Drilling ON what has been mapped
as the Hagan structure on the
Blackfeet Indian reservation, this
well is arousing extreme interest
because it had no water to its last
reported depth of 1866 feet, though
wells in. the regionally- higher ada
cent Cut Bank field find water in
shallow horizons Further adding
to interest in this Wildcat has
had numerous gas shows on the
way down, and these are continuing.
Though these flows are trifling in
volume, it is believed they may be
of considerable significance in in
dicating a structural trap.
This well repeatedly got the top
of the red beds (Kootenai) at 3125
feet, though this figure has not been
positively verified.
Allowing for a thickening of for
nation in this area, west of the
crest of the Sweetgrass Arch, it is
estimated the first possible pay
zone, the Sunburst sand, will be
topped at from $3.50 to 3475. 1t is
planned to run finch pipe above
the Sunburst
The Cut Bank sand is expected
just below the Sunburst and the
top of the Madison limestone with

first and strongest reaction to this
report is that If Mr. Judd and his
associates had given one-hah the
consideration to the study of these
reports for the purpose of obtaining
valuable information that he did
give to the study of why he should
not even look at the information re-

he devoted to showing his amaz-

distributed pages of a current

and returning to the stage he de
scribed any page about which

A trick which he has used

having a member of the audience
hide his check for the evenings
performance while he himself
was outside the auditorium.
Promising that if he failed to find
the check he would ask nothing
for the show, he took a member
of the audience, asked her to

check and walked unerringly to
