Is About
To Happen

The air is surcharged with
the belief of northern Mon
tana oil operators that some
thing is about to happen in
the next crude market situa-
ton.
There is no question but
that there is something pend
ing.
The rumor-thronged oil
fields are nervonseven jit-
terry.
Most important were well
founded rumors of deals for
the outright purchase of oil
properties, in Pondera, Kew
in-Sunburst and Cut Bank.
First was the reported sale
of the K. D. Pardee proper
ties in Pondera oil field. to
California buyers. Other Pom
dera deals were rumored.
A survey of important
properties in Kevin-SunburstI
is reported in progress, con-
Quoted by unnamed potential
buyers.
On Tuesday it was rumor-
ed in every office in Shelby
and Cut Bank that a deal was
being closed in Great Falls
by the Shell for the purchase
Of all the Rice Oil Co. proper
ties. Not less than a dozen OPP
orators called the Journal. |
The Journal dignified the ru-
nor by making inquiry at the
Home refinery. w. E. Rice
md H. c. Batter, heads of
he Home, were reported out
If town. Then grew the con-
riction that the big confer
nee" was being held at the
Rice summer home in Sun Riv-
T canyon. This proved err
'oneous. Despite emphatic
Ienials, a number of north
Montana producers came TO
treat Falls to try to sell their

field practice this well was "dry
hole, ready for abandonment.
Continental treated this showing
with 500 gallons of penetrating
acid. 1t took the acid readily and
the acid shooter" smiled. A new
horizon had been found in the
Madison line. Deeper drilling
might reveal several such horizons.
Five hours later they opened the
well up and started to pump. They
quickly recovered the oil used in
forcing the acid into the lime, and
it continued to pump at the rate of
around 100 barrels per day. 1t is
now settled to around so barrels
and is rated by Continental as a
60-barrel well.
incidentally, this land belongs
to the State of Montana and adds
another $4,000 per year to the in
come of the school fund, from the
royalty.

REAL deep TEST
At BAKER TO GO
TO THE DEv0NIAM

A deep test is under way
in Baker-GIendive field, work
ing in the Madison lime at a
reported depth of Zoo feet
on Thursday.
Recently the flow of oil at
the top of the Madison lime
was cemented off to shut off
water. Drilling through the
cement, the drills revealed no
water at the bottom. Since it
will be possible to come back
and shoot the cement walls
with a perforator gun and re-
claim the present production,
Montana Dakota Utilities de-
cided to make a deep test.
They expected to go another
1000 feet, to 700 feet or
more, unless mechanical diff
culties or another flow of oil
should intercept. This will test
the top of the Devonian for
it is believed.

new LETHBRIDGE
REFINERY NEEDS
ADDITIONAL CRUDE

Floyd Huff, formerly of Lewis
town, was a visitor in Shelby this
week, looking for an additional sup
ply of high gravity crude for his
new refinery at Lethbridge.
Five hundred barrels Of Sunburst
sand oil from the Coolidge & Cool
idge lease were run through the
plant and virtually over night the
people of Lethbridge had purchas-
ed all of the gasoline manufactured
therefrom- 1t was an excellent pro-
duct and was enthusial1y receiv-
ed.
Huff conferred with Cut Bank
producers with a view to securing
additional sweet" crude as ne has
no facilities for handling sulphur
Gus crudes from the Madison lime
Huff built and operated the Re
gal plant at Calgary, after leaving
the Lewistown refinery, and he is
widely known throughout Alberta.
He forsees a market for every gal
lon OF gasoline his plant will pro-
luce at maximum capacity.

FINISH AR0N0W SPUR

Completion of the Aronow spur
on the Great Northern branch north
of the town of Kelvin was announc-
ed this week by Great Northern
railway officials. Loading racks have
been completed, together with about
10000 barrels OF storage, to handle
the Aronow crude for his refiner-
les at Kalispe1l and Havre. His
tank farm and loading racks are
located on the Sohn farm in Sec
ton 23-35-3W. He has completed
a gathering system in the Kelvin
field, to his various producers.

one CHANCE
IN THOUSAND
IS REALITY

A "Once in a Thousand" chance
delayed acidization of the Dunbar
test well, west OF Cut Bank oil
field this week, and status is little
changed from last week when a
showing OF oil was reported
A lost bit had been sidetracked
in the hole before the well drilled
into the Madison lime TO encounter
high gravity oil. The owners, L. p.
Jackson and Stanley Gray, wanted 20
shoot the lime with nitro glycerin
before applying acid. They asked
experts gathered around whether
the shot would likely disturb the
lost bit
ssagot chance in a thousand,
they were assured. The 10-quart
squib was fired. The BIT dropped
over into the hole. It became nee
essary to again cement it and drill
past. The new hole apparently is
running parallel TO the old hole,
and so feet Of drilling is in pros
pect, to again reach the lime. The
present showing will be tested after
the acid shot and then the hole will
be deepened into lime to the hort-
CON where the Del Bonita wildcat
a few miles north is getting its
chief production.
The well is known as Jackson
Sray-Dunbar No. 1, in NV SEA
NWH 22-S4-7W, and bottoms at

FOUR TESTS
NORTHERN STATE
NEARING SANDS

-Four north Montana wildcats
were reported making Roadway this
week, with one of them drilling In
oil
This one is Tarrant's WalIen-
stein No. 1. NV NWA NWH s.
2g-5W, west Of Pondera oil field,
which had a show of oil in the
Madison lime at 1905. Before It
was treated with 500 gallons of ac-
i'd, there was a bailer OF oil in the
bottom. The acid did not seem 70
penetrate the hard formation al
though pressure was built mp to
600 pounds. After the oil used in
treating was recovered it was max
ing more oil than before, so on
Thursday drilling resumed, and at
last reports had reached 2512.
The nearby Continental Develop
ment well. which had 8 barrels at
the contact. did not get its sulphur
water until $500 feet, having three
shows Of oil between the contact and
the water, so Tarrant is watching
for additional porosity in the top
of the lime and will keep on drill
ing until he gets more oil or water,
