Commission.
The road, which has undertaken to

December 81, 1881, for completion of
the work, explaining that a number
of obstacles had been encountered in

Indian Medicine Men Used Queer
Means to Effect Cure of Patients

freshing after the intense heat of the
hut.
Some Medicine Women
There were medicine women as we'll as
medicine men, that showed great skill in
their profession, guild, or whatever it
might be called. The story of one Of
these has frequently been told. Major
Culbertson's child having a bad attack
Of Group, and obtaining no relief from
the remedies tried, Mrs. Culbertson
asked to have a medicine woman called
in. The major asserting to this, the
medicine woman came, and sprinkling
water on heated stones, Strove to in
crease their efficacy by an accompany
ing chant. Father Point, at breakfast
in the room below, heard with horror
the pagan invocation. Hurrying up the
stairs, he grasped the woman by the
back Of the neck, and expedited her
leaving the premises. He then returned
to his breakfast, which he interlarded
with lecture to Major Culbertson for
encouraging such doings. However the
medicine woman may have offended the
Higher Powers, undoubtedly the child
recovered, for we are not informed that
it died.
The means used to bring about the
cure, were similar to those employed by
an army doctor when one Of my children
had the Group. 1t was in the night, as
we were coming up the Missouri on a
steamboat in 1881. The fires were ex-
tinguished in engine room and kitchen
In order to heat water sufficiently to
produce vapor, lighted candle under a
| tin cup half filled with water finally
brought relief to the sufferer, although
the doctor did not sing.
General Wheeler tells of a half-breed
who was i'll with jaundice. He was treat

known formation to be the red beds
which overlie the producing member Of
the Kevin-Sunburst field by approXi~
mately 500 feet, so it was by something
like that distance that the Leota COM
pany failed to complete its test, while
one of the foremost geological authort-
ties Of the present day, in report made
few months ago, holds the well was
from five to six miles southeast Of a
location that is worthy of modern test.
The Tribune's first story Of the we'll
was published Sept. 2, 1904. The story
was carried under the heading, Natural
Gas Well Not Far From City," and was
based on a report brought in by the late
P. B. Gallagher and Dwight Chaffee.
1.-The first natural gas well that has
ever been drilled in Montana is now
flowing at a point within 80 miles Of
Great Falls, and if subsequent eXplora-
tions should develop the existence Of
great volume Of gas, with sufficient pres
sure, the discovery would be Of great
Importance to the city.
''The discovery was made by P. B. Gal
lagher and Dwight Chaffee, who brought
the news to the city early this morning
and in a few days they will return to the
well with party Of friends to file upon
the surrounding land, all Of which is Of
the public domain.
"At present they will not reveal the
exact location Of the well, merely stating
that it is 80 miles northwest Of the city.
'Ndr. Chaffee is engaged in the drilling
business and has been working on the
we'll in question for some time. At a
depth Of about 80 feet the bit entered an
oil shale and has continued in that for
nation for 270 feet, depth of $50 feet
now having been attained.
Use Gas for Cooking at Well
"At a depth of 800 feet, a flow of gas
was struck and week ago tonight Mr..
Gallagher and Mr.. Chaffee cooked their
supper by gas. Last night they cooked a
prairie chicken 'mulligan' over the fire,
placing two iron bars across the four
inch casing and setting the kettle across
them, and they state shat, after they
had left the camp the fire was visible for
four or five miles.
THE pressure has about trebled in the
| fifty feet drilled since the gas was first
encountered and while the hole is four
inches in diameter for the entire depth

was repaired.
Huge Success
He then had the merry-go round

Miners Mount Wooden Steeds
Every wooden horse was mounted by
a child when a crowd Of about 20 half
drunken miners from the three men
toned mines appeared along East Broad
way. Ready for any diversion, one Of
the crowd shouted, We've bin ridin'
cages all month. Let's ride a harse."
The idea took like wildhre. Children
ly, from the hobby horses and 20 husky
miners mounted the steeds.
I'll bet dollar me harse stops near
est the injine," shouted another.
Lave us all put in a dollar and the
man on the harse that stops forninst

The Race

get up the money" another shouted at
hat and with a toot of the engine, the
dummy coloTed boy grinding on the or
gan, the whirl started.
1t was early in the evening and still
daylight. The shouting of the men and
the general din of the yelling children
brought hundreds to the scene. Soon
there was a half dozen customers foI
each horse.
Conrad Makes Money
Conrad raised the price of a ride to 25
cents but the crowd continued eager tc

TN THE DAYS when a hot dog went
with a five-cent glass of beer,
when coffee was not listed in the
price Of a meal and the butcher often
gave away a soupbone with a twO-bit
steak. a cornwall company hit Butte.
And Butte hit back.
The camp was probably the widest
and sportiest town in the world at
the time. Horse-racing, dog-racing,
league baseball, championship prize
fights vie with the square faro bank,
roulette for plungers and pool rooms
listing odds on every race track in
the country. while road-hOuses figured
a nights receipts Of 81 600 as but an

Butte was too fast for the carnival
company The second night a local Don

The manager of the company lost his
bank roll bucking roulette at King and

carnival lost the salary money at the
race track.

Two Of the troupe, both smooth circus
spoilers, took the merry-go-round fol
their back pay.
Jim Conrad, we'll known man about

Gas Wen Found at Brady
Filing on the claims in the field were
made at Fort Benton, to which place the
excitement incident to the strike was as
marked as in Great Falls, Helena and
Butte. The River Press of that year
published news stories of the rush for
claims and spoke frequently Of the oil
and gas strike.
About 10 years after the Leota well
was abandoned gas was found at shall
low depths in two other wells drilled in
that vicinity, but these, too, were off
structure, according to the surveys made
within the last two years. One Of these
wells was within the town of Brady and
the gas flow was kept a closely guarded
ly leaked out and several residents Of
Choteau and Conrad decided to make an
investigation without consulting the
owners of the we'll.
Creeping some distance through the
darkness, the explorers reached the we'll
unObSerVed, but were not certain they
could detect gas. Just to make sure, one
Of the party struck a match and the re-
Sultant proof was abundant. A burst OF
flames enveloped the top of the we'll and
the man who had lighted the match was
| severely burned about the face. The
survey of the field and leasing of the
structure last year have caused the story
to be retold, but the identity Of the man
who was burned is not isclosed-IurtheT
than that since the we'll episode he has
gained rather wide political prominence
The Bozeman courier., 1927-11-25

A PERIOD of % years, the pros
n pecting of some scores of fields,
- a number of important discover
les and an annual production Of g.
100000 barrels of oil are milestones
which separate the present from
Montanas first recorded oil excite
ment.
In 1904 oil exploration operations were
carried on in the Two Medicine country,
near where is now Glacier park, and
deposit of oil shale on Birch creek, then
in Teton county, awakened some inter-
est, but it remained for the natural gas
well drilled 80 miles northwest OF Great
Falls to precipitate the states first Stam-
pede for oil acreage and hold the public
attention over a considerable period.
The hole was started as water well
and the excitement spread when now
Of gas developed from the 300-foot level.
Fifty thousand acres of land in the vicin-
ity of it was staked as oil claims and
completion Of the well was undertaken
by the Leota Mining & Manufacturing
company, a South Dakota corporation
that was revived for the purpose. Nearly
100 Great Falls men were identified with
the company and many others from Hell
ena, Butte, Fort Benton and other north
ern Montana points were subscribers for
the stock.
The story of the we'll as told in the
files Of the Great Falls Tribune for that
year shows something of a contrast be-
tween drilling methods Of the present
and % years ago and reveals the limita-
tiOns of the science Of oil geology during
that period. Eventually the well was
drilled to approximately 1900 feet with
a four inch hole, and at that depth the
operators took steps to procure further
geological advice. On the best geologi-
cal authority of the day the well was
abandoned at around 200 feet because
the bit had entered a red formation ot
which nothing was then known. 1t was
considered certain, after prolonged con-
ferences, that this formation marked {
depth too great to permit production tt

The Conley home at the old Irwin lake
is famous for its hospitality and among
those who did not forget q cordial well

millionaire silk king of Japan, who, after
he had been entertained in a manner
befitting his royal connections, expressed
appreciation to his host and told him
that he would send him a japanese Ian

COnley replied that he never accepted
anything in return for his hospitality and
that his friends were always welcome
without gifts. But the little baron did
not forget his promise.

which weighs over 100 pounds. The

whose art was handed down from the
