county district court and on ter
mination Of this litigation he de
livered lease to Charles M
Brinton, who seeks to have his
rights established.
/ Corey also represented to the
Sunburst Oil & Gas company that
the lease to Campbell was invalid
4 because its terms relative to
drilling operations had not been
complied with. He made his re-
presentations and demands prior
to the time that operations began
ron the tract.
The defendants tegan opera
tions on the land involved in the
lease about May 1, 1924. The
complaint alleges that the defen-
.lants have taken from the pro-
perty in excess of S300,0O0 in oil
and gas, which has been remov-
ed from the property and from
the state and continue these
operations.
This tract, according to Louis
P. Donovan of Shelby, attorney
for the plaintiff. is one of the
best leases in the north Montana
field. On the sub-leases the John
son Signal Hill syndicate is said
to be interested in 40 acres,
Crumley & Mcknight in 80 acres
and F. S. Whitman, Tillie Jane
Yealy and Jennie L. Schwab in
80 acres, the Sunburst, however,
retaining the biggest percentage
of royalty.
The lease to Campbell was on
a 121z per cett royalty basis, the
same basis as the lease which
Cory gave to Brinton.
In the Toole county district
court, Corey's suit resulted in
for the Sunburst Oil &
company, and accord
ing to Donovan. the question
presented in the main issue was
whether a homesteader entry
man prior to obtaining a patent
can legally grant an oil and gas
lease. Corey appealed. While the
matter was in the supreme court
and after the argument had been
heard, Corey signed a division
order under which the royalties
were to be allotted under the
of the Corey Campbell
lease. The supreme court then
dismissed the appeal.
The present suit raises the
further question of the perfor-
of the requirements of
the contract in addition to seek
ing to establish the status of q
homestead entryman relative to
the executing of lease before he
has obtained patent to the land.
The identical questions involved
in the case have never been settl-
ed, Donovan says. Great Falls

Booster For KeOin

E. A. Durham, president OF
the Western Petroleum Explora-
tion company and other Durham
companies, recently visited Kew
in-Sunburst field. Upon his re-
turn to West Virginia the Trico
News, house organization of the
Durham companies. printed the
following:
Even with the slump in the
oil market and many companies
curtailing production in various
sections of the country, the Kew
in-Sunburst field in Montana is
very active and new wells are be-
ing drilled in every day, accord
ing to President E. D. Durham
of the Trico Organization, who
recently returned from a trip to
the operations of the Western
Petroleum Exploration. Mr.. Dur
ham states in the territory where
Western Pet. EX. is operating,
the oil business has expanded
wonderfully since his last visit
of a little more than a year ago.
In the Kevin field, according to
a recent report, there are now
378 producing wells, with Al wells
and locations spotted for
IA more many of which no doubt,
have already been spudded in.
A comparatively short time ago.
it was thought the oil producing
area was limited to small Sec
ton, whereas it has now extend
ed out over a large territory. The |
most prolific area seemed to be
in the eastern part Of the Kevin |
field as a number of big wells |
have been brought in making |
better than thousand barrels a
day.
Western Pet. Elk. has develop
I'd fair-sized production in Mon
Jana field, the Berglin lease par
5icularly has been a fine asset to
he company. At the present
lime, Western Pet. Elk. is drilling
IN what is known as the Emil
Noe lease with good prospects
If finding production. There is,
however, the big hazard, with
which every company has to deal
When drilling in this section and
hat is the spotted condition Of
he acreage. 1t seems to be the
nature of the country to find dry
loIes offsetting big producing
wells.
Montana is fast coming to the
ront as an oil state and skimm-
ng plants and small refineries
re springing up in many places.
During the last seven months of
his year, Montana produced L. i
03,O00 barrels Of oil or an in (
rease of $4,000 barrels over the |
tate's output for the same per-
ID in 1924. During July alone /
Iontana averaged 1876 barrels
f crude daily.
Recently the Company has
loved it's headquarters from
Ireat Falls to Shelby, which has
realty facilitated the transaction {
business due to the fact that I
he latter place is near the oper- c
tions.

POCKETS ADORN

FROCKS
Unitarian Value Is Small But
Decorative Effect Is
Sought
By ALICE LANGELIER
international News Service

PARIS, Sept. 22.-Mere man is
not superior to woman just because
he has pockets in all his clothes. for
this season will see almost as many
in the smart frocIs coming from
the dressmakers.
The woman of the winter is most
likely to have at least one pocket
by wav of decoration. The utilitar-
ian value of it is scarcely worth
while mentioning. for it is quite
limited. being only about large
enough to carry q wisp of georg-
cite handkerchief. BY way Of dec
grafton. however. it holds an i'm
portant place. At times it deter
mines the whole style and line of
a dress.
: The pocket sometimes indicates
the waistline whether alone or in a
pair. One OF the newest frocks in
pink cloth with its only decoration
a pair OF pockets set lust below
the natural Waistline and Nembroid-
cred in pastel shades. Another in
sealIbrown crepe ,Ylnarocain is en-
livened by a basket Of chenille
flowers forming a pocket on one
side. The pocket is of particular
value when introducing a note Of
color and variety.
On an afternoon frock in soft
beige crepe de chine there is q
little pocket Of leather with an APP
plique design OF pink rosebuds. Al
dress Of black and white has a
small pocket of the material out
lined in beads of crystal and Opaque
white. Another in black and beige
has the lace which is slightly "old"
looking for pocket on one side
of the skirt. Bits Of brilliant Rus
sian embroidery put colorful
touches on dark dresses and
pockets Of fur are to be found on
many of the newest coats.
Even on sports clothes the
pocket, which is useful In this. case,
at least, has developed decorative
possibilities. A beaded dress in
pongee has bright pocket Of green
crepe de chine On white tennis
frocks there are the same motifs in
crimson or magenta. SILK jersey
costumes have pockets embroidered
In pastel shades.

SIBERIAN GOLD FIND
LURES PROJECTORS

MOSCOW, Sept. 22.-Gold dis
coveries in the vicinity Of Upper
Angara, at the northern end of
Lake Baika1, in southern Siberia,
have caused rush Of prospectors
from all over Russia. No means
OF transportation exists to the gold
fields from Irkutsk, the nearest
railroad station. Prospectors are
forced to make the long trek On
foot, over mountain trails impass-
able for horses.
Fears are expressed that many
will perish IL winter catches the
gold diggers without properly equip
ped cabins. No regular supply Of
provisions has been established to
the Angara regions.
