This was further confirmed when a well
drilled by w. NJ Fulton on the Gunderson
farm, adjoining, was likewise dry. Thus the
area was abandoned and lay idle for decade.
With the coming of acidization, Crumley
took over the Fryberger farm and has drill
ed a dozen successive producers. Meantime
the Gunderson farm was drilled, developing
the now famous Gunderson pool which rates
as one of the best pools in the field today.
Cruunley was not present to see the com
pletion of the No. 13 After giving instruc-
tions to his sons, he left for St Mary's lake
for a rendezvoux with a trout. The acid
''shot" was one of the largest ever success
fully used in this field containing 1000 gal
Ions of acid and 600 gallons of water.

FLOWING WELL
COMPLETED O.
GAS-OIL Line

The canny ability of Glacier Pro-
dueticn company to accurately tap
the 'gas-oil line" OF the Cut Bank
oil and gas field east OF the town
of Cut Bank was again demonstrate
ed during the past week with a
well that flowed when the sand was
cut. Though not large producers
these wells flow because of the pre-
sence of gas with the oil in the
Cut Bank sand.
The well is Glacier Production
State 16 No. 8, in NV NEKNTWN
16-33-5W, southeast OF the LawIer-
Hoerr-Clarkson producer. The
State well made one flow OF 10
barrels after the sand was cut and
flowed by heads when swabbed. II
made 140 barrels in the first "a
hours. The first Cut Bank eand
was at 2S76 and the first show of
oil at 1880. Drilling continued two
feet into the Ellis shale at 29Og
with bottom at 1905. 1t had a
hard. tight sand so IL was shot with
three squibs of nitro glycerin and
Is now cleaning out.

Pritchard and H. ii. Bradburn, vice
presidents, and A. F. Camo, general
sales manager for Canada, recently
made survey of the Alberta situa-
ton. They talked in terms of the
construction of refinery at Calgary
with = capacity OF 1900 barrels
per day and the extension Of Nc
Coll-Frontenac distribution facilities
into Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Since Texas company already has
facilities in these provinces it DIS
deemed improbable that subsidiary
or related company would duplicate
them.
This in turn is interpreted by
some Montana oil men as meaning
that Texas company will POSSIBLY
supply dts Canadian business through
McColI- Frontenac in which case its
Montana refinery will be able to
care for all its present Montana
business. Texas leads all other re-
timers in annual sales in Montana.
The company's Toronto and Mon
treaI refineries have a combined
capacity of $4,000 bbls. of crude
daily, and sales of all products in
1887 amounted to 147,0O0,000 gal
Ions Marine terminal storage
plants are operated at Halifax, st.
John, Three Rivers and Quebec, as
well as at seven ports on the Great
Lakes; and the company's proper
ties in Canada include 17S branch

Interesting and varied are the
comments of contestants among
whom are judges, lawyers, doctors
and professional men, also many
business men and scores of school
children. Many of them say that
they never before knew which
brands of gasoline were truly Mon
tana-made. Inasmuch as each one
was called upon TO designate the
brand of gasoline he liked best, a
few confessed that they had not
been using Montana-made gasoline
while others designated not only one
but the names of two or three fav-
orite brands.
Some of the puzzle solutions are
mounted on cardboard with lavish

Tools and machinery with which
to complete the well of Miracle Oil
Co. on Round Butte structure, were
purchased in Kelvin and Cut Bank
oil fields during the past week by
John E. Sadring, president and Nell
son Story Hogan, president Of the
drilling contracting firm Of Nelson
Story Hogan, Ltd.
Operations will be resumed in
a few days to complete the well at
Round Butte Structure, which is
now down to 1887 feet, corrected
depth, with showdngs of oil. Hogan
has just returned from Canada
where he has been successfully en-
gagged in drilling contract wells.
He also operates in California, Okla
homa and Texas. and he feels justi-
fled to go to any expense to COM
plete this well for Miracle company.
After completion of this well, he
will drill eight more wells for the
company and they will be drilled
with the newest and most up-to-date
mechanical rotary rigs manufactur-
ed by the Bridgeport Machine com
pany of wichita, Kansas, and the
American Well and Prospecting

BIG ACID SHOT GIVES WELL
WITH 3OO-BARREL INITIAL ON
FAMOUS FRYBERGER FARM

Flowing and pumping at the rate of 10
barrels per hour, the No. Is we'll of Crum-
ley & Sons on the Fryberger farm in CEN
trail Kelvin Sunburst field this week dissi-
pated the theory that number Is" is unluclzy
in the oil business.
This we'll was rated at about 10 barrels
per day natural at depth Of 1910 feet. 1t
had three distinct pay horizons, one at the
contact and two in the top of the Madison
lime. Accordingly, it was treated with three
times the normal amount of acid, totaling
| 900 gallons. AS soon as rods were run, to
start pumping, the well began to flow and
produced for two days at the rate of 800
barrels per day after which it settled down to
approximately $50 barrels per day. 1t is
making little or no water.
The Freyberger farm was one of the
first farms in the field to be ''disproven" by
he drilling of a non-commereial well. The
Gladys Belle Oil company drilled well on
his farm and it was non-conmrercal and the
arm was considered definitely 'disproven."

have a way OF wandering from

are not taken to prevent them.
Spheroid tanks reduce vapor

This keeps the more volatile fuel

constituents from evaporating. Safer,
too, because they tend to equalize

Indian Spring toppled the
Chevy Chase team for its third
consecutive loss yesterday at
Chevy Chase. 51a to 3h, and the
remaining two matches appear
mere formalities. The defending
champions will be forced to do
the impossible by scoring two
clean sweeps against Indian
Spring in order to pull the fast
slipping championship back in its
grasp.
Chevy Chase gained one con-
ISOLATION in all three defeats. That
was the winning effort Of its first
team In all three matches. And,
strange as it may seem, the scor-
ing in all three first foursomes
was 21a to "a in favor Of Chevy
Chase.
Indian Spring even shifted its
first team for yesterdays match
but even this failed to break the
jinx. Mrs. Bishop Hill and Mrs.
Y. e. Booker, Chevy Chase Clubs
first team, won over Mrs. Betty
P. Meckley and Marion Brown,
while Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Landra
Plat, who were the winners in
the previous two matches, and
Mrs. Meckley and Mrs. Charlotte
Stern Of Indian Spring were the
victims.
Congressional continued to
widen the breach in the quest for
the second team championship by
handing out an 8-to-1 defeat to
Manor Club at Washington. Con
gresSional'S winning effort sent
its scoring total to 351a points.
Other second team results were:
