$4,000 Grazing
Fees Paid Out

Approximately S185, 900, repre-
senting tribute to members of the
Blackfeet tribe for the use of
their grazing land in various
sections of the Blackfeet reserva-
ton, was distributed during the
latter part of last week. Practi-
cally all of them had been recip-
tents by the end of the week.
Some of the evidence that
the huge payment was being
made was quite imposing
and, in fact, suggested that
profitable grazing" was
being done upon the grazing
fees.
Last Sunday evening, according
to records, II souls had made
the paddy wagon trip to the
sobriety cell. Everything went
off without incident, however. 1t
was simply that some folks
happened to escape the paddy
wagons magic eye, and remained
at large. ~

Barnes Test Well
On Douglas Place
To Be Resumed

Douglas Barnes, who spent
several months here in 1858
experimenting drilling operations
on the Douglas ranch, northwest
of Browning, was a visitor in
Browning last week, making
arrangements to resume drilling
on the large lease block held by
a syndicate of west coast capital
lists in an area that has since
came prominently into play as
one of the favorable locations
along the mountain front south
of the Canadian border.
The Douglas ranch, on which
the drilling site is located, is in
Township SO North, Range IL
West, only short distance north
of the Babb road, about twenty
miles northwest of Browning.
The syndicate, of which Barnes
was manager, started drilling
on block of some 10000 acres in
what later became one of the
"hot" spots along the mountain
front. After drilling to depth of
some 1900 feet, the chief geo.
logist for the concern, ordered
drilling stopped and the outfit
was moved to new location
some one-half mile south of the
original drilling site, and drilling
was continued on this new loca-
ton until nearly Christmas time,
1858. At that time, drilling
operations ceased on account of
winter conditions closing in, and
it was expected that the we'll
would be completed early in 1854.
However, no drilling was
started in 1854, and the test
remained uncompleted all during
last year.
1t is understood that the lease
agreement will expire some time
early this spring, and unless
work is started before July first,
the lease agreement will expire.
While Mr.. Barnes made no
definite commitments while in
Browning last week, it is under.
stood that he is making arrange,
ments to move on drilling equip
ment and complete the test this
year.
The location of the Barnes
test on the Douglas ranch is
near acreage that brought a
rather high figure last year, when
several of the major oil COM
panies were competing for mount
ain front acreage.
If the Barnes test is resumed,
it is expected that it will 60
down to sufficient depth to
determine the full possibilities
of that section, and if successful,
will undoubtly touch off a vast
drilling campaign north of
Browning to the Canadian border.
