QUICkSAND ADDS
QUIvERS On GEO
DATA AT NESSON

Considerable difficulty is being
experienced by the geophysical
crews Of GeophysicaI Service, Inc.
of Denver in making a seismograph-
ic survey OF Nesson structure 80
miles east OF Williston. N D., owing
to quicksand which makes drilling
difficult and makes readings uncer-
tain. since the quicksand sets up
peculiar vibrations.
Thomas w. Leach of Tulsa has
leased much of the structure, turn
ing his leases over to the California
company, subsidiary of Standard of
California. The survey has been
practically completed on the north
side of the river and work is start
ing on the south side.
Leach is under contract with Big
Viking Oil Co. to start drilling be-
fore October /. 1887, and it is re-
ported that he is preparing to move
in a rig.

WE VISIT THE DEEP DRILLING AREA

The writer last week visited the
drilling operations of Roy c. Tarrant
of Cut Bank, on Luther structure, Car
bon county, west of Dry Creek OIL
field, preparing material for special
publication on this area,
Members Of this organization own
royalties on Dry Creek and one pro-
perty on Luther dome. We expect to
pick up some additional royalties in
this district which we believe offers
some of the greatest opportunities to
be found in the Montana oil industry
today. At present it is considered a
wildcat but anyone who visits the
structure and travels across it, as did
the author, will be convinced that it is
better than the average wildcat.
There is no spot in the United States
that is more interesting to geologists
than Carbon county, as evidenced by
the establishment of the Princeton
camp high on a mountain above the
town of Red Lodge, Here each summer
the foremost scientists of the world
gather for intensive work, rather than
a summer vacation The problems they
attempt to take solve them as far as
1000 miles away from their base, but
they concentrate on determinations in
Red Lodge area.
One of the most valuable contribu-
tions to Montana geology that has
grown out of this annual work is the
paper by Charles W. Wilson, Jr., on
the Nye-Bowler Lineament which re-
port discusses Dry Creek Fox dome
and Luther dome. He disagrees some
what with the geology on which we
did our early royalty buying IN the
district, but fortunately it seems to
improve the outlook for the properties
in which we are Interested.
Our one regret is that every member
of this organization cannot see thus

first view of Dry Creek field, as seen
from the high escarpment on the road

1t is all green, fertile country. 1t has

Garden of Eden by comparison
with the rough terrain of Dry Creek
field.
The rough terrain is a reflection
of the severe faulting of the oil field
Ia factor that is not so prominent in
Luther dome, or in Fox dome. Ac-
cording to the geology of Wilson and
others, there is but little faulting In
Luther dome and practically no fault
ing in Fox dome Faulting may be
an important factor in the accumu-
lation of oil in Dry Creek, if this oil
comes into the lower Cretaceous sands
as a result of vertical migration
through cracks and tissues, from low
er horizons On the other hand, these
faults make drilling hazardous as an
error in locating a well with relation
to fault my result in a dry hole In
the midst of producers. Since Dry
Creek wells are $500 feet deep, a
dry hole is a serious matter.
Fox dome is deeper drilling than
either Dry Creek or Luther dome. 1t
was largely for that reason that Tar
rant drilled Luther dome first With
the completion of the Luther test he
will probably move over onto Fox.
Luther is about the same drilling
depth as Dry Creek.
Not far from Luther dome is the
famous old, Gruze dome, where there
are big OIL seeps. Old timers drilled
for oil in' the vicinity Of those ,seeps
many years ago and found small
quantities of oil but not in CONNER
cial quantities. The OIL containing

beds are exposed on the surface, thus
giving the seeps and shallow prOduc-
ton. 1t is reported that further drill
ling is to be done on Cruze dome.
The significance of oil at Cruze
dome is the establishment of the fact
that these formations CONTAIN OIL.
1t follows that if there is oil in the
formations and the formations are up
lifted into suitable fold or structure
in which oil can be trapped, then
Luther dome and Fox dome, appar-
emily complying with these requisites,
will doubtless produce.
In our report on the district we will
present the history, showing how Ohio
Oil company leased up these folds and
held them, paying rentals for three
years, finally releasing them during
the time of the depression. The leas-
es were subsequently placed i'm escrow
and when Roy Tarrant became inter
ested, they were turned over to him
upon the spudding of test well.
At the time of our visit the well
as waiting for crew to cement the
surface pipe. It is one of the finest
oil rigs we have ever seen. 1t is a
tall rotary derrick, from Dry Creek
field, and has complete cable tool E.
Equipment, drilling with enormous tools.
Twenty-inch casing was being run
to shut off surface water. The hole is
to be drilled with cable tools to the
gas sand, at around $500 feet, when
the rig will change over to rotary and
complete with rotary tools.
Our narrative on this situation will
be, we believe, an interesting one. We
will submit al the facts as we found
them and our members will decide on
our programl of buying. With the ex-
eeption of Dry Greek, this will be our
first venture in deep drilling areas.
We believe we see in this district the
opportunity for giant gushers.

will get the detailed information

Final Week Of
"COOd Earth"

THE Good Earth" is on its
second and final week at Loew'S
Palace Theater.
At this distance, several
months removed from the slim
illus of press agents and elo-
quent enthusiasts, 1.-THE Good
Earth" is still a remarkable
movie. You'll be impressed by
the beauty of its photography,
its quiet restraint, its technical
MISUNDERSTANDING in the
locust plague sequence. The in
telligence of the film dramati-
zation will please you.
But when you've left the film
behind, you'll remember one
thing-Luise Rainer'S perform
ance. It's the best this versatile
lady has delivered. It's the best
any actress has brought to the
silver screen. It's so good that it
even beggarS Paul Muni's per-
Torrance. And MUM is an actor
to be counted. Ask anyone who
has seen Louis PaSteur." Ask
anyone who has viewed his
forthcoming Emile zola"-said
to be his greatest characterize
ton thus far.
Maybe Mum couldn't get the
feel of a Chinese peasant.
Maybe the character was beyond
his comprehension. But, more
likely Muni's portrait only ap-
pears labored and over empha-
sized because of Miss Rainer's
economy and play down tech
technique.
In fact, the whole production
sometimes seems too carefully
calculated, too highly polished
because of Miss Rainer'S mag
nificent quietude and the power
of her repression.
Be sure to listen to "The Good
Earth'S" music score. It's among
the best. But, most of all see the
film from its beginning. It's the
only way to appreciate the slow
and steady creScendo of Miss
Rainer'S great performance.
