brought in at Payette. Idaho, just

According to Jacobs. the well
has considerable oil and derrick

The well was to have been drilled
in the town OF Payette but the city
council required such an enormous
bond as against fire hazard that
the location was moved across the
river.

Inc industry IN the past mas Deen
Handicapped by a lack of refining
facilities. Home produced crude has
been plentiful enough but because OF
prohibitive freight rates and the
lack OF reffneries, the home produc-
ers have been able to market the
products OF their wells, and as a
result a lucrative market for Wyom-
ing and California gasoline was
built up in Montana.
Now however, more favorable
conditions appear. There is every
prospect that the problem OF refin-
ing our own crude will be met and
solved in the very near future
The construction of refinerles at
Shelby, Minot. and Spokane for
treating Montana crude seems now
to be assured. and 1t is estimated
that these refineries will have a
combined capacity of from 5000 to
10000 barrels a day, all of which
will be Montana crude This, OF
course, will go a long way in pro-
viding sufficient gasoline to meet
Montana demands and will play
havoc with the market for foreign
petroleum products.
This will also prove a tremendous
impetus to the industry in the State.
New oil structures will be discovered
and developed Thousands of idle
men will find lucrative employment.
The buying power Of the people will
be increased, which will mean better
times for the merchants, the farm
srs, and all kinds Of business There
will be increased revenues for the

Ten truckloads OF material have
been hauled to location by Hugo

ted in Northern Montana.
1t is the location OF the Califor-

east face of the Rocky Mountains
and actually in the mountains. To
get to this location II was neees-

up a steep hillside The last half
mile is so steep that ''cat" tractor
must be used to pull the big trucks
to the top.
The top OF the hill is the top OF
a domal structure which dips sharp

the anticline plunges 10 the north.

This we'll is located in the vicinity
OF a test drilled in 1922 by North

which encountered oil in consider
able quantity. The we'll was spot
ted by Robert Ewart. itinerant
geologist. and other biologists de-
clared there was no structure pre-
sent. However, there were many
who saw bailers of oil taken from
the well and saw the stump covered
with a foot or more of oil. Some
of the same crew that worked the
well are drilling the Sc
curity well and they testify that
the Mortified showing would have
insured a producer, had the science
OF acidization been known at that
