OIL DEVELOPMENT

The Treasure State has come into
prominence as an oil producing state
within the past few years. Consider
able activity has been shown in the
various fields during the year and it
is c~onseryatively estimated that the
production for 1924 will total more
than 3,500,000 barrels. Cat Greek field
Is still in the lead with 100000 barrels
per month while the development in
the Kevin-Sunburst field has almost
equa}ed this record.
The pioneer oil fields were primarily
developed by Montana men and local
capital but now nearly all of the lar
gar oil companies are represented in
the state. Over sixty wells are now
being drilled on more than four proven
and % wildcat structures.
With the bringing in of Hepp we'll
Mol as a producer, in the Lake Basin
area, 80 miles northwest of Billings, a
new field was opened up for develop
ment which holds promise of being a
valuable discovery. While several wells
had already been drilled on this struc-
ture, this was the first to strike oil.
Five more wells are now being sunk
in the endeavor to determine the ex-
tent of this field.
Considerable wildcatting is going on
throughout the state at the present
time. Test holes are being drilled
In the Boundary Dome structure on the
Grow Indian Reservation, Twin Butte
and Mifflin structures and several
others but no showing of oil has yet
been obtained.

what to do with the ranging cayuses

Many Legends Treat
of Womdn'S Creation

Woman's first appearance has been
a popular subject of legends. The
Phoenician myth of creation is found
ed on the story of Pygmalion and
Galatea. There the first woman was
carved out of ivory by the first man,
and then endowed with life by Aphro-
dite, says the Kansas City Star.
The Greek theory of the creation of
woman, according to Hesiod, was that
Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered Vulcan
to make woman out of clay, and then
induce the various gods and goddesses
to invest the clay doll with all their
worst qualities, the result being .
lovely thing.
The ScandinRvians say that as Odin.

and forgotten in the Sixteenth century.
still flows The deep easements of
new buildings near it have to be wa

brook is right under the Bank of Eng
land and may give trouble when the
new building is erected The Wal
brook was a tidal river-being appar-
emily so TO 40 feet wide at high tide
and it is still tidal. The river is about
80 feet beneath the. level of the ground
at the bank. When the new bank is
constructed it may be advisable to run
the stream through pipes.
