SUNBURST POOL
is POSSIBLE ON
TOP OF RIMROCK

Good possibility Of a Sunburst sane
oil pool on top Of the high rimroch
west of Kelvin was suggested this week
as Peterson Sorenson Government No
2 well, NE NW5 Sci 18-35-3W, found
a good showing of oil in the Sunbursi
sand.
This is the fifth well drilled on the
top Of the plateau which stands 800
feet higher than the main Kelvin field
Completion was delayed this week by
fishing Job for a lost bailer at 2475
feet. This well is checking 80 feet
lower than the High Gravity company
producers and the Peterson Sorenson
No. /, confirming almost to the foot
the geology Of Fred G. Plat. pioneer
Kelvin engineer who mapped the fold
on the high plateau.
There was but one completion in
Kelvin field this week. It is Handbook

FIRST 10 DAYS

An average Of 735 barrels per day
was the official To-day record OF the
sensational Glacier Production-Mc-
Guinnis Unit No. oil wen in north
Cut Bank, reported this week as the
well was pinched back to between 450
and 48O barrels per day. Tubing with
packer was run and the well, still
flowing, is being so produced as to
hold as low gas-ol ratio as possible.
This well, producing from the Sun
burst sand at 1856 feet, yields AZ gra-
witty oil-the highest gravity crude
ever found in commercial quantities in
Northern Montana.
Drilled in a doubtful portion Of the
Cut Bank gas field as gas well, 1t
was a great surprise when 1t came in
with an initial flow of $40 barrels in
the first % hours.
1t became known this week that the
lease on which this record well was
drilled was once held by The Califor-
mia company, Standard Of California
branch, which has withdrawn from
Montana. The Standard drilled no
wells in Cut Bank, turning its leases
back to the landowners, thereby sur
rendering its greatest opportunity in

Practically all the gasoline sold in

annually and the large crops this year

Emrick Brings
in His Third Oil
Field in Arch

To Y. Byers Emrick, petroleum
geOiOgist. goes credit for discovery
Of a third oil field I'm Montana,
with the finding Of commercial
production on Midway structure,
east Of Conrad, I'm P0ndera county.
He was the discOyerer Of POndera
oil fields and Of Bannatyne oil
fields, and co-discOverer Of Cut
Bank oil field, and is credited with
discovery Of Bow and Arrow gas
field.
Emrick Is the only living geoIO-
gist credited with finding three
oil fields in the Treasure State.
In each instance Emrick not only
discovered the fold and did the
geological work at his own ex-
pense but was largely responsible
for the development work. He has
been trying 20 get Midway de-
veloped for the past IS years,
never swerving In his faith that
there was an oil field IN the fold,
which lays astride the crest Of the
Sweetgrass Arch.
Five structures have been APP
proved by Emrick in Northern
Montana, including the three now
producing, Conrad Butte, north
east Of Conrad and north Of Mid
way and Pendroy structure, north
west Of Pondera oil field. A wen
was spudded ON Conrad Butte last
week. He hopes TO have another
weIF drilled on Pendroy not later
than next spring. Al Pendr0y he
has definitely established the pre-
sence Of a fault with 800 feet Of
displacement, said TO be one Of the
most important geological dis
coveries In the Sweetgrass Arch.
Emrick is one Of the foremost
proponents Of deeper drilling, be-
ieving that the major fields in
Montana win get their production
from horizons below the Mississip-
plan or Madison lime, viz, the De-
vonian and OrdOyician formations.

High income taxes, risk Of seeking new

crude found in the Wood discovery we'll where
no effort was made to test the Sunburst sand

Jubilation was rife everywhere
among the Negro citizens of Mis-
sissippi, following announcement
that Governor Paul B. Johnson
and the State Board for Institution
Of Higher Learning, at their recent
meeting, had extended the course
of instruction at Jackson College
from two to four years, and at the
same time recommended that the
curricular at Alcorn be raised to re
quirmeents necessary for a stand
ard grade "A" college.
The action of the Governor and
the Board was significant because
of the fact that at a meeting early
this year the requset for the ex.
tension of the course at Jackson
College from two to four years had
been denied. The action not allow
ing the extension of the course at
jackson College was followed by a

It is also important that each
registrant keep, with him at all
times his registration Certificate,
which is evidence of his registra-
ton and given him as a certificate
at the time he registered by the
Registrar. 1t is most likely that in
the near future a systematic and
thorough check will be made to
see that every man who should
hold Registration Certificate has
one in his possession.
It is the duty of the Registrant
to keep the Local Board advised at
all times of his correct address, and
the Registrant should learn with
which Board he is registered and
keep this Board informed at all
times of his address. If he moves
from one place to another, his lo-
cal Board should be notified by
him.
Colonel Long pointed out that
whereas it is advisable for each
registrant to register in the Local
Board area in which he lives, yet
this is not imperative If it is nee
essary for the man to be out of
town on Registration Day, he may
register in any county in the Unit
ed States; but it is most important
that on Line 2 there shall appear
the correct residence address of the
Registrant SO that his card will be
mailed to the Board in his local
area where he lives. Otherwise, if
this address is not on his Registra-
ton Card, a Board many hundreds
OF miles from his residence address
may hold his card for the duration
