land board with the Glacier Pro-
duction company.
Mrs. Nanita B. Sherlock, com
missioner, said the agreement ap-
proved included operation on 2,120
acres of Glacier county land in
which the state will share 640-2, 120
of oil and gas produced.
The state has entered into SINH
lar agreements with other firms
in the past.
Also approved were two oil and
gas leases in ToOle county, issued
to Agen and Goeddertz of Kelvin
to operate on 800 acres, and A.
B. Woodahl of Great Falls for GAO
acres. Operators will pay the state
a rental of rs cents an acre per
year as well as 121a per cent roy
atty on oil and gas produced.
Mrs. Sherlock announced granting
of a mining lease to K w. Leavitt
and E. A. Lynn of Norris on 40
acres of Madison county land for
an annual S25 rental plus per
cent royalty.

NO OIL EXHAUSTION

Petroleum biologists and engin-
GERS have found and developed r.
16O.066, 900 barrels of new, proved
oil reserves in the last five years
alone. the recent report of the
American Petroleum Institutes Com
mittee on Petroleum Reserves re-
vealed These new reserves, added
in the five years from 1885 through
1899. equal the total production Of
oil in the United States in the first
70 years of the oil industry.
Averaging nearly 2.5OO,OOO.OO0
barrels a year, the new reserves in
this period exceeded production by
more than 100 per cent. The total
net increase, after deducting the
5.854,O54,0OO barrels Of oil pro-
duced in the same period, amounted
to 6,306, 100000 barrels. and raised
the estimate of total proved re-
serves to new high record of
1S.483, 100000 barrels on January
], 1910. Total proved reserve in
ventory on January l, 1885, was
600 barrels.

SPRING BRINGS
WILDCATS OUT

The pulse of spring is beginning
to put new life into alternating
wildcat oil wells scattered over Mon
tana. Three and possibly four wild
cats are due to resume in Billings
Red Lodge district and one and
possibly two new wildcats are
rumored. In northern Montana
four wildcat wells are projected. 1t
is understood that Whitehall Oil
syndicate is preparing to resume
its test in the northeast corner of
the state, near Whitehall Ignac
Cesnik, who has been working for
20 years to get an adequate oil
test in this region, is said to have
arranged a contract for the COM
pletion of the well, which stands
at 1880 feet with another 1000
feet to go. Two wells have been
previously drilled, one of which
had a considerable pocket of gas,
but none has been drilled deep
enough to make complete test.

SCANDINAVIAN WAR
MAY HASTEN MINING
MONTANA IRON ORES

Montana proponents of a steel
mill to develop the Running Wolf
iron range near Stanford, in Judith
Basin county. found encouragement
this week in the European war de-
velopments which will doubtless
terminate for some time the ship
ment of Scandinavian iron ores to
the United States.
H. c. Ecklund Of Great Falls
points to U. S. B. M. statistics show
ing that Norway imported 252,657
tons of iron ore into the United
States in 1897 and 1885 tons in
1898: Sweden shipped 1928 tons
in 1897 and 213,616 tons in 1898
ad the 1899 figures are even high
er. Ecklund states.
The Stanford iron ores are com
parable with the Swedish product
and in the absence of Scandinavian
ores for high grade steel, the Mon
tana deposits may have FASTENED
development, he believes.

EYKOMETER MEASURES
DRILLING MUD VALUE

Measurement of some character
istics of oil-well drilling muds, vi
tally important to the successful
drilling of todays deep wells, may
be made more exact by the use Of
a new device, the Eykometer, in
vented by A. George Stern, a U. S.
Bureau of Mines engineer. and
described in a recent bulletin by the
Bureau.
Among other important functions,
drilling muds must plaster the sides
of the bore hole to prevent walls
caving; prevent loss of drilling
fluid by seepage; carry sand and
drill cuttings out OF the hole, and
hold them in suspension until they
can be allowed to settle out All
of these depend on the gel pro-
perty, hence its measurement is i'm
portant to insure dependable muds.
Heretofore exact determination
of gel" characteristics has been
useful method of measurement.
it is believed. the report says. that
the Eykometer offers a useful prob
lem, but it is believed the report
says. that the Eykometer offers a
useful method of measurement.
Copies of the report, r. l. 3495,
may be obtained from the Bureau
of Mines, Washington, D. c., with
out charge.

ARE MAJORS TO BLAME

An advantage of 20 cents per
5arrel, due to difference in haulage,
is held by Illinois crude over Mid
continent crude, thus the desire of
major operators to use Illinois crude
and their reticence to have any
state regulation. Three, possibly
four, major companies are respon-
sible for excessive production, not
ably from the Devonian formation.
Two major companies are respon-
sible for the excessive imports of
petroleum products from foreign
countries. Most of the record
breaking gasoline storage is held by
a few major companies. The
figure is now 1OO,60O.O0O Dbl. the
highest in history by 100000 obi.

METAL PRICES UP

NEW YORK-Leading producers,
Wednesday lifted the price of lead
1/1O of a cent from the years
loves price to a basis of $40 to
SIS cents a pound.
The advance in lead was another
fact of strengthening prices in nom
ferrous metals which have coin
cided with intensification of Euro
pean warfare. The custom smelter
price of copper was boosted u
cent to liz cents yesterday.
The bid price for No. l scrap
copper was advanced Is cent a
pound to rs cents, roughly
equivalent to IL SIS cents for re-
fined metal.

Joseph Schulein of Portland, Ore,
has applied for patents on his re-
Gently announced process for the
electrochemical reduction of chrom-
lite ores. A graduate of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin, Schuleln was
formerly employed by the Chrom-
ium Company of America. For al
most a year he has been a special
student at the Oregon State College
in the department of engineering,
where he worked out his process.
This new method is stated to be
applicable to the black beach sands,
long known to contain gold, plati-
mum, and chromite, and to the low
grade chrome ores which hitherto
have not been considered TO be OF
commercial value. A smaH-scale
plant for commercial production is
under consideration and will be To-
Gated at Portland. The Schulein
method is reported to give 1898
per cent pure product, while ordin-
airy furnace methods now in use
give SO per cent pure product
and at greater cost
Chromate Salt Methods
A study of methods for produc-
ing chromate salts from domestic
ores has been made by H. A. Doer-
ner. engineer in charge of the Pull
man unit. metallurgical division OF
the bureau of mines. at Pullman,
Washington. and others. At pre-
sent production of chrome chemicals
is derived from imported ores and
mr. cI n nraH
suitable for the manufacture Of
chromates, there has been some
doubt regarding the feasibility OF
using domestic ores for that pur-
pose. The investigation was made
to study methods by which chro-
mates and dictionaries can be pro-
duced from domestic ores and to
estimate the economic possibilities
Of the methods studied. Chro-
mates are produced now by only a
few companies, and the technical
details of the methods employed
are not revealed. Therefore, pre-
sent practice in the treatment of
foreign ores could not be used as
a guide in this work.
The investigation was made pos
SIDE Dy d cooperative diIdn5SLlCHL
between the state electrometallur-
gical laboratories and the United
States Chrome Mines, Inc, and was
financed largely by contributions
from A. II. Wild president of the
United States Chrome Mines, Inc.
The work was directed by the metal
lurgical division of the Bureau of
Mines. The pamphlet covering
these studies. and known as Bulle-
tin V, is priced at 35 cents
