Neill Erickson, custodian Of the. An
cient Cliff dwellings near here, who
with his wife is at Clovis, Calf = for
a few months, writes p. II. Harley
of the local forest service office that
fog seems to hang perpetually over
that valley in the sunshine state and
that they saw it long enough once in
II days to learn which way was east
and which west. Neill remembers
there was a new moon just before
they left Flagstaff, but he hadn't seen
the moon since He regrets leaving
his compass back here, not daring to
venture far on the roads there be-
cause of the danger of getting lost.
His only solace, he writes, is that

ADAMS PLANS
PROGRAM OF
FORTY WELLS

Announcement of a new drill
ing campaign has been made by
I the Adams company Of Minnea-
polls in Kevin-Sunburst field
starting with a we'll on section
1-34-2W, on the Faunce permit.
Location is two locations east Of
the last Hibbing- -Sunburst pro-
ducer which was considerably
higher on structure than the No.
/, indicating that the locations
farther east should give some
large production. The Hibbing-
Sunburst wells have some of the
best sands found thus far in the
field.
The Adams company expects
TO drill from 80 to 40 wells this
year, providing water can be OBJ
tained. The company has recent
ly taken over the Monticello
property in the north half of the
northwest quarter Of section So
35-2W, the east forty Of which
is close to the big Homcstake
gushers in the same section.
Finances for the development
of the State lease, near the
Homestake wells, will be raised
in novel manner. Investors will
be given opportunity to purchase
their stock after the first well
has been drilled and tested for 10
days.
1T is much easier to secure
investments on that basis, | have
found, than any other way, ="
says J. H. Adams, "and we have
always tried to be fair in our
dealings and do not want any in
vestors to put money in a. deal
with US unless we can see real
dividends in sight in return.

For Oil City

o. H. Badger Of Winnett, is
unloading his stock of Gents
furnishing which arrived this
week. Mr.. Badger will be locat-
ed in the building formerly oc-
cupied by Olsen & Humphreys
as grocery store in the south
part of the city.
While Mr.. Badger is a new
citizen Of Kevin, he can hardly
be classed as a stranger for most
Of the oil field fraternity is ac-
quainted with him from Cat
Creek, having served the great
er part Of them at that place for
the past five or six years, will
work to his advantage at this
place.
Mr.. Badger will carry in his
stock, everything that goes to
to make mp a complete line Of
Gents furnishings, and his place
of business will be open to the
public sometime next week, the
place is being remodeled through
out and after his nice line Of
goods are displayed, Kevin will
have store that has long been
needed in this field.
Mr.. Badger is a married man,
and his wife and two daughters
who will come to Kevin in the
near future as soon as arrange
ments for a residence can be
made. The Review welcomes Mr.
Badger and family and wishes
them success in our city.

MEDELIA COMPANY
WELLLOOKS GOOD
SAYS, H. B. RICE

III. B. Rice, manager of the
Medelia Drilling company was a
pleasant caller at the Review Of
fee this week, and while here he
reports that his company are We
ry much encouraged with the
we'll which they are putting down
on on the nwA section 2-33-4W.
Mr.. Rice states that the first
showing at this we'll at 1925 feet
they found a saturation in sand
with three or four million feet of
gas. At 1885 feet they found a
larger quantity of gas and at
1925 feet they got more gas and
also some crude oil.
The officers of the Medelia
Drilling company are. C. t. Dahl
president, DR.. M. ]. James, sec
retary-treasurer, and H. G. Rice
is manager.
Mr.. Rice, at this time, could
not say if further drilling would
be done, but it is more than like
ly that it will. This is by far
the fartherest we'll that is being
drilled in the southwest part of
the field, and it has been watch
ed with interest. According to
Mr.. Rice's statements, there is
no doubt but what large produc-
tion will be found close to this
location, and should it be. it will
give the west side of the field
great prominence, and will mean
that a great number of wells will
be placed on the west side this
year.

NEW CLAIM TO OIL ACREAGE
CREATES LITIGATION TANGLE

lug the sums paid by the bank
and the Hart-Parr company at
the sheriff's sales. Dipple alleges
that on October 6, 1923, he ten
dered to the sheriff the sum OF
$4, 100 with interest, and demand
ed a certificate of redemption as
provided by law. He also, recites
the complaint, rendered an iden-
tical amount to Neville and the
other defendants in the action,
and placed these offers on records
in Toole county.
Dipple requests court order
directing the defendants to ex-
ecute the proper certificates of
redemption an d convey the
property, and that title be quiet
ed in his name. Cancellation of
the sheriff's deed to Neville is
also requested.
The complaint in intervention
has a definite bearing on the
action filed by the Sunburst COM
pany, which alleges that Neville
and his associates failed to abide
by a contract executed in Octob-
er, 1923. This document it is al
legged, granted the oil company
the rights of oil development on
the property in return for Sl.50O
as initial payment, and a subse-
quent So, 700 payment to be made
from oil revenues. The grantors
of the lease were also to receive
a 121z per cent royalty on all oil
taken from the land. = Tribune.

New complications in the litiga
tion between the Sunburst Oil &
Gas company and John 7. New
lille, j. A Johnson and E. A. Mo
line over an alleged breach Of
contract, developed Wednesday
when complaint in Intervention
was filed in district court by
Andrew E. Dipple. The action
centers on the alleged rights of
the Sunburst company to an oil
and gas lease on land in Toole
county, from which the case was
transferred to Cascade county.
Dipple, who was permitted to
file his complaint by order of
District Judge H. Fl. Ewing. is
the former owner Of the land in
question. and contends that he
has an interest in the matter in
litigation.
He states in his complaint that
he is the owner Of the west half
of section %, township 35 north
of range l west in Toole county,
and that Neville, Johnson and
Moline, claim to be trustees of
the property under a deed Of
trust executed by Neville Janu-
ary Is, 1928. Dipple declares that
on July "a, 1920, he delivered an
oil lease for the property to Cor
don Campbell, who subsequently
transferred the lease to the Sun
burst company, plaintiff in the
action.
On June 10, 1921, recites the
complaint, the Mohall State bank
requested foreclosure, naming A.
E. Dipple, j. S. Peters, Leslie
Dipple and Hart-Parr company
as defendants. On October 81,
1921, the land was sold to the
bank for Sl,245 by the Toole
county sheriff. The Hart Parr
company, which held a second
mortgage on the property also
instituted foreclosure proceed
ings and was granted a Judge
lment. This company on October
6, 1922, purchased the property
it is stated, at sheriff's sale for
$2,569, and gave notice of re-
demption.
Dipole contends that the com
pany was not at the time a cred
itor that had a lein by judgement
mortgage or attachment on the
property. On December IA, 1922
Neville redeemed the property
for S4,1O0, the amount represent

completed as is the six inch line
from there to the pumping sta
tion in 3035-l W. The new east
side pumping station has been
tested and probably will be in
operation next week.

the field has resulted in a decis-
ion to install another still at the
international refinery at Sun
burst When the addition is COM

capacity of 4,400 barrels a day
A new rate on road oil which,
it is believed, will assist in reliev-

town by the Great Northern rail-
way. The rate. which applies
from Great Falls, Sweet Grass,
Kevin, and Sunburst to st. Paul,
Minneapolis. Duluth and Super
ior, is 391z cents 100 pounds.
The Sunburst Oil & Refining
company has made application
for a lower rate from Great Falls
oyer the Great Northern to con-
Meeting points on the Milwaukee
and Northern Pacific roads.
Drilling costs have mounted
considerably, because of the wat
er shortage, but there is now con-
siderable drilling going on in the
field. The Ohio Oil company is
contracting for all the oil it can
buy at the posted price. $l.15 a
barrel. While no bonus is offered
