Texas Company
Has Casein Mud
To Stop Gazing

A patent Just issued to Sterling P.
Hart Of Long Beach, Calf, and as
signed to The Texas company, New
York, covers use Of casein, the protein
OF milk and the main ingredient Of
cheese, to prevent caving in wells dur
ing drilling. The inventor notes that
the tendency for shale to heave in
some localities is due to water enter
ing the shale formation, and that this
can be overcome by circulating a mud
in which casein is dispersed. After
the mud has been thoroughly circu-
lated it is withdrawn and a second
mud containing hardening agent for
casein, such as formaldehyde, is cir
to form a seal of waterproof
filter cake" which holds the water
back. The casein seal will Withstand
a pressure Of 5000 pounds per square
inch, the patent states.

Depletion Law
For Oil Leases
May Be Killed

WASHINGTON.-Action against de-
pletion allowance for oil and gas was
recommended today by Treasury Sec
rotary Morgenthau as part of the "all-
out tax program" now deemed neces-
sary by Morgenthau. His statement on
depletion to the senate finance COM
mittee follows
For years, the concerns engaged in
extracting certain of our natural re-
sources, notably oil, have been granted
far greater allowances for depletion
than can be justified on any reason
able basis of tax equity If the income
tax is to be extended to lower incomes,
this privilege of tax escape should
simultaneously be removed"
Assistant Treasury Secretary Sulli-
van reminded the committee that the
house had not adopted treasugy's pro-
posed t-cent gasoline tax increase.

Governor Brooks
Points Out Why
Oil "Made Good"

The library of the Montana OIL &,
Mining Journal is in receipt of a COPY
/ of Memoirs of Bryant B. Brooks, which
! furnish an interesting commentary on
! the history of the state of Wyoming
! Of which Mr. Brooks served as gov
ernor. Governor Brooks became inter
ested in the oil industry and has been
president Of Consolidated Royalty on
Co., which has paid dividends contin-
uously since 1917.
Significant in the present war Sit
uation is the comment of Governor
Brooks regarding the part played bv
the oil industry in the last war;
During the World war our efforts
would have been unsuccessful had our
oil supply failed This vital factor was
little discussed or considered by the
average citizen. Why?
Simply because the part played by
the oil administration was both eff
ficiently and honestly played. The men
in charge Of oil affairs knew the game
from A to 2. During all that trying
war period, when the honor of our
beloved America and the hope of
Europe trembled in the balance, never
wheel was idle for lack of oil, never
a battleShip or freighter failed to sail
for lack Of fuel, never a truck or auto
stopped for lack Of gas, and never an
aeroplane checked its flight because
naptha was not available Regardless |
of labor shortage or transportation |
breakdoWns the oil and gas were al
ways there. The men who managed /
this industry delivered the goods re- 4
gardless of obstacles.
My own town of Casper sent 600
carloads of gasoline to the battle front
in one week The men who directed
the petroleum supply during the war
knew every oil well, every tank, every
refinery, because they had helped to
build them Therefore they made
good"

Chrome Access Road
Is Still DELAYED

HELENA.-Construction of a 40-mile
access road to the rich chrome de-
posts in Saltwater county still was
up in the air" today, with strong
possibility the road could not be COM
pleted to permit winter hauling OF
concentrates.
Howard W. Holmes, chief highway
engineer. said he had heard nothing
further concerning the road, and in
dications were it might be constructed
as a WPA project Original plans
called for Holmes department to build
the road for the government, with the
government paying all costs. The state
was to have improved and surfaced
about % miles of the road, while the
forest service improved 10. Forest serv-
ice crews already are working ON their
section.

Relaxation Is
Afforded by NeW
Book "OiL Boom"

The tired and dizzy oil men OF
Montana and other states can find
no better relaxation than a new book
just received by the Journals library.
Tt IS called "Oil Boom" and is by
Boyce House. It is to the oil industry
about what "The War Of the Copper
Kings" is to the copper industry. It
tells the story of Spindletop, Burk-
burnett, Mexia Smackover, BESIDE
mona and Ranger.
The author points out that oil
booms are a thing of the past but
he goes back to the boisterous days
when the oil business was a game. /"
He recalls the days when an employee
Of railroad who was assigned to
Beaumont, took flier in oil and
cleared 100000. This caused the rail-
way authorities to forbid employees
from engaging in similar ventures.
Those were the days when everyone
went into the oil busineSs-before the
test tube days The publisher of the
Texas Christian Advocate organized
one company: also the editor of the
Baptist Standard and out of this sort
OF business came the purchase of two
acres at Beaumont which was capital
lied at 100000
"Butte's richest hill on earth was
challenged by the activity on Beau
monts hill" the author relates. Five
hundred derricks arose on IA acres.
Companies with tiny fragments Of
land had room only for a derrick and
were compelled to rent a space for
the boiler
Reading this book provides ample
conviction that Montana has never
had an oil boom, such as the name
suggests, and accordingly never will
have for the days of riotous oil de-
yelopment are as definitely gone as
the range buffalo.
"Oil Boom" which is informative
as well as entertaining, is printed by
The Caxton Printers, Ltd, OF Cald-
well. Idaho. The price is So. A copy
OF the book may be seen in the Jour
mars library at GIG First National |
