One fishing job and a casing job
held up two expected competitions
in the new Midway pool between
Kelvin and Cut Bank fields during
the past week

fishing job with a string OF tools
in the hole and cavings on top OF

feet. just above the pay" and It
fell in on the tools 1t will be
necessary to run a string OF casing

The first completion OF the year
in the new pool will likely be the

the discovery well, which has now
completed running 6-inch casing at

A second fishing job in the Mid

at 1900 feet and at 1850 they lost
a bit in the hole. They are work

INDEPENDENT
IS USING DRY
CREEK CRUDE

Belief that all Montana refinerfes
will shortly be using Montana crude
results from the greatly increased
runs of Dry Creek crude to the
Independent Refining Co. at Laurel.
has been delivering Dry Creek
crude to the Independent in increas-
ingly large volume and the month
of January saw this plant turn out
nearly 100000 gallons of gasoline
of which about half was exported
to Idaho, Utah. Wyoming and North
Dakota.
Last summer the Independent
plant was improved by the addition
of a modern Dubbs cracking unit
and recently two gasoline storage
tanks of $1,000 barrels capacity
have been built, greatly increasing
the facilities Of the refinery.
Dry Greek crude is OF a quality
similar to Cat Creek, making so per
cent gasoline by simple distilIation
and 80 per cent by cracking. Ohio
Oil company has had this field shut
in for several years and has made
only occasional sales until last fall
Last year Dry Creek produced
1OS,627 barrels of which 1O1.O9S
barrels were refined in Montana,
chiefly in the Laurel refinery.
It was reported recently that
the Independent has arranged for
the sale of all of its OUTPUT for the
year 1888. 1t markets in Montana
largely by truck haul within truck
Ing distance Of Billings.

PRODUCTION
SHOWS DROP
FOR JANUARY

Montana OIL production in Janu-
airy showed a slight drop from the
December production. doubtless due
to weather conditions, totaling $780,
$50 barrels against 399.694 barrels
In December The average OF H.
2S4 barrels per day is the lowest
since the development OF Cut Bank
field. having been up to around
10000 barrels per day.
The chief loss during the month
was in Cut Bank where the curtail-
ment was down to 208,933 barrels
for the month against PA. 405 bar
rels in December. Kevin-Sunburst
production dropped off about $500
barrels for the month. Daily av-
erages were:
Cut Bank. 6,75S barrels per day
Kevin-sunburst, 3,4Os barrels
per day
Pondera, 795 barrels per day.
Cat Greek continued to hold its
own, producing 1880 barrels in
January as against 1902 barrels
during December
Montana refinery consumption
did not quite equal production but
1t averaged 10, 423 barrels per day.
Exports 30 Canada dropped off to
1 .555 barrels, all from Kevin-Sun-
burst field. AS a result, storage
oil increased 33.962 barrels, to
1 .415.574.
Billings refineT1es continued to
import Wyoming crude at slightly
less than the customary rate, total
ing 131 PA barrels in Iauuary-
an average OF 4,232 barrels per day.

MUST DRILL
HESSON TEST
MUCH Deeper

Resumption Of drilling at Cali
fornia company's test we'll on Mes
son anticline in western North Da-
kota, not far from Baker-Glendive
oil and gas fields, is expected in
the near future as road conditions
improve.
The present outlook is that this
well will have to seek production
at a much greater depth than was
first anticipated. 1t now looks as
though production will he found, if
at all. between $500 and $500
feet, whereas production had been
expected fully thousand feet
higher.
The we'll is now shut down at
$3.50, believed to be in the top Of
the Pennsylvania lines. The sur
prise development in this well was
the. presence Of an Unexpectedly
thick Chugwater formation Where
as it was expected that the Chug-
water was lensing out to the north.
this well had 1900 feet Of Chug-
water red beds. They are present
in Wyoming and in the Dakotas.
1t is expected that the bit will
find another 1000 feet of Pennsyl-
vania lines before reaching the top
of the Madison lime of Mississippian
age, which gave the first oil in the
Baker wells. The top of the lime
was at approximately $500 feet,
in the Baker discovery well and
that hole was carried to what is
believed to he the top of the Ordo-
vician whore a second flow of oil
was encountered.
1t now appears that the Nesson
drilling will be about 1000 feet
deeper than Baker

new TOPPER
STARTING UP
AT 0ILM0NT

Announcement was made this
week that Morton Refining CON-
pany, with a plant located four
miles south OF Oilmont, in Kelvin
Sunburst field has just started OPP
erations. The plant is capable OF
refining about 100 barrels of crude
daily.
The company will specialize in
tractor fuels. supplying local farm
ers with high grade distillate and
diesel fuels made from Montana
crude.
The plant was designed and its
construction supervised by z. F.
Mote of Denver. who is now In
charge Of operations.
Crude from the West Kelvin pool
is being blended with oil from the
Morton wells and is said to make
a very fine tractor fuel.

Farmers, SpOrtsmen Are
Responding To Request
For Quail Liberation

Under sponsorship of the Rockville
Izaak Walton League Chapter, drive
is under way to raise funds for the
purchase of Virginia quail for liberia
ton in all parts of the county.
Reuben Riggs president of the chap
ter, is in charge of the campaign. His
chief aides are Robert A. Hughes and
Hilton Darby and virtually all mem
bers of the organization are under
stood to be cooperating. It is said
that sportsmen, farmers and others
are responding literally to the ap-
peals for contributions.
The quail will cost between $4.5C
and 81 pair, it is stated. They will
be obtained in Virginia on the theory
that birds from that State will do bet
ter in Montgomery County than those
brought in from sections with more
dissimilar climatic conditions.
It is understood that the quail to be
purchased will be released in pairs in
he early spring, at least one brace
on the property of each farmer con-
tributing to the fund. The program is
expected to mean improved quail
shooting in the fall and, if successful,
may become an annual activity of the
Rockville Chapter.

Precisely. And if am not mis-
taken, it's got something else on

took it out of Parker's pocket and
tossed it over here, thinking it was
worthless"
"You mean the man who killed
him?"
"Just that. The murderer was
evidently looking for something
possibly letter or some kind of a
document. He rified the mans side
pockets, found nothing in them but
this pill box, tossed it aside and
then examined the breastpocket of
his coat. There he discovered what
he wanted, took it and disappeared.
I'll photograph these prints and then
it'll be up to you to find out if they
correspond with those of anyone in

Connecticut Teaches Its
Infant Lobsters to Dive

Connecticut, great lobster center,
has a scientific method Of Matching,
cultivating and protecting it's crus-
taceans, states Noank Conn. }
United Press writer.
The state hatchery annually re-
leases about 100000 baby Holsters,
measuring about seven-eighths of an
inch, and which have undergone a
twenty-day period of forceful feed
ing on ground beef liver. During
the first three weeks of their in
fancy they are taught to dive in
special tanks so as to protect them
selves from marine marauders I'M
til they attain a sufficient size to
defend themselves.
One notable advancement was
made in the rearing of Holsters
when the hatchery abandoned the
common method of scraping the
eggs from the mothers tail. Now
the mother is permitted to hatch
her own eggs, but she is irnme-
diately separated from the young
because of her cannibalistic tenden-
cies. Not only is a great loss of
young prevented in this way, but a
sturdier breed is developed.
There are 200 tanks at the hatch
cry through which $4,000 gallons of
sea water are pumped hourly in
which the young are confined and
recorded until they shed their skins
four times and finally acquire a
crusteo coat. At this period the
lobster changes from a swimming
crustacean to a crawling crusta-
cean.
The young lobster then is ready
to shift for itself. Fishermen
"plant" the babies in about twenty
inches of water, among the rocks
and seaweed. AS they grow larger
they migrate to deeper water.
Within five years they attain a
weight of one pound and are ready
for the table.
The hatchery, besides rearing lob
sters, matches 100000 founders and
100000 smelts each year.
