LONDON. Aug. 12.-Nazi air
planes roared again over England
last night and this morning and
spread untold havoc and destruc-
lion. although TIE true picture
of the attacks and the manner in
which the British are absorbing
the shocks will probably not be
known for a long time.
Propaganda agencies act to
cloud the facts of the air battles.
both sides presenting stories at
great variance from each other.
In view of that situation, then,
neutral observers are inclined to
strike an even balance between
both reports, yet there IS no fair
precedenc to adopt even that
procedure.
NaZi claims conferred on de-
struction of over so British planes
in the fighting since yesterday,
with admission of Is planes of
Germany lost IN the attacks
Characteristically, the British
claims reverse the figures almost
exactly.
One German dispatch stated
that forty Stukas concentrated
on the port of Portsmouth and
destroyed shipping in the harbOr
and much dock construction. The
dispatch stated that not one sin
gle British plane appeared in de-
Tense operations.
British war office declined TO
mention specific battles, con-
tenting Itself with a blanket an
nOuncement to the effect that
all raids are meeting with the
StiffeSt kind of resistance with at
tendant good reports of defense
successes.
There IS u feeling here that the
attacks now going on are not to
be considered as the real German
blitzkrieg. Advice from Germany
leans that way. also, and local
observers feel that the flights
and attacks are being carried out
merely for the purpose of de-
termining the extent of British
defense ornaments. German dis
patches back that presumption
when it was stated that Eng
land is yet TO feel the full force
of Germany's mastery of the
air..
Additional Nazi adviceS told OF
successful raids conducted all
over England. with a number of
balloon barrages destroyed over
east coast areas.
Territory covered by the Ger
mans was extended to northern
Ireland. bringing the war for the
first time to the Irish.
While the air-battleS. consider
ed the largest of the war to date,
demanded first position in Eu-
ropes news. the action in Africa
was also of importance. There,
it is learned, the British are tax
ing up strong positions in Samo-
liland to stop the Italian drives
toward Egypt.
1t is generally felt that if pres
ent hillside positions are not
held. the British may as well
give up any thoughts of success
fully defending Samoliland.

An interesting fact is the pres
ence of the sand. A well drilled by
the Barmac oil company northeast

was believed that the ancient shore
line did not pass this way. Sever

WAGNER HAS
PRODUCER on
NEWLEASE

What appears to be an excellent
producer is drilling into the Cut
Bank sand in the Big Bend pool of
Cut Bank field today, Nose Wagner
and associates of Cut Bank having
struck oil at 1910 feet on their
newly acquired BIackfeet Indian
tribal lease in the northeast corner
of Section 13-32-6W. Wagner
bought this lease at the last tribal
lease sale, paying the highest price
bid in the auction and he is the
first to complete a producer on
any of the new leases. This tract
adjoins his first tribal lease ON the
south. It is his second producer.
The top of the upper Cut Bank
sand was at 1874 and he encoun-
tered the first showing of oil at
1898. He Immediately ran casing
and oil stood 1900 feet in the hole
by the time he reached a depth Of
2910 feet, still drilling in sand.

kelvin GROUP
ASKS LARGER
CRUDE MART

With market problems of Cut
Bank field solved for some time
to come. Kelvin operators this week
began seriously considering adop-
ton of a plan of cooperative effort.
A meeting was held at Shelby, said
to be composed almost exclusively
of producers with International Re-
filming company connections. to
make an effort to increase the
market.
International recently re-allOcat-
ed the production of its connections
in the Kelvin field, based on the
100 percent runs of the month of
June. Whereas it had formerly been
taking so per cent of the potential,
the new rate of purchases allowed
greater runs by producers who had
heretofore been allowed too small
a share of the refinery require
ments. Some of the larger compan-
les, it was found, had been har-
dest hit by the former production
rate. 1t is understood that Texas
Pacific and Ohio Oil company were
allowed larger runs than before,
while The Texas company runs were
curtailed, among others. One opera
tors runs were cut 1900 barrels
per month, it having been found
that instead of running so per cent
he had been running 80 per cent of
his potential.
1t is understood that whereas it
has been the policy of international
to take a minimum of one tank per
month from operators with several
small stripper wells, the new policy
will be to take two tanks from such
leases. This does not apply to one
we'll properties, however.
While it is believed to be the pol
icy of The Texas company 10 con-
serve bottom hole pressure and to
prolong the life of the Kelvin field |
by producing wells at less than ca
pacity, it is expected that the fu-
ture will bring increased allOwables |
as present runs from Cut Bank and |
Kelvin are not adequate to care for |
normal demands The International |
plant ran 10000 barrels in August
which was less than in earlier
months of the year, owing to shut
down time for overhaul and re-
pairs. Failure of the big hot oil
pump, for the first time, recently
forced the use of the standby
steam pump, which has considerably
less capacity. All this has resulted
in curtailment of runs and an ac-
emulation of storage oil at the
plant.
Cut Bank now supplies 10000
barrels per month to the Interna-
tional and the additional 10000
runs in August were taken from
average of 1000 bar
rels per day. Since other buyers
take approximately 1000 barrels
per day this meant a demand of
about 5000 barrels per day from

DRILL. STEM FISHES

When driIler reports that he
Jumped PIN and has fish

broken off a drilling bit In the
hole, the break occurring at the
joint where the bit screws into
the drill stem. Ordinarily the
pin, or threaded portion of the
bit, stays in the box, the cOrre-
spending threaded part of the

Texas company drilling the State

they had lost the bit, but their
establishment was greater when
they found the pin UPSIDE

they had continued to run on

the pin came out and in some
manner appended as IL lodged on

ing blows of the heavy stem and
jars.

tions. Illinois production started on
the down grade from a peak Of
51S.222 barrels a day on the 29th
of June.
1t is predicted by some authori-
ties that the drop from the peak
within another few months may be
sensational, barring. OF course, dis
covery and development OF new
areas. Some well informed oil men,
In fact, do not believe that Illi-

new PIPE CAN
BE DRILLED UP

Cooperative metallurgical re-
search by steel manufacturers and
oil men recently has developed alloy
piping which will meet normal SER
vice requirements as casing for
oil wells, but which also can
easily be cut or drilled out by the
oil operator whenever he wishes af-
ter it has been set in the well
These drillable alloys meet an
important need of oil men in Ger
tain oil fields, particularly where
more than one level or horizon of
underground oil-producing sand is
found in the same field. The driller
can close off some Of the producing
formations by placing Irritable pipe
opposite them, and the wells then
are produced from one sand at a
time, simply by drilling out the
Irritable pipe when desired. Some
times the wells are completely cas-
ed and then all of the formations
opened at once.
In the Illinois Basin, 1t is report
ed, this method of completing wells
has been used In IS different pools,
where it has made possible the con-
troll of production from separate
strata, and the successive exploit
tation of these different strata be-
cause of differences in pressure and
In the character of the oil. In
other wells production would not be
practicable from one
sand, but ds feasible when more
than one sand can be produced at
the same time. AS many as four
different sands have been opened
by this method in one Illinois well.
