PRODUCTION
LAG BEHIND
OIL MARKET

Montana oil production showed
slight decline in the month of
lSeptember, according to the month
ly statistics of the Oil Conserva-
ton board, dropping off 21,S19
barrels from the August figure and
also slightly lower than the July
figure.
Meantime, refinery runs contin-
ued at the same record rate as in
August and this month exports pull
ed 1892 barrels of oil from stor-
age during September, reflecting a
consumption of more than 1000
barrels per day greater than pro-
duction.
Total production and market by
months has been as follows:
Production Market
July 511,276 529, APT
Aug. 530,100 $50, 544
Sept. 5O8.2S1 543,673
These figures indicate that runs
in the three-month period have been
S2,937 barrels less than market de-
mand However, the indicated stor-
age oil is 1,27O.S42 barrels of
which half is held by transport
CTS anu a ny IGAluGISs 0luC0
refiners used 467,767 barrels of
crude in September the storage on
Sept. 81 was about a 15-day sup
ply More than half the crude held
by transporters is in Cut Bank
field, totaling 356,167 barrels. Cut
Bank storage was cut down $4,000
barrels. Pondera storage has also
begun to show a decline after re-
naming static for several years.
The gain in Kelvin storage is said
to be due to the fact that refineries
have been running on Cut Bank
crude during the gasoline season.
Kelvin oil will be run when there is
greater demand for fuel oil. Evil
ience of this is found in the fact
that refiners' storage in Cut Bank
dropped from 242,299 barrels to
1877, 1877 barrels in September.
Montana oil production averaged
1898 barrels per day during
Montana refineries using crude
from nearby Wyoming fields re-
lined 253,004 barrels of crude as
with 256,579 barrels in
August. Imports in September
S.01S barrels per day.
Exports from Montana averaged
2,547 barrels per day. chiefly to
and Idaho.

WATER WELL
AT CUT BANK
IS 4 SHOCK

A water we'll in the high contours
of Cut Bank oil field this week in
PRODUCED a new novelty in Mon
tana's greatest sand field, Glacier
Production company having found
water in the Cut Bank sand in the
South Cut Bank area at a struc-
tural elevation which might be ex-
pected to give gas wells.
The well is Glacier Production

made 1879 barrels OF water and %
barrels OF OIL. coming from the
basal Cut Bank sand at 5000 to

Three hundred feet lower struc-
turally. to the west and southwest,
oil wells are producing from the
Cut Bank sand. with no showing
Of water. The stott well IL on the
335O-foot contour and there are
producing wells in the nearby Big
Bend pool on the 3050-foot contour
as mapped by the United States
Geological Survey The theory OF
geology is that the water should
be below the oil and above the oil
should be gas, which theory Is re-
versed in the Stott we'll
The finding OF water in the Cut
Bank sand is a rarity in this field,
some water was encoun-
tered in wells north OF the South
Cut Bank discovery we'll II was
believed to be trapped water in a
localized area. The Stott we'll gives

MAKING GOOD
IN ILLINOIS

J. NJ. Thomas. who once owned
most OF South Cut Bank oil field
but who had to let It go because
he couldn't convince enough capital
to drill it. is back in Montana from
Illinois where he has been operating
since the Illinois revival in 1885.
Opportunities for the little fellow"
in Illinois have been reduced to nil
by the fact that the major COM
panies have completely covered the
probable producing area with geo.
physical surveys and have leased
up practically all the acreage.
ABOUT the only way the little
fellows got in was through pur-
chase Of roadway easements" he
relates. Lou Lilly, formerly of
Kelvin, was one of those who Sc
cured a roadway running through
leases Of The Texas company. He
started drilling and got oil and
then cold out for s65,000. He Sc
cured another roadway in an Ohio
Oil company block but is now shut

WELL NEAR
old GUSHER
is ASSURED

Another we'll is to be drilled in
the vicinity of the historic Boyce
gusher In North Kevin-Sunburst
field, by Charles Dunstal and as
sociates. Drilling contract has
been given, It is understood, to
Bob Engleking.
The Boyce we'll, drilled by Sun
burst Oil & Refining Co. in the
early days OF the field, struck a
flow OF oil and gas at the Ellis
Madison contact. The well flowed
with terrific force and as there was
no control head within many miles,
1t flowed all night. BY morning
It was making all water, with only
a showing of oil. but It continued
to flow by heads and was dubbed
old faithful" Ohio Oil company
purchased the well as a water sup
ply for the north end of the field
and 1t was produced during the
drouth years It never again show
ed any water.
In the excitement following the
strike, numerous leases sold for
large sums, but no other well was
ever drilled in the vicinity. The
closest well was nearly a mile
southwest. A recent contour map
prepared by the U. s. G.. S. shows
a local "high" in the district, the
Boyce well. in SWA SWH 1886
wv, being on the north flank of
the nose" The exact location Of
the new well has not been announc-
ed but It is said to be spotted about
two or three locations south OF the
"gusher." on the Boyce farm.
Seattle people are said to be in
with Dunstal in the well
now starting.

TExACO SELLS
CANADA PLANTS
TO FRONTENAC

LETHBRIDGE-The agreement
to purchase interests of the Texas
Co. of Canada, announced by the
McColl-Frontenac Oil CO. of Mon
treal, caused no little speculation
in Alberta oil circles. McColI-
Frontenac is a younger but energetic
Canadian oil company with a large
retail distribution, especially in
eastern Canada.
Texaco has been in Alberta for
many years and has a large network
of warehouses and bulk and service
stations. Oil for its stations Is
brought from Montana and 1t Is a
matter of conjecture now as to
what McColl-Frontenac will do.
There is some suggestion that 1t
may go out after Canadian produc-
ton via the drilling route but there
is no confirmation of this.

The leases continue northward
from township "a north, ranges 1
and 2 east, continuing into town
ship S5 north, with a few leases
in township So north, ranges 1 and
2 east. which area is not covered
nv either of the u. S. G. S. maps
recently issued. None OF the leases
are on the Willshaw Flats antici-
nal noses, discovery of which was
recently announced by the Survey.
Farmers in the district know
little regarding the people repre-
sented nv Roe. They were told
that oil is expected on the east
slope of the field, just as it was
found on the west slope, in Cut
Bank area. They were given to
Relieve that there is possibility OF
the presence of Cut Bank sand
carrying oil and gas, in the dis
trict with lensing due to early
crataceous erosion furnishing west
closure for such pools.

BUSINESS is BETTER

How's business?
Let the Federal Reserve Bank
OF Minneapolis reply, quoting its
Monthly Review of October 2S,
1899, reply.
Business volume in the ninth
federal reserve district, (including
Montana, increased sharply in Sep
TENDER. Iron ore shipments were
largest in 10 years except during
1897 season. Loans to customers
rose each week and on October Is
were highest in years. Deposits
at country member banks rose to
highest level since 1881 and at
city banks set an all time high.
Farm income rose to the highest

Suggestion of the development
of a major oil refining terminus
in the Pacific northwest at Spo-
kane, with all the Industrial de-
velopment that usually has been
found to follow such an improve
ment, is had in the investigation
into the feasibility of the construc-
ton of a pipe line from the Cut
Bank field in Montana to the Hill
yard plant of Inland Empire Rein
cry. Inc.
Reasonable Project"
Completion of a preliminary sur
vey for a pipe line from the field
indicates sit is a reasonable pro-
ject," observed General Manager
D. F. GerstenbergeF of the refin-
erv. He estimated the cost at from
s2.5OO,0OO to $4,000, 900.
''The survey shows the cost to
fall in line with those projects in
the midcontinent field of compare
BILE distance and terrain" added
Lou Miller, representative Of
Williams Brothers, Tulsa, Okla,
who came here to make the survey,
was greatly impressed with the
OF the pipe line. This
firm is one Of the biggest pipe line
contracting concerns in the oil bus
mess, and the engineering data Will
be shortly worked out by 1t, with
recommendations"
Proposed Route
The distance involved Is 315
miles for a pipe line OF six inches
to be under cover, with pumping
stations along the line to assist the
of the oil. The possible
route is expected generally to fol-
low the course Of the Great Nor
thern railway, the long prairie
stretches in northern Montana af-
fording economical construction. It
would be 81 miles shorter to Spo-
kane than the rail distance.
