WHAT is A JAR?

Well venture to say that every
housewife around Kevin thinks
she knows what Mason fruit
jar is, yet we doubt if there is
one who really does. How many
know that a Mason jar starts in
a quarry in West Virginia as
common sand, to which is added
soda ash, from Ohio; limestone,
properly ground, from Michigan;
feldspar, from North Carolina;
inter, from the mountain deserts
of Chile; antimony from Utah;
cobat, from Calada, and seledium
from Montana. On top is a por-
celain liner containing the above,
as well as fourspar. from Ken
lucky, and cryolite, from Green
land. This is sealed with a rub
Der band, and the rubber is
grown in Paraguay. So you see
it is pretty safe to believe that
very few people really know
what goes to make an ordinary
fruit jars.

SLUMP
PAWES WAY FOR
RISE In CRUDE
Independents in Southern
Fields Poying Premiums
for Light Oils

Production of light oil decline
to a new low during the week
ending June 13, with drop of
1858 barrels daily. according 70
figures compiled by the Oil and
Gas Journal. Domestic light and
heavy crude oil production dur
ing the same week averaged g.
238, 1913 barrels, a decline for the
two grades of74, ,957 barrels daily.
The slump in production is cit
ed by the Journal as a further
indication that an advance in
crude oil prices is imminent. Pre-
MUM paying is spreading in the
Midcontinent district, with small
er refiners competing with big
buying companies in order to get
a sufficient supply of light crude
to meet their gasoline demand.
"The situation can be met only
by the large companies advanc-
ing Midcontinent prices, and this
development is looked for in
few days." the Journal says.
Continuing, the paper makes this
comment:
Premiums are particularly
active in the Usage district, where
the high gravity crude is pro-
duced. One big company lost
1900, barrel connection there
when an independent refner paid
25 cent premium; in Cromwell,
large buyer lost a I.400-
barrel connection for the same
reason, and in Pappoose pool, a
third large buying company lost
a 1900 barrel connection because
of Independents paying premi-
ums"
in the Drumright district,
premiums are also becoming gen
eral, running from Is to 25 cents
a barrel. Small refiners also are
getting considerable of Tonkawa
and Burbank production by pay
ng premiums.

EAST SIDE WELL
FLOWS 2,OOO BBLS.

The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
No. 7 s Sc Sc 30-35-1w. came into
production Sunday night at the
depth Of LAB feet. This well
was drilled in less than 13 days
and is the fifth gusher for the
east side. Monday the oil was
flowing at the rate of 1000 bar
rels through two, two-inch lines.
With the completion Of the new
Ferdig- Anderson well, interest
in the east side of the field was
given a tremendous impetus and
the excitement there probably is
equal to any that has resulted
from any development in the
field since discovery. Royalty is
changing hands at prices that are
breaking all former records in
the field.
The discovery Of big produc-
tion on the east side has been an
important influence in interest
ing the larger companies in Kew
in and present indications are
that all of the big operators who
were represented here two or
three years ago will again have
men in the field in the immediate
future. There also are rumors
that operating companies which
have to date shown no active in
terest in the field will shortly be
represented.

tion from that field has little or
no effect on the light oil situa-
ton.
I'm recent months n new
fields have been brought in and
the newest fields have passed
their peak. The peak output of
Wortheim and other Of the new
er fields has been absorbed, leav-
ing the producers still drawing
on their stocks. These things go
to illustrate how necessary it is
to find more production. Many
companies have come face to face
with the fact that if they are go
ing to stay in the oil business
they will have to find more oil.
Montana is going to benefit
from this situation, and that ap-
plies especially to the northern
part of the state. There is the
keenest interest evident in Kew
in, especially since big produc-
lion was found in the east end of
the field. The Kevin proved and
semi-proved territory now ex-
tends over an area 22 miles north
and south and IA miles east and
west. The possibilities within
this area are tremendous and the
quest of operators for more pro-
duction has had the inevitable re-
suit of attracting their attention
to the field
Virtually all the major com
panies are going to be represent
ed in northern Montana in the
very near future. They all are
thoroughly informed on the pro-
gress the field has made, the

PRODUCTION IS NOW
ABOVE 5000 BARRELS

Relief for the tremendous con
gestion of the Illinois Pipeline
company's lines In the Shoshone-
Corey group was afforded this
week by the laying of a new four
inch line tapping the six-inch
main. This four-inch is carrying
the production Of the Ohio-Sun
burst Ncrum wells.
The Ohio was unable to put the
production Of its new No. 8 Nor
um we'll into the pipeline, owing
to the back-pressure. A second
boiler was installed and the pow
er of two boilers was insufficient.
The laying Of a new four-inch
line solved the problem. The field
was shut in on Monday while the
connections were made.
May runs of the field totaled
16O,779 barrels and the June runs
will greatly exceed that figure.
The May average was 1856 bar
rels per day. The runs for the
various districts were:
North district, Baker
Howling group, etc. 29, ,389 bbls
West district Shoshone
Corey, etc ......................... 1887 bbls
East district, Ferdig
group, etc. :. 59,053 bbls
Total ............................. 160.779 bbls
The May production was great
er than any other field in Wyom-
ing, Montana, Colorado and New
Mexico, excepting only Salt Greek
Wyoming. Cat Creek, Montana,
has in the past occupied second
place.
Illinois Pipeline company has
handled 2,150,768 barrels Of oil
up to June L. The field will pass
the three-million- barrel mark this
year. Counting the consumption
of field rehneries the total pro-
1uction to date is around two and |
4 quarter million barrels in three
years.

Immediate return to Montana
Of oil men who made this state
their headquarters for time
following the discovery of the
Kevin field and a corresponding
increase in operations in northern
Montana were forecast in Great
Falls Friday by Arthur Sellery,
head Of the Ohio Oil company's
department, and other newly ar
rived oil men from the southern
portion Of the Rocky mountain
district.
Various influences of the oil in
dustry accounts for what Mr..
Sellery forsees as an abrupt re-
vival o f interest in Montana
fields. Chief among these is a
pronounced increase in the con
sumption of gasoline over produc-
ton. Tremendous inroads n
stocks of crude oils have been
made during the spring months
as a consequence of favorable
motoring weather and the major
operators everywhere are cast
ing about forterritory from which
a greater supply can be procured.
Last month";" said Mr.. Sellery
"the Prairie Oil company took
from storage 5O,OOO,000 barrels
of oil, when it should have been
increasing its stocks instead.
This is but one instance, but the
activities of many of the larger
companies could be cited to show
the recognized need of increas-
ing the light oil supply. A short
time ago there was something of
a furry over the greatly increas-
ed production in Smackover, but
as a matter of fact the produc-
