RETURN FROM ILLINOIS

Mr. and Mrs. r. c. Jeffries re-
turned Sunday evening from New
ton, Illinois. where they have been
supervising drilling operations on
a tract of land which they. and 9TH
ers. have under lease.
Mrs. Jeffries stated that their
first attempt in the field resulted
in a dry hole. hut at present OPP
erations are being continued TO
deepen it in the belief that oil lies
at a lower horizon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jeffries plan to re-
turn to Illinois In the spring when
they will start operations on some
verv promising acreage which they
hold in the spectacular Illinois
field.-Cut Bank Pioneer Press.

OUTLOOK Of
CRUDE MART
IS IMPROVED

Presence in Great Falls of a
number of the leading indie
pendent producers of Kelvin
Sunburst together with sew
eraI Cut Bank operators during
the past week gave some meas
ure of authenticity to the re-
ports of a week ago that
refinery deal is nearing some
definite conclusion.
No formal announcement was
forthcoming from any of the parti-
cipants but if pending negotiations
are successful it is believed that the
construction of a refinery in Shelby
will be assured. Such a plant will
afford virtual solution to the ov-
reproduction problem. since it will
mean the absorption of virtually all
crude for which there is no market
at the present time
1t became known this week that
the new Inland Refineries, Inc,
plant at Spokane, with capacity of
about $500 barrels per day, will
begin operations on or about Feb
ruary Is, at which time Glacier
Production will begin large deliv-
cries, having contracted to furnish
all the requirements of the plant
This company is said to have E.
nough storage oil to supply all
requirements of the Spokane re-
finery for the present year but
new production will have
TO be developed to care for current
requirements under the 10-year
contract
Ground will be broken on or
about February / for the 1900

kane plant, will use only production !

Ter contract executed last June.
This company has sold no oil for

There was an idea there now. He'd been

thing to think about, because in his day Dan
had managed topnotchers. He'd quit the fight
racket and then he had come back. He'd come
back to take over Jimmy kelso, and that
didn't fit at all, because while Jimmy was
good and game and willing, he lacked class. So
