FAIL TO FIND
OIL SIGNS IN
LARGE CASSER
St. Puul-Montono EfiIls 40 Ft.
Into Madison Lime; Plan
Additional Tests

The st. Paul-Montana gasser
four miles north of Shelby has
drilled some 90 feet into the top
of the Madison limestone with
out finding oil, according to re-
ports. No formation was found
chat could be positively identified
as the Ellis, the main producing
sand in the Kevin-Sunburst field,
and many operators think that
at this location the Ellis is not
in place.
The well produced more than
100000 feet of gas from the
Sunburst sand and deeper drill
ing increased the flow to more
than 100000. 1t is considered
certain that additional wells will
be drilled in the vicinity of the
gasser in a further effort to dis
coyer oil in what now is identifi-
ed as a large gas area.

Badly Injured

j. j. Stenson, old time railroad
conductor, and who now resides
on his farm few miles south
west of Kevin, suffered serious
cuts and internal injuries when
his horse which he was riding
got tangled up in barbed wire at
his home the fore part of last
week. The horse became freight
ened and threw herself and roll
ed over his body three times, he
managed to reach the house, but
is in critical condition.
Mr.. Stenson, having no com
panion, was alone for two days
and nights before neighbors
found him. Mr.. Stenson would
like to give a full account of his
but at this time is not
able to do so because of his weak
condition, but at a later issue the
Review will print in full the his
tory of this aged gentleman. Mr..
Stenson is past seventy years Of
age.

Important Development Since Discovery of

erations. The bit was forced tc
one side in the crevice until it be-
gan to wedge and no further at
tempt to drill will be made until
the hole is shot to overcome this
difficulty. 1t will probably be sew
eral days before work is resum-
ed. | would say that the next 40
or so feet, at the outside will de-
termine whether commercial oil
will be found"
The fact that the bit ran into
crevice was regarded by Mr..
Frazier as being of great signifi-
cance, for it tends to confirm the
theory that the Ellis oil, thus far
the fields principal production,
has migrated to the shallow hor-
izon from a greater d p t h.
"Crackology" is a term that has
been many times applied by theo-
rists to the fields geology. By it
is meant the possibility that the
production found has travelled
upward to the Ellis through fs-
sures in the lime.
The famous Baker No. 3 well
has been often cited in support
of the fissure theory. This well,
which has procured approximate
ly three-quarters of a million
barrels Of oil, has a sand only II
feet thick, according to operators
in the field. By many oil men it
is maintained that this could be
true only if the oil supply were
replentished from a source thus
far not definitely determined.
The Frazier well is north of
most any other well in the east
end of the Kevin field and ap-
proximately six miles due north
of the Potlach deep test, which
now is at about $500 feet. The
Potlach is thought to haye passed
through the formation in which
the showings were found in the
Frazier, but it is believed to be
considerably higher structurally
than the Frazier. Supporting this
belief is the fact that heavier
gas showings were found in the
Potlach as the bit was working
its way down. ct. Falls Tribune.

Discovery Friday morning Of
gas and showings of free oil in
the deep test we'll being drilled
in Sc ne, NV 1851 W, by Ken
meth Frazier and his associates,
caused wave of excitement to
spread over the Kevin field.
Should commercial production be
found as suggested by the oil and
gas, the shoWings were regarded
by operators on the ground as
perhaps presaging the most i'm
portant development since dis
covery.
Mr.. Frazier, who was in Great
Falls, was informed by his rep
resentatives at the we'll that the
oil and gas were reached at 1920
feet, but that the formation at
that depth had not been posit-
lively identified. 1t was thought,
however, that the bit had passed
through the Devonian formation
and probably was in the Cam
brian, which would be the last
series above, bed rock. At the
depth reached the drill is approx
imately 900 feet below the bot
tom Of the Madison limestone.
"The first indication of inter-
esting developments was a heavy
volume of rich gas with a strong
gasoline odor," said Mr.. Frazier.
The gas has not been tested,
but it apparently is wet. The
flow of gas subsided in a short
time, but did not altogether dis
appear. Immediately under the
gas the oil showings were found.
1t was impossible to learn the
quality of the oil.
The gas and oil were found
In a hard, gray lime and deeper
drilling was prevented when the
bit passed into a crevice. Only
two feet of hole was made after
the showings were found before
1t was necessary to suspend op-

OIL PIPE LINE
RATE HEARING
FIXED OCT. u

Helena. In the matter Of the
reasonableness Of t h e rates
charged by the Illinois Pipe Line
company for transporting oil
through its lines in the Kelvin
Sunburst field, the Montana rail-
road commission has called for a
hearing to be held at 10 a. M,
Tuesday, October 27, in the hall
of the house Of representatives
in the state capitol.
At the time Of the beginning
of operations by the pipe line
company when a rate Of 20 cents
per barrel was established for the
transportation of oil from the
wells to the railroad the commits
sion took into consideration the
heavy investment and the small
supply of oil then available for
transportation. With the great
in the production from
this field and it's development in
to one of the substantial fields of
the country the commission feels
that the time has arrived when
it is proper to investigate the
transportation question and to
fix an equitable rate. which may
be reduction from that now in
force.

Refinery Fire
Does Damage

Fire broke out at the Montana.
Giant refinery yesterday after
moot causing a damage around a
thousand dollars, according to
manager 7. j. Landry. The igni-
ton was started from one of the
boilers back freing, Mr.. Landry
says, causing the flames to ex-
pand.
The loss of generators, pumps,
and damage to the engins besides
few other things make up the
entire loss.
Mr.. Landry also states as soon
as the insurance adjuster arrives
that the refinery will be running
to full capacity within twenty
four hours. There was no loss of
product. The refinery was fully
covered by insurance. Mr.. Lam
dry complimented the refinery
force, as to the way they handl-
ed the situation.
George Wirth, stillman, re-
ceived quite sever burns on his
hands. but it is stated he is not
in critical condition, and will
be on the job within few
weeks.

jim IS WE'D

j. d. Davidson, old time ranch

came into town Monday after
noon and he was somewhat 'het'
up over an article that appeared
in the Montana Oil Journal con-
cerning the Tr asure State well
on the Lilliefors permit in sw ne
sw SO 1913 west, in which the
! Journal has been informed that
this well drilled into sulphur
water.
Mr.. Davidson denies this state
ment, and says that work is still
going on at this well, the crew
being tied up with a bad fishing
job, and in his estimation produc-
tion will be found at this well
that will at least equal that of
the Big Elephant-Strange if not
better.
Considerable activity is going
on, on the west side of the field
at the present time, the Colonel
KeYin Oil company, which owns
the Rock producer, is starting a
well one offset east of this pro-
ducer on the northeast corner Of
the forty.
Across the line to the north, |
the Maharg Oil company, fnanc-

STATE AGENTS
MAKE SURVEYS
OF kelvin FIELD
Data Will Cover All Operations
Except Contracts on Fed
erdI Lands


AS the first step Of the state
railroad commission to apply the
provisions of the Leuthold bill
passed by the 1925 assembly, an
act to prevent the waste of nat
ural oil and gas resources, a pre-
liminary survey Of the Kevin
field has recently been made by
V. E. Wilhelm, safety Inspector,
and Grant DEEMS, also of the
staff of the commission.
AS soon as weather permits,
Mr.. Wilhelm and Mr.. Dennis
will spend from ten days to two
weeks in the field making a COM
plete survey, the result Of which
will be detailed list of compan-
les in the field, the wells produc-
ing and abandoned and land own
ership.
The rules of the federal bu-
reau of mines will be used. The
state control extends to all but
federal controlled lands. The fed
eral bureau has its own man in
the field.
The producing oil and gas
wells in this field are virtually all
within seven townships, the COM
missions survey shows. In these
townships there are 161, ,280 acres
Of land divided as follows:
Federal controlled land. $4,000
acres; school land, 8,640 acres;
state land, 1,640 acres; decided
and patented land, 147, $3.50 acres. |
These are approximate figures.
There are about 400 producing
wells on these lands, Of which
there are some 345 on state con-
trolled areas and SIS on federal
lands. The approximate figures
of the commission show Is pro-
ducing gas wells, 27 wells being
drilled, 21 locations on which
drills are up, six temporarily
shut down, 13 validation holes
and one application.
Mr.. Wilhelm and Mr.. Dennis
called at the Ohio Oil company
and on A. ]. Findley, vice presi-
dent of the Western Petroleum
Exploration company, and ex-
pressed appreciation for h e
courteous cooperation shown.
They did not have an opportunity /
to visit officials of the other COM |

DON'T SUIT THE PARSON

Although he came in after most of
the business was over, Rev. Paul c..
Weimer responded to an invitation to
address the Council at Monday
nights session, and he didn't hesitate
to speak right out in meetin' and tell
what he thought of things in gen
eral, but especially the three-on-a-
seat auto proposition.
He said he believed that the body
would live to see the day it would re-
gret the passage of the measure, and
inquired "what are we going to do
with our children after they reach the
age of sixteen? Turn then out in
the streets like dogs to be shot down
by the police ?"
He criticised the sense Of not allow
ing a third person over sixteen to
ride on a front seat, yet permitting
any number of younger children to
do that very thing. He concluded by
stating he would consider a young
man driver of a machine much safer
and less liable to smash into another
car if he was occupying the same
seat with a couple Of good looking
girls than if he was riding all by his
lonesome and the same two good look
ers were trotting along on the street.
Guess he was pretty near right
he seemed to know what he was talk
ing about.

YES-FIREWORKS TOO!

"Bill" Dover's resolution granting
permission to exhibit and display
fireworks, under the control and di-
rection of the Director of Public Safe
ty," during the coming big celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July, was unan-
imously adopted by Council at Mon
day nights meeting.
There is an ordinance forbidding
the sale and use of fireworks within
the city limits, but it contains a pro-
viso permitting just such action as
was taken by council Monday night,
and this permission to display fire
works is for this occasion only, and
does not confer the right upon the
citizens in general.

Engineers Predict
Electrified Roads

New York-The electrification of
railroads with interchangeable equip
ment was advocated at a meeting Of
the American institute of electrical
engineers in this city. 1t was stated
that the saving in coal alone would
amount to $120,000,000 annually.
"The steam locomotive will un-
doubtedly continue for many years in
the service, and further improve
ments may be expected, but there
still remains the limitation of power
imposed by restrictions in size of the
locomotive boiler and fire box and
the inherently lower fuel economy in
comparison with the modern steam
electric power station" one speaker
said.
'The electric locomotive is not re-
stricted in its capacity. The central
station from which it derives its
power is stationary and may have a
capacity many times in excess of any
number Of locomotives that may be
on the line at the same same time.
"Records kept over long period
Of time clearly show that the cost of
maintenance of steam engines is
three times that of electric locomo-
tives hauling the same tonnage oven
the same division and under the same
operating conditions"

MORE AUTOMOBILE LAWS

If the city dads keep on it will be
almost an imperative necessity to
issue an automobile code or instruc-
tion book, as it is now almost an i'm
possibility for an ordinary person to
keep track of the many "don'ts," offs"
and confusing orders and rules al
ready on the municipal statute book.
Some of them are enforced and some
not so much so.
This latest addition to the present
voluminous set of rules was made
Monday night. 1t was an ordinance
passed under suspension of rules,
which prohibits any person over six
or drivers seat of an automobile
which is already occupied by two
adults.
This may be all right SO far as it
goes, and it may not. Some people
like it and some cuss it. What strikes
fellow as peculiar is that while it
forbids more than two grownups on
the front seat there is no limit to the
number of children under sixteen
which can be crowded into that space
you can take a dozen if you wish.
There was some eloquent oratory
previous to the adoption of the ordin-
ance by a five to four vote One
member kicked because he and his
wife could not bring his mother-in-
law back home with them for visit,
as his flivver had only one seat.
But it was passed all right, and
it's now up to the Mayor to sanction
it by attaching his John Handbook
thereto or to attempt to squelch it
! by a veto.

Industrial Yeggs"
Control Food Supply

Washington - In a speech that
would discount a soapboxer's denun-
citation Of profiteers, President Nc
Laurin of the American Wholesale
Grocers' association referred to man
ufacturers and distributors as Gin
dustrial yeggs."
He denounced the greed which is
driving these business men into prac-
tees which, even two decades ago,
"would have brought the blush of
shame to the face of thoughtful, God
fearing, man-loving men,"
"We speak glibly," he said, "of the
rights of the manufacturer and, as
wholesalers, talk smugly about the
protection of our own interests, but
l hear very little said concerning the
welfare Of the consumer for whom
this food is produced and distributed" B."
The consumer, he continued, has
been forgotten and the path from the
factory to the market basket has been
strewn with industrial yeggs.
