happened to him at the company
where he works. It just goes to
show how deceiving terms can be
if you don't listen carefully. My
boy said that his boss called him
in and said that after examining
the boys work he was going to
divide his pay by so per cent. The
boy only got SIS a week and I
started to tell the boy to refuse
to take such a change in pay and
he just looked at me and grinned."
"Well, I don't see that that's
anything to grin about" said Ed.

But when that time comes, pros
pecting will be far less hazardous
than ever before, owing to develop
ment of new sciences.
No longer does the prospector
depend upon surface indications to
find an oil dome or trap. BY the
use of the science of geophysics he
can accurately locate every bulge
and break (anticlines and faults)
in the earth's crust. Geophysics ar
rived in Montana only during the
last two years. The future oil fields
will be found with far less risk
than the trial-and-error methods of
the past, as a result.
Wells in Kevin-Sunburst that
used to cost $4,000 now cost less
than half that amount. In the
deeper fields, modern rotary drills
have replaced the slower churn
drills. Rotary tools bore a hole,
with robot control that excells the
ability of the most skilled driller.
These new type portable rotaries
are mounted on truck. They
'spud in" a well within an hour
after arriving at a given location
Last week a well was completed in
North Cut Bank to a depth Of $500
feet in 10 days of drilling. Mon
tana has been the "last stand" of
the cable tool driller but as deeper
drilling comes, rotary tools will
drill the wells.
Testing the Deep
Sands In North
Deep drilling is the most inn
portant factor in the future of the
Montana oil industry. One deep
test, to the Devonian, is contem-
plated during the present year on a
geophysical thigh" west of Pom
dera oil field, in Pondera county.
There is talk of a cooperative
deep test in Kelvin field.

market say that permanent pros
perity is at hand for Montana peo-
Die are today using 20 per cent
Montana-made gasoline to 80 pei
cent of imported gasoline and while
this is perhaps unneighborly to the
other oil states, it is giving employ
ment to hundreds of Montana oil
field workers who would otherwise
be on relief; it has caused an In
vestment Of 100000 in new re-
fineries. giving not only permanent
employment to an increased num-
Der of refinery workers but provid-
ing extra employment during the
period of construction; and 1t is
giving employment to hundreds OF
Montana railroad men and truckers
who handle the doubled volume OF
intra-state freighting.
There is no worry about the
ability of drillers TO provide plenty
of oil. A new high gravity pool
west of Kelvin promises to rival the
great pools OF the east end Of the
field. The oil is 39.5 gravity (field
average. 29), which means high
gasoline content; contains no sui
phur (most lime oils carry sulphur)
and is paraffin base, making the
most valuable refinery stock found
in Northern Montana.
New Fields Are
Opening Up
on the north slope Of Cut Bank
field there has been revealed a new
producing horizon. known as the
Moulton sand, shallower than the
Cut Bank sand. The first produc-
ing well in this sand was COM
pleted by Santa Rita Oil company.
IL. B. O'NeiD Thought to be a dry
hole. it was shot with nitro glycer-
in and 1t became an 1,8OO-barrel
gusher. It has produced $8OO,OOO
worth Of oil thus far and is sun
flowing. It was not until three
other wells were completed that 1t
was determined definitely that a
new horizon had been opened up.
The most active spot in the state
TODAY is the so-called North Cut
Bank field where geologists have
mapped four structures in whlch
the Moulton sand is believed to be
present.
Elsewhere in Montana there is a
dearth of drilling in nine other pro-
ducing fields and in wildcat terri
tory. Not until the commercial
fields are running short of oil VIII
there be revival of validating.

Influence
Then came the disaster" of the
sudden and complete loss of the

covery of great oil field known
as Turner Valley in Canada. Iurn-

value for that output.
In addition, a large number OF
silver mines can now be opened
with definite assurance of silver
price stabilized for two years or
more. In mines where silver is
by product from lead, copper, zinc
and gold ores, as at Butte. the in
creased price means hut little un-
less the price OF other metals is
advanced. The camps such as
Neihart and Philipsburg will have
a tremendous impetus as result
of the stabilized price.
Carl ]. Trauerman, president OF
the Mining Association of Montana,
summarized the situation, saying:
"Most of the gold ores in Mon
tana contain amounts of silver. The
new price, together with the pres
ent attractive price for gold, should
stimulate present gold and silver
production and mean the starting
of many new ventures in the gold
and silver districts.
1.-THE first effect of the new
stabilized silver price will be the
starting of large developments by
present producers who have held
back their expansion programs,
waiting for the stabilized price.
THE second effect will be the start
Ang of new ventures. Undoubtedly
Montana silver production and that

ment burden lightened. Producers

they have been forced to join
hands. Out of the valley of the
shadow of the depression has come
large investments by producers in
refineries. either in the form of
crude oil price concessions or act
ual investment of cash and crude
in refineries. This has made pos
sible two out-of-state refineries, one
at Pocatello, Idaho, and the other at
Spokane. washington, which afford
market for a maximum OF 1000
barrels per day. Both were spon-
sored by Cut Bank producers. A
third refinery project is pending
calling for a plant in MinOt, N. D.,
to be likewise financed. The ques-
ton is whether enough crude is
available.
This question of crude supply
brings to light the fact that new
refineries or enlargement of pre-
sent refineries using Montana crude
have increased the demand beyond
the present supply Of crude, giving
Montana producers the virtual GER
tainty of an era of prosperity.

HARRIS COMPANY

FOR LATE FISH
Brennan Says Quality Of
Salmon Excellent Al
though Runs Weak

E. M. Brennan, General Manager
for P. E. Harris canneries in Alas
ka, flew to Juneau last night with
Marine Always pilot John Amund-
sen, reporting below normal pack
ing at the Hawk Inlet plant.
Brennan, a guest at the Baranof,
said Hawk Inlet's pack is about
35 per cent below normal this year,
but it is hoped that the late run
of fish expected in Chatham Straits
will raise the pack considerably.
Confirming other reports, Bren-
nan said, however, that an excellent
quality of fish is being taken this
year, mad in general, running larg-
er as well.
Brennan expects to visit briefly
in Juneau before sailing south.
