MOUNTAIN AREA
ACTIVITY GETS
NEW APPRAISAL

Commencing on page Al of
the March 10 issue of the Oil e.
Gas Journal of Tulsa is an inter-
esting article by Charles j.
Deegan, vigorous Exploratory
Play Focuses Attention on
Rocky Mountain Area"
It is the first of a scheduled series
of three articles and contains as
illustrative material map by G. E.
Dobbin of the U. S. G. S., showing
main structural features in the
Rocky Mountain region, including
all of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado,
and a portion of Utah.
Deegan's explanation for current
interest in the region along the
Rocky Mountains is summed up in
his opening paragraph, in which he
says II is due TO successes in find
ing oil"
Illustrative of the mounting ac-
tivity in the region, the article
points out that Is geopl1ysical crews
operated in the region in 1941, as
compared with approximately 20
such crews in 1914. This points up
his assertion that the new major
angle in development of the region
is the expanding use of geophysical
instruments in solving the riddle of
the subsurface.

Previously, the concern had taken
over another block of more than
100000 acres in an area extending
from IS to 40 miles north Of the
border and directly north Of the
Sweetgrass Hills, to a width of
about 20 miles.
The company has drilled one De

80 miles north of the east edge of
the Sweetgrass Hills, and is now
making hole at past $3.50 feet in an
other, only "a miles north of the

Etllridge Test
To Be Drilled
By I'll. NJ. Kluth

One of the most interesting
locations In recent months was
made this week by III. Nj. Kluth,
Shelby independent, three and
half miles north of Ethridge,
and roughly midway between
the Cut Bank and Kevin-Sun-
burst gas areas.
The location picked by Kluth is
on the Lewis ranch, in NE NE NE
21-34N-4W.
What makes it of extreme inter-
est to operators is the proximity of
this well to two others that found
showings that may not have been
properly evaluated.
Three miles northeast of the
Kluth location, Rice Medelia-Schu-
Ter No. l, in Sc Sc NV 2-34N-4W,
