B-West Refinery

A deal negotiated the fore part
of the week was that of the Big
Yves Oil company taking full con-
troll of the Montana Giant refn-
cry at this place. 1t is under
stood that this deal has been
pending for some time, while the
Review had heard many rumors.
the real facts were not made
known until this week.
The Big West Oil company is
one of the pioneer holding and
development companies in the
Kevin field, organized by w. R..
Hawley in 1921. His company
drilled a validation hole on the
Ruby Allen farm. the first well
in east Kevin field, in the sum
mer Of 1921. The company has
completed II successive produc-
ers since August, 1924.
A quantity of the Big West
production has been run to the
Montana Giant refinery through
the latter's tWo-inch line until
the Montana Giant is said to
have owed the Big West some
$50, 900 secured by a mortgage
on the plant.
T. J. Landry, who has been
manager of the Kevin refinery,
recently became production en-
gineer of the Big West. Mr.. Ian
dry has again assumed the man
agement of the refinery. With
the exception Of Mr.. Landry as
suming charge of the refinery no
other changes are reported. G.
R. Craft will be the head book
keeper and the rest Of the force
will remain as heretofore.
1t is reported that the Big
West will make extensive i'm
proyements but nothing definite
is assured at this time.

Mid Northern Seeks Test
OF Net Proceeds Oil Levy
Pay Taxes Under Protest Pending Interpretation of
Law Relative to Royalty Rurned Over to
Land Owners

Suits designed to obtain a sup
rene court Interpretation of the
net proceeds tax law, as applied
to oil operations, are being filed
in every county n Montana
where the Mid-Northern Oil com
pany has production, according
to Mark O. Danford of Casper,
Wyo., who arrived here last
week.
The Mid-Northern company
has considerable production in
the Kevin and Cat Creek fields
and two producing wells in the
Lake Basin territory near Bill
ings.
Virtually all producing oil com
panies in the state are interested
in the outcome Of the suits for at
present they are required by the
state board of equalization to pay
their net proceeds tax on 100 per
cent Of the production despite
the fact that one-eight or more
of the production is usually re-
tanned by tha land holder. Mr..
Danford stated that nearly every
oil company in Montana paid it's
net proceeds tax to the counties
in which they operated under
protest this year. His concern
will seek to have the law inter
preted so that the payment Of
royalties to a land holder may be
deducted as an item of cost in
determining the net proceeds Of
the company for the year.
The matter was given consid-
cradle attention at the meeting

Take Many Year

| An assertion contained in a re
cent report of the u. S. geologi
cal survey to the effect that the
peak of production in the Kevir
field will probably not be reached
for several years"has caused in
creased interest in the future of
the field among oil men.
The surveys report pointed
out that drilling has been most
active in the neighborhood of the
more successful wells, but that
other large centers of production
may be struck at any time. Thus,
it is claimed, the fields may soon
produce a new pool in which large
production will be found, similar
to the Rice-Fulton, Queen City
Shoshone n d Baker-H -Howling
pools.
More interest has been shown
in the Kevin field by the Stand
ard companies in recent months
than at any previous time. The
fact that production which has
been developed is holding up
well and the possibility Of find
ing more large pools makes the
prospects bright and it is predict
ed that soon this field will COM
mand the attention of the entire
oil industry.
The geographical position of
the field, more than 300 miles
from the nearest producing area
and on the northern boundary of
the United States. alone makes
it one of the most imporeant oil
areas Of the country.
The total production of the
field last month, outside of the
amount used for fuel in the field,
was around 282,3 barrels, a
daily average of 9,106 barrels,
which is considered exceptional
ly good inasmuch as the field has
been running only about 40 per
cent of the total production since
December 13.
The Illinois Pipe Line company
handled 273, ,3O7 barrels during
December. making its total run
by it since entering the field A.
1858 barrels. The Montana
Giant refinery ran slightly over
1000 barrels during the month
and the Absher plant handled
about 1000 barrels in the same
period.

pay a net proceed tax on all the
royalty owners shares of the net
proceeds; a mighty dark outlook
for the oil business when you
consider that in some cases your
ownership of the proceeds is lin

The Montana net proceeds tax
law was adopted long before there
was any oil developments in the

it's application to the oil industry

home in the Sweet Grass hills,
where they reside on their farm.

was in the best of health, Mrs.
Gordon being up at five in the

the little one, and at this time
apparently there was nothing
noticed in the way of the baby
suffering in any manner Mrs.
Gordon then retired again and
when they awoke at seven the
