DRILLING PROGRAM
IN BAKER GAS AREA

Montana-Dakota Utilities company
is starting a considerable drilling
program to build up it's open flow
of gas in both Baker-Glendive and
in Bowdoin gas fields.
Four wells have been started in
Baker-Glendive, as follows:
Montana-Dakota Utilities No. 14O,
Sc NV NEA 24-9N-5SE.
Montana-Dakota Utilities No. 141,
Sc NV n NEH 24-SN-59E.
Montana-Dakota Utilities No. 142,
NE SWA SW1l 33-7N-6OE.
Montana-Dakota Utilities No. 143,
Sc NV u NEA 4-6N-60E.
The company will shortly award
contract for the Homie line from
Bowdoin dome to connect with the
Glendive line. which is the main
system extending into the Dakotas.
The new main will be S-inch, with
about miles of 3-in. and 4-in.
sizes for distributing systems in in
termediate towns. Pipe will be
manufactured by Youngston Steel
& Tube Co., and will be electric
welded with 7/32-in wall thick
ness; 400 Dresser couplings will
be used as joints.

BUY MIDWAY LEASE

Revival of interest in the Midway
district, between the Kelvin pool
and the Cut Bank gas field, was
indicted at the state land board
sale of oil leases this week at
Helena where Lund & Engleking of
Kelvin. bid in 500 acres described as
EkE15, SW NEA and NV "A :
SEA- "a and S 1sSWA S5-35N-4W.
This is west of the Lund well in
center sem W14 35, recently
plugged and abandoned when a
flow of water could not be shut off.
AT the same sale, w. d. Clark
of Havre bid in 800 acres of state
land in the vicinity of Signal Butte
test, to be drilled by w. M. Han
lon. The land is described as the
E1a Section 24-37N-14E.

of Kevin-Sunburst. completed before the
discovery of oil at Kelvin, showed two
principal faults crossing the field. One
of these was named the Kelvin fault and
the other the Emmons fault, in honor
of the pioneer geologist Few other
biologists agreed on the fault theory
The Kalispell-Kevin group followed En-
mons judgment and made millions of
dollars, which came chiefly from over
riding royalties retained on leases which
Emmons took for the Kalispell group.
Nineteen years after the map was
drawn we dug out the original fault
map" and laid it down on a present-day
development map of the Kevin-Sunburst
field.
WE FIND THAT MORE THAN
EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE OIL PRO
DUCED IN THIS FIELD HAS BEEN
ALONG THE FAULTS MAPPED BY
JAMESON & HOWARD. We recall
that Major Howard stated that there was
third fault in the vicinity of the Baker
Howling pool which fact was developed
to his satisfaction by the records of
wells drilled. That fault line does not
appear on the original map Instead,
Howard showed a local 'fhigh' at the
point where he later said that a fault
exists. That point is the location of the
Sunburst discovery pool, producing from
the SunDurst sand and the Baker-Howl-
ing pool offsetting on the south, which
yields its oil from the top of the Madi-
son lime.
Many can find no evidence of this
faulting and therefore deny it, But the
fact remains that the greatest pools in
the field are along these lines. Had the
first well in the great Fulton-Rice pool
been spotted with the aid of the jamie
son Howard map, that firm of geolo-
gists would have rated with Colonel
Fohs OF Mexia fame. At it was, the
Kelvin fault was not consideration In
the first wells in this great pool. Now
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1940-06-15

It develops that this S12, 100000 pool
and many others are crossed by the black
line which Loci, Emmons and Howard
believed to be fault line.
If greater production may be expected
from lines below present producing hori-
IONS it goes without saying that the
greatest accumulation will be found in
POROUS, BROKEN lines.
Porous. broken lines are found where
there has been faulting and crushing.
If there IS such a condition in this
field, where it is likely to be?
Is it time to again take out the old
Jameson Howard map as guide book?
Or, is there better guide?
We have been working on the proven
theory that the greatest possibilities for
future profit are to be found in the
"open spaces" of Kevin-Sunburst field
The development of large production
and even new pools in such "open spaces"
(where there has been little or no
drainage) has definitely proven the
theory. We have been buying up roy
alties for less than we ordinarily pay
for wildcat royalties. Like our opera
tor friend, we regard the investment in
these royalties BETTER THAN MONEY
IN THE BANK. 1t is a SAFE invest
ment that come what will, is virtually
certain to increase in value as the years
GO on, even If there is no development
below present horizons The develop
ment of other horizons is the factor that
may make a fortune from a moderate
investment.
If the purchase of decided oil rights
is good for the operator; who has much
money, then it must be good for the
small investor who MUST have more
than bond interest on his investment,
if he is to succeed.
Those who wish to share in our "open
spaces" buying will be furnished with
maps and other information, with no
obligation, upon request

ANDERSON WINS SUIT

HELENA-Failure to get proper
service in a quiet title action re-
suited in setting aside the judg-
ment of TooIe county district
court in favor of Anna Aronow
against John F. Anderson, in
supreme court decision. The judg-
ment to quiet title to oil and gas
lands was rendered in 1888, barring
Anderson from further title in the
property. Last month Anderson
had the judgment set aside on
grounds he had not been properly
served. The decision was appealed
to the supreme court which upheld
Anderson's contention.

BIG ACID SHOT IS
SUCCESSFUL ON
TIP. STATE well

Perhaps the biggest shot of acid
ever used in the Kevin-Sunburst
field, 1000 gallons. proved success
full when used on a we'll at the TIP
State lease. Production was boosted
from about 10 barrels to 200 barrels
per day. The usual shot of acid is
500-gallons. Many wells are show
ing good results from cleaning and
acidizing and it is estimated that
production in the Kevin-Sunburst
field has been increased over 1000
barrels per day since the Interna-
tional Refining Co. abandoned pro-
ration May Is.

Naming of Acting Superintendent of Schools, Closing of MulCahy School Predicted for Meeting Tonight

because of i'll health. Although members of the board said they had heard the rumor, they could not confirm It's validity. It was said that John Gilmartin, night school supervisor, would be appointed act- ing superintendent in Condon's absence, and changes would be made in the positions now held by Miss D. Mae Keefe and Miss Anna Skehan, principals, and possibly other principals, but these rumors although widespread, were not con- firmed by board members.
 It is expected that the board will take up the matter of the ash re- moval from the schools. The job is now being done by the street-de- partment on recommendation of Mayor Vincent Scully for Q tenta- tive period.
 If the board expresses satisfaction with the street department hand- ling of the pob tonight, the depart ment will be given leave to continue If not, new bids will be called for.
 Mayor Scully will attend the meet ing tonight and preside in his ex- ofticio capacity.
 It has aso been rumored that the Mulcahy school would be closed and pupils transferred to Washington school, but this like other rumors, could not be confirmed.

EARLY TREATMENT
 HELP FOR CANCER
Woman With "Cold Sore" on Lower Lip Cured in
 This State

That certain cencer is curable when diagnosed early and ade- quate treatment started promptly Is brought out by Q case in point described in the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health Before 1t was too late this patient wisely sought medical aid and ben- flted from the skill and Judgement of cancer experts In one of the twenty tumor clinics in Connecticut
 The bulletin relates that not long ago on elderly woman noticed what she thought was Q "cold sore" on her lower lips. Application of some sirn- pie home remedies was ineffective; the sore kept returning after heal ing partially so she consulted c physician. From an examination oi the lip lesion he concluded that it was probably cancerous but he re- ferred her to the tumor clinic SC that she could profit from the com bined knowledge and skill of several cancer specialists ct 0 cost within her modest means. Here the sore was definitely diagnosed Q cancer of local, slow growing type which could be cured.
 This patient presented Q problem that appears practically daily throughout the state, according to the bulletin. Happily for her she consulted c physician promptly Knowing that the diagnosis of can cer Is not Q one man job" he sent her to a place where the pooled in- teliigence of several minds could bt brought to bear. When told by these cancer specialists that her case wal curable, the change in her outlook on life was immediate and she left the clinic Q hopeful, forward looking woman, full of plans for the future
