Bahmer Buys
Meat Market

A deal was closed last week il
which H. J. BANNER of Devon be-
comes the sole owner of the Cash
Meat Market, formerly run by J.
L. Nett.
Mr.. Bahmer cannot be classed
as a stranger in this territory, as
he came to this section about
two wears ago from North Dakota
and has been active in the Kevin
Oil field since, although located
at Devon
MIR. BANNER intends to cater
TO the wants of the public, and
will endeayor at all times to keep
in stock the very best of fresh
meats, and will put a wagon in
the field to care for the trade.
Mr. Nett, the retiring manager
has not as yet decided as to just
what his next turn will be, but
nevertheless, he will remain in
charge of the business here until
other necessary arrangements
can be made.
Mr.. BANNER has secured a lot
and will move in a building soon
in which he and his family will
reside. The Review welcomes Mr..
and Mrs. Bahmer, while we would
oe indeed sorry to lose Mr., and

Ray M. Hart Of Billings, w. E.
Burks, Lorens Lorenson and per-
haps L. B. O'Neill are consider
ing taking over acreage in the
Kevin field involving the sum of
$4,000. This description takes

deal pending in acreage in 35-2w

Lorenson is high strung on this
piece and says that it will take
real money to handle this, and
that it must be a bonifide propo-

pay a substantial bonus. Mr.. Lor-
enson is considering string of
tools of his own and may decide
to drill this valuable acreage.

School Election
Will be April 4

Quite a bit of pep" is being
created over the coming school
election which is to be held here
April 4th. We notice that there
is only one notice posted for one
trustee to be elected, but accord
ing to law there should be two
trustees elected. The term of E.
j. Engle, whose term has expired
will require one trustee to be cleo
ted, and that Of A, Goeddertz Sr.
deceased, calls for another. A..
Goeddertz, Jr. was appointed by
the commissioners to fill the un-
expired term.
According to telegram recei-
we'd by Ray Sorrell from the coun-
ty superintendent there must be
two trustees elected, and for the
benefit of the voters we quote the
telegram, which follows:
Shelby, Montana, March %, 1925
Ray Sorrell,
Kevin, Montana.
Two trustees are to be elected
in district eight April Fourth.

FAITH IS RETAINED
In kelvin OIL FIELD
Fred G. Pa Montana Petroleum Engineer Gives Views on Kevn
Oil Field Published in Tulsa Oil and Gas Journal Of February l9
Featuring low Priced Acreage and Good Market
Continued from last week.


The Ellis sand is very irregular
in nature, being in reality, a bro
ken lime with some secondary
quartz. The irregular nature of
this sand appears due to the fact
that the top Of the Madison for
nation in this structure is com
posed of hills and valleys, the
valleys being filled, or partially
filled with talus from the erosion
of hills. This talus, which is call
ed the Ellis sand, is simply wealth
cred lime, the size Of the grains
varying from very small particles
to pieces one-fourth of an inch in
diameter, and the size very prob-
ably being governed by the dis
tance down the slope of the hills
where the drill happens to hit the
sand. The spotted condition of
the Ellis is probably due to the
fact that should the drill happen
to hit the top of the hills, where
no talus could accumulate, it
would go directly from the black
limey shale at the base of the Ellis
formation to the Madison lime
stone. This would explain dry off
set wells to good producers.
The Ellis sand has been by far
the most productive, the initial
production of the wells varying
between Is and 5000 bbls. The
oil is lower in gravity than that
from the Sunburst sand, being
about 80 degrees Baume, with
some sulphur content. Sulphur
water In varying amount is found
with the oil, Sc chat it is necess-
ary to steam the oil to reduce it
to ! of | per cent basic sediment,
required by the Illinois Pipe Line
20. This low percentage required
is due to danger of the pipe line
freezing during winter months.
The depth of this sand ranges
between 1,450 and ZOO feet, de-
pending upon the structural posit-
ion of the well.
There are 16 commercial gas
wells scattered throughout the
field, ranging from 1000, 900 to
100000 feet capacity. With the
exception of the California Oil
Go. s No. 2 Abel, which found
the gas in a stray sand in the
Ellis, above the regular produc-
ing horizon, all of this gas is
found in the Sunburst sand. IT is
impossible to estimate the poten-
5lal gas production of the field. |

DRILLING DEEPER
AT WILLIAMS WELL

The Williams Williams well drilling about mile southwest

day that this dry hole but the Review does not believe
it, E. E. Chard and Mike Williams arrived in Keyin yesterday

found they the depth Of l595 feet and were drilling

gone deep enough and gave orders Bob Adams contrac
tor, to keep going down.
There seems to be controversy among oil that the

: This year will undoubtedly SEE
the greatest activity in the Kevir
Field since its discovery. With
the expectancy of higher oil pri.
ces, the exceptional demand for
this crude and the Great North
ern Railway Co.'S known demand
for fuel oil, as they have already
changed so per cent Of their loco
motives to oil burners in this dis
trict, as we'll as the depletion of
storage oil at the Ohio tank farm
at Sunburst, (315.00O-bbl. capac-
lty), the reason for the bonus ov-
er the posted field price is easily
understood,
During the past year, due to
the low posted price, the larger
companies agreed among them
selves to do as little development
work as possible, and on account
of this, large number of offset
wells, which would have been
drilled, haye not been. In order
to validate their holdings, this
must be done this year. The
numerous Independent companies
have extensivedrilling campaigns
under way. and there will un-
doubtedly be from 100 to 200 wells
drilled during the year.
1t is difficult for the person not
conyersant with this field to see
the real possibilities of the Kevin
territory. When it is realized
that there is no 40-acre tract in
what is now considered the pro-
ven area, which has been com
pletely drilled up, it can be read
lily seen that there is an enorm-
Gus potential production in this
area alone.
This of course, does not take
into consideration the develop
ment which will be done in the
additional280 square miles. which
so far has been only prospected.
Practically all of the larger
companies of the United States
are keeping in close touch with
developments in this field. real
izlng the potentialities of low
priced acreage and shallow drill
ing.
Montana, with its many likely,
structures. in the opin-
ion of the writer, bids fair to be-
come one of the major oil produ-
cling states, several producing
fields having already been dis
covered, the total production of
which is over 100000 bbls. of
oil annually.

KEVIN TO HAVE
BANK SHORTLY
Dunkirk State Will be Moved 4
Kitchen and Furber are the
Gentlemen in Charge

The Review is pleased to an
nounce this week that Kevin is
to have a bank. Cashier Frank
Kitchen Of Dunkirk and Mr.. A..
Furber of Kalispell was here yes
terday and circulated a petition
to see how manv stockholders
could be obtained and the Re-
view reporter is pleased to re-
port that they met with the very
best of success. A number has
already signed up and with a lit
tie more work it is assured many
more will do likewise. Mr.. Kit
chen states that the Dunkirk
bank will be moved up here with
in short time. A temporary
building has been arranged until
a suitable building will be built.
Kevin has long needed an in
stitution of this kind, and the
Review will state that the land
ing Of this bank are due to the
efforts Of M. G. Green who has
worked untiringly for the promo
motion. Mr.. Green has not been
alone as he has had the support
of such business men as Lorens
Lorenson, |. r. Strange j. S.
Gordon, Lloyd Pratt, Harry Z.
Daum, John Campbell, B. C.
Herd, R. G. Herd. Oil City Club,
Ray Sorrell, Fred MCGOWAN, w. |

bell, j. L. Rock, Lloyd Callison,
and in fact most every business
place in Kevin- We would also
say that attorney Jos. Kaufman
of Shelby will be one Of the sup
porters of the bank.
We are not able this week to
print all the signers names, as
the list is not near completed,
but as it develops the Review will
try and publish each individual
shareholders
AS we said before, this is a long
felt need for Kevin and the Re
view is right back of it with the
ink to spread the glad tidings,
that when you want to dc bust
ness in the line of getting check
cashed or draft, the Kevin State
Bank will be able to accommo-
date you.
AlGoeddertz, the townsite man
has donated a lot, and L. R. Pyke,
the Oil City Restaurant, Ben
Dreher and Frank Brown also
appear on the list.

.CONTINENTALTO
OUTLINE PLANS
Expected Here Next Month to
Consider Operations Srurted
by MutuoI Company.

A season s program of drilling
on the acreage in the Kevin field,
taken over by the Continental Oil
company from the old Mutual Oil
company when those two institu-
tions merged, is expected to be
outlined early next month with
the arrival here of S.H. Keoughan
president of the Continental. Mr..
Keoughan's coming was announ-
ced here Wednesday by Thomas
Arthur. formerly with the Nut
ual and now with the Continent
ais legal department, who has
returned to remain for the sum-
mer after an absence of several
months.
The Continental's holdings in
northern Montana embraces a.
bout 1900 acres on which there
are II producing wells, brought
in by the Mutual. The land is
located in townships 34-2 and 35-2
the producing wells being in the
vicinity Of the Hogan group. The
Mutual intended last year to drill
a deep test on it's acreage but
the plans were cancelled because
Of the deal in which the Cont
mental took over the property.
There is every indication of
an abrupt revival in the oil indus
try, Mr. Arthur said, "and nor
shern Montana in all probability
will be q distinct beneficiary Of
