BURLINGTON OPPOSES
CARBON RAIL SPUR

Opposing an application of two
oil concerns for a spur track in
Carbon county, the Burlington rail
road Tuesday informed the Mon
tana Railroad Commission at Hell
ena that such construction was not
needed because rail facilities in
the area were ample. Kirk & Ar
not and the Frannie Oil Company
filed the application, asking that
the spur be constructed at point
approximately 1000 feet north OF
MISUNDERSTANDING state line and
extending southeasterly along the
main line of the road for dis
lance of 600 feet. The opposi-
ton further set forth in their an
sWer, "the applicants are engaged
IN the production of oil from wells
wholly within Wyoming and they
are applying for the purpose of
loading their oil produced in Wyo-
ming upon track located in Mon
tana for the purpose, if possible, of
securing the benefit of intra-state
freight rates upon such oil when
shipped to points in Montana.

DRILLING BEGINS
ON THIRD We'll IN
Dry CREEK FIELD

Dry Creek is putting on the ap-
pearance of an oil field in every
sense of the word. Considerable
building construction is in pro-
gress.
A new derrick is under erection
on the L. P. Chapman lease, an
other is on the Margaret Souders
lease. Drilling is in progress on
the Montana-Industrial No. | we'll.
For this drilling operation a boiler
house has been built. Six new
buildings have been constructed at
the camp, including bunk houses
and completely equipped black
smith shop.
The discovery well, N. P. No. 2,
is still shut in, not having been
opened for production since the
16-hour test made several weeks
ago. From the well, however, the
Gallatin Natural Gas company is
laying pipe line to the regulator
house to connect with the Billings
gas line from the field.

continental TO
DRILL STRUCTURE
near L0DGEGRASS

Resumption of drilling opera
tions of the we'll of the Embar
Drilling Company near Lodgegrass
by the Continental Oil Company. is
announced from Lodgegrass, ac-
cording to a current issue of the
Montana Oil Journal. The Lodge
grass structure is 80 miles east
of the Dry Creek field in Carbon
county, where the Ohio Oil COM
pany recently completed a high
gravity gusher, making 2,040 bar
rels. The well is located 3 miles
west of the town off Lodgegrass,
on the southern border of the Grow
Indian reservation in SW NWH
Sc, Section 81, Township 6 South,
Range 35 east, Carbon county.
The Continental will complete
the well for Fred Whiteside and
associates, who control the struc-
ture. The agreement was made in
exchange for acreage near the we'll,
which has been shut down for some
time at 3,056 feet. First possible
sand is the Dakota, ex-
pected at about $50 feet. Below
that, several other possible pay
horizons are expected before the
well has drilled the full 1000 feet.
A well drilled on this territory
about 4 years ago was abandoned
at 1,400 feet, above horizons in
which there was any chance to
find production. New leases were
obtained on the structure by White
side and Carl Eden and drilling
commenced in June 1928. Oper-
atlons have been carried on inter-
since that time. The
has been approved by
G. L. Lupton and other noted geol-
ogists. Mr.. Lupton is the geol-
ogist who located the Resolute Oil
company's wildcat well in Badger
Basin a few weeks ago. Acreage
on the Lodgegrass structure is
held by several major companies in
addition to Continental, including
Argo, Midwest, Texas. There has
been a sharp revival of interest in
all structures in this district since
The Ohio's strike in Dry Creek,

mile AND A HALF
OF PIPE NEEDED
FOR CASING WELL

Arrival of mile and hall
string of special heavy-duty pipe
at the Resolute Oil company's wild
cat In the Badger Basin field. &c
miles southwest of Red Lodge
allowed the commencement of cas-
ing work on the well last week
Casing will be run for the entire
depth of the we'll, $3.50 feet. A
factory representative from Pitts
burgh where the heavy-duty pipe
was purchased, is supervising the
job of stringing it. The hole is to be
cemented for a depth of 5000 feet.
The well has been spraying oil and
producing gas since it was brought
IN less than month ago. The
baller has brought up oil that OBJ
servers regard as of high test.
In the opinion of oil men who
nave been at the discovery we'll
indications still point to substan-
tial producer, although it was not
anticipated that the first Frontier
sands would yield a good flow.
History of oil drilling in Montana
has indicated that the first From
tier does not always produce, but
when it does it is invariably true
that the second Frontier sands turn
in strong production. In the Bad
ger Basin field the second Frontier
sands are estimated at between
100 and lao feet below the first.
The discovery well is unusual in
Rocky mountain oil exploration
work. 1t is the deepest we'll in
the Rocky mountain area and also
is out of the ordinary because of
the fact that an eight-inch hole
has been carried for the entire
depth.
Future operations of the COM
pany in this field will probably
be carried on with rotary equip
ment, due to the outstanding sue
cess of rotaries this year on struc-
lures south of Badger Basin, in
central Wyoming, where records
have been made in drilling forma-
lions similar to those in Badger
Basin.
Badger Basin has a closure of
approximately 800 feet, has noun
tain ranges on two sides and a
gathering area of approximately
100 miles to the south, giving it
all the earmarks of another Salt
Creek, in the opinion of operators
familiar with the district.
Great Falls men own a majority
of the stock of the Resolute Oil
Company. which drilled the we'll
and which controls the entire top
of the structure through owner
ship of more than $4,000 acres of
leases. |

game by points. The score end
ed, Joliet 27, Carbon %.
Joliet did practically no out
standing work in the first half.
The situation was reversed in the
last half, when Joliet played
smoothly and Carbon fumbled. Jol-
let used the same men through the
entire game, with Carbon trying
out a number of new recruits.
Marsyla Blascovic and Laati-
kainan, substitutes for Carbon,
started in the Carbon lineup. Mar
syla made one from beneath the
basket to open the quarter. Joliet
made free throw and Blascovic
tailed UP five points in hurry
and Marsyla followed with a good
free throw. The quarter ended 10
to 2 in favor Of the local squad.
Schwin replaced Puumula at
center position at the beginning of
the second quarter and Leides
went in for Blascovic. Joliet piled
up several points so Carbon called
time out. On the return to play
Joliet made good on a free throw
and continued to hold Carbon
scoreless. The half ended 13 to
8, in favor Of Carbon.
In the third stage of the game
Joliet tailed up ten points to two
for Carbon. Doran made goal
point. Joliet had piled up three
point lead, placing the score at IS

The last quarter proved to be
the most interesting of the four.
Doran made good on free throw
and Joliet countered by scoring
six. Carbon called time out at
this point. Pollock slammed in
long field goal and Joliet made an
other. Schwin, called out on per-
sonals, was replaced by Laatikai-
nan and Leides put in one for the

High School beat back strong,
flashy Edgar quintet to the tune
of 1929 Friday. The gym was
crowded to capacity by interested
spectators. Winning this game
from a strong opponent places the
local team high in the opinion Of
basketball observers. Both Belfry
and Bearcreek had beaten Edgar
by small margins.
The Edgar defense was strong
and Carbon found it difficult to
combat until the last quarter, in
which the Carbon tossers made IL
points to Edgar's 8. A snappy
battle was put up by the local high
school team, both Leides and Pol
lock making over 10 points apiece.
Laatikainen played left guard pos

1881 OIL OUTLOOK
IN RED LODGE TER
RITORY PROMISING

| Spurred into belated action by
recent sensational compilations OF
sharp-dip structures adjacent t.
the Rockies, major oil companies
are leading in a desperate scramble
for control of the situation.
Eight miles from Red Lodge
| adjoining the Dry Creek field or
the north, Texas Production Com.
pany has thrown a crew which is
leasing up the Elbow Creek struc.
ture IN Carbon county, according tc
the Montana Oil Journal.
The Continental Oil Company
which has taken over completion
of the Embar Drilling Company s
wildcat at Lodgegrass, is leasing
up the Sand Creek structure, near
Dry Creek, and is also leasing up
what is known as the Dry Volney
Greek structure about Is miles
northwest of Red Lodge.
The Ohio has about completed
leasing up the Red Lodge Creek
structure, about eight miles north
west of Red Lodge and also ada
cent to the mountains.
Some Is miles due west of Red
Lodge, a Spokane group has taken
large block of leases at the scene
of Montana's earliest drilling ac-
tivity, high up in the mountains, at
an elevation of 5000 feet, among
the tall pine trees.
1t was on this block of leases
that Tommy Cruise, millionaire
Helena gold miner, started some
wells back in 1898. One we'll,
drilled adjacent to mountain oil
seeps, was reported to have struck
flow Of crude at very shallow
depth. Pioneer drilling equipment
proved incapable of coping with
crooked hole trouble in the sharply
dipping formation and the we'll was
subsequently abandoned, after
plugging with a 16-foot cottonwood
plug.
1t is reported that oil is still
seeping out around the cottonwood
plug.
With these developmnts in the
Red Lodge territory, the greatest
validating campaign in Montana's
history seems assured for 1881, |
with hundreds of structures due for
testing along the face Of the Rock
les across the entire state.
