Duck Hunting
Season is to Open
Next Monday

The duck hunting season opens
September 16 and extends until sun
down, December 81. Most Montana
hunters will travel farther than usual
for their duck hunting this year, is
the opinion of the Montana fish and
game warden. In his opinion
there are plenty of ducks in the state
this seasbn. The Matching season
was good and there has been plenty
of feed. Drouth, however, has caused
the disappearance of hundreds of pot
holes and some artificial lakes.
1t may be that the disappearance
of water has caused an early mi
grafton CT native birds, says the war
den, but he believes there will be
plenty if the hunter is able to travel
to the larger bodies of water to get
them. He recalls that for some rea-
son there was no big flight over
Montana last year.

forests lying within their borders for

great bulk owing to the western sta
tes in which the principal areas of
public lands lie. The state shares re-
present federal payment in lieu of
taxes. The forest income is chief
ly derived from timber sales and
grazing
Western states will share in the
receipts as follows: Arizona, $133,-

County Asks Tax
Deeds Delinquent
Realty Property

Tax deeds covering many parcels
of realty property in Carbon county,
on which taxes are delinquent prior
to 1926 will be requested by the
county commissioners from time to
time. Tax certificates to the land
have been acquired by the county. In
most instances the amount of unpaid
taxes are comparatively small.
Acquisition of the land is in accor-
dance with the policy of the county
commissioners to remove nontax pro-
ducing property from assessment
rolls and to attempt to dispose of this
land to persons willing to meet the
assessments.
Approximately S248,0OO in unpaid
taxes exists in Carbon County.

FRANNIE WELL
FINDS PAY IN
MADISON LIME
PRODUCTION EXCEEDS 9, 600
BARRELS DAILY. DRILL % A
DEPTH OF 3.02S FEET

The Midwest Refining company
last week made big strike on the
Frannie structure. Production has
been found in the Madison limestone,
located on the southwest quarter of
the northwest quarter, section %,
township So north, range 98 west,
Park county, Wyoming. Oil, free
from sulphur and water, was found
at a depth of 3,028 feet. 1t is an
important discovery as it is the first
commercial producing well found in
the Madison lime in Wyoming. The
oil tests about Is gravity, and is
producing in excess of 5000 barrels
daily.
A number of Red Lodge business
men are interested in this new field,
among them being D. M. Marino, Jr.,
j. W. Chapman, DR.. E. M. Adams,
and j. P. Plunkett.
A recent test made on a structure
near Frannie drilled through the
Madison lime and found no satura-
tion of oil and most geologists did
not consider that the Madison lime
would produce at Frannie. The Pro-
ducers and Refiners company recent
ly abandoned large tract in the
field which has now been taken over
by S. G. Ferdig.
Julius Peters Of Great Falls was
in Red Lodge yesterday and he sta
ted that the new Frannie gusher is
the biggest we'll in the Rocky Noun
tain region today.
Rig on Badger Basin Well
The rig, recently destroyed by fire
on the Badger Basin well, has been
rebuilt and drilling commenced again
this week. The we'll is giving up a
small amount of free green oil and
it is expected that Frontier sands will
be reached in the net four hundred
feet. Drilling has been financed by
Julius Peters of Great Falls. Mr..
Peters financed the Frannie field and
is the owner Of large part of the
region.
Dry Creek
The Dry Creek we'll is drilling at
$500 feet and making headway, and
drillers expect to reach the Frontier
sands within the next sixty days.
Local people are now using the new
road to Dry Creek and find that it is
built on an easy grade and cars are
able to pull the steep pitches IN sec
ond gear.
