that horizon. The we'll was shot
twice. once with 40 quarts and
again with 60 quarts. The oil
showed slight increase when
the hole was cleaned, but the flow
was not enough to make the well
commercial. 1t was estimated
that the well would have made
one barrel a day.
Much excitement and heavy
trading in royalties resulted at
Choteau ard Bynum following
discovery of the showings. The
showings were found late at
night and confirmation of that
fact reached Great Falls next
day coincidentally with the news
that royalty was changing hands
at a rapid rate.
The sulphur water was found
at the top of the Madison lime,
at the exact depth previously es-
timated to be the top Of the lime

OHIO REDUCES
KEVIN OIL 20
CENTS BARREL

The Ohio Oil company Friday
posted 20-cent reduction on
crude oil in the Kevin field, max
ing the price $I.55 a barrel. A
similar cut was made few days
ago, the price dropping from
$l.55 to $I.15 in the two reduc-
tions.
The reductions closely follow a
partial shutdown of the field that
resulted from filled storage. Vir-
tually all tankage available is
filled, a considerable portion of it
having been purchased at the
higher prices.
The field is now placing on the
market less than one-half its nor
NAL output, the production being
confined to the amount that is
sold. A premium of 10 cents a
barrel is standard in the field,
making the price now realized
by producers $1.25.
According to oil men, the Ke-
vim reduction does not reflect
general market conditions affect
ing crude oil. 1t was stated by
men connected with the industry
that the price has been reduced
on crude oil in other fields rec
emily and that advances in gaso-
line prices were recently put in
to effect in some places.

HUGE MERGER
NAY EMBRACE
NORTH FIELD
Texas Pacific Ncraod as One
Of Companies affected in
Proposed Combine

Probably that the holdings of
the Texas-Pacifc Coal and Oil
company in Kevin-SunDurst will
shortly be linked with property
embraced with S200,000,OO0
merger of half a dozen operating
concerns was foreseen Wednes-
day with the announcement at
New York that the Texas Pacific
is expected to be included in the
combine.
An Associated Press dispatch
Wednesday named the Texas
Pacific as one of the companies
that is likely to consolidate with
the Waite Phillips, Simms Pet
roleum, Barnsdell corporations.
Skelly Oil and Independent Oil
and Gas. The principal opera
tions Of these companies are
carried on in the Mid-continent
field and the Barnsdall corpora
tions would serve as a nucleus of
the proposed merger.
Negotiations for the consolida-
tion are rapidly nearing compile
ti0n. the dispatch stated with
prospects that formal announce
ment Of the plans will be made
within the next week. The corr
solidation is under consideration
with bankers and interests con-
trolling the various companies.
New financing involved in the
different proposals range froA
SIS, 100000 to S40,O0O,000 in
bonds and between S10,000,0O0
and $40, 100000 in other securi-
ties, public offerings Of which
will follow the formal announce
ment Of the merger terms.
The fact that the BarnsdaII
and Phillips companies are en-
gagged principally in the market
ing end of the oil industry, spec
ulation here as to whether the
recent purchase by the Texas
Pacific Of the Homestake Ex-
ploration company's northern
Montana interests was made
with an idea to installing re-
finery in Montana. The Texas
Pacific took control of the ex-
ploration company by purchas-
ing the one-fourth interest held
by Great Falls and other Mon
tana men. The consideration was
Approximately S317,00O,0OO.
Rumors persist here that the
merger now under consideration
will lead in a short time to the
entire group passing into the con-
troll Of the entire group passing
into the control of the Standard

Of Indiana, either Of which even
Qualities would possibly mean the
