We look for all three but just when
either will take place, none knows.
We look for further exploration of
Cut Bank field, North, South and West
We look for further exploration of
Kelvin field, particularly on the East
slope.
We look for deeper drilling in East
Kelvin field-possibly to the Turner Val
ley horizon, which can be reached at a
lesser depth than Cut Bank wells.In one
deep well in the East side, drilled before
the days of acidization, the Turner Val
ley horizon, near the base of the Madison
lime. was found at 1900 feet, with a
thicker saturated section than is found
in present horizons at the top OF the lime.
That offers inducement to wildcatters,
with little risk.
We know Of at least four wildcat
structures that are going to be tested,

growing Montana market.

Carroll as the nurse, and brother
to the hero, was to bandage up the

out the curls and pushed her hair

cotton dress that was a little too
long and finished it off with cotton
stockings and the plainest tan shoes
I could find.

the call. Many Of them looked like
