WILDCAT WEST
OF SUNBURST
DRILLS AGAIN

An all-time high in determination
and tenacity was marked up in
the north end of Kevin-Sunburst
field this week as it became known
that A. g. Parent, drilling a wild
cat well west of the town of Sun
burst, has again cleaned up an
impossible" fishing job and is now
drilling ahead at 1880 feet.
This wildcat we'll has been the
most troublesome wildcat well ever
drilled in the area and no less
than three times the hole was de-
clared lost by crew members and
others. Each time, Parent has
taken over and, working alone,
has fished out the lost tools or
casing, repaired the hole and con-
tinued drilling, only to have the
crew get into another 'jamb." Out
of finances several times, Parent
has managed to raise additional
funds each time and has further
more been able to keep his lease
block fairly intact, having tied up
his rig and equipment Tor two years
in the relatively shallow test.
The last fishing job was at 1850.
He has made 80 feet Of new hole
and will test the Cut Bank sand
horizon and the top of the Madi-
hon lime.

SOUTH CUT BANK AGAIN EXTENDED
OHIO STARTS
TWO MORE IN
NORTH FIELD

Ohio Oil company completed its
fret producing well in several
years in Kevin-Sunburst field
during the past week, getting an
excellent producer through the use
of acid on lime formation on the
Lind farm in the center of the
field. This company has done 10
drilling for years owing to market
conditions.
Ohio-Lind No. 5, SW SEANW u
11-35-2W, is now on production
test, with every promise of an
initial of upward of 100 barrels
per day following acidization of a
brown. porous limestone at 1929
to 1884. When the bit cut the for
nation, oil rose 425 feet over night
and it swabbed % barrels. A
1,OO0-gallOn acid "shot" was readily
absorbed by the formation and at
last reports the oil used in treating
had been recovered.
The Lind producer is north

operated by Casper T. Oien and

that it was exhausted, before the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
G. w. Sis there any contra
indication to reading while eat
ing?"
Answer-Well, perhaps nothing
serious, but the psychologists tell
us that the sight and smell Of food
stimulate retlexes which help US
to digest it. Anything which de-
tracts our attention from the food
itself may dull these refexes. So
perhaps it is best to put the paper
down while the actual eating is in
progress. 1.-THE man of intellect
alone knows how to eat" wrote
Brillat-Savarin.
