Tiny, APEE Yo, verr Che Gasper Daily Cridune PAGE FIVE WMRKET GOSSIP AND FELD NENS ~NEW BOLTON GREEK WELL FLOWS Well No. 9 drilled by the Iowa-Wyoming Oil company in the Bolton field has developed such big production from the shallow sand in the field that it is probable that the deep test for which the well was originally intended will be abandoned. A 10-inch hole was carried into the Sundance formation at 1,070 feet. The oil filled the hole in less than 24 hours and flowing. Arrangement started a ts wer: made to take care of the flow by throwing up a temporary dyke to re- tain the off until vided. It is said that flowed @ steady one-Inch stream since it was drilled in a week Plans ar enow under way t6 skid the rig from the shallow well in an en- degvor to get past the Sundance for- vation to the Embar formation which has proven productive at a lower level. Test for Fowler Dome, A. M. Barringer, a Wyoming oper- ator, has started a lest on the SW%4 of section 20-30-1 W., in the north- eastern corner of Pondera county, Montana, close to the Great Northern railroad and 60 miles north of Great Falls, on what has been designated as the Fowler dome. This is the first test actually to start on the Sweet- grass arch. Barringer and associates have leased more than 20,000 acres. * Citizens of Great Falls and Conrad turned out en masse to witness the spudding in of the well. Willow Creek to Be Explored. The Willow Creek structure, located 8 to 15 miles west of Choteau, near the center of Teton county, Montana. is to be given a thorough test this year. The principal acreage on this structure war withdrawn by the gov- ernment in 1917, and has just been opened for prospecting by the leas- ing law. The Petroleum Exploration company, composed of “the Sisters. ville crowd,” «which originally devel- oped the first production in the Big Horn basin in Wyoming, has a large acreage on the structure consisting of leases on patented ground and of per- mits and has ;noved three rigs into the field. One of these is a standard which. will put down a deep test on the NE% of the NE\% of the NW\% of 24-24-7W-. Inland Well 5; In.

Transporation companies are hav- ing steamers and barges built for op- erations on the Athabasca, Slave, Paece and Mackenzie rivers and the Great Slave lake. One company is having lumber shipped to Fort Smith north of-here on the Slave river, for the construction of a barge, using oil burning engines. The oil would be obtained from Fort Norman where a well, gushing 1,000 barrels an hour, was brought in recently. , Scores of applications for charters to do business in Alberta and points north show that capital is taking no little interest in the new field. New companies are being organized dally here and in other Canadian cities. Sev- gnteen are reported to have been in- corporated in Toronto alone, and ad- vices from Montreal and Vancouver show equal eagerness in those places, By far the greatest activity is cen- tered at Fort McMurray, on the Athabasca river, north of Edmonton. With fifty teams working in 24-hour shifts moving stores over the twenty miles that separates Fort McMurray from the railroad, great piles of freight aré being erected, awaiting shipment into the oil country. A feverish energy is being dis- played and more than 800 tons of freight {s piled indis:riminately on the right of way of the waterways terminal and the volurne grows stead. ily as each train brings in aliditional supplies. The hundred invabitants of Fort McMurray are virtually all en- gaged in assisting in the movement of the shipments. Many companies have their own outfits moving their freight while every privately owned team that can be employed is on the job. Nearly every conceivable commodity is included in the heterogeneous piles of freight around the terminals, ‘though heavy drilling machinery and saw mill and engine supplies are chiefly in evidence. The bulk of this tonnage must be moved to the Jand- ing on Athabasca for transportation to the Arctic oil zone before warm weather softens the ice roads over the muskegs. Otherwise transporta- tion will bo held up until the road Gries out. Labor at Fort McMurray is an un- certain quantity ‘and jobs are going begging at $6 a day, With the open- ing of summer, however, the men now engaged in fur trapping will be avail. able, oo . jsend. expected at 500 feet. pected to yiell which: 4% ready market at Lead, 8. D., where the big ‘mine is lo- cated. This mining company has en- deavored for several years to obtain oil for fuel and ts understood to be especially interested in this opera- tion. The company uses coal for fuel at present and its bill runs mere than $700,000 a year for that item alone. The test is located five miles north- east of the town of Sturgis. Cat Creck Crude. A .fest of the crude from Frantz No. 2 in the Cat Creek field, recently mage by W. I. Ballard, Montana state oll inspector, showed 84 per cent gaso- line content, ¢ per cent kerosene, 2 per cent asphalt and the remainder lubricants with a pezaffin base. Bal- lard says that the test of Cat Creek crude first made by him was so high in gasoline content that he declined to make the rerulls public, being unable to believe that it was made from fair samples. Zhree tests were subsequent- ly mads from crude which he had personally taken from the well. — NEBRASKA APPOINTMENTS. WASHINGTON, April 19.—Senator Norris of Nebraska announced today that the Nebraska Republican con- gressional delegation had agreed to recommend the following Nebraska appointments: Federal district attorney—James C.

Buyers know it. Instead of immediate Dan ress SG Nos I. B, Fran- tt deliveries an increasing nurnber find they must wait. ; Total stocks of Hudsons, than two cars per dealer. Our own spring demand must be met from such small stocks as everywhere in the country, average less we had the foresight to get during the slack season past. Note What You Save Now we see better than ever|before what hold Hudson quality has among motor car users. The present market is selective. Hence the emphasis of Hudson valte. Its cost advantage gives $1000 or more saving against any car to which you compare Hudson quality, reliability and performance. Perhaps you hold Hudson the great- ‘ est of all cars. Surely, in many respects, you acknowledge this is so. ’ For instance the Super-Six motor. it is exclusive to Hudson. For five years it has been the master has been developed to,match its effi- ciency and endurance. It practically annuls vibration. The smoothness which results is appreciated not only in riding ease., It means absence of strain, and friction. Repair freedom and a long life car results. It accounts for Hudson’s five years of sales leadership. And if you plan to buy soon, bear in mind that deliveries are already diffi- cult and stocks must be even more - * fimited as the season progresses. R. N.
