GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
RECOMMENDS TESTS
OF OIL STRUCTURES

Several locations for drilling
test wells for oil are recommended
in recent report of the United
States Geological Survey, Geology
and Mineral Resources of Parts
Carbon, Big Horn, Yellowstone,
and Saltwater Counties, Montana. !"
The report is by R. S. Knappen
and G. F. Moulton, and covers an
area of about 1850 square miles
that embraces parts of the coun-
ties named. The western boundry
is slightly west of Columbus and
extends east of Billings. Consider
able of southern Lake Basin is COW
cred and the maps and examina-
tions deal with roughly wedge
shaped area that has it's southern
tip south of Bridger and Bowler
The Dry Creek field is not includ-
ed.
Some off the recommendations
are for locations in the Lake Basir
country, and others are in the Pry
or mountain and southern terri
tory.
A beautifully drawn and shaded
map in colors shows the character
of surface deposits and exposures

Field work of the author occu-
pied the second half of June, all
of July and August, and the first
half of September, 1922, and Moul-
ton the junior author, remained in
the field until Oct. 1. The report
designated as Bulletin SPA, was
published this fall
The work was undertaken pri-
marty to procure data for CLASH

of part of the area and also the
possibilities of obtaining oil and
gas were studied. The report con-

BADGER BASIN CASING
SET IN RECORD Time
OF FORTY HOURS

Using only the regular crew,
supplemented by ranchers from the
district around the well, Resolute
Oil Company established a record
in it's Badger Basin discovery well
by running in the 5 3I8-inch string
of casing and cementing it on the
bottom in 40 hours.
While the casing was being run
the well headed up and flowed
bigh-gravity oil over the top Of
the derrick.
There is reported to be 5000
feet of oil in the hole.
AS soon as the cement has set
it will be drilled out and an effort
made to sidetrack the lost bit, SC
that the we'll can be drilled deeper
into the first Frontier sand.
With the bit out of the way
the well may be carried to the Sec
ond Frontier, mapped as being $50
feet below the first Frontier.
It is also possible that the well
will be drilled to the Dakota series,
which should be reached at around
5000 feet.
1t is in the Dakota series
that the Ohio Oil Company in the
nearby Dry Creek field opened a
2,000-b barrel flow of high-gravity
oil.
Because of the location off Bad
ger Basin, between mountain ran
ges, and the further fact that the
field has 9,000-foot closure, belief
that this will be one Of the major
oil fields Of America continues to
grow in the minds of Montana OPP
orators who are conversant with
the facts.-Montana Oil Journal.

LOCAL SQUAD; is THIRD WIN;
JOLIET HOLDS DECISION

Carbon County High School
chalked up victory over Bear
creek basketeers Friday, her five
trimming the boys from over the
hill on the local court % to II.
The game was either teams thro-
ughout. Bearcreek's lineup was
relatively strong, else the score
against them would have mounted
much higher. The game was fourth
of the season for Carbon and had
it not been for long range bar
rage during the last quarter by
Carbon's guards the result of the
game might have been different
Carbon has lost one game, Joliet
holding the decision.
While Carbon held very small
edge during most of the game,
Bearcreek more than once tied the
score and threatened to outplay
the local team. Leides, Carbon for
ward; Laukaitis, Bearcreek for
ward and Savich, Bearcreek guard,
were outstanding players.
A great deal of fouling figured
in the clash, called on both sides
by Referee Johnson of Joliet. This
slowed down the tempo of the game
considerably in the first session.
Carbon led 7 to 2 at the first
quarter. Gift losses figured prom
inently in the second quarter for
the local squad. AS many person.
ais were called on the home team
but the Bearcreek players did not
make good on several free throw
attempts. Forney replaced team
mate for guard position toward the
close of the half.
| Bearcreek rallied during the sec
ond stanza to almost even up the
score. The Bearcats sent three
| field goals and two free losses
through the hoop, holding Carbon
to one goal and three CONVEX
sion. Leides made the only
field goal for the Carbon aggre-
cation during the first half of the
game, which ended with Carbon
leading by one point, II to 10.
In the third quarter the local
boys We're unable to work up a
safe margin over their opponents,
which ended Is to IL. Blascovic
replaced Pollock at forward pos
ition.
Returning to the court for the
last period of play Bearcreek made
a great effort to renew the former
attack on Carbon's defense. Fouls
were called on both teams and Pu-
| umala, local center, went out on
personal fouls. Schwin was trans
ferred from guard to center and
Laatikainen went in to fill guard
position. Leides Gagged his last
field goal just before he fouled
a Bearcat. Doran, Blascovic and
Laatikainen made their last min
ute long distance attack. Bear
creek was held to five points, with
the score ending, Carbon %, Bear
creek II.
In preliminary game the Roos-
evelt Junior High school team de
feated a Bearcreek junior high
team with little difficulty.

HIGH SCHOOL QUINT WILL MEET
ATHLETIC GROUP HERE SAT-
URDAY NIGHT

Establishing a lead early in the
game the Finnish-American Ath-
letic Club added another triumph
to their list of season basketball
conquests. They swept 44-2l
decision over the Fromberg Bull
dogs. an independent team, Tues
day night at Workers all. The
game ranked as one of the best
contests the Club has played dur
ing the season although the final
uneven score does not reveal it.
Hannula, Athletic Club center,
tailed Is points, made with Z
field goals and one Conversion. He
was closely followed by Murdo,
athletic forward, with 6 field goals,
making IL points.
Lowe, left forward of the Bull
dog Five, made 6 points and the
guards, Fahrenbruch and Shaw,
each Gagged two field goals. Wag-
ner of Fromberg and Toffer of the
Club team used their teamwork to
great advantage but did not figure
outstandingly in the scoring.
Fromberg's stiff defense was ap
parent from the first. Tuuri and
Mattila, local guards, scored soon
after the opening of the tussle and
a lanky Fromberg center counter
ed. Although the Bulldogs did not
score during the remainder of the
quarter their defense was so clev-
er that the Red Lodge boys were
forced to shoot from center court.
The second quarter belonged to the
Athletic Club. Nearly all the Red
lodge players contributed to the
twelve points credited to the per-
! iod. Hannula, swift Red Lodge
forward, accounted for eight poi
hts. Shaw, Fromberg left guard,
guided their defense. The half
ended with the Athletic Club at
the best end of the one-sided 24-4
score.
| Fromberg got off into a good
start in the third quarter, scoring
III points to the 8 for the local
team. Fromberg counted on a
field goal and free toss and then
proceeded to hold the local boys
pointless for several minutes. Wag-
ner, Bulldog forward, did some fast
passing. The quarter ended with
Fromberg trailing by II points
In the last stanza Mattila, Muir
do and Hannula counted up five
goats with ease. A center of the
visiting squad made the only points
tailed by Fromberg in the last
quarter but as the game neared
the close Fromberg again attacked
with strength but their efforts
were futile at the eleventh hour.
The final score ended, Athletic
Club, al; Fromberg, 81.
