ing mills at Pittsburgh. Oil men,
less 65s casing arrives from roll
familiar with the structure, declare
that the field is a probable rival
of Salt Creek, which thus far has
produced more than $300,000,000
in oil. The Resolute wildcat was
drilled with cable tools.
The field is approximately 20
miles east of the rugged mountains
of Yellowstone National Park and
is of the same sharp-dip variety
as other fields now engaging the
attention of operators along the
east face of the Rockies through
out Montana.
Production is coming from sand
at the base of the Colorado shaie,
apparently the same as that from
which production is now coming
in Dry Greek and Cat Creek.
Local permit and royalty hold
ers are greatly interested in the
new producing field. Resolute Oil
Company is headed by Julius
Peters of Great Falls, prominent
Montana independent.
Success Of the venture brings
to an end a struggle of more than
three years duration.
When the well started, produc-
tion was expected at about $500
feet. Drilling revealed that the

Colorado shales had thickened ab-
normally.
Undaunted, Peters prevailed up
on his associates to continue.
When operations were resumed this
spring, the hole was down a little
more than 5000 feet.
Casing was set at about $500
feet to stop the cave and from
that depth to completion the well
has been drilled with an open hole.
The depth, $3.50 feet, is the
greatest at which any strictly wild
cat well has ever found production.
Wells in the Big Lake field in
Texas and in the Long Beach
field in California are producing

5000, feet but these are wells that
