MAY USE ACID
ON OIL SHOWING
AT BROADvIE

BILLINGS - Testing continued
this week on the showing OF oil
at the top of the Madison lime in
the N. Halbriter we'll on Broad
view dome. northwest of Billings
The showing comes from APO to
4147 feet and it is considered
probable that acidization will make
a producer. Before using acid the
owners are drilling to the first
break" in the lime.
Owners of the well assert that
the log of this well revealed a full
section OF quadrant formations.
Statement published in the Journal
that the true quadrants are not
present was based on a recent pub
LEGATION of the Montana School OF
Mines in which DIR. Scott disagrees
with the theory that the forma-
tons found in central Montana
are truly quadrants. Thus far,
this section has failed to produce
amounts of oil in CEN
rial Montana.

REFINlERIES
INCREASING
CRUDE RUNS

Gasoline sales in Montana mount
ed to total of ia, S72,220 gallons
during the year 1887. an increase of
5,7S1.217 gallons over the consump-
ton in 1885.
These figures are revealed by tot
ais taken from the monthly records
of the state board OF equalization
at Helena. These figures show that
Montanans used 65,152,95S gallons
of Montana-made gasoline and 49,
1926 gallons of imported gaso-
line
This compares with 5S.13O.306
gallons of Montana-made gasoline
and 49,96O.697 gallons of imported
gasoline used here in 1885. The
importers lost about a million gall
Ions and Montana refiners gained
about 100000 gallons.
At the same time it became
known that Montana refiners used
3.471,7S1 barrels of crude during
1887. against 2.634,454 barrels in
1886 and 1,SO3,294 barrels in 1895,

RUMORS PUT
QUIETUS on
CONTRACTS

There was a decided lull in the
new market impetus in north Mon
tana fields during the past week
Producers with about 5000 barrels
OF crude for which there is no i'm
mediate market hesitated to sign
new contracts. Some OF those who
have signed five-year contracts on
the basis OF IA cents under the Mid
continent price seemed somewhat
regretful of that act.
The change in sentiment came as
a result OF rumOrs OF the entrance
OF the Continental into north Mon
ana oil fields, the return of the
Canadian buyers this spring and
other rumors, which mean that
possibility OF the outright sale of
leases else contracts on the Midcon-
tinent basis, which IS commonly
talked.
A proposal for the erection of
a 5,0OO-barrel refinery, details of
which had been completed up to
and including the financing OF the
construction and marketing OF ma
jor portion of the output, was said
20 be tottering in the balance be-
cause of the refusal OF producers
to sign contracts.
Montana refiners, who realize
the danger OF continued distress
crude to the entire industry, have
not opposed any II the new refinery
projects and have, in fact. encour-
aged meritorious propositions In the
belief that volume of production
will bring lowered freight rates
which will expand markets for all
Montana refiners.
II the major refinery project fails,
through inability to get crude con-
tracts, there is little hope for sta
OF the market. Present
refineries are running
at capacity. They can handle no
more crude, they say, with present
facilities.
Rumors of refinery construction
by Continental were denied by W.
NJ. Ferguson of the Continental Oil
compay at Denver who wired the
Journal last Saturday. This mes
sage followed a similar wire from
the office of Dan Moran, president
Of Continental.

been as favorable for drilling as in
California. Since there is no i'm
mediate need for additional produc-
tin. operators have not attempted
to do any drilling.
Cut Bank observers say that there
ale some 30 must" wells to be
drilled in Cut Bank during the pre-
sent year, irrespective of market
conditions. A dozen or more addi-
tional wells are planned by opera
tors who have crude contracts and
who must drill new production TO
offset natural decline of present
wells. None will attempt to start
drilling. however, until the uncer-
tainties OF Montana winter weather
are past.

reverse any ruling the present board
may make The terms of present
members expired on January 8 but
it is provided that they shall con-

Some say that the governor will
not insist on an early ruling but
will watch the developments of the
next few months and act according
ly. Should the industry work out
its own salvation before summer,
the governor will likely continue

The fact that the papers carrying
the advertisements stated that their
product was Montana Made from
{ Montana Crude has a circulation
| over most of the State makes 1t
somewhat misleading to say the
least. However, people wishing to
secure Gasoline Made from Mon
tana Crude are urged to go to the
stations exhibiting the big Red
Signs which read Cali Gas Sold
here Made from MONTANA
CRUDE" Stations which apply for
these signs will be supplied as
quickly as we can check the source
of their supply and they are re-
quired to sign a statement to the
effect that they are selling only
Gasoline made from Montana Crude
and that they will cease to display
the sign Immediately if they handle
any gasoline except that Made from
Montana Crude.
Stations that are not 1000 but
have pumps handling Gasoline made
from Montana Crude can secure
the 1O-inch DeCalc pump signs
reading This pump contains Case
line Made from MONTANA CRUDE. "
The December report further
shows that 2,4O0,643 gallons Of
gasoline was imported for the
month bringing the total to 4S,S7S.-
sos for the year 1887 in addition
to the large amount of crude i'm
ported and refined within the state.
Our educational and advertising
campaign is meeting with very
fine response and we find that the
people of Montana are very loyal
to their State and anxious to de-
velop its natural resources to create |
and new wealth within
the state
The City of Great Falls as an
