ture, the oil disappears from the Cut
Bank sand and water appears. But
oil then appears in the Sunburst sand:
thus the Sunburst sand producers in
the Darling pool of North Cut Bank.
Then it would appear that as drilling
proceeds down structure, oil and gas
disappear in the Sunburst sand and
water appears in the base of the sand.
Then oil and gas appear in the Moul-
ton sand. The Moulton sand area has
not been explored, let alone outlined.
There IS no way of determining the
presence Of oil and /or gas in the
Moulton sand except by drilling.
The fact that the fields greatest
oil well is producing from the Moul-
ton or upper Sunburst sand suggests
that there is likely some MORE oil in
this sand--somewhere, although there
are only eight or nine Moulton sand
oil wells thus far. There is gas, also,
in the Moulton sand in greater volume
than found in any other horizon in
the state of Montana.
The great Rigney gasser and the
Lander flowing well suggest to us the
possibility that one Of these days
someone is going to find the juncture
OF the column of oil and this gas
flow and at that time there will likely
come into existence the states s great
est oil well. Certainly if the Lander
No. had any part of this 8O,OOO,OOO-
foot gas flow, it would have been the
states most spectacular producer.
Will such a well ever be found2
If there is that possibility where
will it likely be foundP Will it be
on the east side, south side or north
side of present production?
If there is anything to be concluded
regarding the rising level of oil pro-
duction in the formations down struc-
ture, is it possible or likely that the
same condition found on the flanks
to the north will be determined by
drilling on the flanks to the westG
We would like to know the answers
to these questions because correct
answers would make it possible to
make tremendous fortune.
It is perhaps a guessing game.
Again, it is perhaps a problem for a
student. In the final analysis it is
q problem for the hard nose of
drill.
Someone is going to figure it out and
to that someone-or several persons
will possibly go some tremendous for
tunes. Certainly there has been no
other oil field in Montana with a
sandstone carrying oil and gas that
has as great promise as the Sunburst
sand Tor call If MouIton and Sunbrre+
sands) which is found on parts of the
north slope of Cut Bank oil and gas
field.

MORE THAN LIP SERVICE

Nearly $l,O0O,OOO q day is paid by
the railroads in taxes for mainte-
nance of government in this country.
And upwards of 500 of that daily
amount goes toward support of To-
cal and state governments. In 1898,
taxes paid to the latter government
units by the railroads totaled over
$264 900, 900 of the S343,000,00O tax
bill paid to all branches of govern
ment. Out of each dollar of railroad
net earnings. i0.1i cents was taken
by taxes last year. the highest ratio
for any year since 1920.
There is too little public rcaliza-
tiOn of the influence OF private in
dustry's tax payments in maintain
