YARD Worker Aided
MunitiOn Loading

The procedure by which ammu-
milton was hoisted wherever de-
sired on board ship was "revolu-
tionized" early in this century as
a result Of the inventive genius Of
a man at the Washington Navy
Yard,
That man is Benjamin Martin,
now IS, who lives at 125 Seventh
st. S. E., and who now has been
enjoying retirement from the Navy
Yard since 1888.
In the old days gears were used
for this hosting of ammunition
and it was not infrequent that the
gears would stick during the proc
eSs and much time would be lost
in this work.
Mr.. Martin made the suggestion
one day while working in the local
gun factory that cams be used
instead Of the gears. His idea was
accepted and the improvement
made, with the result that the
hosting is now done with perfec-
ton.
Entering as an apprentice ma
chinist in Wilmington. Del. in

rotary mud and clean the hole.
Then they started to swab in the
tubing. There were a few joints
of off-dimension tubing in the
string and there was consider

the water was swabbed out, oil
came up in the tubing to $3.50.

led into oil in the Ellis at 1880.
AS soon as the oil was discovered on
the tools the well was shut down to
make preparations for drilling an.
The only other we'll this far north
was the famous Boyce gusher. north
and west, which turned to water.
The DeWald Is higher on structure
than the Boyce.
There was no estimate Friday OF
production, but it is considered
certain that with the use OF acid a
commercial well is assured, with
the possibility of wells of the type
of the Boyce, higher on the .nose"

WYOMING HAS
WILDCAT PLAY

Montana oil men returning from
Wyoming report that the neighbor
state south Of Montana is enjoying
the greatest wildcat campaign in its
history, with more major compan-
les looking for structures than ever
before. Geophysi6al methods are
being used extensively, for the first
time, TO locate structures in locali-
ties where surface exposures are
lacking.
Exploration work during the past
year has been highly profitable,
with the Development OF Medicine
Bow field ranking as perhaps the
most important event in Wyoming
oil history since discovery Of Salt
Creek.
An interesting mechanical prob
lem is the wild gasser Of Paul
Stock in Garland dome. near the
south Montana border. This co.
600, O00-foot gasser viii be con-
troIied by directional drilling with
rotary tools. A well is now drill

the intention Of the engineers to
drill a slant hole to tap the big
ven and thus bring It under con-
troll: something new in the way
Of precision drilling In the North

said. of over 100000
The route Of the line will make
It possible TO pick up oil from
field by build
Ing a short feeder line north from
Shelby and 1t will connect onto the
Rice line out OF Pondera field,
oil available from three
fields.
Two booster stations will be built
md private telephone system will
parallel the line. The line win have
! maximum capacity of 5000 bar
els per day and is destined to car
