WEST ESCAPES
MORE RATI(0NIN(s
OF MOTOR FUEL

Gasoline rationing is not coming to
the Rocky Mountain region, known as
District 4, although Districts aud
3 win have to share alike with the
Atlantic coast states Of District /. This
is the announcement Of PTWC.
Eastern states now get 1h gallons
per gasoline coupon Thoss states win
get perhaps gallons per unit, as
win Districts 2 and which now enjoy
gallons per unit, as in the West.
Chairman Boyd Of PIWC said the
Rocky Mountain area aud Pacific coast
were not included because athe inn
position of further restrictions in those
areas could not help the rest Of the
country. However, IL transportation re-
arrangements can be made to permit
their sharing Of the burden, they too
will be included. In the meantime the
Council very definitely feels that no
part Of the country should be restricted
just for the sake of restrictions, but
only as conditions of supply dictate"

Good Rurnors

Persistent rumors Of oil and gas
strikes by CarterNorthern Ordnance
frightened up the week in northern
Montana, the two wells east Of Kelvin
sunburst field holding the center Of at
tention.
One well in eastern Toole county
known as Kelvin State No. 1, NEH
NEA S6-36N-1 had enough oil show
ing at the Madison lime contact to
Justify running and eementing easing
and it is understood that il is to be
completed with cable tools, although
Il has already been drilled into the
hm1 with rotary mud. The contact was
9 ruek at 1883 and drilling continued
TO 1901, the core showing oil and gas
Casing WIS cemented at 1865 with so
sacks Of cement.
Gas WAS reported in Carter Northern
Ordnance Prodger No. l north Of Devon,
in SEA SEA 29-s5-2w, eoring basal
Kootenai from 1885 to 1906.
Two other operations were reported
ready for abandonment This cOmpany's
Campbell No. / in Teton county, SEA
NEA 5-26-7w, was drilled to 1925
after having Ellis-Madison contact at
1906 with a small show of oil. The
slumberger test did not indicate enough
saturation to justify aeidization or
other testing. This well is not far from
one drilled by California company,
years ago, which had enough oil at the
contact so that it was pumped for
several weeks.
This company's Jannusch No. /,
NEH SEX 1s-2s-7w, is waiting for
spudder to clean out and underream
preparatory to possible acidization.
Total depth is 1886 feet.
Meantime two new locations have
been made farther west, in this area,
in the hope Of finding the Cut Bank

Hough Tokes Bride

Warren Hongh OF Shelby became
a benedict this week, to the surprise
Of the oil field fraternity. The bride
is the former Della McNeilly Of
Phoenix, Ariz. In the wedding party
were Mr.. and Mrs. A. Beardslee, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles stalnakcr and Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Greenlee, all Of Shelby
Hough owns an auto court in Phoenix,
spending his winters handling that
business and his summers in aeidizing
oil wells in Montana. He was first
commercial acidizer in Montana, having
formed Montana Acid company in the
fall Of 1888. The Houghs win make
their home in Shelby.

LOW PRESSURE
SANDS FAIL TO
MAKE RESPONSE

Whether modern methods Of drilling,
eementing and gun perforating produc-
ing formations in w-pressure areas
win succeed in developing. production
is grave problem following failure
of A. b. Cobb's wildcat on Blaekleaf
structure to show even rainbow color
following 100 shots across the face Of
SO feet Of saturated formation.
Cores of the sand, identified as the
Cut Bank sand, indicated good satura-
ton but the owners wished to test
the top of the lime before testing the
Cut Bank. The well was drilled to
the lime, coring about eight feet Of
saturation. Casing was eemented with
800 sacks so that the Cut Bank sand
section was covered by the cement.
The Madison lime showed only sulphur
water when tested, so that hole was
bridged back to 1882. The gun per
forator revealed that the cement did
not set on the sand, as is expected in
saturated strata but only cement and
drilling mud ran back into the hole
following the shots, without so much
as a rainbow color Of oil.
However, the fact that the Cut
Bank sand is present and is saturated

to wilfred Nadeau, who spoke for gas
producers with no market, that the pro-

Nadeau said this effort had been unsuc
cessful.

Cut Bank producers also urged that
the @red lines dividing the gas area
and the oil area Of their field be re-
drawn TO take into consideration the

Crude Price
Will Advance
In 60 Days

An increase in the price of oil is
coming within the next 60 days.
This was the personal opinion ex-
pressed before group of Rocky Noun
tain oil operators by Don R. Knowlton,
Director of Production Of Petroleum
Administration for War, at Cut Bank
on Wednesday.
Mr.. Knowlton attended meeting Of
the Production Committee for District
4 Of PAW and brought the thrill of
new hope to discouraged prospectors
Of this region He urged Rocky Noun
tain operators to proceed with utmost
vigpr, saying that District 4 twill step
into It's own since It's reserves win
be urgently needed Cor the wax pro
gram. District 4 win help the whele
national situation, he said, by speeding
up the discovery and production Of
OIL
HMy opinion with regard to COM
ing increase in the price of oil is based
not alone on the necessity for higher
price to get exploratory drilling but
the fact that PAW has succeeded in
enlisting the help Of highest army and
navy officials who appreciate that there
is distinct danger if this country does
not quickly halt the downward trend

sands of Salt Greek.
The Zimmerman well was drilled by
the company which brought in the Hen
derson No. l Tensleep sand discovery
wen, tive and half miles south and
two miles east of the Zimmerman. 1t is
the second Tensleep well on the Mon
tana side. The first was Standolind-
Dengler No. /, which has drilled the
sand but has been delayed by a fishing
job, so no test has been made.
Whereas other producers have drilled
less than 100 feet into the Tensleep
sand, Yale Oil eompany's Mule Creek
Watson No. 1, lowest well, strueturally,
in the field, has thus far drilled 200
feet Of sand. The top 81 feet, which
showed evidence Of production of 1900
barrels per day or more, was eased off,
to explore the lower section. The bot
tom 113 feet this week tested 10 bar
rels per hour. The sand has saturation
throughout, with only occasional shale
breaks.
Another remarkable factor is the
lack of water in the bottom Of the sand
in the Watson well which is 1859 feet
lower, strueturally, than the discovery
wen. It is believed that Elk Basin may
produce 1900 to 1000 feet down the
flank of the west slope. The east slope
dips off much more rapidly It is prob
able, also, that production viii con-

In Liquor Raid
BY THE OUT EASTER

b Well bet some of our Waterbury
police would, for the time being at
least, rather be identified with the
New Britain Department than right
here in their own city.
Last night, in the Hartford Times,
was an interesting bit of informa-
ton on the procedure Of confis-
Gated liquor in the Hardware town.
Here Is what we found in the
New Britain column. to wit:
police Chief William c. Hart re-
ports the SO bottles of whiskey
seized in a liquor law violation case
recently have been sold to members
of the force at $3.50 each and the
money turned into the police pen
sion fund"
Waterbury cops have never had
a chance to bid in for the liquor
seized here. We have seen many
instances of raids and plenty Of rye
and scotch seized, but nary bit
went to the ordinary cop, or for that
matter to any one else.
The court as a rule, always ord
cred the liquor poured into the
sewer.
Perhaps, the scarcity Of the pre-
cious stuff has changed everything
about, and New Britain has now set
a precedent.

TRUCKS USED In
COAL SITUATION
Local Factories, City Yard
Put Machines in Service
to Meet Emergency

Several industrial concerns in
Waterbury yesterday furnished
trucks SO that workers in urgent
need Of coal would be able to OBJ
tain delivery. The American Brass
Company, Scovill Manufacturing
Company, Chase Brass and Copper
Company and Waterbury Clock
Company were concerns which or
ganized the special service.
A city truck also was used yes
terday to deliver coal in an emer-
gency case reported by a welfare
agency.
Coal supplies continue to be low,
1t was reported today, and dealers
are said to have felt no relief from
the shortage of manpower and
other difficulties in delivering the
product.
Shortage of fuel oil within the
next few weeks has been predicted
and state fuel administrators have
urged careful conservation Of the
supplies now on hand.
