Slams forests that flash like ad-
vertising signs are described by DR..
Hugh M. Smith, former chief of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries,
who has just returned to the United
States after 10 years as biological
adviser to the Siamese government.
On his long exploring trips up the
Siamese rivers he frequently encoun-
tered this strange phenomenon, which
he describes as the strangest in all
his experiences. In the dense dark
ness of tropical night single tree,
or even a whole avenue Of trees a
quarter Of mile long. would become
luminous and flash of and on two or
three times second.
The phenomenon is due, DR.. Smith
said, to the synchronous flashing OF
fireflies. On every leaf of such tree
will be found one of these insects
Hundreds of thousands Of them flash
simultaneously. The mass effect is
like heat lightning.
DR.. Smith relates come remarkable
authentic incidents Of Slams strange
walking fishes" One case in par
ticular which came under his per-
sonal observation was that of a fish
taken out Of a garden pool which the
owner wished to clean. The fish was
placed in pail of water and given
to- native servant to deposit in
another pool about a quarter of q
mile away. The fish got out Of the
pail and in half hour walked
about 400 yards back to his home
pool. This apparently demonstrated,
says DR.. Smith, not only the crea-
lures known ability to make progress
on dry land, but also sense of direc-
ton and homing instinct.
In parts of Siam during the dry
season, says DR.. Smith, men 60 fish,
ing with spades in the desert and
it is a profitable occupation. The
desert" has been covered with water
or transversed by small streams a
few months earlier. With the coming
of the drought the fishes have bur-
rowed deeper and deeper into the
mud, which has become baked above
them There they remain, like hiber-
mating animals, for the rains to
come again. They are seemingly in
q state of suspended animation.
The fishermen simply spade up the
baked clay in layers and send these
to market. Sometimes the fishes will
burrow to a depth Of more than q
meter.
There Is at least one family Of
fishes in Siam, DR.. Smith reports, that
will drown" If kept too long under
water. Their gills are small, so that
they cannot get enough oxygen under
the surface and must come up every
now and then for air.
Among the more fantastic specimens
Of Siamese zoology he Is exhibiting
to his Washington friends is cent?
pede nearly . foot long which lives
under brush piles and has piercing
fangs and poison glands.

The supporters of the Patman
"greenback" soldiers bonus bill in the
Senate continue to back and fill. One
minute they are ready to let the bill
60 to the President for his veto. The
next day they relent and prefer to
hold 1t before the Senate. Well, as
long as 1t stays where it is the bill
certainly will not become law, the
bonus will not be paid and the green
backs will not be printed by the Gov
eminent. The word is that Senator
Thomas Of Oklahoma, leader of the
Patman bill forces in the Senate, will
withdraw his motion to reconsider the
votes by which the bill was passed
and amended tomorrow"
The only hope of the Patmanites to
pass the bill over the Presidents veto
Is to persuade some Of the Senator'S
who voted or were paired against the
original passage Of the bill to vote to
override or to absent themselves. On
just what ground Senator who op-
posed the original passage Of the
Patman bill could justify the over
riding Of a presidential veto Of the
bill, outside Of cheap politics, 1t is
difficult to understand. It has been
suggested that the administration
might even stoop to easing up on the
Senators SO that they may vote to
override or stay away when the vote
Is taken. Vice President Gamers
name has been used in connection
with this scheme, but the Vice Presi-
dent has declined to affirm or deny
or to say anything about the matter.
II any of the Senators who voted
against the Patman bill on its passage
are found supporting the bill, either
by their vote or by their absence after
it has been vetoed, they will be "on
the spot" In view of all these rumors-
and the administration will be on the
spot along with them. The idea that
the President could not hold In line

bill In. the first instance would Be

We might have bought some Yunck
royalty cheaply, also, and many others,
had any of us been willing to risk
our money in the face of that Cobb
failure.
At the same time, if we could have
read a crystal ball and forseen what
the result of drilling would be on the
locations we now know as Numbers
/, 2 and 3, also the Yunck and State
wells, we could have made q fortune
by buying royalties which others
would have believed disproven We
would have been willing to wait, even
though development were delayed
There are a dozen wells in the field
which present the same situation. We
are not altering the situation by point
ing out these facts. The owner Of
royalty around dry hole viii invar-
iably HEDGE through fear that the
area is disproven, even in the face Of
a sand as good as that at the Walber-
ger No. A.
The royalty investor who can under
stand this situation can capitalize it
in many places in Cut Bank field.
The real money in royalties is made
in buying AHEAD OF THE DRILL.
With intelligent information the roy
atty investor can move out ahead of
the drill in Cut Bank field with no
great hazard A hundred and fifty
wells give q pretty good picture Of
the early Cretaceous seacoast over an
area of 80 miles. The sand may vary
as to porosity, giving large wells in
porous spots an small wells in
cemented spots and even dry. holes
in islands Of porosity, but where
the sand is present, production may
be expected at a ratio Of nine to one.

A. B. Cobb is the operator who
opened up the sensational north pool
it was NORTH at that time, although
it is near the center of the field
today-by drilling bis famous Walber-
ger No / It was a good AVERAGE
well
We were delighted when Cobb
started his well because we had pre-
viously purchased some royalty on
the Seeba farm, adjoining. We were
nervous about the Seeba We
thought it too far north and too far
east. We hoped that at best the west
end of it would be oil land and the
east end gas land. So when Cobb's
first well was drilling, on a location
at the extreme northeast corner Of the
Seeba farm, we were on the anxious
seat. The Cobb well came in, a
good producer. 1t was Immediately
offset south, west and southwest, the
last being on the Seeba farm. All
these wells were good average pro-
ducers. Montana Power Gas company
continued the development of the
Seeba farm and as q result our royalty
on the Seeba is paying considerably
more than ONE HUNDRED PER
CENT PER ANNUM on our invest
ment.
Cobb continued the development Of
the Walberger lease. He had good
average well on his No. g., His No.
was perhaps the best well IN the
Cut Bank field. Completed on August
Is, 1884, it started off flowing at the
rate of 500 barrels per day. It has
continued to flow since that time.
II has flowed longer than any other
well in the field, so far as we know.
It was making around las barrels
per day, still flowing, when we last
enquired. At any rate, the Walberger
lease is still making in excess of 200
barrels per day, and this No. 8 has
"hopped up" royalty prices SO that
it is useless to try to buy royalties
in that district for any reasonable
prices.
Then the mdch-discussed Castle
State wen was drilled, offsetting
Cobb's east line. The Castle well
made so barrels initial A south off
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1935-02-23

set drilled by Montana Headlight had
an initial of around 40 barrels. Cobb
drilled his offset in the southeast
corner of his lease and completed a
dry hole. 1t had some oil and is
perhaps a small commercial well but
to all intents and purposes it is
dry hole.
On either side are wells making 140
barrels per day OF more, yet he has
a or 5-barrel well That is the
hazard of the oil industry in ANY
field. However, it goes to show just
one convincing thing that should be
of value to the royalty investor as
well as to the operator;
WHERE THE SAND rs PRESENT,
A DRY HOLE is OF NO SIGNIFI-
CANOE
Had there been no sand, it might
mark the edge Of the ancient sea-
coast on which the Cut Bank sand
was laid down. But Cobb had the
normal sand as did his neighbors east
and southeast.
This points out an interesting
thought:
SURPRISING THAT COBB HAD
DRILLED his NO. / WE'LL WHERE
HIS NO. WE'LL rs LOCATED.
The offsets east and southeast would
not have been drilled. His Nos. 1928
would perhaps not have been drilled
for a long time at any rate. We
would have been the more convinced
that we had lost our investment in the
Seeba, for the simple reason that
FEAR is THE DOMINANT HUMAN
ELEMENT IN THE OIL BUSINESS.
We little royalty investors are no
different from the big corporations
We are all afraid of dry hole, I'M
less it happens to be thanked, like the
Cobb No. 4, with producers. THEN
we all agree. But had that well
been out there a mile and a half
away from production, we would have
agreed that the north area of Cut
Bank was pretty well condemned.
What would have been the results
We could have bought Walberger
