Butte II ailor, After 40
Years aiting Strikes
A Rich Lead of Ore

A tailor forty years in Montana,
investing his earnings year after
year In mining property near
Marysviiie, William Ouriot, who
conducts a shop In Butte, recently
received several assay reports that
give an Indication OF the fulfill
ment of his LIES dream, and re-
aIization OF his Investment which
he made year after year with the
money he worked for.
A vein struck a few days ago In
the Florence mine, returned assay
reports from s12 to $40 ton in
gold and an average of five ounces
OF silver to the ton. The most pro-
missing angle of the new strike Is
that the lead is 35 feet wide and the
character OF the ore Is like all ore
found In the Marysville district,
free milling and easy to treat.
Mr.. Oerlet and associates control
five claims in the Maryscvile dis
trict known as the Sires Mining COM
pany. The property is located In
Saw Mil gulch, on the same noun
tain as is located the famous Drum
Lummon, but on the opposite side.

Members of the state land settle

three-quarters of a million dollars
in advertising the northwest within
the next Is months.
Information relative to agricultur-

Billings olytechnic
Winter Term to Open
ON November Tenth

In order to meet the demands
of young men and young women
who cannot enter school regularly
at the opening OF the term and who
must leave before the close Of
school i'm the spring, the Billings
Polytechnic institute Is opening
winter term, beginning November
10th, to run for eighteen weeks.
1t is offering classes in all CONNER
cial subjects, including shorthand,
typewriting, bookkeeping, civil pen
manship and spelling. In grade sub
jects 1t is offering history, grammar,
and arithmetic. Special courses are
offered In practical electricity, ell
ectricity for the car; radio, auto
mechanics, farm Carpentry; and ag-
riculture.
Vocal and instrumental music al
so are included In the curriculum.
The entrance requirements will be
based upon the ability of the student
to do the work for which he enrolls.
The cost has been set at a very low
figure, and will not exceed for the
eighteen weeks, for board, room and
tuition, not including the fees. $165.
Age is no barrier to enrolment at
the Billings Polytechnic Institute.
Many are already taking the courses
who failed to receive the advantage
of schooling when in their teens.
The facility consists of people who
are in sympathy with those who have
been denied the early opportunity
for education. They are well prepar-
ed, holding college degrees, and many
of them with long years of exper-
fence In the teaching profession.

History of Oil In Wyoming Reads
Like Fiction--Indians First Used
Seepage For Medicinal Purposes

resources which would come into full
realization as time and civilization
progressed
Probably the first discovery of pc
troleum In Wyoming was by the In
dians who gathered the fluid from
the oil seeps and used 1t for medi-
cinal purposes. As early as 18A9 at a
place now called Hilliard In Uinta
county petroleum spring was known
to exist. Emigrants on the old Ore
gon TRAIL, 1t ia said, collected the
oil and used 1t for medicinal purposes
and for greasing their wagon wheels.
The First Discovery
Zone of the early Wyoming pio-
neers In the oil industry was Cy
Iba. He first made bis appearance
In Wyoming in 1851 when passing
through on his way to the mines
of California and other points. Be
ing prospector and miner he was
a keen observer of mineral proper,
ties and his attention was drawn to
the oil seeps then known. Iba
with Jim Bridger, Kit Carson and
others, collected oil from q spring
on Poison Spider at that time, mixed
1t with flour and sold the product to
emigrants for axle grease. Ii was
probably the first commercial mar
keting of Wyoming's petroleum.
The First Location.
Being a man of vision Mr.. Iba
continued his search for precious me-
tails in the Pacific country, but fin
ally returned to the Black Hills
country in the quest of gold. Dur
ing the early eighties, disappointed
at the prospects of finding gold In
in the Atlantic City and South Pass
districts, with some associates he
was induced to remain In this Inn
mediate section and In 1888 MIR. Iba
placed his first location stake on the
east half of Section IL, Township
40 North, Range 70 West, known as
the Salt creek oil field. At that
time locations we're made under the
placer mining law entailing a neces-
sity for digging trenches. sinking
shafts In making open cuts IN devel-
optng Oil seeps for assessment pur-
poses. In this manner. Mr.. Iba be-
came very closely connected with oil
development In wyoming
THE first flowing well to be drill
cd in the state was in the Dallas
field in 1888. and about the same
time ranchers in the Big Horn Basin
used oil from spring at Bonanza
for illuminating purposes. The
wells drilled in the Shannon pool
just north of what Ia now known as
the famous Salt creek field, came In
during 1889 and 1890.
During 1895 and 1897, Iba and
some OF his associates made new To-
cations and some OF the claims were
carried to patent ns early as 1896.
BY this time outsiders saw the pos
sibilities OF petroleum In Wyoming,
and French, Dutch, Belgian, Eng
lish, Canadian and American capital
became interested In the early de-
velopment of the district with vary
ing successes.
Discovery of shannon Field.
Among those attracted to the
state was Phillip M. Shannon, well
known as an operator In Pennsyl-
vania oil fields. In 1889 he ac-
quired interests north OF the Salt
Greek field, organized the Pennsyl-
vania OIL and Gas company, and de-

Some Important Facts.
IAN army of breadwinners are
employed In the oil fields OF Wyom-
ing. Last year, 1923, $4,000, 900
was paid these workers alone, III, 900
of them. and 1t is estimated the de-
pendents totalied $4,000.
1.-THE oil industry In Wyoming is
paying out in wages daily nearly
$4,000.
'Since the beginning of the oil
industry, according to the Oil and
Gas Journal, approximately $4,000
100000 has been placed In legiti-
mate channels of oil field develop
ment and operation In the United
States. Only $500, 100000 has
been returned from the sale of crude
oil produced. Thus there remains a
deficiency of $1,000, 100000, which
takes into consideration only the pro-
per, legitimate costs In searching for
and producing crude.
''As an illustration OF the hazards
of the petroleum industry, more than
fifty dry holes were drilled In Wyo-
ing alone during the past few years
entailing net cost of more than s2,-
100000. 1t Is pointed out by the Oil

Neil O'Brien and Bert Swor came to Birmingham Thursday night for a three-day engagement at the Jefferson theatre. Those whose tastes run to ministrelsey jokes with the flavor of the old plantation in them, songs .sug- gestive of steamboats on southern rivers, and dances that seem to have a background of log cabin-inother words, the old-fashioned negro minstrel-- should not miss an opportunity to see them.
 It could not be a negroiminstrel with out the end-men, who were unusually clever, even for end-men, although they did manage to tell few jokes that should have been ruled because oftheir age. It was only occasionally. however. that an old joke was told. and most of them were both new and clever, so clever that at times the applause was well-night continuous. No doubt Neil O'Brien and Bert Swor wer ethe fa- vorites of the evening, but they shared honors with "Sugarfoot" Gaffney, Richard Tourney, Billy Henderson and half dozen others.
 There were several songs that brought a touch of sentiment to the whole per formance, especially, e'Why Don't My Dreams Come True?" Till I'm Called by the Master Above" Carolina Nanny" and That Old Gang Of Mine
 A street car sketch, Pay As You Enter and several others blending singing. dancing and humor. came in the second act and gave the various members of the cast chance to respond to several encores.

 Ia Flaming Youth" Miss Moore pertrays modern .'flapperish" hoy den, young girl, reared in an at- mosphere where reckless pleasure seems to be the only consideration
 In the role of Patricia Fentriss, a charming, native and unsophisticated young society girl, Miss Moore has a part to which she is especially adapt ed. She handles the part most eff fectiyely. Her interpretations of the different phases of this girls life are exceedingly well drawn-the comedy touches are not overdone and in the tense parts of the play she demon strates an unusual ability in the ham ding of dramatic parts and proves beyond doubt that this talented ac- tress, k heretofore famous for her comedy roles, is as much at home in parts calling for strong emotional act ing.
