SunburSt Sand is Dry
Imperial Drillers Say

Lethbridge, Alta, Tests made
by the Imperial Oil company's
Dead Horse Coulee well, 80 miles
east of Coutts, disclose t h a t
there is not sufficient production
in the Sunburst sands to make
the well a commercial PROPOSE
ton. The Sunburst was admit
tedly oil-bearing, but the show
ing was not large. The well will
be put down to the Ellis sands
in the hopes of encountering com
mercial production.
The Erickson Coulee well of
the Imperial, seven miles west of
the Dead Horse Coulee well, is
rugged up ready to spud in. This
well will be put down by a large
rotary rig. A drilling crew is be-
ing assembled.
Oil men are watching the test
well being put down by the
Urban Oil company at Calgary.
This we'll known at Coutts as
Noodle No. /, is located in the
townsite of Coutts, is nearing
the Ellis sands where production
is looked for, 1t has been found
that the Noodle we'll does not fol-

Ferdig-Lashbaugh No. 4
Is Reported Good Well

The Ferdig-Lashbaugh No. q,
sw NV ne 1882 w, which was
drilled in Saturday flowed 500
barrel in IL hours. The flow was
through cavern and past tools
which jammed in the hole after
being forced upward by the rush
of oil, which gushed over the
crown block. The result at this
well indicates the opening of a
large pool west of the Absher re-
finery and midway between the
Corey and Anderson farms, as
few wells have been drilled in
section 33 and "a. The Ferdig-
Lashbaugh found production at
l,485 feet. This acreage is offset
on the west by Crumbley & Nc
Knight and West & Wilson own
the acreage on the south.
A test of production has not
been made as the we'll is being
cleaned but oil men estimate it
will be one of the large produc-
ers of the field.

Coroner's Verdict

2 Coroner's Verdict
The coroner's jury Sunday ev-
ening returned the following
verdict:
We find that Michael Hasquet
Mrs. Jennie Hasquet, Mrs. 0. V.
McIntire, Virginia and Jean Nc
Intire and Mrs. Lynch, came to
their deaths by being struck by
No. 27, the fast mail train of the
Great Northern railway, while
riding in a Dodge touring car, at
the Sullivan hotel street crossing,
of the main line trains of the
Great Northern railway, within
the corporate limits of the city
of Shelby.
THAT the cause Of the said ac-
cident was the failure of the
-sasiyer Of the automobile to notice
the approach of the train, due
mainly to the fact that said cross
ing was obstructed by two box
cars spotted on the industry track
east of said crossing on the Great
Northern railway, and to the en-
tire absence of all safety devices
at said crossing.
I'VE find also that the train
crew of said No. 27, was power
less to avert said accident"

Members of the coraner's jury
were: John Bett, E. C. Tolley, |

GAS ENGINE FOR DRILLING TO
Be TRIED OUT In THE FIELD

w. E. Rice has purchased a
new No. so Star Super Tractor
from the Great Nhrthern Tool
and Supply Company. This mach
inc has been moved to his lease
and is now on location ready to
start spuddlng on his number
nine well.
This machine is an ordinary
No. 30 Star equipped with a 70
H. P. Waukesha Motor an d
mounted on tractor. 1t was
moved from Kelvin to Rice's lease
a distance Of 91a miles in little
over 4 hours. Fifteen gallons of
gasoline were consumed in max
ing this move and this is a very
small amount when the weight
of the machine is taken into con-
sideration.. This machine weighs
nearly twenty tons.
In ordinary drilling this motor
about 5000 feet OF
natural gas or about so gallons
of gasoline in ID hours. One fill
ing Of the radiator with water
will last several days and the
only water required is for the
nole and this would not amount
20 over twenty barrels day. The
average steam drilling outfit in
his field will consume about 12O
barrels Of water per day, so it is
.asy to see that the saving In
water is considerable item.
The Star Drilling Machine
Company have met with great
uccess in introducing this ma
hine in the southern fields and
re now behind in their orders.
The progress of the machine
by Mr.. Rice will bell
yatched very closely by many
perators in this field and If it !
ill do the work in the manner
Iaimed for it, there is no doubt :
nat many will adopt it for future
rilling. q

Sunbursf State Bank
Probably Sold Block
of Stock to St. Paul Men

While not confirmed by the
officers of the bank yet we have
it from reliable sources that a
substantial block of the stock of
the Sunburst Bank has been
bough by strong st Paul inter-
ests at price around $4,000 per
share.
AS often stated in this paper
we believe that it is one of the
best banks in the state and we
predict that the st Paul men will
not regret their purchase.

Water Situation
Geeting Serious

According to reports FIR ON
some Of the operators in the field
a shortage of water may interfer
with the drilling program this
fall. unless the fall rains refill
the reservoirs.
The hot weather dried up the
smaller reservoirs until there is
but little water in the field, ex-
cept the big reservoirs. The con-
dition has already caused some
delays in drilling. and unless
rains supplies the needed water,
much drilling will have to stop
when the water lines now sup
plying the field are shut off.
