ALIFORNIA-HOME
DEAL IN ALBERTA
NOW Terminated

1t has been learned here that
Standard Oil company Of Call
fornia has Withdrawn from its
deal with Home Oil company in
Turner Valley and will not de-
velop the extensive holdings tc
have been acquired. Announce
ment came from r. H. B. Kerr,
president Of the Home in a state
ment to stockholders, saying that
''Since the Standard Oil Co. of
California has not completed ar
rangements in Alberta for refining
and marketing of your oil products,
the completion of the agreement
would be of little value to either
company" The California Co. is
maintaining its biologists in AL
iberta and viii quite possibly pro-
coed on development of some OF its
other acreage in Alberta Home is
resuming development of its Turner
Valley properties.

GAS SYSTEMS
SHELBY TO
CONSOLIDATE

The natural gas war Of many
years in the town OF Shelby is
about to come to an end. This
became known with the filing in
Washington of an application with
the SEC for acquisition of the
Citizens Gas Co., by Great North
ern Utilities Co. The considera-
ton is given as $4,000 plus an
additional sum for improvements
since Sept. %.
A .'war or determination" in
which Shelby people continued to
nay a higher price than that estab-
lished by the Baer interests OF
Chicago was several times aired
before the public utilities commits
sion Of Montana without settle
ment or compromise. The Citi-
zens Gas Co., locally owned, con-
tinued in business.
The consolidation will mean a
uniform gas price for Shelby IN
the future, under regulations OF
the state utilities board.

BUSINESS STOPS
WHEN Big GAME
SEASON OPENS

Business Is not running as u.s.
ual' in Kelvin today because a good
ly portion Of the leading population
has gone big game hunting in the
Businesses of the Rocky Mountains.
The "Kevin crowd" goes big game
hunting at the opening Of the seas
on each year. Drilling wells are
shut down, testing on critical new
producers is halted and 'ibrain
work" of the field remains idle un-
til the mighty hunters get their fill
of climbing mountains all day and
playing stud poker at night.

the ground, wrecking the tank and at
the same time the flow line broke
loose from the casing, virtually
wrecking the rig.
The well was never again controlled.
Efforts to fish lost strings of tools
out of the hole were unsuccessful, al
though fortune was spent in the
attempt. The hole was finally plug
ged and abandoned, as was the State
deep test, subsequently. The State
well was allowed to flow wide open
for nearly two years, in the hope
that it would blow the head off the
gas and allow drilling to continue,
but the flow continued up to the
day the formation was plugged with
cement fabricated into the hole.
A ND so we must wait for the day
- when there is a. drilling rig in
Kevin-Sunburst that will effec-
lively seal off this "poison gas
when that formation is encountered.
Rotary men say that a rotary rig,
lively seal off the "poison gas"
There are rotaries in the adjacent
county of Glacier but no well has
been drilled with rotary tools in
Toole county. How long it will be
before rotaries reach Toole county
remains to be seen. 1t will probably
not be until there is a need for more
crude. When that need arises, some
one with the funds to do so will drill
a well close to the location of the
Frazier-Rice deep test with virtual
slightly over 5000 feet. The Frazier
Rice deep test bottoms at 1920 feet.
This location is due north Of the
great Fulton-Rice pool where 1900
acres Of oil land has produced more
than $12,000,OO0 worth of oil. Those
who thought that the limits of this
great East Sunburst pool had been
reached did not reckon with acidi-
cation. Oddly enough, acidization
had its start in the east side of this
field but there has been virtually no
drilling in the East district since
acid was introduced. Remarkable re-
suits have been achieved on the west
side of the field, accounting for the
Rimrock and Rocky Ridge pools.
The one spot where acid has claim
ed expanded production on the east
side is on the Imperial Craig proper
ties. Recently this company spotted
a well half mile beyond present
production on condemned" lease,
known as the Henry Gauss farm.
This lease was formerly held by an
Independent operator who employed
an expert" to check over his hold
ings. The operator was advised that
the Gauss farm was not worth drilling

CLOSE TO OLD FRIEND

DEVELoPMENT of new shall
glow pool in Kevin-Sunburst
field in the vicinity of the Frazer
Rice deep test recalls wildly to
memory the fact that OIL IN THE
DEVONIAN was found in this Frazer
Rice well, in Section 17-35-1W, less
than mile east of the well brought
in by Imperial-Craig company.
The writer was present when this
well was flowing oil into the tank
and we today have two bottles of
oil from this well which serve as a
constant reminder that below the
big lime" in Kevin-Sunburst field
there is high gravity, paraffin-base
crude similar in quality to the high
gravity crude of Turner Valley in
Alberta, where virtually all the pro-
duction comes from. the base of the
big lime"
The Frazer-Rice well might have
been in production today, and the oil
history of this state might have been
advanced by decade had the drillers
of that time possessed adequate drill
ling equipment to handle the flow OF
"poison gas the highly corrosive
gas which blew out of control, wreck
ing every string of tools that was
lowered into the hole.
Cable tools will not develop the
ho1oxrr ha tfh
lime" Both the Frazer-Rice deep
test and the Homestake Exploration
(Texas Pacific) State deep test failed
when they encountered the insuper-
able poison gasY horizon, this gas
pressure heaving tools out of the hole
with such regularity that it was i'm
possible to complete either.
At the Frazer-Rice well, there was
enough oil coming into the hole that
we feel certain that a shot of acid
would have developed good production
possibly a big well This was be-
fore the days of acidization, however
and furthermore, there was no known
way of shutting off that flow of gas
above the Oil.
THE well was connected onto
250-barrel flow tank by means
of a 6-inch casing which was
fastened onto the casing. With
each "head" of gas considerable
amount of oil would be blown into
the tank although it would blow oil
out of the tank with each flow. The
six-inch casing was anchored down
but with each flow it would vibrate
the entire rig. One night particu-
larly large head came up with such
violence that the casing stood erect
like a fire hose under pressure and
as the tank was securely fastened
onto the end of the pipe, the tank
was likewise picked up, whirled a.
round and thrown violently back onto

and so he let it go. The Imperial
Craig people then took a lease and
drilled a we'll The result was the
best well completed in the east dis
trict in a decade.
Again we know that in this field
there is no such thing as condemn
ed'' oil land until it has been drilled
and acidized. Even then, a well that
may not produce above the lime may
have most prolific production from
horizons below the big lime.
Scientists say that the oil now
found at the top of the big lime is
there as result Of vertical migration
coming up through cracks and fis-
sures in the lime. The folding of
limestone beds results in fractures
in the lines, while less brittle shale
beds bend Thus it follows that
where large fractures are found, large
production is found in the top of the
lime. Where there has been less frac-
turing, it is possible that there is a
greater amount of oil remaining in
the lower formations which are the
parent rock" of all this oil.
TH greatest values have re-
suited, in other states and other
= fields, from development of for
nations BELOW the big lime Had
rotary tools been used and had the
science of acidization been known in
May, 1926, the story of the Montana
oil industry would have been entirely
different today, because there can be
little question but that the Frazer
Rice well would have been SOME
kind of a producer, leading to other
drilling. But the lack of adequate
tools has held up this development
over the years, with the result that
the greatest opportunities in Kelvin
Sunburst rest in the FUTURE.
Those who can interpret the facts
as they exist today will be able to
capitalize them, through the purchase
of leases and royalties. A few years
ago our members paid 81 per cent
per acre for royalty on the Gauss
farm, before Imperial-C took the
lease. That means that this tract
must produce only 800 worth of oil
per acre to pay out. We have seen
royalty in this field sell for $120 per
cent per acre. The history of de-
veloped tracts in this field shows us
that we may expect the Gauss farm
to produce many times 500 worth
of oil per acre, and each time it
yields 500 per acre it will pay our
members 1909 on their investment in
Gauss royalties. That shows that the
person who is willing to back up his
good Judgment with a few dollars
invested in royalties can capitalize
the promising future of Kevin-Sun-
burst field.

Hope for Backman,
Unreported on Flight
Chicago Flyer, Long

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, May 1S.-Relatives on
both sides of the Atlantic virtually
abandoned hope today for the safety
of Charles Backman, Chicago avia-
tor long overdue on an attempted
solo flight from Newfoundland to
Stockholm.
The 34-year-old flyer has hen
unreported since his takeoff early
Tuesday. Mr. Backman's small, 90
horsepower monoplane carried suffi-
cient fuel for 45-hour flight. He
had figured making the crossing in
% hours.
Mr.. Backman's brothers, Andrew
and Gust of Chicago, said they had
lost hope for his safe arrival. In
Sweden another brother expressed
fear he had been forced down at
sea. Mr.. Backmans craft carried
no radio.
Letitia Lentz, 20, the flyers sweet
heart, indicated she also had aban-
doned hope. However, she, like the
aviator's mother, brothers and sis
ters in the village of Rattvik
Sweden, remained near radios in
hope Of hearing news of him.
Mr.. Backman flew nonstop from
st. Louis to Bangor, Me, last Sun
day and hoped the following night
to Botwood. Newfoundland starting
