sThe writer With several others
recently visited a spring in the
Turtle mountains. abOat four
miles west Of Dunseith.
upon arrival there we found
a large circular cone about 40
feet high and slipping to the base
about 100 feet away. entirely
built up OF what looked very
much ike cinders.
on Cinder Como
I'VE took samples Of this and
sent It 70 the analyst Of the

uounced It to be volcanic oil
cinders, strongly impregnated
with manganese which had filter
ed out from the water that began
to flow after the oil was ex-
hausted, and still flows at the
rate Of about a barrel a minute.
Many Millions Of barrels Of
petroleum must have been forced
up and burned to build up the
thousands OF tons Of cinders

This find proves beyond any
guess that the Turtle mountain
district has untold wealth II

oes, similar to those found in the
wyoming fields. have been found
in this district.
"A majority Of the wells that
are 10 feet or more deep TO the

tains have more or less gas and
dozens of farmers are heating
and lighting their homes from

kings sent for young Yount. per-
haps. Just as the Pharaoh in
Egypt had sent for young Joseph,
thousands Of years ago. and asked
him what they should do about Il.
Drill more water wells, he told
them. or words to the effect.
SO they employed Yount to do the
drilling.
Now one Of the enliyening fea-
lures Of this occupation Of drill
ing water wells is to watch for
oil indications. And Il was Just
there that Frank Younrs curiosity
about oil production probably had
its inception.
However, for some unexplained
reason he did not immediately
take up oil drilling. for Il was 81
this time that he opened one
man garage in Beaumont. This
was in 1914. But even while he
mended such cars rs came his way
he was thinking. dreaming about
oil. He wanted TO organize an
oil company and start drilling.
Started with $4,000
A thousand or two dollars dn-
vested then would hare meant
millions now. However, there
we're two who listened attentively
to his story. And with less than
$4,000 capital they got the
Yount-Iee Co. under way.
Yount started the little COM
pany off with ten-strikein the
Sour Lake oil field. He followed
this with additional drilling ac-
tsvities. not only at Sour Lake.
bht In the adjoining Fields Of
Boston. Saratoga. Hall and Jsnn-
ings, La. All these projects he
had under way when he came TO
spindlstop a few years ago. and
their combined yield. while not
startling. was sufficient to get
the company well on its feet and
prepare It for the remarkable
expansion to follow.
spindIetop was as distressing
IA place as one might imagine.
FOR several years Frank Yount
had been cycling Spindle up with
good deal Of interest The
companies holding the off-dome
leases had permitted them to ex-
pire. and here was an opportunity
10 make a fancy strikeor a
nBdiculous failure. Yount thought
only OF the strike. concurrently
he had developed ideas Of his
own. and among them Was one
that oil sands could Just as easily

Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September al Violent
breaks In grain prices resulted today
from Englsnd's financial crisis, but en-
larged wheat buying ascribed in part
to mills and exporters acted later as
almost complete Offset. Apparently
all offerings of North American wheat
to Great Britain overnight were
promptly accepted. Late upturns in
grains were facilitated by action of
securities, wheat traders especially
keeping a sharp eye on stocks. Nota-
bic relative strength shown by the
Winnipeg wheat market was also a
steadying factor. although the course
OF Canadian quotations was avowedly
based on assumed likelihood that Brit
ish Empire preference for Canadian
wheat hereafter was now practically
assured
Wheat closed nervous, %-K cent
down; corn, SILK of; oats, un-
changed to % higher, and provisions
varying from ascent setback to q rise
of cents.
