PIPELINE TO
SPOKANE MAY
BE REALITY

Spokane reports regarding a
proposed oil pipeline from Cut
Bank to Spokane, at first secuted
by Montana producers, took a more
serious aspect this week when 1t
was learned that a reconnaissance
survey is being made with apparent
serious intent to go ahead.
The survey is being made by
william Brothers. pipeline con-
struction firm OF Tulsa. Oklahoma,
and Dallas. Texas. which firm is
also submitting estimates.
I'VE are already of the opinion
that the terrain between here and
Cut Bank makes a pipe line prac-
ticabie," said d. F. Gerttenberger,
general manaker OF the Spokane
refinery, In an interview with the
Spokane Chronicle.
The article continues:
Despite the recent cut in crude
oil freight rates between Cut Bank
and Spokane, rates are too high.
Our annual crude oil freight bill,
when the plant Is operating at its
capacity of 1900 barrels a day,
will be s750.000 a year.
Capacity of Line
'If the cost OF the pipe line, as
shown by the survey, is not too
great. we Will proceed with con-
struction. It would have a capacity
of 5000 to 5000 barrels per day and
would be six inches In diameter.
Two booster plants to keep up
pressure in the line probably
would have to be built.
output OF the refinery is gain
ing every month. Our September
output was nearly 100000 gal
Ions"
Mr.. Gerstenberger's announce
ment revived speculation among
local oil and fuel men as to the
natural gas line from
the Cut Bank gas fields to Spokane.
Refinery officials have been known
10 have considered combining their
line with a gas line OPP
by some firm.
There was incorporated at Hele-
ma last spring a company whose
purpose was the construction OF a
natural gas line from Cut Bank to
Spokane.

CRUDE below
WATER TEST IS
Due IN TODAY

One of the first wells to be drill
ed into oil below the Madison lime
water table in Kevin-Sunburst field
is being drilled in today on the
Beardslee-Swears No. 10 well, c
SWA NWA 9-35-2W. This well
had water at the contact, at 1701-
1905, which ordinarily writes Fin
is' for a Kelvin driller. A. Beardslee
borrowed a cable tool core barrel
and proceeded to core into the next
''break". He drilled the well to
1928 feet, getting 10 feet of sat-
urated lime. The fluid level in the
hole increased from $50 feet to
nearly $50 feet inasmuch as the
Madison water usually comes up on
ly 800 to 400 feet, it is believed
that considerable oil is shown in
the break"
The casing was UNDETERMINED
and cemented at ITO feet and the
plug is being drilled out today. 1t
will be acidized with 500 gallons Of
hydrochloric acid and If CONNER
cial, this procedure is expected to
cause many other operators to drill
below the Madison water.
Deeper drilling in this area is
inspired by the success of the
Black Label OIL Company which
drilled a dry hole, its State No. 8,
down to a second horizon in the
Madison lime and through use of
acid brought in a well that made
~ barrels in IL hours and is rated
as a SO to so barrel well in set
tied production. II is now shut in
for lack of storage No well in this
area will be abandoned in the fu-
ture until the Black Label horizon
Is tested, operators say.

CUT BANK TREBLES ITS
POPULATION IN FIVE YEARS

CUT BANK-More than $500, 600

in Cut Bank during the last five
years.
Those who have taken a moment
to figure estimates of home build

900 figure is conservative for 1t
covers the building OF nearly 200
homes, ranging up from several
thousand dollars to those costing in

While many communities look
back with pride upon 10, 20 or 80
years of progress, Cut Bank can
turn the pages but three to five
years and find that It has prac-

new POOL IS
ESTABLISHED
At SUNBURS7

Showing an initial production of
six barrels per hour, the Imperial
Craig-Gauss No. l well in east
Kevin-Sunburst field this week
established itself as one OF the best
wells of the year.
This is the well that had 1850
feet of oil in the hole before aci-
dization last week. Treated with
acid, 1t began pumping and flowing,
making a solid two-inch stream of
oil that filled all of the storage on
the lease. The well was shut down
for lack of storage as it is located
a half mile from the nearest pipe
line.
Located in a so-called dry hole
area, the new well apparently opens
up a new pool north of the great
Fulton-Rice pool of East Sunburst,
the most prolific and profitable
pool in North Montana. The near
est producer on the south is the
Imperial-Craig-Martin No. 1 and
the nearest well on the northeast,
three quarters Of a mile distant, is
the Occur d'Alene syndicate-Stewart
No. 1 which is a small pumper.
Since wells north and east of the
Gauss No. showed oil and little
or no water, it is believed that aci-
dization will develop an important
pool. Imperial-Craig company has
$40 acres in an ''L"-shaped block
including the M Section 1S-35-1W
and the VIZ 7-35-1W The ada
cent 800 acres, the E1z 7-35-1W,
belongs to ]. H. Hamilton of
Great Fall. The nearby NWA Sec
ton II belongs to Texas-Pacific
Coal & Oil company, this being the
well site tract of the Frazer-Rice
deep test, which had oil in the De-
vanian at 1920 feet, where the hole
was lost.
The new Gauss producer will be
closed in for several days as e. L. |
