MORE BASEBALL

A few weeks ago The Review urged
that Kevin have q, baseball team the
coming spring. Following our article,
practically every paper in this neigh
borhood began spreading the news,
and all are of the same opinion for
their towns. Shelby will have a
team, as we'll as Sunburst, Cut Bank
and i'm fact most every town in this
community.
a good home baseball team is a
necessity to any town, and Kevin has
plenty of material this year to com
pete with any town in this section of
the state, but the thing to do is to
ge. busy NOW and let's get organ
ized. Say we call q meeting some
time next week ard select man

that every business man in the city
will support good home team, if
the interested players will only get
busy and show that they mean bust
ness.

O'NeiI Purchases Bic
Tr0Ct Of LIDmdn 60.

Purchase of oil and gas leases on
1,040 acres of land in the Kevin-Sun,
burst field from the Lipman Oil com
pany was announced here Friday by
Louis B. Zip" O'Neil Of Sunburst,
president Of the Montana chapter Of
the Rocky Mountain OH and Gas as
sociation.
Mr.. O'Neil with his brother John,
became interested in the Kevin1Sun-
burst field soon after its discovery
and established the International re-
finery at Sunburst and obtained con
siderable property IN the field. Last
summer the properties owned by the
two brothers were sold to the Calf
ornia Petroleum corporation, but
they have continued to act as man
ayers of the Montana operations of
The corporation.
The latest purchase, Mr. O'Neil
stated, was no. for the cooperation,
but will be held in his own name.
The land involved in the transfer is
in four tracts ami LES in the west
and southwest portions Of the field
includes McKensie Permit
The largest Of the four tracts taken
over by Mr.. O'Neil is the McKensie
permit Of $50 acres, located in town

In 24-hOur TeSi

The California Pet. Moe No 2
completed January II with 300 feet
Of oil in the hole, was shot during the
last week with 40 quarts from ,459
to 1859 and after being cleaned, it
swabbed 115 barrels in the first "a
hours. The tubing has been run and
a pumping test will be made as soon
as possible.
Development Of this we'll is con
sidered an important factor in prov
ing large amount of acreage as it
is fully a quarter of a mile north Of
present production A great deal Of
activity is anticipated for this section
as soon as the weather opens up.
The Moe No. 2 is the first well drill
ed by the California Pet. since it took
over the holdings Of the Western Pet
roleum corporation.
In the Adams-Haskins No. 4, the
hole filled with water at the juncture
Of the Ellis4Madison at 1,465. 1t was
drilled to 1,525 but will probably be
abandoned
Sulphur water was encountered in
the California Pet. Dahl No. at
149O and the hole has been drilled
to 1.527 and is now plugged and aban-
doned. If production had been dis
covered, large acreage would have
been proven but as it stands, the
area appears poor since the hole was
drilled sufficiently high on the struc-
ture.
Two wells were completed during
the past week, none spudded in and
none started. The @S1" Petroleum.

the hole 800 feet and could not be

Several drilling contractors have

busy until August These outfits
have several strings of tools each and
by March there viii be great deal

Five New Wells Spudded Last Week; Drilling Gets
Under Way Again on Many Leases After
Shutdown Forced by Weather

Lease and production conditions
now taking form in the Kevin-Sun
burst oil field will be the principal
factors behind a drilling campaign
that will call for the sinking Of be-
tween 45O and 500 hew wells during
the coming season, it was estimated
here Saturday by John T. O'Neil Of
the California Petroleum corporation.
Field operations on a scale greater
than has marked the opening of any
other former season will get under
way as soon as the weather permits
and will continue without interrupt
ton throughout the summer.
The recent drop in the fields pro-
duction, while not as large as has
been estimated, has brought the daily
output considerably below refinery
requirements, creating a situation
that serves as an inducement for OPP
orators to speed up their field work.
Combined with this is the fact that
large proportion OF the leases in the
field are nearing their fifth year Of
existence, making validation, re-leas-
ing or abandonment necessary.
Since the greater portion of the
leases thus obtained are within the
main producing areas, it is antici.
patad, Mr. O'Neil stated, that most
operators will adopt the policy Of
drilling on acreage that has mt been
already validated Much of this drill
ing will be in big production territory
offering the probability that the sea
sons operations will greatly increase
the fields daily runs
Every indication is that the Ke-
vin-Sunburst field is entering its
most active year" Mr. O'Neil stated
operators confidently expect that
more drilling will be carried on than
has been undertaken on any prev
ious year Work on an extensive
scale will get under way as soon as
weather conditions permit and there
isn't now in sigh chance that op-
arations will decrease in volume dur
ing the season"
The daily production Of the field
now is approximately 1890 barrels,
which is considered to be 5000 bar
rels below the run Of which the terri
fory is capable. Some 20 producing
eases are entirely shut down because
If weather conditions and if these
we're added to the daily runs the to-
al production would probably be be-

The posted price of Kegin Sun5ursi
crude oil is $135 a barrel, with II

not unreasonable to expect an I'D

price

The crew continued drillias until

to be one OF the most erratic on the

the second had an initial production Of
20 barrels, but is AZ, now producing.
Two other 16O-acre tracts taken
over by Mr.. O'Neil are a portion Of
the Hocksprung farm in section 4-SI-
W and the Cypriam- Gorham lease.
No definite drilling program has
been decided upon by Mr.. O'Neil, but
he announced Friday that he intend
ed to develop the properties, adding
that work probably will not start un-.
til summer arrives.
Three Wells Drilled
The Lipman Oil company drilled
only three wells on its holdings in the
field and failed to find sufficient pro-
duction to make operation of the one
well, in which oil was found, profit
able. All OF the wells were drilled
during June and Juy in 1925 and since
that time the company has not been
active All Of the leases transferred
to Mr.. O'Neil are located within the
field, however, and as
three Of the tracts have not been
tested, it is expected that Mr.. O'Neils
operations will be followed closely by
other operators who hold acreage in
The vicinity Of his leases.
