accountant at this institution.
The writer made a trip to Con-
rad last Sunday and while there
was in conversation with one of
the retailers of the Giant pro-
ducts. We were informed by
this dealer that the only gas
that he could dispose of was the
Montana-Giant gas, although he
was handling the Mutual pro-
ducts. He claims that in short
time that nothing will be used in
the state except Montana pro-
ducts, and says that the gas turn
ed out by the Giant company will
test up with the highest grades.

Ellis Formation.

In conformity with and lyinI
Immediately underneath h
Kootenai Formation is the Elli
Formation of Jurassic age. Th,
upper half is a fresh water for
nation consisting Of gray sane
with alternating layers of biacl
shale. The lower half Of the
Ellis Formation is the black, rot
tod lime, Immediately underneath
this black lime is a brown sandy
porous limestone, and it is in this
part of the Ellis Formation that
most of the oil at Kevin is found
This oil bearing, porous, sandy
limestone averages from l5 to &c
feet in thickness, The entire
thickness of the Ellis Formation
is 215 feet.
Madison Limestone.
Immediately underneath t h e
Ellis Formation is the white Mad
ison Lime. There are two deep
test wells being drilled now in
the oil field under discussion and
one of them, the Potlatch-Adams
deep test just finished drilling
through the Madison Lime find
ing good show of oil at the
lower contact of same and also
encountered a million and one
half cubic feet of natural gas,
this discovery at the lower con-
tact Of the Madison is conclusive
proof that the under lying for
nation or the Devonian carries
oil and it is the concensus of
opinion of the geologists and oil
fraternity that the Mother Pool
of oil in the Kevin field lies in
the Devonian Formation. imme-
diately underneath the Madison
Lime and that the migration Of
the oil is upward from the Moth
er Pool instead of hooizontal.
If such is the case, the field
under discussion has the most
future for heavy oil
production of any oil field in the
Rocky Mountain Region.
Deductions.
There are two kinds of heavy
producing oil structures, namely:
OIL DOMES
Generally caused by the major
uplift Of hugh igneous intrusions.
ANTI cLINALs FOLDS
Caused by the fexing, folding
and buckling Of the crust of the
earth back away from the igne-
GUS intrusions.
Both these structural condi-
tions exists in the territory under
discussion. the major uplift be-
ing the Sweetgrass Arch and
upon this major
uplift are numerous Anti Clinal
Folds which makes this immedi-
ate territory very promising
field for exploration.
Conditions.
The conditions for drilling any
place on Barnes Brothers land is
ideal, same being not far from
water used in drilling and only
a miles from the Great North
ern Railroad and six miles from
the town of Kevin. Good coun-
try roads extend from railroad
track to this land. Drilling con-
tractor w. E. Burks of Sunburst,
Montana, has agreed to finish
drilling a test we'll on this land
within eight weeks from the
time same is spudded in for a
cost of seven dollars per foot and
he (Burks) furnishes everything.
Conclusions.
There are several wells in the
Kevin field completed each week

Topography.
The surrounding country is of
a rolling prairie nature with the
north line Of Barnes Brothers
holdings being the highest point
for three or TOUR miles in every
direction. There is a sharp dip
in the elevation one-eight of a
mile northeast of this land. A
small stream flows in this declev-
Iity. Due north of this land z or
Is miles is faulted condition
crossin this escarpment are some
large springs which furnish wat
er for the town Of Kevin. This
faulted condition no doubt ex-
tends out into the fiat passing
across the Northeast corner of
Barnes Brothers land and it is
we'll to bear in mind in connec-
tion with same that the heaviest
oil production in the Kevin field
is found on the High" along the
fault line. The Shoshone No. 4
we'll, that is the biggest gusher
in the field making twelve thous-
and barrels a day when drilled
in, is on high point on the Ke-
vim Fault.
The Glacial Drift and Alluvium
on above described land is be-
tween 25O and 300 feet thick
therefore this faulted condit on
only shows in a very few places.
The high point on B ar n s
Brothers holdings is a. miles
from the railroad. there is also
fall Of 62 feet from this point to
the railroad thereby giving the
gravity fall for the pipe line
when oil is found. There is re-
lief to the north Of 118 feet in
three miles, relief to the east
os 70 feet in five miles, a relief
to the south of 81 feet in three
miles, and relief to the west of
SO feet in 81 miles.
Strutigrophy Colorado Shole.
AS stated in previous para
graph the glacial drift is $50 to
300 feet thick and lays upon the
top of the Mowry Member of the
Colorado Shale about $50 feet of
the Colorado has been eroded
leaving between 95O and 10000
feet of this formation.
kootenui.
The Kootenai is fresh water
formation Of the Comanchean or
a lower cretaceous period. This
Kootenai consists of APO feet of
varicolored shales with intermit-
tent stratas Of light colored sand
stone. In this Kevin field the
red, blue and green shales lay in
sequent stratas from the top
with yellow shaIe at the bottom.
Most of the gas and some of the
oil are found in this formation in
district under discussion.
