GAS" SALES IN
MONTANA GAIN
SEVEN PER CENT

Montana gasoline sales reached
an all-time high in Montana dur
ing the month of May. while Mon
tana refiners set all-time highs in
volume OF manufacture. The May
figures have just been completed
from the records OF the State Board
Of Equalization and while June
figures will not be available until
after July 90, there is every indica-
ton that the June gasoline con-
sumption will set another all-time
high mark. although production OF
gasoline will be less in June, owing
to the spring shutdown of Inter
national Refining company plant at
Sunburst.
May gasoline sales totaled 49,
666,1S9 gallons, including $685.
933 gallons of Montana-made gaso-
line and 3.712,256 gallons OF I'm
ported gasoline. The states exports
OF gasoline likewise hit a new high
with a total of 6.211,56S GALLONS
plus 1926 gallons OF imported gas
oline that was re-exported.
Gasoline sales in the first five
months of 1910 showed a gain of Z
per cent over the record-breaking
sales OF the similar period in 1899.
Sales of products from Montana re-
fineries increased 16 per cent ov-
er 1889 in he five-month period
and sales of imported gasoline
showed a decline.

EAST SLOPE
Of KEuIHHAS
GOOD WELLS

Slight showings of oil in the tor
of the Madison lime were convered
into 5O-barrel oil wells in Kelvin
Sunburst field this week as a re-
suit of the action of hydrochloriC
acid applied to the formation, both
wells being located on the East
slope Of the field.
Imperial Craig-Martin No. 4, in
center NWA SEA 1S-35-1W, is
making between SO and so barrels
per day following acidization, after
having found the contact at 1888
feet. 1t is making considerable
water with the oil, having had more
fluid than any other well in the
pool, but this condition is not
frowned upon by East side opera
tors who prefer adequate fluid to
wells that pump off quickly.
A second well on the east slope
is Enfield-ZachOr No. 2, CSL NW.H
NWA 20-35-1W, which is likewise
a 50barrel we'll. It had contact
at 1887 to 1896 and was treated
with 1000 gallons of acid and has
been making between 40 and so
barrels during the past week. Both
the zachor and the Martin wells are
in the north extension of the great
Fulton-Rice pool, in an area that
was considered condemned before
the advent of the science of aci-
dization.
The west slope of the Kelvin
field has been claiming the at
tention of the industry for
several weeks but the past
week saw no important deveI-
opment in the west end. The
field was generally quiet, partly 1.
on account of the Fourth of

Testing operations continue at the
test well of American Oil Incor-
porated on Broadyiew dome, near
Billings, where oil was encountered
in what is believed to be the top
of the Devonian formation at 5129
feet.
The well was swabbed for sew
eral days and on June 80 the crew
started to bail the well. The bailer
showed 800 feet of oil had collect
ed the hole in the 40 hours it had
been shut down. The hole was
bailed down and allowed to stand
10 hours in which time the oil rose
$50 feet in the hole. The oil Is
similar to the earlier samples that

greener in color, with a strong
odor of kerosene.

REFINERY At

With increased capacity and ia
cilIties for making diesel oil. the
6.5OO-barrel plant OF International
Refining company at Sunburst is
again on stream after shutdown
which lost most OF the month OF
June. The plant had been running
100000 barrels per month before
the shutdown and the installation
of new heaters and other new
equipment Is expected to boost the
throughput to 100000 barrels per
month or better.
The June shutdown caused re-
finery storage to fill up rapidly.

1t Is believed that with the plant
in full operation during July, the
taking of the full capacity OF In
ternational Refinery connections
will resume during the month OF
August. The Texas company is pro-
ducing $4,000 barrels per month In
Cut Bank field, leaving approx
mately 100000 barrels per month

ing the summer months and up to
at least October /.

sumption after May IS of several
hundred idle wells. Work of clean

been no important competitions in

In the allied armor remains to be
seen. That there are such de-
f1ciencies is evident from the sue
cess which Mr.. Churchill admitted
the Germans had scored with their
planes and armored divisions.
The battle is not for France alone,
but for the soil OF Britain, too, and
Mr.. Churchill took pains to impress
his fellow Britons with the danger
that is in store for them once the
lines In France are stabilized. Then,
he said, it will be Britain's turn to
share with the men in the front
lines the tortures of combat as Ger
many turns the full force Of her air
fleet against the British Isles.
His broadcast was a mighty call
to the British people to prepare tor
the horrors Nazi Germany has in
store for them, horrors which she
has already loosed against the Poles,
Norwegians, the Dutch and the
Belgians. HIS speech was not a
speech of reinsurance that all is
well in France, but one of conf
dence that the British will rise to
the magnitude Of their task.

OF all time It cost the allies nearly
a half million men and forced them to

proceed to wipe out the troocs in the
