found It was drilled to 2O66 and showed
some water with the oil, which is ex-

quarter mile southwest Of the Pfabe a.
Engleking discovery well which is a
small producer but which flowed when
ever opened up. This fact is taken to
indicate the presence of considerable

SpectrOgraph
May Help Find
Lode Above Placer

The spectograph, called the super
snooper" Of science, may solve the
problem of discovering the source lodes
of placer deposits, according to the
Laucks Laboratories of Seattle. By fol-
lowing tributaries which show trace
of minerals being sought, it is possible
to discover the final source Of mineral
ization.
A sample of ore or other material
is burned in a controlled arc light The
light from the flame is reduced to a
spectrum by diffraction grating and
then recorded photographically The
photograph is reflected onto a screen
marked with known spectral lines and
when the two sets Of lines coincide it
means there are the same metals pres
ent in the unknown that are in the
known.
Thus the spectrograph identifies
small samples that may be found in
stream beds, and gives a clue to the
character of the original ore body

MOTORET GETS
MUCH MORE FOR
GASOLINE DOLLAR

Motorists throughout the country
are getting the finest grades Of gaso-
line in the history of the gasoline age,
the Bureau Of Mines states in a recent
report based on tests Of more than 1000
samples Of commercial motor fuel OBJ
tanned in service stations throughout
the country.
Average octane rating Of these sam
pies. collected in the winter Of 1870
l941. increased appreciably over the
previous winter, and anti-knock and
volatility qualities Of all three grades
of gasoline sold at service stations has
shown a steady improvement for the
past five years, the report reveals.
During this five-year period the av-
erage octane number Of regular grades
of gasoline rose from 69.6 to 744;
average of premium grades from 1857
to 500; and of third grade from 579
to 65.6. Reports from other sources
indicate that the average Of regular
grades of motor fuel in 1881 was only
60: four years earlier, in 1927. it was
only so.

Miners to Test
Application of
WGge-HOUr LGLU

Mother Lode Mining association of
California is going to test the applica-
ton OF the wage-houT law as applied
to gold mining The association has
advised members that payroll and sup
plies records should not be produced
except under federal subpoena and an
nounced that wages and hours now in
effect will be continued.
1t is maintained that since the gold
is sold to the mint at San Francisco,
the gold miners are not in interstate
commerce but are purely in interstate
commerce.
They point to a 1888 decision of the
U. S. Circuit Court Of Appeals CNation-
al Labor Relations Board VS.. Idaho
Maryland Mines Corp) which ruled
that California mines engaged in SELL
ing gold to the U. S. mint in San
Francisco were not subject to the
Wagner act. This decision, they claim,
applies to the wage-hour situation as
well. The wage-hour administration de-
clares that the law applies to any
business whose product goes into ''the
stream Of commerce"

FINANCING
OF PRIMARY
VENTURES NIL

There has long been a public belief
that while the Securities & Exchange
Commission has pretty well eliminated
the public offerings Of fraudulent
stocks, it has pretty well halted public
financing of all enterprises save re-
funding of bonds and like seasoned
securities. New enterprise is likely to
become a thing of the past, many be-
lieve.
Facts regarding this situation have
been published by the s. E. G. in a
sales record Of unseaSoned registered
securities from 1888 to 1899. This re-
port shows that 767 companies regis
tered $97, 49,, 900 in securities but sold
only 23.9 percent of the amount. Out
of $40 issues registered, no sales were
reported for 294 issues and 1856 issues
had sales Of less than 10 percent Of
the amount registered Complete sales
were reported for 1873 issues.
OF the 757 companies, ACT were new
ventures and these sold only 15.2 per-
cent Of the amount registered. The $50
going concerns sold 1919 percent Of the
amount registered. Companies which
sell only is percent Of their stocks are
deemed likely of failure.
Only 2O.9 percent Of common stock
registered was sold, as compared with
228 percent for preferred stock, 30.6
percent for certificates of beneficial
interest and STA percent for bonds.
Cost Of flotation averaged is percent
of the amount sold, for common stock;
13 percent for preferred stock and "a
percent for bonds. Costs were rela-
lively the highest for extractive COM
panies (oil and mining), amounting to
20.2 percent, followed by 14.6 percent
for manufacturing companies.
Underwriters sold less than one
fourth of the total, as contrasted with
registered issues which are
sold mainly through underwriters

INDEPENDENT
OIL MEN MEET
HERE JULY "a

Group meetings of members Of the
independent Petroleum Association are
to be held in Montana during the
present month, according to letters re-
ceived from c. E. Buchner, executive
manager, of Tulsa.
One meeting will probably be held
at Billings and the other at Cut Bank,
the latter on July "a. Mr.. Buchner
hopes Mr.. II. B. Fell, executive vice
president, will be able to attend the
Montana meetings, and if the situation
IN washington will allow, Russell B.
Brown, general counsel, is scheduled TO
come
The meeting in 1910 was held IN
Shelby, thus the decision Of the local
directors to hold the 1941 meeting at
Cut Bank. All Independent producers
in the state, without regard to mem
bership in the association, will be urged
to attend the Montana sessions which
are to impart to the Independent in
dustry the role of the Independent
operator and refiner in the new setup
established by Harold Ickes, oil CO.
ordinator
Details of the Billings and Cut Bank
sessions will be worked out by local
committees to be announced by Mon
tana officers Of the association. Dan
Dumheller is the Cut Bank chairman
and Phil Forth is Billings chairman.

In acidization Of limestone, hydro
chloric acid dissolves a portion Of the
producing formation, allowing it to be
removed in liquid form The production
increases can be most reasonably ex-
planned as resulting from the removal
Of pore-blocking and filling
material, says this report.
Test Sand Cores
Experimentation has been in prog
ress for several years in conjunction
with lime acidizing and Dowell has
made various tests and analyses on
more than 800 diamond drill cores. OF
these, more than 80 percent showed an
increase in permeability when acidized
in the laboratory; the average increase
for all the cores studied was more than
500 percent. CompreSsive strength tests
have been made on cores to determine
the loss in structural strength result
ing from acid treatments in the lab
oratory 1t was found that the loss
ranged from percent to n percent;
the average for the entire group was
40 percent.
The average acid solubility of the 90
different oil-producing sandstones ana
lyzed was 8.5 percent, a figure which
agrees surprisingly well with the data
of others since several different meth
DDS for determining them were en-
ployed.
Method Of Study
The report describes the method Of
study and the results are tabulated.
No samples from Montana were used
but several cores from Wyoming. in
GLIDING Lance creek sands, were tested
with the others to determine porosity,
permeability, solubility and compressive
strength. Thereafter they were treated
with acid. OF the 332 cores from more
than 30 different producing formations,
271 or 81 percent, showed an increase
in permeability when acidized in the
laboratory. The permeability increase
was 537 percent.
The average permeability increase for
cores was 400 percent which
Is lower than the average yet the best
field results have been obtained in
the report states.
Result Of FauIting
This may be partly explained by
the fact that In at least part OF the
wells treated in wyoming, the forma-
ton contains induced porosity which
S probably the result of faulting." The
report continues:
1.-THE theoretical considerations on
5he effect of permeability increase on
Inc production of oil are somewhat
and involved due to the
many variable factors that must be
considered. However, If definite values
ire assigned to some of these variables, |
theoretical production increases can
1e determined.
For example, $50 gallons Of acid viii
;aturate one foot of formation radial |
distance Of rs feet. If a 800 percent |
Increase IN permeability results from
he presence of this acid in the pores,
It least so percent increase in produc-
ion can be expected. However, the /
occurrence Of channeling, due to for
nation Irregularities, will sometimes
cad to even much greater production
Increases than those indicated by the

FINE REPORT
is ISSUED ON
WYOMING OIL

Interesting bits of pioneer oil history
are contained in the new publication
on Wyoming oil issued by the q. S.
Bureau of Mines, including the fact
that nine years after Colonel Drake
brought in his oil well at 69A feet on
Oil Greek, Pa, a wyoming driller put
down a 480-foot deep test" In the
vicinity Of the Brigham Young spring,
but it found neither oil nor gas. Deep
drilling reached ESQ feet by 1886, one
such well having been drilled at Dallas
Dome, near a seepage. Some Of the oil
they produced was hauled with teams
125 miles to stations on the Union
Pacific railroad.
In contrast to those wells Is the
Badger Basin drilling, by Julius Peters
and associates, which goes to a depth
of 1921 feet and the $500 to $500
foot wells in Lance Greek.
In 1889 oil was found in Powder
River basin, in the Shannon pool and
the oil was hauled to Casper by II and
16-horSe teams whose drivers had no
idea that they were passing over what
later was to become the most prolific
field in the Rocky Mountain region and
one of the great fields of the world
Salt Creek oil field. This was not dis
covered until 1903 and in 1925 reached
its peak with a production Of IS million
barrels from GOT wells.
The publication, called Bulletin 418.
contains complete data on Wyoming
oil development and is obtainable from
the Superintendent of Documents,
washington, D. c., at the price Of
$225.

tions below the Madison limestone and
the first bailer Of cement was being
lowered when the sand line broke and
the bailer of cement dropped TOO feet.
Fishing tools quickly recovered the lost
line but before the fishing tools could
get hold of the bailer, the quickest
cement had hardened. 1t was a special
bailer, constructed especially for this
job.

LEGAL LOTTERY
OF OIL LANDS Is
WON BY WOMAN

A good, old-fashioned lottery, with
each man putting in $40 against the
chance of having his name drawn out
of a hat, emitting him to fortune in
the form of an Oil and gas lease on
government land, was held IN Great
Falls on Wednesday.
The lottery was held under provis-
ions of the federal law providing for the
settlement of conflicts IN filings on
government oil lands. The tract in
volved was a lease scattered over a
newly proven West Kelvin area, and the
winner was Lila Jane MACEDONIAN, wife
of James MACEDONIAN, pioneer Kelvin
engineer who surveyed the wellsite OF
the Campbell discovery well. Mrs. Mac
Gowan is the daughter of the late w. G..
Davis, founder of Sunburst.
There were % persons participating
in the lottery which netted the gov
eminent $40 per participant, totaling
$3.50. The land included Lots 3 and A.

1T will be recalled that the treat
ment of wells in Wyoming resulted in
much larger production than would
have been anticipated from laboratory
study of the cores. It is known that
fractures exist in the Wyoming sands
in question and that they are partly
or completely filled with secondary
minerals such as caleite and hence it is
very likely that channeling or widen
ing Of these partially filled fractures
occurs during the treatment Of the
well"
The type Of acid used in treating
sands is not discussed in the report.
