DIVIDENDS
FROM OIL
MOUNTING

Cash dividend payments by lead
ing oil companies on their common
stocks will set a record this year.
Dividends for "a companies viii
total in excess of S295, 00, 0O0O-an
increase Of 1877 compared with
1913.
Previous record payments by
these companies were in 1887 when
they disbursed an aggregate of
$3.50 100000 In 1913 the total was
$3.50. O00,0O
Profits of the industry this year
have been running well ahead OF
1913 as evidenced by the fact that
for .25 companies reporting for the
first nine months show an increase
of better than 23eo compared with
the similar period a year ago. Only
three companies had smaller net
income this year and these were
primarily producing companies
which materially expanded their
drilling operations and charged the
costs to their current operations.
Before these charges, however,
their gross and net profits were
higher than in 1943
OF the "a companies, 13 have pro-
vided for the payment OF larger
dividends this year One has auth
orized a smaller disbursement in
cash but has paid a 1919 dividend
in stock.
The largest single disbursement
is that of Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey which paid total of $3.50 a
share entailing an aggregate cash
pavment of S6S, 100000 compared
with 50 or So. 500 900 in 1913. The
Texas Co. ranked second, paying
out $3.50 a share or S28, 100000
against 81 or S21, ZOO, 900 in 1913.

Interest


cline, as far as the top Of the Madi-
son lime is concerned, Is several
miles from the surface structural
high" The Union well, to be
drilled to approximately 5000 feet,
is scheduled to test the Dev0nian
unless commercial production is
found in the Madison.
Northwest of the block held by
the Union, General Pet has been
leasing actively, also following ex-
tended work by seismograph par
ties.
Still further northwest, in an
area ranging southeast from the
Canadian line, the Carter has been
seismographing and leasing in the
area embracing the Milk River anti
cline, and extending some distance
southeast, on the Blackfeet Indian
reservation.
While the Unions precedent may
result in more Devonian tests in the
area, operators are also profoundly
interested IN Madison lime possibil-
tiles, mindful of the results found
in Alberta's Turner Valley to the
north.
None of the projected operations,
outside of the Unions wildcat, are
expected to get under way by
spring, but those who have been
watching developments believe re-
suits may usher in new era in the
northern Montana oil search.
A lot put it simply:
"Cut Bank and Kevin-Sunburst
have yielded SO much oil there must
be lot more of 1t around, some
place close.

FISHING JOB DELAYS
BIRCH CREEK WILDCAT

Billings Oil & Gas Company is
sponsoring a new wildcat on Broad
view dome, about Is miles north
west of Billings, on the Murray
ranch in 13-3N-22E. The well has
spudded and will be drilled with
cable tools. It is few miles west
of a test carried to more than 5000
feet by the Broadview Petroleum
Corporation. This test found some
promising oil showings that failed
to respond to treatment, and is now
reported standing.
