BAN PLACED ON
DUNDEE 0KEHED
BY THE FRENCH
International Relations
In Boxing to Be Helped
By Action Taken Here

Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune)
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The New
York boxing commission has made a
big hit with the French Boxing
union by placing an international
ban on Johnny Dundee. Dundee
will not be able to fight anywhere
in this country until he adjusts his
differences with the Partisan pro-
moters.
This will help the cause OF inter
national boxing, so far as legislation
is concerned.
Fred Fulton is being barred for
life because OF his confessed inten.
tion to cheat in the Fulton-Fuente
bout. He will lose little. 80 far as
New York is concerned, as he has
been no attraction here for years.
Just what the boxing commission
will do about the refusal of Sid Ter.
ris and Sammy Mandell TO cooper
ate with the board in holding a light
weight tournament remains to be
seen. Sammy Mandell's refusal is
more important that that OF the
New York East Sider's because of
his victory yer ferris at the Gar
den Friday night.
Mandel's victory was not popular.
In the fifth round had Terris pur-
sued his advantage. he probably
would have sent the Rockford. Ill.
fighter to sleep. He started Mandel
going with a blow to the jaw, drop.
ping him fiat upon the floor and 1t
looked like a knockout. When Man.
del got up. ferris pitched into him
but was unable to complete his
work and during the fifth and sixth
rounds Mandel recuperated. After
that he fought his way to an wen
break and in the last two rounds he
clearly outboxed Terris.

FIRE DESTROYS
KEVIN PROPERTY

Fire broke out at the Lindskog
residence in the north part of the
city Tuesday evening and COM
pletely destroyed the building.
The fire was caused from an over
heated stove, the gas pressure
raising, and it seems that no one
was at home. Owing to the fact
that there was no wind to speak
of probably saved this entire Sec
ton from being completely des-
troyed. The work of the volun-
teers sayed the adjoining build
ings after the residence of H. O..
Brown, adjoining the Linskov
building had caught fire and
much damage caused.

Imperial Hits New Oil
Sand Near Border

Lethbridge. "A second pro-
nounced showing Of oil has been
struck in the Imperial company $
Dead Horse coulee well, 30 miles
east Of Coutts, it was learned
here Monday.
At 1888 feet, a core of the well
showed a sand saturated with a
heavy black OIL. T. Draper, de-
velopment superintendent 70 r
the Imperial company in Alberta,
stated here that a test of stray
sand above the Ellis shows light
oil production, but not CONNER
cial in amount. Samples of the
oil have been taken to Calgary
for analysis.
The drill now is at work in a
hard formation, thought to be a
cap rock. with about 80 feet to
go, it is thought. before the Ellis
is reached. Commercial produc-
ton is expected in that forma-
ton.
The first oil showings in this
we'll were found Aug. 81 at p
$50 feet. The fact that strong oil
showings have been found above
the Ellis formation leads oil men
to believe a commercially valua-
BILE sand will be penetrated at a
greater depth.

OIL SHOWINCS
Crew Suspends After Touching
Sand at 3,778 Feet; Large
Crowd Assemblies

Heavy oil showings have been
struck in the CALIFORNIA; well on
the Bowes' structure near Chi
nook, and drilling is suspended
pending receipt of instructions
from the company's headquarters
according to word reaching here
Monday.
The oil was reached at 3,778
feet and is the heavy black quail
ity, differing from the product OF
the principal fields of the state.
People returning to Chinook from
the well report that oil brought
up by the bailer had overrun the
sump and spread over the ground
for distance Of 800 feet.
Pete Larson, representative OF
the California, passed through
Great Falls Monday evening en-
route to the we'll and was quoted
as saying that in his opinion the
well is not commercial as it now
stands and that some water was
coming in with the oil. A dis
patch from Chinook stated that
drilling is exuected to be resum-
ed, with the Madison limestone
as the objective. The bit is IN a
hard formation, suggestive Of a
cap rock, and is thought to De
some 20 feet above the Ellis.
Much excitement was reported
in Chinook as a result Of the oil
saowings. Despite the@s~hsavy
roads, every automobile that
could be mustered went from
Chinook to the we'll Monday and
"a hugh crowd was at the well all
afternoon.
The showings, in the opinion
of oil men, will again revive IN
terest in the Bowes structure,
where operations have been un-
der way for a year or more. This
well, as well as the other one
drilled on the structure, encoun-
tered a tremendous gas flow at
approximately 1000 feet. Great

GAS WELL REACHES
ll,5OO,OOO RATE

The St. Paul-Montana gas well,
located OH the Cox farm measur-
IS II, 100000 barrels daily. The
gas was encountered at t h e
depth of 1545 feet and was drill
ed only 10 feet into the sand. 1t
is the opinion of Mr.. Stiger,
president of the company, that
the we'll will show gas produc-
ton of 100000 feet daily with
greater depth. Operations are
suspended while preparations are
made to shut off the gas so that
the test for oil can be continued.
The bit is thought to ba about
$50 feet above the Ellis sand,
where the opportunities for oil
production are regarded as ex-
cellent.
Mr.. Stiger is also president of
the New York Oil company,
which is one of the largest in
dependent operators in Wyoming.
In both companies he is associat-
ed with Edward Yannish of st.
Paul, who has been identified
with the northern Montana field
for several years. The company
recently acquired a number Of
leases additional to those former
ly held and it is their intention
to carry on an extensive drilling
campaign during the next year.
