On that date there were 800

production of new ones was at
the rate of $4,000 a year. In 1910
production scared 10 more than
100000 and this years output will

DOMELL ADOPTS
HOT ACID USE on
DOL 0MITIC Lime

Kelvin operators are commenting
on the announcement in the J. p. A.
monthly of Dowell of the New
Hot Acid Treatment" which de-
scrfbes remarkable results being
secured with new treatment and
technique developed by Dowell In
corporated."
Hot acid was first used in Kelvin
field several years ago, the idea
having been evolved and introduced
by Warren Hough. The method then
used was of manual heating of the
acid before its introduction into
the well tubing, while the Dowell
method is by placing magnesium
rod in the tubing at the bottom of
the we'll and then pumping acid in
to the tubing. The reaction be-
tween the magnesium rod and hy-
drochloric acid generates a tremen-
dops amount of heat, thereby in
creasing the effectiveness OF the
treating solution.
Dowell has been experimenting
with hot acid for several years,
finding 1t most effective in dolo-
mite lines. claiming remarkable
results.
1t is a notable fact that a large
amount OF experimental work has
been done in Kelvin field, resulting
in the development Of several inn
provements in the technique OF aci-
dization.

FARMER OWNS
BIG GASSER IN
BOWES FIELD

One Of the most successful gas
farmers" OF Montana is Emil
Guertzgen of Chinook who today
OWNS two gas wells which supply
about IL per cent of the volume OF
the Montana Gas company line to
Hayre and Chinook.
Guertzgen's lease was taken at
the inception OF the BOwes field
by David Boyd, now wealthy oil
operator. In California. and the
lease contained the provision that
it might not be transferred without
the consent of the landowner,
Guertzgen. The Mid-Northern Oil
company, of which Boyd was rep
restative, drilled a .00O,000-foot
well on the farm but did not pro-
duce it, owing to lack of market.
Subsequently the lease was sold
without Gueptzgen's consent. AS
soon as the assignment was placed
of record, Guertzgen brought suit
to quiet title on grounds of breach
of contract and not only cancelled
the lease but secured $4,000 dam
ages for lack of development and
for failure to market the gas. The
case was carried to the circuit court
OF appeals and Guertzgen was up
held in every court.
Montana Gas company then sign
ed a purchase contract to buy
Guertzgen's gas, which paid him
from $3.50 to $500 per month.
Then Montana Gas drilled addition
al wells elsewhere and increased
the total production so that
pro-rata Guertzgen's share of the
market grew less Included in the
competitions were the Sias well with
100000 cubic feet per day; the
Columbian well with 100000
cubic feet per day and the Bjornson
well with 100000 cubic feet per
day.
Montana Gas agreed to drill a
we'll for Guertzgen, contracting to
take pay for the well out of gas.
