Union to Drill


The acreage involved lies In a
large irregular block "a miles wide
from east to west at a point six
miles north of the border. and IA
miles wide at the border. Its great
est length, on north-south line,
is 80 miles.
In Alberta, the block extends from
Range 7w4 20 Range 11w4, and from
Township IN 10 Township 6 north.
The part of the block that touches
the Montana border runs from the
eastern edge of Range 4 east TO the
center of Range z east, in Montana.
This is roughly from the northeast
ern corner of the Whitlash field to
a point north and east of the Flat
C0uiee and Bears Den fields The
block La wider than that, however,
at q distance of four miles north
of the border, where it runs west
ward for an additional IL miles, ex-
tending In that direction to point
north of the center of Range east,
on the Montana side of the line.
The drilling program is under
stood to include plan for four
wells, to be managed by McColl-
Frontenac.
Negotiations that led TO consum-
nation of the deal were conducted
by Earl Croker, for more than 20
years prominently identified with
the Montana oil industry, and re-
Gently active In Canadian Oil circles.
Concerning geological aspects of
the area, NickIe says:
Geological and geophysical work
was done by McColl-Frontenac in
the area involved in the new pro-
gram, during 1874 and 1945. This
company drilled two deep tests on
the Pinhorn block In 1914, discover.
ing gas--in some sections, bearing
a little oil-in formations down tc
the Devonian. The 1000 acre lease
block resulted from that drilling Ir
the spring of 1945 McCoIl- FrontenaC
acquired the 10000 acres of reser
walton extending north from Pin
horn, and during the past year car
ried out geological and geophysica
investigation. So far as drilling Il
concerned, the reserved area is vir
gin-only well drilled on the blocl
being shallow (815-ft) test drilled
thirty years ago.

the Geological survey.
The map, which has been in ad-
miuistrative use in the Survey for
many wears, has been made avail
able TO the public because Of the
current interest in oil and gas
possibilities in Wyoming.
The map, which is based on field
work of 1913-1914, has been pub
lished essentially in its original
form. Subsequent changes in forma-
ton names are shown by column
mar section that compares present
usage with that prevailing at the
time the map was made.
Several oil and gas fields have
been discovered in the northern
and eastern parts OF the area shown
on the map, and many unSucceSs-
full test wells have been drilled on
anticlines in several parts of 1t. Adj

the output is controlled by military
government. The Russians have
been noted for stripping the plants
of equipment and in fact have moved
whole plants back to Russia.
A standard procedure in all
factories is to have one or two floors
underground. An example is at
Berlin's magnificent Tempelhof
Airport where there are two and
three stories underground. 1t is
here that part of the underground
floors were turned into an assembly
line for their FW 100 fighters. Other
plants have been equipped with
numerous gas tight doors in the
basement. Some plants had moved
their records and patents to the
basement to protect against the
bombings. Whether these places
were built with the idea of protec-
| ton in mind or whether that is
simply common practice is not
| known.
Few Germans Able to Work
The civilian labor situation is ex-
tremely poor. 90ao of the male
workers actually employed are either
too old physically to work or have
been shattered mentally and are of
little value. Once in a while you
get young man who was in the
army and he will be an excellent
worker. A real effort is made to
allow no former Nazi a job.
Some time ago purge of the
Nazis in the railroads resulted in
firing so many that the operation of
the railroads was questionable for
lack of personnel. The roads have
continued to operate, however. The
recuperative powers of Germany
based on these conditions is at a
very low ebb. The future is certain
ly not rosey for those destined to
stay here the rest of their lives.
All through Germany displaced
persons are seen travelling aimlessly
from one spot to another, all walk
ing or hitching a ride. Those think
ing they would find something in
Berlin were sadly disappointed. They
are not given rations for longer than
"a hours and in fact were ordered
not to come to Berlin unless they
had relatives who could support them
or had previously lived here. The
condition of these people is most
appalling.
| AS for rebuilding Berlin, the job
will extend over many decades. Much
| has been done to clean up the city
all done by women workers gener-
ally using their bare hands but oc-
casionally fortunate enough to have
a shovel. Their job has been to
clear the streets and pile the rubble
in neat piles.
Of Berlin's some two dozen
bridges, all but three have either
been knocked out or demolished by
the Germans. A great deal of work
is required on these bridges. The
streets are needing more and more
care as travel increases. Nothing
has been started to fix the shattered
buildings. All of these things re-
quire material and machinery, which
Berlin, or Germany for that matter,
just does not have. Eventually it
is possible that new city can arise
but until then, Berlin will just be a
city of shambles.
