Frontier formation there is 4SO
feet of sands producing II million
cubic feet of gas at 1920 feet
in the Thermopolis formation there
is about $50 feet of sands produc-
ing million cubic feet of gas, by
adding the number, of feet of pro-
ducing sands in these wells, the t
of the formula may be- determined,
which is a total of 1905 feet of
producing sands. The sporosity of
the sand was set by Mr.. Mcdonald,
Northern Pacific geologist at Is
per cent the Pl or rock pressure
will average about 1000 pounds per
square inch as it has been found
that throughout the field it runs
from 600 to 100 pounds per square
inch. The Pc, according to Mr..
Mcdonald at the Dry Greek field is
1212 pounds per square inch. From
the above figures it is possible to
determine the approximate value
of natural gas in any producing
field through this area and at the
Baker field in eastern Montana,
the price paid for gas in the ground
was four cents per cubic foot, and
that was dry gas. while the gas
in the Dry Greek field has good
percentage of natural gasoline in
it.
It has been found through the
charcoal test and BY actual recov-
cry tests that the gas in the Dry
Greek field contains from Ia pints
to gallons of natural gasoline in
every 1000 cubic feet of gas.
The value of this natural gaso-
line can be determined from the
following article which recently
appeared in two metropolitan pap
ers of this state:

The mixture restores what the
likes to call "the old fa-
skioned goodness" to gasoline, by
which he means quick easy start

ed also as adding power which the
"old time" gas never had, and as
increasing the available gasoline
supply.
