WILDCAT WELL IN
BADGER BASIN TO
MAKE TEST SOON
WELL LOCATED ON HUGE BLOCK
OF 22,ooo ACRES. BOUNDED
ON NORTH BY DRY CREEK
FIELD OF CARBON
COUNTY
OFFICIALS POINT OUT THAT
FIELD CONDITIONS IDEAL
FOR USE OF ROTARY
EQUIPMENT

Sands of the Resolute Oil COM
pany's wildcat well, located just
south of Carbon county, Montana,
and lying in Park County Wyom-
ing, will be tested as soon as
string of special 23-pound upset
seamless 5 3l16 inch casing arrives
from rolling mills at Pittsburgh.
The well blew into production two
weeks ago. Tools were blown up
in the hole by heavy flow of wet
gas, when the bit hit the top of the
Frontier sand. According to Jul
Jus Peters of Great Falls, presi-
dent of the Resolute Oil company,
the crew reports that the hole is
free from caving.
The wildcat had drilled into wet
gas flow in the Frontier sand at
$3.50 feet, the greatest depth at
which any wildcat well has ever
found production. The we'll is To-
Gated ON block of approximately
$4,000 acres, about half and half
Northern Pacific railway land and
U. S. permits. The hole is cased
with 81 inch pipe to 4,O44 feet.
From this depth to within 100 feet
off the top of the sand it is cased
all the way.
These factors will render it
comparatively simple matter TO
drill the we'll deeper into the sand
after the casing string has been
run, in the opinion of company of
ficials. These revealed for the
first time last week that this well
had drilled through saturated
130-foot oil sand, at from 1929 to
1864 feet. This sand has been
cased off and will probably be tap
ped by future wells. The oil from
this sand was high-gravity, para
fin base, with no sulphur con-
tent.
According to the Montana Oil
Journal horizon from this produc-
ton is now coming from the top
of the first Frontier sand, esti-
mated to be from rs to 100 feet
thick in this district. The bit had
just touched the top of this sand
when the we'll blew in.
There are several probable pro-
ducing horizons below this sand
which can be reached by modern
methods.
The second Frontier lies about
$50 feet below the first Frontier.
From the second Frontier to the
Muddy sand, there is about an in
terval Of about 800 feet. Below the
Muddy, if hole can be feasibly
made to that depth, lie the Dakota,
Lakota, Sundance, Embar, Ten
sleep and Amsden. Officials Of
the company are of the opinion
that most or all of these horizons
are within reach of the drill, point
ing out that conditions in this

CARBON HOOPSTERS
DEFEAT RAPELJE IN
OPENING GAME SAT.
HOLD VISITORS SCORLESS IN 1ST
QUARTER, FINAL FIGURES 26-1O
RAPELJE'S FIRST GAME
IN RED LODGE
MARSYLA AND LEIDES, NEW MEN,
PERFORM OUTSTANDING WORK
FOR CARBON TEAM

Carbon county high schools bas-
ketball team opened its campaign
on the home floor Saturday night
with Rapelje, who made their first
appearance in Red Lodge local
high school history. The season
opened with a slow, ragged game
that ended in favor of the Red
Lodge aggregation 26-10. While
Red Lodge townspeople and Carbon
High students were joyful over the
result, the playing of Coach Hart
wigs boys was not up to the STAN
dard set last year by a plucky,
flashy team.
Pollock, Red Lodge forward, OPP
ened the contest with free throw
and Marsyla, right forward, fol-
lowed with two field goals, the
first of several that he made dur
ing the game. Pollock closed in
with one right under the basket,
to close the first quarter. Carbon
led TO.
Liedes was sent in to replace
Pollock at the beginning of the
second. Neither team displayed
any spectacular work during the
second quarter. Rapelie, however,
scored two field goals and kept
Carbon scorless and succeeded in
crawling up within striking dis
lance. Toward the close of the
period Carbon called time out and
Zupan was sent in to the pivot
position, replacing Puumala, vet
eran player.
Whether a gentle lecture or a
brief rest had anything to do with
it or not, both teams emerged at
the beginning of the second half,
looking more scrappy. Liedes
sunk in two field goals in quick
succession and Marsyla followed
with two-point from near the free
throw line. The quarter ended
with Carbon leading, 1874.
Rapelje passed quickly and
smoothly back and forth for sever
al minutes at the beginning of the
last quarter. Their manuvers fin
ally netted them four points. Dor
an, Carbon regular, playing right
guard, made good on free throw
and Marsyla sunk three for Car
bon to bring the scores to 2O-8.
Coach Hartwig sent in Dimich for
Doran, Blascovic for Marsyla and
Zupan for Puumala near the close
of the game. A few points We're
made on both sides and Blascovic
put one in from near the foul line
just as the final bell sounded.
Eli Tuuri refereed the game.

Russia's government may fail and

think themselves superior, includ-
