REGULATION
OIL INDUSTRY
MOVES SLOWLY

Several Montanans have been elect
ed to the directorate OF the Rocky
Mountain oil & Gas association which
met last week in Casper, but the
/ complete personnel has not yet been
announced. Notices of appointment
/ have been received from George w
Jarvis, secretary. by H. A. True OF The
Texas company at Cut Bank. by r.
p Jackson. secretary Of the Oil Con-
servation board and o. l. DeSchon,
publisher OF the Journal. 1t is believed
that other appointments have been
made. representing the four branches
OF the Montana industry Whether the
Montana group is to function as a
Montana chapter or whether all meet
ings are to be held In Casper has not
yet been announced.
The association has been revived for
the purpose of keeping in close touch
with the advisory committees Of ON
Co-ordinator Ickes and to assist in
the defense program If there is a
need.
The only development of the week
was the calling Of a meeting in Wash
ington of the 25 chairnen of the dis
trict petroleum committees and the
report that a government representa-
tive will be appointed for each Of the
four branches. The functions Of such
appointees can only be surmised.
The program Of closing filling sta
tons between p. m. and a. m, in
tended to cut gasoline use one-third,
is being checked by Co-ordinator
Ickes but the result Is not known
Oh companies are starting an adver-
Using program intended to educate the
public TO conserve gasoline along the
Atlantic seacoast. The co-ordinator
has denied that the next step will be
q 10 percent cut in supplies Of motor
fuel. However 1t is believed that ra-
tioning will be adopted.
The embargo on shipments to Japan
combined with the removal Of tankers
from Callfornia-Atlantic service is ex-
pected to result in heavy over-produc-
ZION or curtailment in California. The
expectation Is that California products
VIII probably be forced into the Rocky
Mountain markets, possibly competing
strongly with Montana refiners In the
Inland empire.

WATER FOHS
SIGNAL BUTTE
ACIDTZATION

Water again drowned out oil Show
ing in the Cobb-Yale test well on
Signal Butte structure in northern
Hill county this week when 1000 gall
Ions Of hydrochloric acid was applied
to the lime of the Ellis-Madison con-
tact. The acid apparently penetrated
the water strata which had been only
partially shut off by the squeeze ce-
ment job, and filled up to the top
of the casing.
It is cold, fresh water, unlike water
usually found in the lower Ellis. Be-
low this water strata was found 40
feet of saturation, with heavy satura-
ton from 412S to 4132 and from ABB
to ALAG in a lime readily soluble in
acid. However, the acid did not seem
TO penetrate the oil strata and the
amount of oil was not increased. The
acid was applied by Eline Acid Co. Of
Shelby, DoWen representative, with L.
o. Gore of Seagrave, Tex, in charge.
w. M. Hanlon, who leased the struc-
trre and secured the drilling of this
well, said that the showing justifies
the drilling of another well to test
the contact at another location, also
he hopes to bring about the compile
ton of the present well to the Devon
ian, the original objective of the test.
1--WE have enough oil to prove a new
field in a structure Of this type" he
said. "This showing Of oil serves as
encouragement for deeper drilling. We
had more oil than wells in Turner
Valley find above the contact yet they
get production in lower horizons |
greater than our lime contact wells |
Dur biologists tell us that the .struc-
5ural condition is as expected, except
ing that the formations are thicker,
and the prospects for Devonian pro-
iuction are even more favorable than
when this well started"
The trouble with the flow of water,
believed to be coming in from a nearby
ault, followed an error in measuring
n the casing and the finch o. d.
firing was one joint short. 1t is be-
ieved that there we're two flows Of
water below the casing point. A So
nch liner was cemented in but this
lid not hold back the flow. After
everal attempts failed a 30O-sack
squeeze" job reduced the water flow
o slightly less than one barrel an
lour. After acid was applied it began
making six barrels Of water per hour.
Hanlon believes it possible to drill
nut the liner and cement off the
yater flow and the oil strata with 500
0 600 sacks of cement and continue
n down through the lime with cable
ools.

RIMROCK NOSE

Further development Of the new
Rimrock nose northwest Of Kelvin,
northwest of the High Gravity COM
pany's discovery well, was promised
this week as Big West OIL company
OF Kelvin spotted a well on a newly
acquired state lease. Location of the
well followed careful geological work
which led to the conclusion that the
high gravity pool extends northwest
ward, with possibility Of production in
the Sunburst and Cut Bank sands as
well as the lime contact. Location is
beyond the rimrock, a high sandstone
surrounding the Kelvin field on the
west.
Big West location is in the northeast
corner NE7 NWz 13-35-3W. 1t is go

No. / discovery well, in Section Is,
was very small but it pointed the way

BONDS HELD
FOR PAYMENT
ADVANCE RENT

The Department of the Interior is
proceeding against bondsmen on u. S
land leases to collect advance rentals
for the third year under leases ex-
changed for oil and gas prospecting
permits.
When the lease is given in exchange
for a permit the government requires
no bond, since a 5000 drilling bond
Is expected to be furnished when OPP
erations start. but a 81 900 bond is re-
quired to protect against damage to
agricultural crops. NOW comes the de-
partment and holds these bondsmen
Tor payment Of advance rentals.
The present case is that OF r. E.
OKeefe Of Chinook, under Great
Falls lease 081768. He failed 10 pay $40
advance rental for the year ending
June IS, 1941, after being given 3O-day
notice in May, 1910. He expected to
allow the lease to go to cancellation
for non-payment of rent. The depart
ment notified his bondsmen on the
surface bond to pay the $40 rental
They appealed to the general office
and on June 5, 1871, their appeal was
denied No further steps have been
taken by the government. Scores of
similar cases win probably be prose-
cuted because most former permitees
have allowed their leases to expire.
The only way to avoid this trouble
Is Tor the lease owner to release back
to the government 30 days before the
lease expires. Even then it is difficult
TO get the department to release the
bond, permitees state.

Satisfied with . scoreless tic against Norwaik hlgh, which lost two touch- downs on penalties. Coach Bill Schof1eld prepared his new Crosby high school football squad for Q real, hard test of the early season scheduled for next Saturday at An- sonia.
 Leavenworth is the first of the lo- cal high school combines to see ac- ton this week, going to Manchester for a night game Friday, while Wil- by will play the home game this week, its first of the season, at Mu- nicipal Stadium Saturday against Gilbert of Winsted, 8 one point winner, 8 to 2 over Junior Republic Saturday.
 The real surprise of the high school games Saturday was the B to 6 victory won by Joe Fontana's Lewis high boys 0f southinSton at Torrington.
 Crosby "Jlnx"
 Norwalk, presenting Q fast, steady and hard. blocking squad as usual, and with the benefit of four weeks training under the tutelage of Coach "Ike" Kern was unable to take Crosby into camp for the third successive season, though supposed ly stronger. Norwalk, showed the better football, everything consid- cred and did score twice but had the touchdowns nulllfled on penal ties for c back in motion in one case, and an offside in the other.
 Tn the first period, the visitors reeled off three first downs and in no time had the ball on Crosbys B. Fradette ran to the ten then passed to left end Lawrence who scored but there was @ back in mo- ton on the play and the ball came back. Norwalk scored on a wide end around play in the second pe- riod but that too was discounted be- cause of an offside on the part of the Norwalk right tackle.
 Got Going
 Crosby began to roll in the third period, when 1t got three first downs but the Schofielders drive was short lived when Nichols fumbled on third down with but three yards to 90.
 McSherrys kicking pulled Crosby out of danger more than once, but several Sophomores in the lineup and the first game of the season produced some costly fumbleS thought the work of Captain Don Cruess and 230 pound shembriskas was excellent, while Hummells play in the Crosby backheld will improve fast.
 In the second half, neither team had an offside or any other penalty while the final play of the game showed . nice pass to Fasanelli which was completed, but Norwalk gained possession as 1t was pulled out of the arms of the Crosby re. ceIver just as the pair hit the turf.
