Ell Centre police were mystified
because the men arrived in separ-

structural geology Of the antieline
in eastern Montana and southwest
ern North Dakota. It is based on
detailed field Investigations made
in 1881 and 1882, supplemented by
well logs and drilling records, The
two sheets show the north half ana
the south half Of the anticline and
covered an area about 500 square
miles. Aerial geology is indicated

GE0PHYSICAL WORK

According to the OIL & Gas Jour
nal OF Tulsa, more than $50 gs-
0physical crews are now at work in
Texas and the MIdcontinent, includ-
ing six in wyoming. There are 81
crews in California whereas there
were no more than six in the spring.
There are none employed in Mon
tana. Geophysical exploration has
largely displaced the work Of ge-
ologists elsewhere, as evidenced by
the fact that the oil industry is
spending around $14.000.O00 on ge-
ophysic work this year This type
OF work is especially valuable in
locating fault lines-a method that
will be especially profitable in the
Sweetgrass Arch where much OF the
faulting is covered over by soil
and glacial drift.
