earth increases with the depth. Crude
oil becomes more fluid at higher temper

Is therefore obtained from a hot deep
well than from a shallow, cold well. We
learn that the recently completed Rio
Bravo well at Wasco, Calf. encountered
temperatures of 27O degrees f., at the
depth of II, 5S4 feet.
At such depths, petroleum is actually

BREAKING UP THEORIES

NM ANY old theories of the oil in
W. dusfry are being rapidly replaced
Az & with definite facts, completely
changing the picture from the viewpoint
of the royalty investor. There was
time when creeks were supposed to indi-
cate the location and trend of oil pools.
Now we know that this theory is en-
tirely fallaciOus. We know that oil
occurs for the most part in anticInaI
folds, and we know that creeks are fire.
quentIy i'm syncIines with only an occa-
siOnaI creek running along the broken
crest of a foId-which latter fact gave
rise to the earlier theory of how to find
oil wells.
That is just one example of the many
theories which have been displaced. Not
long ago we here in Montana were
solenmly told that oil at depths would
be heavy, black OIL" An operator i'm
Cat Creek told the writer that deep
drilling in Cat Greek was NOT TO be
encouraged because black oil would be
found In the lower sands.
When the Frazer deep test i'm Kelvin
Sunburst field reached the top of the
DevOnian It struck oil. 1t was NOT heavy,
black oil such as we had been told to
expect. Instead 1t was light, thin OIL
mostly gasoline and kerosene. We have
Ina our office two bottles OF oil, taken
from different horizons in the top of the
Devonian. At the time we took these
samples we were COMPOUNDED by this
violation OF the rule by q fairly con-
sistent Mother Nature. We were told and
we agreed with the statement that the
fact that this oil was of such extraOrdin-
airy nature was pretty conclusive evidence
that il had no significance. Had It
been heavy, black crude, we might then
have felt that a new oil horizon had
been opened up by the Fraxer-E3ice well,
I'm northeastern Kevin-Sunburst The
well had flow of poison gas of such
violent pressure that it wrecked itself
and was abandoned with several strings
of tools lost at the bottom at the great
depth" of 1890 feet.
Now we slowly awaken to the fact that
the theory of deep drilling has been
displaced by the actual facts obtained
by deep drilling I'm other states We
learn that an increase of one degree in
heat for every 45 feet has been discovered
In some drilling operations, this figure

INCOME TAX
RULINGS ARE
Overturned

An important supreme court de-
cision regarding taxes on oil opera
tons on state and federal lands is
called to the the attention of Mon
tana oil operators by William B.
since this decision reverses some
law set up by Montana litigants
The decision, of far reaching i'm
portance, was made by the SUI
nreme court in the case of Helver-
ing versus Mountain Producers
Corporation where in holding that
the income of oil operators on
school lands leased from the state
of Wyoming. is taxable. 1t over
ruled two of its earlier decisions
which stood in the way of a collec-
ton of taxes by the states and by
the United States government on the
incomes of private individuals and
organizations from leased public
lands, according to Mr.. Finlay.
The case in question reversed a
decision in that of Burnet VS.. Cor
Onado Oil & Gas Co, and of Gil
lespie vs.. Oklahoma The decision in
the former case was that the I'm
tied States could not tax the in
come of private corporation from
oil lands which it leased from the
state. The principle of immunity
from taxation of state income and
by the federal government
is restricted to the property of the
state itself and to the income which
the state derives from it and does
not extend to income from private
business enterprises merely because
the property used in the business
was acquired from a sovereign gov
