BELIEVE TT OR NOT,

geochemical determinations are used to-
day to establish the presence of oil in
a known structure. This seems very
difficult to believe but it has been estab-
lished that heavier ends of hydrocarbons
filter upward through the earth through
all intervening beds and reveal the pres
ence of oil in the lower horizons. No
beds are impervious to the upward flow
of heavier hydrocarbons, the chemists
declare The method is to take samples
of surface soil at exact intervals in Zines
extending in several directions over the
land. The Interpretation of Quantitative
laboratory analyses has gone so far as
to indicate the shape Of the pool as well
as to show the mere presence of oil.
In the olden days it took long time
to drill an oil well and 1t was expensive
business. We recall when the contract
price in Kevin-Sunburst was $4,000 per
well and the drillers ran four strings
of casing. Now they drill to the top of
the sand with only a short conductor pipe
in the hole, in many cases, and the cost
is less than half. That is with cable
tools
Cable tools have never had much sue
cess in drilling through the hard lines
of the Madison end lower formations.
Accordingly, we have had no deep drill
ling and many OF us were convinced
that it was impossible to get through
the poison gas" horizon below the bot
tom of the Madison lime We Montanans
have always believed that 5000 to 1000
feet constitutes "deep drilling" THAT
depth will test the lower horizons of
Kevin-Sunburst, of Pondera and Banna-
tyne. But the great cost" and the
hazards" of drilling that deep have
prevented drillers attempting that haz-
ardous feat.
BELIEVE TT OR NOT,
in other states a well is not considered
deep until it goes below $500 feet
nearly twice as deep as north Montana's

IHDIANLAHD
LEASING ACT
ISUNCHHHGED

Copies of the new law providing
for leasing of mineral rights on
Indian reservations have been re-
ceived in Great Falls, following pas
sage and approval of congress and
the president. The law was passed
to codify the method of leasing on
various reservations, the rules on
many of which were in conflict
The new law is practically the same
as that under which Blackfeet reser-
walton leases have been given. The
text of the new law follows:
AN ACT

Indian lands for mining purposes.

produced in paying quantities.

Secretary of the Interior may pre-
scribe Such advertisement shall re-
serve to the Secretary of the Inter
Tor the right to reject all bids
whenever in his judgment the in
terst of the Indians will be served
by so doing, and If no satisfactory
bid is received, or the accepted bid
der fails to complete the lease, or
the Secretary of the Interior shall
determine that it is unwise in the
interest of the Indians to accept the
highest bid said Secretary may re-
advertise such a lease for sale. or
with the consent of the tribal coun-
Gil or other government tribal au-
thorities, a lease may be made by
private negotiations Provided, That
the foregoing provisions shall in no
manner restrict the right of tribes
organized and Incorporated under
16 and II of the Act of
June IS, 1884, CAS- Stat. 984), TO

ELlLlI I OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BELIEVE 1T OR NOT

1t was not long ago that the oil
industry was looked upon as the most
speculative Of industries and none
would refer TO an oil venture as an
Investment" This term "specula-
ton" was based on the oil industry
of the days when little was known
regarding the geology OF oil; when
an oil 'strike" was almost wholly
a matter OF chance; when oil COM
panies were small and poorly financ-
ed, for the most part; and above all,
when the market for oil products
was limited.
Science has come into the oil industry
to a point where it is difficult for us to
believe the impossible" accomplishments
which have removed or can remove most
of the speculation from the oil industry
