LegGlizing Lotteries
On the editorial page Of The

you had an article entitled

can't we legalize lotteries. Now
the answer to that question is
very easy and simple.

can take the instinct Of gam.

it is time for them all to wake
up and get their heads out Of

Washington, compared to New

bucket.

Deep TEST
IS At 1000

Reports from Minot, n D., Fri
day were that the California COM
pany's deep test on Nesson anticline,
south of there. is drilling at APP
proximately 1000 feet, still work
ing in shale and lime. The objec-
tive top of the Madison lime now
appears a long way off. Biologists
are not fully agreed as to the age
of the formation but 1t is quite
certain that the present drill cut
tings are from the early PennsyI-
vanian beds, if not younger forma-
tions.
A drilling depth similar to Baker
field, on the Montana-Dakota Dor
der, had been expected, which
would have reached the top of the
Mississippi lime (Madison) at
around $500. Instead. the bit was
working in Chugwater red beds at
that depth. There were nearly
1 900 feet of red beds, which added
nearly as much additional depth
to reach the top of the Madison.
Since a test through the lime had
been contemplated. as at Baker,
to test the top of the Ordoyician,
this means drilling depths of at
least 5000 feet and possibly $500
feet
No showings of any kind have as
yet been reported, although the
four principal horizons in which oil
might be found are yet to be found |
Biologists say that this structure
IS doubtless in deep basin where

Seattle Group Strikes
Oil In Location South
Of Enneberg Discovery

morning, IA hours after the strike, the bailer
was run again and the fluid had mounted
100 feet in the hole but there was 100 feet
Of oil on top of 900 feet of water.
Examination of the drill cuttings reveals
that the last sample was shale and black lime
containing pyrites of iron, such as dstin-
cuisines the basal Ellis lime, but there was no
evidence of Madison lime in the sample.
Eight-inch casing had been run at 1775 to
shut off flow of water at the base of the
Colorado. Inasmuch as there was no water
showing when the well was shut down at
POO, it is considered possible that water
broke through from above However, the
log of the we'll clearly indicates faulting, in
which case drillers say anything is possible

WEST kelvin ADDS NEW WELL
IMPORTANT
NEWS IS DUE
on REFINERY

The coming week will doubtless
record important news regarding
refinery expansion in northern Mon
tana. An early announcement was
expected from J. W. Johnson who
was last night en- route back to
Montana from eastern cities where
he has been negotiating final de-
tails regarding the construction OF
at 3,00O-barrel refinery.
II has been learned definitely
that the location OF the plant is to
be In Shelby and there were rumors
In Shelby Friday that a telegram
had been received from Johnson
stating that all essential details had
been closed Johnson could not be
reached by wire to give confirma-
ton to the report
Still another refinery project is
about to be announced, involving
the construction OF 2.00O-barrel

and other details will be completed
and filed early next week
Construction OF these two plants.
coupled with plants at Pocatello,
Spokane and Kalispell. will take all
OF the available crude in north
Montana fields. including Kelvin
Sunburst. West Kelvin. Cut Bank
and Pondera In fact, II is said
that some additional drilling will
be required to supply the 1000
barrel plant. the principal finances
for which are being furnished by
Cut Bank and Kelvin producers.
Last fall when the Canadian re-
finers stopped buying Montana
crude. a chaotic condition arose.
IT is believed that by the middle of
the coming summer that the crude
market will be back to the same
as enjoyed in the Canadian
market and a more permanent and
stable market will be afforded.
Each OF the new refineries has
signed up longtime contracts with
producers and in no case will any
u the refineries be buying on the
open market. Only those who have
loined in one or the other OF the
projects. pledging their producing

We have spent in the past and
are now spending too much money
for commodities manufactured out
side of the State. The present
gasoline situation is a case in point.
The people of Montana are buying,
l am told, approximately fifty per
cent of the gasoline used in the
State. which comes from other
states. The crude is produced be-
yond our boundaries, processed and
refined in other states with capital
and labor outside of Montana, and
then shipped here and sold at hand
some profits to our people, and all
this in the face of the fact that our
storage tanks are filled with sur
plus crude. Our wells are closed
down, or proT'ated, with thousands
of idle men eagerly seeking employ
ment but forced to accept relief
in order to support themselves and
families. The development of rich
oil fields is retarded, and what
should be one of the major indus
tries of our state is languishing be-
cause OF the fact that outside gaso-
line is absorbing nearly fifty per
cent OF our market.
1t is difficult to understand the
psychology OF the people that will

Is not entirely with the big com
Danies. With them It is a matter
Of business. They send their pro-
ducts where they find a market;
and in Montana they find a people
who apparently willingly buy their
wares at prices which yield hand |
Iome profits. They send their pro-
iucts here because they find ready /
customers. The fact is. our own |
people are to blame for the dol
lrums in which we find the oil in
lustry today; and the people them
