FRANNIE OIL WELL.
COMES IN TUESDAY

Tuesday word reached Red Lodge
that the Producers and Refiners well
in NWA, Sec. Z, 7. ST, R. 81 W.
drilled into the Tensleep and the oil
rose at once 1900 feet in the casing.
This makes the third producing well
brought in in the Frannie field in
less than year and virtually
proves a strip of land "a miles long.
running from northeast to southeast
with the town of Frannie about the
center of it.
The P. & R. spudded this hole in
late last fall and made good pro-
gress, until the severe weather of
last winter compelled them to shut
down, but early this spring opera
tions were resumed and good pro-
gress made until the Embar was
reached which contained showing
of oil and strong flow of water.
Not discouraged by this hard luck
the company proceeded until the
Tensleep was reached which con-
tained oil, making a flowing well Of
oil and water at 1857 feet.
Casing was then run and the
water in the embar packed off with
lead packer and the casing was
then run to the Tensleep and ce-
mented. Upon drilling through the
cement into the Tensleep a good flow
of oil was encountered, the amount
Of which will not be known until
pumping test is made, although it
compares favorably with the two
producers in the north end of the
field which will produce from 200 to
800 barrels per day.
In the north part of the structure
near the discovery we'll three rigs
are now in the process of construc-
tion and it looks as if in the near
future this field will be producing
crude oil on commercial basis.
In the Dry Creek field the Ohio
have in there N. P No. 2, reached
a depth of 1875 and are now running
casing to shut off flow of water
Drilling and under-reaming will be
continued until this 121s inch has
reached the vicinity of the eagle
formation where a strong flow Of
wet gas will be encountered. This
hole was spudded in 60 days ago and
remarkable progress has been made
50 far With the good showing of oil
encountered in the N P. No. 1 ii
is fully expected that the No. 2
well will be commercial producer
early this fall, and the development
of the entire field will then follow.
The Ohio has just completed a
road from the No. we'll to a point
where it intersects with the main
road about a mile above the coal
mine and in so doing it cuts the dis
tance from Bridger to the field six
miles, and saves a lot of hauling The
east end Of the field through which
the pipe line, telephone line and new
road passes begins to make things
look as if preparations were being
made for a general development Of
the entire field

RESIDENT
VISITS HOME TOWN

Hon. ]. E. Mushbach, Custodian of
the State Capitol Building and
grounds returned to Helena Monday
after two weeks vacation spent in
visiting Carbon County relatives and
friends. The relatives and friends"
matter was mere excuse for the
fact is that he came over to frater-
Mise with his old cronies, enjoy some
home cooking, get a few drinks of
1916 pure water and breathe a little
air uncontaminated by the dust and
smoke of the wicked city.
It is doubtful if there is any other
Carbon County resident who has
more loya friends within its borders
than has Ted. Mushbach. That they
were pleased when he was appointed
to his present position the first time
goes without saying but they were
gratified even more when he was re-
appointed to it by Governor Ericlx-
son for it proved to them that his
worth is appreciated by others be-
sides his home county people.
A Virginian by birth, Bourbon
by inheritance and Montanan by
adoption he typifies the fast dis
race of sturdy pioneers
who laid the foundations of the
Treasure State and who with infinite
sacrifice maintained its institutions.
Rancher, Postmaster, County Clerk,
Lawmaker, his career has been col
orful. When the state needed a real
custodian to guard and take care of |
its property Carbon County handed
it the fairest flower it could pluck I
from its rose garden.
But, they say that every man,
however seemingly perfect, has his
shortcomings and J. E. Mushbach is
no exception to the rule. For years
the hope has been indulged that he
would relent and vote for at least
a few of the candidates whose names
appear in the left hand column but
It looks like he will pursue his in
quitous political ways to the end, I
and unrepentant.
When you visit his office in the
Capitol about the first thing that
will attract your attention is the
grim visaged portrait of Andrew
Jackson that gazes down at the desk
If the Custodian from a heavy oak
frame on the opposite wall. Some
weeks ago a visitor, whose sight
wasn't the best, casually remarked |
hat he had never seen a picture of
Herb. Hoover taken in that pose be-
ore. Late reports are that the pa
lent is getting along nicely and
hat he will be able to leave the hos
'ital within a few days.

FEDERAL LAND BANK
WINS THEIR SUIT

A decision of widespread inter
est to the farmers, bankers and hol-
ders of mortgages in Montana was
handed down Saturday by the Su-
preme Court of this state.
The Federal Land bank of Spo-
kane, through its attorney, c. C. Ro-
wan, of this city, filed action in the
district court at Billings against
George NJ. Hays, county treasurer
of Yellowstone county, to compel him
by mandamus to compute the taxes
due on and permit the bank to re-
deem certain forties of the |. D. o.
Donnell ranch of 800 acres upon
which the bank held mortgage.
The Yellowstone county treasurer
refused to segregate the forty acre
tracts for the reason that the land
had all been sold to Yellowstone
county for taxes and the Farm Mort
gage corporation had thereafter paid
the taxes and taken an assignment
of the tax sale certificate.
The Farm Mortgage corporation
refused to surrender its tax certifi-
cate or to accept any monies upon
redemption unless the entire amount
was paid.
Upon the filing of the case the
Farm Mortgage corporation through
its attorneys, Wood & Cooke, con-
tested the case and Tansil & Smith
appeared as attorneys for the eoun-
ty treasurer The district Judge, R.
c. Stong, after the trial held that
.3he forty acre tracts could not be
segregated, and held that only two
divisions could be made, namely
all of one section, and the 16O acre
tract of smother section,
Attorney G. G. Rowan appealed
the case to the supreme court which
reversed the trial court Saturday,
and ordered the writ of mandamus
to issue as requested by the Federal
Land bank of Spokane.
Attorney Rowan this morning said
"This decision, in my opinion, will
do more to protect the farmers and
of lands in the Red
Lodgie-Rosebud irrigation district
than any decision yet rendered by
our courts. 1t means that where the
district has run the acreage of GER
tain forty-acre tracts up so high as
to make the taxes prohibitive, that
the owners or mortgages can allow
the District or the holders of the
bonds to take these particular forty
acre tracts and they may redeem the
other forties. | could not understand
how our court would refuse to issue
this writ as matter of public poll
cy in this state, and as matter of
protection to our owners and mort
gage, holders as clearly evidenced by
an act passed by our Legislature in
1928"

MEXICO CITY, April "A remark
able story of desert hardship and un-
usual fidelity to the orders of a superior
by a young Mexican aviator was told
here today in message to President
Portes Gil from Lieut.. Col. Roberto
Fierro, Mexico's premier aviator.
Fierro, with Lieut.. Vale, Sunday had
their plane shot down eight kilometers
west of Jimenez, where battle ragged
all day yesterday between federal and
rebel troops. He and Vale evaded
pursuers for a while, but finally, Fierro
says, he collapsed in the middle of the
desert for want of food and water.
Then, as he tainted away, he ordered
Vale to go save himself. Hours later
when the sun had gone down he awoke,
found Vale gone and made his way to
Escalon, where he sent message to
Gen. Gales and President Portes Gil
beseeching loan of an airplane to 60
find his friend Vale.
Planes Oil Tank Hit.
Fierro's story. as sent to the presi-
dent read as follows:
while flying over Jimenez my plane
was hit in the oil tank by a rebel
bullet and three minutes later its motor
stopped. was able to land eight kilo-
meters west of Jimenez. We were seen
by the enemy and some cavalry and
some in an automobile were sent to
pursue us.
"The mountains were at hand, how
ever, and after half hour chase we
reached them, and shook of our enemy
pursuerS. We followed the valley south
| of Villa Lopez and soon were seen by
