TO TRY CASING
PUMP TO HANDLE
BIG WATER FLOW

Experimentation in handling large
amounts OF fluid with a new type Of
casing pump has prompted the drilling
OF test in the midst Of abandoned
oil wells which turned to water on the
Ostvic Norem farm in Sci SWa So

Kelvin field.
The operator Is M S. Toles who has
taken over a lease on which Ohio OIL
company drilled IL wells many Of which
were large producers initially. Unable
/ to handle the fluid, Ohio abandoned

triangle between wells No /, and 8,
all Of which were producers. He calls
his well ToIes-N Orem No. ~. It is 423
feet north Of the south line and l755
feet east Of the west line Of the section.

MONTANA HOPES
TO GET II ON
REGIONAL BOARD

Montanans returning from the Wash
ington conference called by Secretary
Harold IckeS, oil co-ordinator, report
that announcement of the Rocky
Mountain committee viii probably be
made during the coming week. Nom
nations for the committee Of 48 closed
on Thursday of this week Numerous
recommendations were made by Mon
tana oil men in wires and kilograms
Montana Is in region Of the new
setup announced at the conference by
Secretary Ickes There are five regions,
each with four 12-man committees to
be representative of production, trans
portation, refining and marketing. The
five chairmen Of these committees will
function as co-ordinating group for
the region.
In region is Montana, Idaho, Wyo-
ming, Utah and Colorado. The head
quarters will probably be in Denver.
There is no suggestion as to the chair
man but he will likely come from Wyo-
ming or Colorado Montanans have
hope of getting II members on the
regional committee including three on
production, four on refining, two on
transportation and two on marketing.
Montana has about one-third of the
rated refining capacity Of the district,
thus rating the large representation in
refining. Montana's production Is only
q fourth of that of Wyoming, leading
to the belief that Wyoming viii have
q majority ON the producing committee,
Announcement was made that there
win be no state COORDINATION or super
visor and the function Of the COM
mittee win be advisory only. 1t was
indicated that no local squabbles viii
be allowed to enter into the functions
Of the committee which Is intended
merely to coordinate the entire in
eiistry IN the defense effort. Commit
tees were warned not to initiate any
group action violating the anti trust
laws and Ickes said that there viii be
instances where he viii want the oil
industry to take action to keep costs
down, conserve oil and gas and to in
sure utilization Of producing. transpor-
tation, refining and marketing facil-
tiles at maximum efficiency. 1t also
may be necessary to act to prevent
inequitable burdens on independent OPP
orators, IckeS added.

Kelvin Survey Will
Show Real Potentially

A survey Of producing oil wells
storage and potential producing ca
pacity is in progress in Kelvin field this
week under direction of r. P. Jackson,
secretary Of the Oil Conservation
Board. In charge of the field work is
James MACEDONIAN, petroleum engineer,
who has been a student Of Kelvin field
since its inception.
The survey was ordered by the Con-
servation board last week and was well
under way by Wednesday with compile
ton due within the next week or 10
days. The board is ascertaining from
each operator full data ON wells and
production including daily potential
of wells now being operated and po-
tential Of shut-in wells. A check of
tanks on leases and oil in storage will
reveal the amount of oil that has ac-
cumulated on each lease.
Employed on the survey with Mac
Gowan are Sullivan Kinney of Kelvin,
r. P. Kincheloe of Shelby and Oren
T.. Kelson of Sunburst.
Each producer is called upon to an
swer the question: Are you satisfied
with your present marketing connec-
tions?" adding, IF not, would you can
eel present sales contracts, or division
orders, etc., wholly or in part, and
make sales contract with buyer salts
factory to you, to cover fixed period
Of time or some stated number of
barrels of oil to be delivered as con-
tracted, at posted field price?" He is

STATE MOVES TO
COLLECT TAXES ON
INDIAN OIL FIELD

HEaENA.-The state board OF equal
ization asked the Montana supreme
court to modify its ruling that the
board may not collect state taxes on
oil and gas produced from Indian
lands.
The court ordered the Santa Rita
Oil q Gas Co., which secured the
judgment, to show cause June 80 why
the ruling should not be modified.
In its petition for modification, the
equalization board related that since
the supreme courts decision, the
United States supreme court had held
that states could tax gas and oil taken
from Indian lands. The state courts
decision was based on the theory the
Santa Rita Co. was an agency Of the
federal government in developing oil
and gas land on the Blackfeet reser-
walton.

oil he would represent to the prospec-
tive new buyer as deliverable per
month, by leases, together with express
sion of guarantee to deliver the con-
tracted number Of barrels specified.
state briefly the general terms and
conditions you would demand, or ex-
pect, of any prospective purchaser of
your crude oil production as to price,
payment, purchase quotas based upon

any comment you wish TO offer" the
QUESTIONABLE concludes.
The board has stated that the IN
formation is not to be published but
hopes TO arrive at totals indicative of
the amount Of oil available to q DO
tential buyer and is to be used by
state and federal officials and agen-
cies as may be necessary. Individual
questionnaires viii not be available to
public inspection.
There has been conflicting opinion
as to the potential Of Kelvin field,
which this survey may clear up. ac-
cording to members of the board. Pro-
ducers selling to The Texas company
are producing something less than so

cipal buyers, including Big West and

nections.

WYOMING BLACK
OILS SUBJECT OF
u. S. B. M. REPORT

Wyoming black oils have q high as
phalt content which makes them avail
able for the production Of asphaltic
materials for the construction and
maintenance Of highways and landing
fields, and for bonding, insulating,
waterproofing and other specialized
uses, according to a report just issued
by the Bureau Of Mines, United States
department of interior.
The strategic importance Of Wyo-
ming crude oils is emphasized by the
increased needs for petroleum asphalts
and road oils for all-weather surfaces
on numerous national defense projects,
and, the report points out, Wyoming
can easily increase its average produc-
ton Of black oil several fold without
drilling new wells.
Studies completed by the Bureau Of
Mines, at its petroleum experiment
station In Laramie, Wyo., in co-opera-
ton with the University Of Wyoming,
show that Wyoming black oil yields
asphalts that compare favorably with
those from several commercially inn
portant oils from certain other states.
The tests, according to the Bureau OF
Mines report, indicate that the prop
critics of the asphalts from Wyoming
crude oils are similar to those from
Arkansas oils, and are intermediate
between those from certain California
and Mexico oils which have been ex-
amined.

CEMENT FAILS

AT SIGNAL BUTTE

Discovery that flow Of water had
not been shut off by cementing OPP

northern Hill county. was made this
week when the plug was drilled out.
following cementing of casing. Casing
was cemented with rs sacks at 1890
feet, above a 40-foot zone Of oil satura-
ton in the ElliS-Madison contact.
When rotary mud was unloaded from
the hole there appeared a column Of
1900 feet Of water.
It was found that the pipe had been
set too high-above the known water
sand and a liner is being set by A. B.
Cobb who, with the Yale Oil Corp. Is
drilling the well.
The well, located in center SWa NE1
19-37N-15E, was drilled to 4341. into
the Madison lime, before determining
to plug back and test the contact oil
showings. particularly two sections 9
and feet thick, respectively, which
offered promise Of responding to n.y.
to have been applied on Tuesday had
the water intrusion not appeared.
1t has been determined that the
Of oil found by the California
company on Bowes structure, drilled
more than a decade ago, came from the
top Of the Devonian, rather than the
Madison lime and may cause the drill
ing of the Signal Butte well on to the
without regard to the out
come of the contact test. The Signal
Butte well is checking 100 feet higher
than the BoWes well and has had more
showings of gas and oil than the
Bowes well.

Baseball Broadcast
Job Again Interests
Helen DettweiIer
She Is Eoeer to Couple
Work os Golf Pro With
Minor League Post

Helen Dettweiler, Washington
born feminine golf professional, may
return next year to broadcasting Of
baseball games, one of her first
sports ventures when she was a
prominent amateur competitor in
golf Journeys around Washington.
Back in Washington for the holi-
days with no i'll effects from a
recent automobile accident in Texas,
Helen said she has been discussing
broadcaSting of minor league base
ball games in the Middle West dur
ing 1912. She will not give up her
job with a Chicago sports equip
ment manufacturing concern, she
said, but will tie in her, golf work
with broadcasting II the baseball
deal is arranged.
Helen suffered only bruised knee
in the auto accident near Corsicana.
Tex, which put Patty Berg, her
companion. in hospital for 10 days
and will keep Patty out of golf for
three or four months. Red-headed
Patty now is at her Minneapolis
home, her knee in a cast. She will
not be able to compete in the South
ern winter tournaments. In addition
to a broken kneecap Patty suffered
cuts about the face. Helens new
sports roadster-a yellow convertible
job-was badly wrecked in the ac-
cident.
Helen's plans for the winter are
vague. All the golf equipment manu-
facturers are wondering what is
going to happen in the industry in
the light of a certain stringent
golf ball shortage and predicted
curtailment of steel for club shafts.
Until an edict comes from head
quarters of her firm in Chicago
regarding 1912 plans, Helen will re-
main here. In past winters she has
gone to Florida, making Miami her
headquarters for a golf promotion
job in the State. She may compete
in women's open tourney at Holly
wood, few miles north of Miami,
around the middle of January.
