Drill Gas Well on
Bowes Structure

Material and timber is being
hauled out this week to the Bow
es structure for a second we'll on
that structure. The intention is
to develope the gas flow of that
structure for commercial use.
The immense gas pressure that
was found in the test we'll has
excited much interest outside of
the field and a company has been
formed to exploit the gas that
IL present in such unusual volume
there. A start is to be made as
soon as rig can be put up to
drill a gas well on tract of land
near the CALIFORNIA; test well.
The equipment is being gathered
here at Chinook and the crew is
gathering for immediate opera
itions.
The gas flow in this structure
is believed to be valuable not on
Iy for commercial use as gas but
for the gasoline that can be ex-
tracted from it before it is sold
for heating purposes.
The promoters of the new gas
proposition believe h a t the
Bowes field has been proven as
commercially valuable n the
strength of the gas it will pro-
duee regardless of what the COM
pletion of the California test may
show as to the oil deposits.
The gas we'll is to be put down
on the section adjoining the site
of the California test we'll on
acreage the California had taken
over. A rig is being brought in
from Shelby and it is understood
that equipment for the gasoline
absorption plant is on the way
here. The extraction of the gas
oline is the main purpose of the
immediate operations.
Dan Boyd o f Billings and
President Hammond of the Ham
mond Engineering company of
Denver arrived here last week
to make the arrangements for
the gas well operationg. Mr..
Boyd is the man who put the
Bowes proposition in shape for
the California test and has been
working out the negotiations for
the gas we'll venture.
The details of the agreements
that cover the new venture and
the plans for earring it out have
not been given out. Chinook

Crude Oil Outlook
Grows Brighter,
Say Producers
Decline in Light Production and
Present Price Level Believed
to Bring Change.

| According to the Wall Street
Journal, crude oil outlook, from
the point Of view of reduction in
the amount of oil being produced
in the midcontinent district, is
showing Improvements, accord
ing to the head of producing de-
partment of one large company
who adds that crude situation is
considerably healthier.
The last several weeks, he says,
haye witnessed developments in
several active producing districts
which foreshadow rather gener-
al decline in light oil production
in midcontinent field.
A further helpful factor is that
price levels for crude oil, in his
opinion, should act as deterrent
to the general run Of producers
Wlldcattlng in n Nv districts.
With CT de prices remaining
around present levels, he feels
the next few months will see a
decided change for the better in
the crude oil situation.
Among the more active dis
tricts in which developments in
dicate peak of production has
passed is the prolific deep sand
area in the Tonkawa pool. Early
in August, Tonkawa was down
to $4,000 barrels day, but with
discovery of new deep sand,
which was rapidly drilled, the
pool ran over 10000 barrels

Caliatin County Is Heaithiest
Community In HeaIthiest State

Du1kng the first quarter OF the
year 1923 Montana had the lowest
mortality of any state in the Union,
according to the reports of the Unit
ed States Department OF Commerce,
and the State of Maryland had the
highest. This department found that
the Montana mortality for the first
three months Of 1925 show a death
rate of 1O.1 per thousand, while the
Maryland death rate is 1873 per
thousand. This may be attributed to
several different causes, among them
climate, pure water, and health IN
spection and prevention.
