BEARCREEK FOSSIL rs
RECORDED BY SCIENTIST

DR.. William K. Gregory, professor
OF vertebrate paleontology of Colum-
bia university, New York, in his new
book on the evolution of man. titled
Our Face from Fish to Man has
used one of the new Bearcreek speci-
mems to show the connecting link be-
tween the primitive prinate and the
Iprimate, The particular specimen
used is the same which was described
year ago by Dr. George C. Simpson,
vertebrate paleontologist of the Am
eriean museum at New York City.
DR.. Simpson named this specimen
Leipsanolestes Siegfriedt and classed
1t as primitive primate, or tree shrew.
"These small animals from the
basal eocense of Montana in MANY
ways approach the lowest of the pri-
mates, especially in the construction
OF the skull and teeth he writes.
The fossils are exceedingly rare.
Nevertheless they are of high value
when studied together with the mani
fold families, genera and species of
primates still living.n
DR.. Roy Chapman Andrews, during
his recent visit in Billings, also com
mented upon the scientific Importance
of the Bearcreeek fossil discoveries.
Dr. siegfriedt announced the dis
,oyery of mammal fossils in the
Eagle coal mine at Bearcreek two
years ago. He is still continuing the
search and has to his credit the find
ng of a new mammal fauna in the
'asal eocene layers. Scientists from
several if the eastern universities in
end visiting the fossil bed at Bear
reek this summer.

THE BEAN SITUATION
TN MONTANA FOR 1929 80

An increase of Great Northern bean
acreage in Montana appears to be
justified for 1929. 1t is probable that
prices for the 1929-30 marketing,
season will not reach the peak Of the
1928-29 season.
Critical year: 1929 promises to be
a critical year for Montana bean
growers. To considerable extent
white beans (') compete for land with
sugar beets and potatoes. Beet con-
tracts have not been attractive les
peclally outside of Montana; the re-
turns from the 1923 potato crop were
exceedingly low Further, with the
present low price of wheat, operators
LOT irrigated lands are looking for d
crop of higher return. Beans appeal
to many as that crop The net result
OF these conditions is an inevitable
increase of national white bean acre
age for 1929 over 1928. Growers re-
ports as of March 1st to the u. S.
Department Of Agriculture show the
following sharp increases of acreage
that growers at that date intended to
plant in 1929 over their paintings of
1928: New York, 40 per cent; Idaho
50 per cent; Michigan, rs per cent;
Wyoming, 40 per cent; Montana. 25
per cent.
However, since these grower re-
ports were filed sugar interests ap-
parently have made some gains in
beet acreage contracts in the princi-
pal bean producing states, and as the
outlook for medium early and late
potatoes is SO much better than in
1928, it is probable that part of the
land intended for beans finally will
De planted to these other crops.
There is world shortage of dry
edible beans. Even with the in
paintings there appears to be
title danger Of a 1929 crop of white
'eans exceeding the needs of the
United States plus normal carry
,ver.
Il
The rapid development of the bean
Industry in Montana and the relation
0 the output of older producing states
hows great gains. Michigan and
Jew York have been Important pro-
ucers since the Civil war. They with
daho produced over half the total
rop Of dry beans in 1928 and the
rop Of these three states was about
quail to the 1928 United States output
white beans except Limas.
, Michigan beans Michigan pea
cans, Great Northerns and similar
1pes; Limas not included.

The Frannie structure, situated il
northeastern Park county, Wyoming
came TO the notice of oil operators b!
the bringing in of an oil we'll on thi.
structure in August, 1928, drilled by
E, H. Rosenburg and associates on
location made by the writer. The vel
flowed about 100 barrels daily unit
1t was placed on the pump since
which time, until shut in, it has beer
producing approximately 5000 barrels
daily.
The oil has an asphalt base, a gray
ity of % plus degrees, Baume, and a
gasoline content of nearly 2395 with
out cracking. In other words, it is
the best oil of asphalt base yet found
In the Pennsylvania beds in the
Rocky Mountain region, in CONNER
cial quantities.
The lowest bed exposed on the
Frannie structure is the shale occur
ring just below the first Wall Creek
sand about 100 feet below the top of
the Frontier formation. The bed car
rying the oil was encountered in the
Rosenburg well at 2,585 feet and con-
sists of sandy lime followed by few
feet of sandstone fully saturated with
oil. The top of the oil saturated hor-
izon occurs 60 feet below the base of
the "Red Beds" or Chugwater forma-
tion of Triassic age, and is believed
to be part of the Embar formation of
Pennsylvania age.
The Frannie structure trends north
west and southeast. 1t is broken near
the middle by two nearly parallel
normal dip faults trending northeast
and southwest which have permitted
the block between them to drop 100 |
to 200 feet. The minimum closure
of the structure is approximately
1000 feet.
Judging from the log of deep well

the south and exposures on Pryor
mountain to the northeast, there is
believed to be more than 100 feet of

ervoir for oil in the underlying Ten
sleep and Amsden formations. Con-
sidering the fact that the Tensleep ;
is productive of oil in com s
nerclal amounts in the Oregon Basin
ield some SO miles to the southwest, t
t is reasonable to expect that it will i
,ield some oil on the Frannie struc- !
ure when that sand is penetrated by e

CITIZENS WANT ROAD
INTO DRY CREEK FIELD

A citizens committee, headed b,
Attorney John G.. Skinner, waited OF
the county commissioners yesterday
forenoon in an endeavor to interest
the commissioners in the building oil
a road leading to the Dry Creek oil
field.
In view of the fact that this field
now is proven oil and gas field, it
IS felt that better road should be
built in order that the workers en-
ployed in the field can better reach
trading center than at present. The
present road is passabe in good
weather, but in order to provide an
easy grade and passable road it is
felt that an entire new route should
be laid out.
The distance to the field from Red
Lodge should not exceed ten miles it
rs felt and two practical routes are
available, one going over the hills as
at present and the other climbing the
bench at the two-mile bridge north
of town. Either route will provide a
road that will benefit the rancbers
living east of town and will also
shorten the distance to shopping
center by half for those working in
the field.
The commissioners act as. though
they were favorable to the PROPOSE
ton as outlined them and instructed
the county surveyor to run prelimi-
nary surveys at the earliest moment. |
The citizens committee promised CO.
operation in the survey and will pro-
vide help in making it. AS soon as

Much controversy in regard to the
Dry Creek field is apparent and it is +

is planning upon doing. Ap-
'arently they do not want to call it

us articles printed in which they
