and the Alfred Tango farm near
Redstone His final visit was on

leaders conferences in western
Montana.
While in Montana he also had
an opportunity to attend the
State All Club congress at Mon
tana State College.
Commenting IN the All club
program in this country, Marcelo
said he believes there is a real
place in Ecuador for farm youth
organization of a similar nature
since there are no organized
rural youth groups in his coun-
try. All, he said, gives young
people a chance to learn new
things in farming and home
making
At home Marcelo lives on a
300 acre farm on which barley
and potatoes are the principal
crops. Twenty Holstein cows
are MIXED. Since winters are
mild, he said, the dairy animals
are on alfalfa or grass pastures
the year around although some
farmers in less temperate areas
! bale alfalfa for winter feed.

Morning Gun Well
Plugged as Failure

In brief announcement
from Union Oil Company
headquarters in Los Angeles.
abolished in the daily papers
Saturday Of last week. II was
stated that the now famed
Morning Gun we'll. seven miles
southwest Of Browning, had
been plugged and abandoned
as non.prodveins discovery.
The final announcement was
M surprise to those who have
watched the progress at the well
for months with breathless in
terest.
After reaching the top of the
Madison lime, at around 10000
feet, a heavy flow of gas was
hit which blew in with much
excitement, and it was generally
believed that the venture had
proved a success, and new and
perhaps immense gas field, COM
parable to the Pincher Creek
field north of the Canadian
border, had been discovered.
Drilling was continued into the
Madison lime, and later on a
big flow of high grade distillate
fluid without any signs of water,
had been encountered. Then
further drilling and testing con-
tinued, but no definite announce
ments were ever made by the
company as to results. The test
ing and efforts to complete the
well as a producer. continued for
weeks, and while no official an
nouncements were made, it was
generally believed that some
thing happened in the process of
completing the well that could
not be corrected, and final an
nouncement of the abandon
ment of the we'll was quite gen.
orally expected.
The start of the Morning Gun
test followed an active campaign
Of leasing in the area along the
mountain front, not only by the
Union Oil Company. but by a
number of other major oil COM
panies. and a seismographing
campaign in which vast sums of
money were spent by all the
companies interested.
On January 18th, 1855. the
Morning Gun was spudded in
with elaborate ceremonies, in
which the president of the Union
Oil Company, the governor of
Montana, and many notables of
the oil industry in Montana par
tcipated, and the venture was
launched with high hopes of Sue
cess and perhaps the greatest
publicity ever given a spudding
in ceremony in the northwest.
Total cost of the venture has
never been announced, but be-
fore commencement it was esti-
mated the operation would cost
more than half million dollars.
Total time consumed in the op-
Grafton, from the spudding in
ceremony to the final announce
ment of abandonment, was more
than eight months.
The announcement does not
mean that the mountain front
area is to become dormant. The
Union is now drilling another
deep test near Heart Butte, and
other of the major companies
Will no doubt start drilling cam
palgns early next spring. A big
lease sale is scheduled for No
Vember 30th, this year, when
nearly. 10000 acres of leases,
mostly tribal land, will be put
up at auction at competitive
bidding sale in Browning. The
outcome of this sale may indi-
cate, to some extent, what the
immediate future for the noun
taln front area holds in store.
The final result of the Morn
ing Gun test is of course disap-
pointing, but the fact that it is
class as a non-producing discov-
cry provides grounds for high
hopes for future developments
In this big. promising area.
