Is, according to data received
here Wednesday, an increase OF
1880 barrels as compared to the
previous week, when production
was given as $500 barrels. This
does not include the crude oil
used by the independent refinery
in the field.
The crew at the Ohio-Rounds-

Then when the Queen City

aarrell well on his selected loca-
Ition, inquirers were in reeep-
tive frame OF mind for any sorq
of an answer.
This is the answer currently
related: R. E. O'Keefe, formerly
of Chinook. has returned from
Seattle with forbid the word
mot doodle bug. but a mag
netic oil locating device. Mr.. o.
Keefe assisted in perfecting the
device with the cooperation, it is
stated Of the mathematicians of
the University of Washington.
1t is magnetic machine that is
influenced by metals. Oil is a
non-conductor. In place where
there is no oil between the sur
face of the ground and the met
ais in the center of the earth,
the magnetic needle will record
the presence of the metals and at
the same time the absence of oil.
But if there is an intervening
layer of oil between the earth's
surface and the metals of the
earth it will not record any mag
netism. So that particular spot is
the place to drill.
There are no metals, as rule,
between the earth's surface and
the horizons from Whicn this
Kelvin n-Sunburst oil is coming.
Accordingly, this new device will
be influenced in magnetic at
only by metals existing
below the Kootenai and Ellis
sands. If the metals do not re-
cord on the needle, then it is
that a non-conductor
pool Of oil interferes.
This device was tried out on
The Queen City No. 16 well.
"You need not figure on off
setting this well because it is 60
ng to be dry hole," Mr.. o.
Keefe is said to have told John
son.
And sure enough, it was!
Then when johnson brought
n a 600-barrel we'll on the alter
native location, there remained
title argument abodt the accura
" of the new device.
So it is that there is great ex-
element in Shelby" The new
leyice, incidentally, has spotted

that a location has

O'NEILL BROTHERS
BUYS REFINERY

Purchase of the Canadian Oil
Refinery company plant at Leth-
bridge by O'Neil Brothers of Sun
burst was announced by Tip
O'NeiI.
The Lethbridge plant has 3
daily capacity of 400 barrels, and
will be operated in conjunction
with the international refinery
at Sunburst. The Sunburst plant
has a daily capacity of 5,4O0 bar
rels, which will bring the daily
oroducnion of the O'Neil plants
to $500 barrels. They will take
over the Lethbridge plant in
about three weeks according to
reports.
Increased demand for Kevin
product on the Spokane and 9TH
er western markets is understood
to have been the major factor in
expansion. The Lethbridge plant
will handle tops shipped from
the Sunburst refinery. The bulk
of the O'Neil refinery products
are now marketed in Spokane.
Lethbridge is 90 miles north Of
Sunburst.
The Sunburst plant has been
operating virtually at capacity
during the present season. The
posted price Of crude in the north
field is now $1.55, a premium of
10 cents a barrel being paid by
O'Neil Brothers.
