GLASGOW AREA TO Be
VIEWED ARNOLD
Contract Made for Examination Of
Lone Tree Structure by Cecil
Ogist

Glasgow, April 15.-The Lone Tree
structure, "a miles southwest of Glas-
gov, is to be the subject of a very
thorough geological survey under the
direction of Ralph Arnold, consulting
geolOgist of Los Angeles, and identi
fled with Montana oil development.
within a short time, and should the
report be favorable, it is probable a
test we'll will be completed this year.
according to Albert Nelson of this
city.
Mr.. Nelson announced that he had
signed contract with Mr.. Arnold
and his Montana associates which
calls for the sending of a competent
geologist to the structure at once
The results of the survey will be per
sonally checked by Mr.. Arnold and
should he report favorably the initial
we'll on the structure will be started
by September Is. 1t is planned to
sink the test $500 feet, which, Mr..
Arnold believes, will penetrate all
formations In the structure which
are capable of containing oil.
Mr.. Nelson, one Of the heavy stock
holders in the Glasgow Exploration
company, has been interested in the
Lone Tree structure for some time
and, with H. A. Voter, local hard
ware man, had the field examined IN
1921 by R. L. Van Burgh, at that
time connected with the Plateau Oil
corporation of Denver. Mr.. Van
Burgh's report, which asserted the
structure was enclosed and worthy of
a test, was submitted to C. T. Lupton
then chief geologist with the corpor-
alton. Mr.. LuptOn is now associated
with Mr.. Arnold in an exploration
program whic his expected to extend
over several western states.
With the report of Mr.. van Burgh
to back his convictions that the struc-
ture was worthy of test, Mr.. Mel
son induced a number of Glasgow
men to file for government
permits covering the entire struc-
ture.
While no announcement has been
made, it is understood that E. B. EN-
rick, who has been associated with
Mr.. Arnold in the exploration work (
On the Sweetgrass arch, probably will

ture prior to Mr.. Arnold's personal

All OF this new equipment is in adj

department is depending for this sea-
son at least, upon II trucks received
from the war department several
years ago, all of which have been ov-
erhauled and serviced. The old cat
erpillar units, also obtained from the
government, will be used for drawing
maintainers, for the operation of the
crushing plants and other forms of
belt work, hauling scrapers and trap
ping gravel.
The operation of a central repair
shop has been discontinued and all
repairs and shop work will be per-
formed at private shops located with

is operating.
1t Is anticipated that upon this
work during the present
season approximately 100 teams and
200 men will be employed. A system
OF cost reports has been installed so
that at the end of the season the de-
partment will have a complete record
