Biologists Believe Nesson
Field Same Dome Here

Preparations were beine made
this week to start the wheels turn
ins that would set in motion drill
ing operations of a deep test oil
well on what is known as the Mes
sen oil field 16 miles southeast Of
Ray and 80 miles east of Williston.
This news is Of more than passing
interest to residents of Sheridan
county because the belief already
has been expressed by biologists
that the dome on which centers the
oil activity in Williams county, ex-
tends northwestward into north
eastern Montana.
Drilling operations at the Nesson
well are being carried out by the
California Company, and follows an
expensive survey carried on by that
company with seismograph equip
ment last summer.
The Manning company of Denver
has been engaged to drill AT least
four test holes to a depth Of 49,
600 feet. Location of the first well
is only a thousand feet from the
test well started by the Big Viking
OIL company, a local concern, sew
eral years ago, and is on land be-
longing to Nels Ramp.
A large steel derrick 145 feet
high has been set up, and now the
huge drilling and hosting appar-
atus is being set in place.
Drilling operators estimate that

months TO complete the first well.
When work is started, operations
Will continue "a hours a day until

crews OF eight men each carrying on
the work.

WARRANTS ASKED
BOUGHT BY STATE
TEACHERS IN CONVENTION ASK
STATE no SET UP FUND TO
PURCHASE WARRANTS

One Of the resolutions fostered
by the Sheridan county delegation
to the Montana Educational %associo-
ton convention at Miles City and
which received approval of the body
vas a request of the state that steps
be taken to eliminate discounts on
salary warrants of instructors in
counties where they are now being
discounted.
According to a plan now being
formulated, an association will be
organized to foster the mo discount
movement. state treasurer Roy
Shannon stated to the delegation 1t
was possible that the state of Mon
tana would buy the registered war
rants at par, providing that school
districts on which they we're issued
We're not too delinquent in their
funds. \ maximum of two years of
registration has been set.
With many northeastern Monana
counies forced to register warrants
in view of insufficient tax payments
financial institutions have found it
impractical to cash warrants from
many districts without discounts. In
this area the discount basis has been
S per cent.

conservation program got under
way today with the first of a series
of diversion dams to be constructed

dam will be north of the town of
Reserve.
The series of diversion dams on
the river will be one of the county's
major conservation undertakings.
The diversions will be constructed
at no cost to the county, labor be-
ing the only expenditure and this
supplied by WPA. Sponsors of the
dams, not less than three benefici-
aries, furnish their own lumber and
piling. Most of the construction,
however. will be of clay and rock.
More than five such diversion
dams on the Muddy are already con-
templated. A. j. Olsen, chairman of
the board of county commissioners
said today. Locating of feasible wat
err conservation projects is under
way throughou the county, the COM
missioner said.

struction of diversion dams along
the Muddy river may be the first
step for securance of the proposed
Big Muddy irrigation project for
which considerable agitation is now
being made. The dams to be built
along the river would be used in di-
version water to irrigable lands and
is in keeping with the proposed pro-
iect.

commissioners in compliance with
the WPA ruling that funds for this
area must be used for water conser-
vation. With the exception of a
