WHAT MONTANA'S OIL
HAS DONE FOR STATE

w h n sporting event first
brought to general attention the fact
that Montana produced oil, 5 distinct
fields already had been developed and
the money that staged the now his
toric Dempsey-Gibbons heavyweight
battle at Shelby in 1923 came from
the newest of these areas, Kevin-Sun-
burst, near the Canadian border.
Oil was then being produced in the
Elk Basin field in Carbon county, the
Devils Basin field in Musselshell. the
Soap Greek dome in Big Horn coun-
ty and Cat Creek, the first field with
extensive commercial possibilities,
was at the peak of production. There
have since been developed three other
production areas; Lake Basin in Still
water county, Pondera in Pondera
and Teton, and Annatyne, also in
Pondera and Teton.
Cat Greek field, just east of the
states geographical center, in Fer
gus and Petroleum counties, came
into being with the Franz Charles No.
|, Feb. 10, 1920, with flush produc-
ton of 1000 barrels. Development
followed rapidly. The oil is particu-
larly desirable to refiners because of
its gasoline content, despite the fact
it is lacking in the lighter elements
and of no great value for lubricants.
Bids have been called by the govern
ment for the sale of Cat Creek roy
atty oil.
An analysis of Cat Greek crude,
furnished by one Of the Montana re
fneries, shows benzine, 581a per cent,
kerosene, % per cent, heavy oils, II
per cent, and loss Y per cent. 1t is
a combination base. Gasoline pro-
duced from this oil requires the adj
mixture of 712 to 20 per cent of cas-
ing head gasoline to bring it up to
specifications, which under the law
is 116-437, fahrenheit.
SO alluring seemed the possibili-
ties of this field that in 1928 new
county was rrnated, it's borders en-
circling the fc,l, H. CO n seat Win
nett, terminu5 C Tie pipe line from
the field, and it's name Petroleum.
In that year, TIE field reached the
peak of its production.
Production in 1921 was 1,350,52S
barrels, an amount which increased
with new development, to 2,0S0,826
barrels in 1923 and gradually dimin-
ished until last years total was 775,-
500 barrels. In the 7-year period it
produced 9,295,161 barrels, with a
value of $15,902,822.
Practically all Of the present pro-
duction is from government land. The
producing wells are within small
area and some distance to the north
west Of the discovery well. While
the production has diminished, there
has been little decrease in the number
of active wells.
The all-time production Of all Mon
tana fields at the end of 1927 total
ed 20,537,315 barrels valued at $780,
369,347. The contribution of the sew
eral fields to the total is: Kevin-Sun-
burst, 10,852,215 bbls.; Lake Basin,
29,2O1 bbls.; Elk Basin (1916-1921)
205,45 bbls.; Soap Creek (1921-1923)
1884 bbls.; Devils Basin (1921-
1929 5,268 bbls., and Cat Creek, g.
375, 161 bbls. Production Of Pondera
and Bannatyne fields, each less than
year old, is not yet available.

College for FireInen
Proposed by Watson

Anxious to supplant the training
now given firemen at the fire de-
partment drill tower, Fire Chief
George s. Watson has suggested
that firemen's college be estab-
lished here.
Courses in first aid, fire preyen'
ton, and principles Of fire fighting
with special classes for the engineers
in charge Of pumping machines and
for drivers of fire apparatus, could
be given at the college Watson said.
Watson advanced the suggestion
after assigning Is men to the Red
Cross School for week Of intensive
training in first aid work. These
men win be held in reserve to fill
any vacancies which may occur in
the personnel Of the two fire depart.
ment rescue squads.
There are no facilities available
for the proposed firemen's college
now. Watson said.
