Drilling Activity
lis Started
On Mosser Dome

Announcement was made to-
day by officials of the Shell
burn Oil Co, Inc, that they
had spudded in for a Madison
test on MoSSer Dome, which is
located 80 miles southeast OF
Billings.
The company, with head
quarters in Hardin is made up
of mostly Hardin and Billings
investors. This is their third
try for oil on MoSser Dome,
having drilled two previous
shallow wells in April.
The first we'll encountered
oil in the Mosser sands, but
water developed which made it
impractical to produce without
further corrective steps. The
second hole was a buster, but
enough geological information
has evidently been gathered to
Justify the present venture.
The company had been busy
during the past 60 days block
ing up extensive acreage on
the structure, which will aug
ment their holdings consider
ably.
The Mosser dome is pro-
ducing a considerable volume of
oil from six existing wells at a
shallow depth of less than 1000
feet. Up to the present time no
deep test has been made. It
has long been recognized as a
definite structure and conse-
quently men in oil circles in
this part of the country will be
watching this play with a great
deal of interest.

that if it came, Russia would
win.
"As soon as we develop the

seven agents to America, each
with an atomic bomb in a
suitcase. They will set off their
bombs simultaneously in the
great cities. That will finish the
war"
I'VE couldn't do it," said the
second Russian. !

shall have the atomic bombs?'
