WATER FOR
KEVIN LOOKS
GOOD TO E. |.

Mr.. E. Lindstrom of Billings, ar
rived here the latter part of last week
in company of Jack ODonnell, direct
or of the Great Northern Iron Works
of this city. Mr.. Lindstrum is capi-
talist and is considering the PROPOSE
ton of piping water thru the Kevin
oil field. While here he was escort
ed over this entire section by Lorns
Lorenson and other business men,
and it is claimed by those who were
out with this gentlemen that he is
very much encouraged with the prop
osition, as he found available supply
of water to necessitate his wants.
Mr. Lindstrum returned to Billings
Monday in order to be there to vote
at the primaries, but he expects to
return again about the Is of this
month to make definite plans on
the water proposition.
The citizens of Kevin and the field
should encourage Mr. Lindstrum in
his matter, as it means the making
of our town, but of course, the Kevin
supply is only secondary in this mat
ter, as the field supply is the main
factor to which he is thriving.
Water for Kelvin was promised at
the time of incorporation. and water
is what we want, and must have, and
we say, and believe that if we can
not get this water into town without
any other means, we are in favor of
the town going ahead and bonding
she city to this extent We cannot
expect our town to go ahead without
his necessity, and will be the means
Of many business concerns. Let's all
get together and boost work hard and
get water piped into Kevin.

BERCER-CREEN
WELL GOING
DOWN FAST

G. F. Ewing and H. E. Krebs, prom
inent business men of Sand Point,
Idaho, were here this week looking
after their interests in the Berger
Green well, which is drilling on the
rim, 13 miles northwest of Kevin.
Both Messers Krebs and Ewing are
prominent business men of Sand
Point,and they, with their associates,
control a large block of acreage in
this section The well which they
are now drilling is down below 1900
feet, and this test is being wached
with considerable interest by oil men
The acreage has been reported on
by several prominent geologists,
which looks very favorable to them.
The test will be drilled to the Mad
ison lime or deeper if production is
not found before. If production in
this we'll should be found it would
mean a great deal to the city of he-
vim and surrounding territory as it
would prove up an entirely new
structure.
These leases were turned by M. G.
Green to the Sand Point parties, who
are entitled to great deal of credit
for proving an entirely new structure.

CURB PUT ON
OIL AND GAS
APPEARANCES

Washington, July 30.-AlI persons
filing applications in drawing for oil
and gas permits ON public lands must
state in the future whether they are
filing in good faith for their own
benefit or in behalf of other persons
or corporations, according to an
amended regulation Just made public
by the interior department.
The amendment was made neces-
sary because recent protests against
the filing of numerous applications
by different persons, all in the intef-
est of one individual, thereby pre-.
venting equal rights in the drawing
to bona fide applicants.
Terms of the amended regulation
provide that in case applications are
made for the benefit of other persons
or corporations, a full DISCLOSURE of
the facts must be made. Any appli-
cant not meeting these requirements
will not be allowed to participate in
the drawings for oil or gas permit.
The amendment also provides that
INV applicant who fails to disclose all
interests other than his own will for
felt amy claim to a return of applica-
tion fees and subject his permit, if
one is granted, to cancellation.

TWO CANADIAN
OIL DOMES TO
BE EXPLORED

Two Canadian oil structures, dis
covered and geologized by Gordon
Campbell, discoverer of the Kevin-
Sunburst field, will be explored this
summer by dominion operators, Mr..
Campbell announced Wednesday on
his arrival from Calgary.
One strucsure known as the Camp
bell-Aldersine, south of the Ranch
mans Oil company, by which Mr.
Campbell has been employed as geol-
ogist for several monthhs. This struc-
ture embraces 10000 acres and has
an excellent prospect to yield com
mercial oil, Mr.. Campbell thinks. Mr.
Campbell will, as consulting geolo
gist, be in charge of operations, as
soon as drilling is started. A rig is
now being assembled for the first
well.
The other structure is located north
Of Medicine Hat, Sask., and was dis
covered by Mr. Campbell in 1914 He
then recommended it for exploration
and the field was leased by Ontario
capitalists who retained the leases for
several years, but were unable to de-.
gelop because of the then war condf
tions. Two months ago, Mr.. Camp
bell was asked to confer with the
ormer lessees and made trip to
Ontario for that purpose. The former
development enterprise was revived
and the Ontario-Alberta Development
company, Ltd, was formed to con-
duct operations Operations will be
started during the present year.
Mr.. Campbell's appeal to the Unit
ed States supreme court from his
conviction here last year will come
up for consideration at Washington
late next month, he is informed. 1t
hen will be decided whejaer the
high court jury here of fraudulently
using the mails in the promotion OF
IN oil syndicate. His first appeal was
to the circuit court of appeals at San
Francisco, in which the lower court
was ustoined.-Tribune.

NEW TEST WELL
IS PLANNED TWO
MILES FROM SHELBY

Shelby, July 30.-A test for oil is
to be Immediately made at a location
two miles northeast of Shelby, in a
territory recommended for prospect
ng some time ago by G. L. Emmons.
Rig material now is being hauled to
ocation in sw sw sw 31-33-2 W, and
he well will be drilled on site
spotted by Mr. Emmons.
A block of acreage in this area has
been obtained by u. B. Peterson and
e. W. Edwards, drilling contractor
and L. e. Conrad of Spokane Pro
duction is considered possible in the
Sunburst sand, which is expected to
be reached at 1900 feet. The Ellis
is estimated to be at a depth Of l.,
$50.
Mr. Peterson has been actively in
terested in the field for a long per
od. He is interested in the well drill
ed by the Big Elephant company on
the Strange lease, in 31-35-3 W, and he
also organized the DUPONT company,
in which he holds half interest The
Dupont is located on the Leach lease
and is financed by Canadian capital.
The well to be drilled near Shell
by will be spudded within the next
week. Discovery of oil at this loca-
ton would be of tremendous import
ance to Shelby and much interest
centers in the well. Many operators
have maintained that the area is on
an oil structure and drilling has been
recommended by different geologists.
Because CT it's location, it is con-
sidered highly probable that an i'm
portant gas strike will be made and
it is contemplated that this would be
taken over by the Shelby Oil & Gas
company, which was organized last
year and was granted franchise in
Shelby in the city election 1t was
announced some time ago that the
gas company intends to drill a well,
but it is now thought that it will
take advantage of any gas found in
the Peterson well, which is located
between the Ohio-Berg AMI Cox gass-
ers

RICE-STANNARD
RUNS WILD
FLOODS PRAIRIE

Shelby, July 30.nThe Rice-Starnard
No. IL well, sw sw 3O-35-1 W. created
considerable excitement Friday after
noon when it went out of control and
ran wild.
For two hours the well shot oil all
over the prairie near the hole and
several hundred barrels was lost be-
fore the crew could bring it NJ
control. This is one of the big wells
on the Stannard lease.
Rice-Security No. 8 Sc NV NV 3O-oo
j W, is drilling below 500 feet and
the No. g., on the same lease, is be-
low 500 feet. This is one acreage
taken over by the Rice company
about a week ago from the Security
company and for which it was re-
ported that the Rice paid $4,000. 1t
is a part of the big State-Stannard
lease.
Fleming & Wilson are spudding in
on sW 1892 W. This Well is Delne
drilled by the Zenith Oil corporation
of Minot, N. D., and is owned by
capitalists and others who have be-
come interested in the possibilities OF
south of Shelby The drilling COM
pany has taken a turnkey contract
for the first we'll
Much interest has developed in the
Zenith well and it is reported tina the
parties interested have taken a large
block of leases in the territory! The
geological work was done by Mr..
West, one of he members OF the
group which is financing the well.

KALISPELL-KEVIN
NOW PAYING 20
PERCENT MONTHLY

The old saying that misfortune
never comes singly, like all other bad
luck omens must be reversed when
applies to Kalispell-Kevin Oil com
pany, as in the language of the old
gambling days, they double shoot the
turn in every instance wherever
chance enters unto the scheme of
fortune This week he dir -ctors or
dered Secretary Lang to niaKe out
the divided checks for 20 per cent
instead of Is, which has been the
prevailing monthly dividend for the
past several months. The stock
holders of the local company will re-
ceive their 18th dividend Monday for
Jusy on 20 per cent basis. This
will bring the monthly income of the
original members of the company who
invested $500 for 200 shares, to $4,
600 per month, provided they have
retained the original number shares
making 400 per cent per month on
the original investment. Just as this
telegram was received from the field
saying that two more wells came in
on acreage in which local company
is interested
Last week the Kalispell-Kevin reg
istered two new wells of the gusher
variety and Monday of this week a
telegram was received at the Kalis-
pell office saying that a ghsher was
brought in on the Rice-Stannard in
section 30-35-1, estimated at better
than 1000 per day, and that on the
same day one was brought in on the
Asa Abel place, in the east half of
26-35-2 The wire stated that this was
a good we'll, but did not estimate its
production.
The amount of money required to
pay 20 per cent on the capital stock
of the KalispellKevin is $55,300 and
this amount will be paid out from
the companys office in this city for
at least six gnonths and probably
longer according to a statement made
by one of the trustees yesterday. 1t
may be necessary to lower this divi-
dend during the severe winter months
it is difficult to take the oil out he
said When asked how much money
had been paid out to Kalispell-K
stockholders up to date, our inform
ant said: "This is the sixteenth divi-
dend, but the earlier ones were small.
The company started out with 212
per cent which was not raised for
four months. Then 5 per cent was
paid for number of months, after
which it was boosted to 10 per cent
and about four months ago the divi-
dend was raised to Is per cent, so
you will see that most of the time
since we started paying dividends the
amount paid monthly was 10 per cent
or less during the Is months period
At that, the company has brought tc
Kalispell no less. than $685. $50, and
nearly all of that total is paid out to
Flathead county people. In the next
six months Kalispell-Kevin will pay
out nearly as much to its stockhold-
ers in dividends as it has in the past
16 months The total will be $751;
800, reaching a grand total of nearly
three-quarters of million dollars in
less than two years. ."-Flathead Moni-
