PLUGGING BACK
TO FIRST SAND

The Queen City No. 9 well,
which is on offset to their No. s
wellis is rigging up and will spud
N the last of this week.
The Queen City 8 we'll develop
I'd some water at the depth of
L485 feet; and they are now plug
ging back to the first sand, where
'he production was estimated at
800 barrels daily.
The experience of the Queen
City 8 is similar to that Of two or
hree other wells in the same To-
ality that were opened too wide
when they came in under terrific
pressure. The VanMeer No. /.

zoo new WELLS
PLAN FOR kelvin
Advance in Crude Stimulates
Operators to Most Extensive
Drilling Program.

Development work already out
lined by operators in the Kevin
oil field for the 1925 season will
add 200 wells to the territory, it
was stated in Great Falls Friday
evening by L. B. O'Neill, north
ern Montana operator and head
of the International refinery at
Sunburst, Many Of the new oil
wells will be under way before
April / and with the opening of
spring field work IS expected to
reach the greatest volume in the
fields history.
Il personally know Of los wells
that are definitely arranged for. )"
Mr.. O'Neill said, "and there pro-
badly are as many more for which
preparations have been made, or
are under way, on which | have
not such conclusive information.
tCompletions of winter months
have aided very materially in the
stimulating of interest in the field
and with the recent advances in
the price of crude, operators are
going to expand their field work
as much as they consistently
can.
! 1t is entirely safe to say that
drilling will be carried on on a
greater scale this year than in
any previous year since the field
was opened. Kevin-Sunburst is
already the second largest field
in the Rocky mountain district
and is beginning to command at
tention accordingly, but there is
ample justification for the belief
that it will cut an even greater
figure in the oil world before the
end IF the present season.
There is easily apparent an
optomistic feeling among produ-
GERS and there is evidence that |
capital is going to be more easily |
persuaded towards oil develop
ment than was the case during
the depression from which the
industry is just emerging"
Reports are beginning to cen
ter more definitely on acreage
deals that have been pending
throughout the winter and oil /
men say that important announ-
cements in this regard are due
before April 1. Two deals of
much consequence now are near
ing completion. one being the
1926, 900 deal for which contracts
were signed ny the late Oscar
Gumbinsky prior to his death in
Chicago last Tuesday. A consid
cradle number of smaller deals
are being negotiated now. Ct.

DEATH
NOT STOP WORK
Gumbinsky Executed Contract
Prior to his Demise lnvolV-
ing $295. 900.

Pending deals involving oil ac-
reage in the Kevin field executed
by Oscar Gumbinsky. Chicago
capitalist and pardner of Arbe
Beardslee of Great Falls, prior to
his sudden death last Tuesday
will be carried through without
interruption, it was stated We'd
nesday by Judge Roy E. Ayers,
after his return from Chicago.
Judge Ayers was in conference
with Mr.. Gumbinsky in Chicago
several days last week and said
goodbye to him there Sunday
evening, arriving here Wednes-
day to receive a telegram inform
ing him of Mr.. Gumbinsky's
death.
Several days before his death,
Mr.. Gumbinsky executed a con-
tract closing up a 1926, 900 deal
involving Kevin acreage and this
transaction will be carried out as
at first contemplated. Oher nor
thern Montana deals in which Mr..
Gumbinsky was interested are in
less definite state and no infor-
nation is available as to decisions
that will be reached concerning
them. The contract executed by
Mr.. Gumbinsky means an impor-
tant transfer Of acreage in the
Kevin field and and development
pursuant to the lease contracts,
according to judge Ayers.
Associated Press dispatches
last Tuesday carriedsan aceounts
of the sudden death of Mr.. Gum
binsky, who with his brother was
given rating by commercial a.
gencies of $5,000,000. He pers-
onally inspected the Kevin field
last Christmas and New Years
and spent several days in Great
Falls.
He was regarded as the largest
individual financial figure ever to
visit the northern Montana field.
With HIM were both members OF
the firm Of Isaacs & Shocks, for
mer Tulsa operators. rated as the
most widely recognized oil trans
portation and production experts
in America. Mr.. Gumbinsky and
Mr.. Beardslee had been associat-
ed since last November and had
offices in the Chicago Trust bull
ding at the time of his death.
Mr.. Gumbinsky was a former
president of the Daniel Boone
Wooden Mills company and is re-
ferred to in press dispatches as
having had a spectacular finan-
cial career of late, including his
ousting from control of the wool
en- mills company. He previous
ly lost his hold on other big COM
panies in which he was interest
ed and recently brought suit to
acquire ownership of the Ashland
building, property valued at
we'll up in the millions and situa-
ted diagonally opposite the Chic
ago city hall. He was 35 years
of age.
Judge Ayers stopped in Chic
ago last week to do law work for
Mr.. Gumbinsky and Mr.. Boards

witness in the wheeler" case,
