Pyrite Find Renorted
In Greybull District

Basin, Wyo.-Some time ago State
Geologist Bartlett sent out a circular
announcing that because of the great
demand for galena and pyrite by the
radio manufacturers it might be very
profitable for prospectors to make a
search for deposits of these res.
The statement went on to say that
the manufacturers will pay $3.50 to
$3.50 per ton for galena and $500 to
$4,000 per ton for pyrite.
Herbert Cooper was in Monday and
reported that while prospecting for
coal in the badlands of the Greybull
valley, west of Greybull, he had found
a large deposit of pyrite and that he
had sent specimens to Salt Lake and
received back a report that it was
very valuable. He reports that the
pyrites al be taken out at small cost
and he hopes to make a big thing out
of his find.

Horses Cross
Wearing Snow Shoes

Missoula, Mont.-Weather condi-
tons in some parts of northern Mon
tana, particularly in the mountain sec
tons, make it necessary at times to
resort to rather unusual efforts to cir
cumvent natures handicaps.
An instance is the reported plan of
G. S. Hinkle, superintendent of con-
struction work on the Lolo pass road
project, on the border between Mon
tana and Idaho, where the highway
crosses the Rocky mountains.
With snow still 2h feet deep and
the beginning of the seasons con-
struction operations planned, Mr.
Hinkle decided to send 80 horses over
the mountains on snow shoes.
Boards about a foot square are
fastened to the feet of the horses.
These, MI. Hinkle says, will be suf-
fcient to support the animals weight
and it is said they quickly learn to
handle the unaccustomed footgear.
Fred Morrell, district forester for
the northwestern area of Montana,
says his men occasionally find it ne
cessary to resort to the same expedi-
ent in crossing the summit of the

IN TREE
FOR ENTIRE CHURCH

The First Baptist church Of Santa
Rosa, Cal, was organized In 1852 and
met at first in a private home, later in
the open air under an oak tree and still
later In a church building of its own,
made entirely out Of n big redwood
tree. In n recent article on this church
the Santa Rosa Republican said:
1T Is true that the story of this
church building runs only half a CEN
fury, but it is equally true that when
Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea
the tree which furnished material for
this church was a promising young
redwood"
The rec was IS feet in diameter and
produced $4,000 board feet of lumber,
besides shingles. The church, from
foundation to roof, was built from this
tree.

Oil Driller Champions
Doodle Bug" That
Explored Local Strata

E. D. Lamb, oil driller, of Manville,
has been converted into an active
champion of the power of divination
of the Sharpe "doodlebug" and its al
legged ability to reveal the location of
petroleum deposits, by reason of his
recent drilling operation in the vicin-
ity of Manville.
Following the forecast of Sharpe
that gas would be struck at a depth
of 800 feet in a well spudded in near
Manville some months ago. The log
of the. well, states Mr.. Lamb, has so
far corresponded with the f~orecasted
log prepared with the aid of the "doo-
dlebug," definitely defined geological
strata and water having been encoun-
tered at the depths prophesied by the
Sharpe siesmograph.
Mr.. Lamb states that another week
will tell the tale of the further ac-
curacy of Sharpe's observation on the
Manville structure, that length of
time being necessary to carry the
drill to the depth at which the find
ing of gas was prophesied.

Spare Coyotes to Keep
Down Rabbits is Plea

Calgary, Alta.-W. H. Fletcher of
Brant, Alberta, has written the de-
partment of agriculture of the pro-
vince that far from encouraging the
slaughter of coyotes, which has long
been a provincial policy, the killing
of one of these animals should be
made a crime. He explained that
jack rabbits, by consuming crops and
damaging trees, had become a
scourge to farmers. He expressed the
belief that coyotes had formerly kept
down the number of jack rabbits.
Fletcher predicted that if coyotes
were not permitted to prey upon rab-
bits, the latter would become such an
evil as they did in Australia.

The Bent County Oil & Gas Co.
State No. /, sec. 16-23-52, about a
mile south of Las Animas, Bent coun-
ty, southeastern Colorado, commenc-
ed spudding in on April % in the
presence of about 1000 people from
the surrounding country.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the spudding in of this test,
however, is that the company, COM
posed of local business men, discard
ed the geological advice which it had
obtained and is relying upon the pre-
dictions of scientisc instruments used
in making the location. The first To-
cation was made by M. c. Trumbull,
of Holsington, Kansas, with the aid
of an instrument. William A. Sharpe,
of Denver, was then called in, to
check the Trumbell location. Mr..
Sharpe's invention has caused con-
siderable discussion recently among
oil men. The instrument is called
the radio ~seismograph, using radio
wave lengths and the method in gen.
eral use for recording earthquakes.
The Trumbell test is said to have
recorded the presence of oil and gas
over a large area. The Sharpe in
strument is reported to have indicat-
ed extensive oil sands at 1900 #. and
5000 it., and even greater possibili-
ties at 5000 to 1000 #. The tests

Der of business men who were so
thoroughly convinced that they fin
anced the test, contracted with w. F.
Mccormick to erect q standard rig
and drill to 5000 it., and put him un-
der bond to carry out the agreement.
The 5 of the doodle bug" in To-
eating oil pools is about as old as the
industry itself and practical oil men
have generally had little faith in it.
The development of the radio in the
past few years and the demonstrated
reliability of the seismograph in re-
cording earth movements has, howev-
err, convinced many oil men that me-
thods of locating oil pools by mechan-
ical instruments may yet become a
reality.
The writer was permitted recently
to examine a signed and sworn state
ment of what one of these instru-
ments showed last summe on certain
wells drilling in this state. In almost
every instance where these wells have
been completed, the predictions have
been generally correct. This state
ment is in the hands of the president
of a large oil company. The man u.s.
ing the instrument has avoided pub
licity in the matter and does not de-
sire to have his name used. But the
results have, at least, given consider
able backing to his claims.
