rGOLDMONT Mill

BILLLNGS-Ra Wright, general
manager and Vice President of Gold
mont Mining Company, operating
On Miners Greek, Southeast Of
Older in Madison County, asked
your correspondent to correct a
statement in the Journal issue under
late Of December 4th, wherein it
was stated Goldmont had installed
a 1OO-ton mill. This is not true
according to Mr.. Wright. To quote
Mr.. Wright:
1--WE have finished the road and
ore dump, shop, clubhouse, and
other housing equipment. AT a Di-
rector's meeting held December 9Th,
we arrived at a decision to install
compressor and equipment. We
have opened up a cross cut in
which we encountered small assures
of high grade free milling ore. Plans
are now under way to install a
20 ton mill about April LIST.

error was published about the 100

Modern methods OF Oil-wen drill
ling, and OF all production as we'll
enable engineers to determine with
reasonable exactitude just how much
oil is available from a given field.
AS a matter of fact, so great IS
the progress of the past II years or
so that it is now comparatively a
simple task to estimate the amount
of oil in a field.
Drilling exploratory wells Is one
way to obtain the measurement.
Pressure existing a mile or more
beneath the earBh's surface teDs
the engineer what help he may
expect from nature in lifting the
oil: also what sub-surface condi-
tions may be encountered. Explora-
tory drilling once was as much
hit-or-miss proposition as was OIL
prospecting. Now both are sciences,
not exact. perhaps with much of the
guess-wOrk eliminated.

LOW GASOLINE PRICES
GTIMTLATE TRAVEL

If the nations motorists paid 1920
prices for gasoline, their 1898 motor
fuel bill would be 100000, 900

American Petroleum Institute as
serts in a statement pointing out
how gasoline prices have declined
during the past two decades.
Gasoline prices currently are about
half of what they were in 1920
and the average motortst, instead
of paying 5000 for his years supply
of motor fuel, win pay only $1Oe,

PARENT GETS
LEASE IN new
MIDWAY SECTOR

r. G. Parent who has been in
the oil business for IT years but
has never drilled well in Kelvin
sunburst field has started his first
well in that area ON the Midway
structure between Kelvin and Cut
Bank oil fields. Location is SWA
SEA Sec. 26-95N-4W.
This location is between the Pfabe
& Engleking-Enneberg discovery
welt and the main Rimrock pool
which is producing SS gravity crude
from a depth Of around 1000 feet
at the top of the Madison lime.
Parent has taken over the Tom
linson rig which was used on the
Davidson farm in Section 2S-S5-SW.
Parent took an assignment of a
lease from A. M. Kistner of Cut
Bank. The well will be known as
the Parrent-Anderson No. 1. While
the discovery well is half a mile
west of him, the Grant-Andersou
s a mile northeast and the Kelvin
Community well is south and west.
Parent drilled some wells in the
Little Rocky mountain district,
ping to develop gas for use in
the Landusky mines.

Looking Beneath The Surface

Geophysical surveying with sizes
mograph and gravimeter determines
the area of the field. Improved
coring practice discloses the thick
ness of oillbearing formations.
Analysis of we'll samples reveals the
percentage Of pore space filled with
oil. These data, with a report on
the quantity and quality of oil al
ready produced, provide sufficient
evidence for the engineer to reach
fairly accurate conclusion as to the
fields future yield.
These evidences of progress in
eliminating guess-work tend to in
rease the confidence of oil men in
their growing ability to find oil
wherever it may be and whenever
it is wanted. Once in a while they
make errors, but by and large they
are using science to better advan-
tage than did their predecessor
and they aren't depending on luck!
and vastly improved safety in air
travel.
Development of the new fuels has
been under way since 1928, when
refinery technologists went to work
to meet a demand of the U. S.
Army Air Corps for more power
and speed without increasing engine
size. An 81 octane fuel pointed the
way. 1t gave the war birds a full
third more horsepower per cu6ic
inch of engine displacement, much
faster speed, quicker take-off and,
rapid climb. Commercial air lines
took the hint, asked the technolo-
gists to consider the needs of aid
freight and passenger transports,
and the result is that real long dis
lance flying Is just around the cor
ner-and coming fast?

To OUR GRADUATES

In the life of the average boy and girl
few occasions stand out in memory to
compare with the thrill of graduation from
high school.
In Key West the schools will soon
celebrate the graduation of another class
by the staging of commencement exercises
during which the students will receive
diplomas attesting to their proficiency and
Intelligence. For many boys and girls this
will mark the end of their opportunity to
attend school but they should realize that
it does not end their opportunity to learn
The graduates of our schools and col
leges today go into world that is much
improved when compared with conditions
several years ago but nevertheless they
face problems which some older citizens
escaped. Many of them face the obvious
search for employment and the oppOr-
tunity to make their way in life and, I'M
fortunately, there is little certainty that
all those who deserve the opportunity to
work will be lucky enough to find it.
The Citizen hopes that the boys and
girls who graduate in this county will con-
tiRue their studies if it is possible for them
to do so. They will find their time well
spent and reap an appropriate reward
later in life. At the same time, we trust
that those who must Immediately seek
their economic fortune will not forget the
days of study or come to the conclusion
that they have learned all that they need
We take this opportunity of con-
graduating all students in this County
who have completed their school courses
and therefore receive appropriate diplomas
at this time. 1t is really an epoch in life
and the occasion marks the end of an era
that viii live long in memory but viii
