stall poiymerization plant to CON
vert Turner Valley natural gas In
10 hfgh-octane gasoline, is gener-
ally expressed In the industry. bas-
ed on recent testimony Of 3. A.
Representatives opposing reduction
OF the Canadian tariff on gasoline.
1t is believed that through APP
plication Of certain modern refin-
ing methods the wet gas OF Turner
Valley can be converted largely In
to antf-knock gasoline.

sorption plant now being construct
ed in south Turner Valley will
have capacity of 70.000,000 GU
bic feet Of gas per day and win be
ready for operation about May /.
1t Is the fourth plant OF its kind
in this field. Roya1ite (Tmperial)
has two and Gas & on Products,
Ltd. has the third.
BritLsh-American has contracted
TO take the production of a number
Of independent companies in the
south end of the Valley and has
assisted In the drilling OF a number
of wells including Highwood-Sarcee
Oils No. 2 and Turner Valley Roy
alties No. /.
Adequate gas for all four plants
Is assured for the year since the
tests Of the flow conducted by the
provincial government resulted in
an increase from 250.0OO,O00 cubic
feet OF allowable to 276.214,0O GU
bic feet per day. For the present
the old allowable is being maintain
ed.
An odd factor of the new tests
was the disclosures OF increased
pressure in the north central area,
III eldest portion Of the field, while |
declines were most marked In the
newer areas to the south. The low
est pressures were in the Home
irea. Pressures vary from a mini
mum of 409 points to a maximum
u 1860, against a maximum 1906
pounds in 1884. The highest pres

Prices were the highest since
1880 but only slightly improved ov-
err those of the year 1884. Despite
this Improvement, prices did not at
tain the levels warranted by con-
ditions of supply-and-demand and
the purch asing power OF the dollar.
The accommodates price index for
the year averaged 500 while the
all-petroleum price index averaged
only $40. or 36 percent below the
average for all commodities. For
the assumed normal year 1925,
when the all-petroleum price in-
dex averaged 1000. the days sup
ply IN stocks was 210. For 1888
when the petroleum index was $40,
the days' supply in stocks was ISL.
Obviously, petroleum prices we're
at subnormal levels during the year
1885. This paradox of low prices
at a time of exceptionally good sta
tistical position reflected the inev-
table economic contradiction of the
'proration" system which contin-
ned during the year. Lower-cost oil
from flush fields continued to domi- /,

NORRIS AREA

Twenty-Five mines are in COM

of five miles of the thriving town
OF Norris. according to Charles Da-
Wis of Norris who is q visitor in
Great Falls.
Mr.. Davis is head of the To-
bacco Root mining company which
is operating the mine OF that name
also the Red Bluff mime, nearby.
He has q 35-ton pilot mill in opera
ton. running about 20 tons of ore
per day.
There are only two mills in
Norris district at the present time,
the one at the Tobacco Root and
a 50-ton flotation plant at the CAL
ena mine. The others have shipping
ore.
One Of the most spectacular pro-
ducers in the district Is the Boaz
mine. owned by the Jackpot Min
Ing company. Eleven men chip
ped in $1,000 to finance this mine,
thus forming the lack
pot" They then capitalized their
company at $4,000 and during the
past year they paid dividends to-
Eaiiing 400 per cent.
There are few spots where there
are greater opportunities than in
