Four More Companies Will Move
Tools into The Field Soon. The
Future of Garber as an Oil Town is
Now Staple.
Oil Notes
Moat of the wildcat wells are shut
down for one thing and another.
Waiting for casing is the most com-
mon complaint. Seme wells need
water. It looks like many of the wei'i
are wailing an one another.
Our "fence" around the Murry well
is a mistake- This well by the Umph-
reys people on the se 17-24 1 west, east
of Billings, is open to the pulilic. Our
report of last week did not come
through our usual re;:ab'", soot* but
we vere s'"e our imformant was
correct
People hern were slow to believe the
report that the Whitney got the oil.
Revival Meeting
Evangelist W. IS Dunlap of Siloam
Springs, Arkansas, has been secured
to hold revival services for the Metho-
dist church. The meeting is now in
progress and we hereby extend a
cordial invitation to every one to
attend. Services will contiuue to the
15, Bro. Dunlap is a great preacher
and very interesting. You will be
well repaid for coming to hear him.
W. S. Franklin, Pastor.
Well, I have a little mare t"
L
"-.Hie
I want SS200 for 'her but would take
8100. She is 4 years old. Also have a
top buggy and harness lhat I could be
persuaded to swap for a Ford. Eight
months ago I paid S100 for the horse
And are slow to comprehend what it I 842 for the buggy and 85 for the
means to the town It is the biggest
thing for Garber since the Hoy No. 1
began to flow
The following article was up In type
before the Whitney well got the oil:
The shallow producing oil wells
south of Garber are all close to the
dome of a very distinct anticlinal
folding. While this auticline is large,
covering several sections, east and
west, and north and south, none of the
well established oil companies, acting
on the advise of their high salaried
corp of geologists and experts, took
steps that indicate i-ny belief that the
shallow oil covered much acreage. In
other words geology does not point to
the existance of a very large shallow
lieid. Geology pointed out the most
likely point to drill here and Dud oil.
And oil was found. While only the
drill can define the Held after one well
has found the sand dry on the sides of
the anticline the geologists can niakn
a very good calculation to the extend
of the production. This has little to
do with the deeper oil sands that may
be below. While It is expected that a
couple of hundred or more shallow
wells will be brought in the shallow
Held has beeu expected to extend two
or three miles in any direction. The
big companies expect this production
to be confined to close to the dome of
the antielioe,
harness. Paid. 85 for repairing the
harness, S5 repairing the buegy and
So per month to keep the horse iu
good repair. Want 8125 for the outfit
or would swap for a herd of cattle —

The Whitney well got the shallow
oil Tuesday night. This extends the
field north two miles and one half east
It brings it to three miles south and
one east of Garbir, The well belongs
to the Sinclair Oil & Gas company and
is on the northwest corner re 18 22-3
west, John Whitney farm. It is the
most important development siuce the
discovery well gut the sand on the
Hoy farm, end practically proves an
extention to the field of over 1000
aires.
There are several coiiflictiin state
ments given out as to the exajt depth
of this well. Here is the one that
will likely stand unless another well
shows it up different: Sand at 1240
to 1260. One statement gives it 40 feet
if sand. Another statement is to the
i-lf'ect that they are still in the sand
The test of the well makes it look
as good as the best producers on the
any gas with the oil the well is not
(l iving. It was left stand an hour
and six bailers of oil were brought out.
Some of the bailers were full The
12-lnch bailer holds about two-barrels.
At the time there were 16 feet of cav-
ing in the bottom of the hole,
The oil is being cased off today and
the >veH will bs drilled deeper. This
hole is in fine shape for a deep test,
The loj^-inch casing is seated to 1100
feet, and 7 inches—Very likely the
loi gest string of this largo pips in
Oklahoma or Kansas. The rig is
extreemely heavy and the limbers are
seated in cement. Should not deeper
production be found the well will be
uacked up to the shallow sand
Crews Farm
The Sinclair Oil & Gas company on
the Crews farm, in tue southwest car-
ner sw 19 22 3 west, is being drilled in
creek bottom but as there is hardly | today and is showing for a goodwell,

EXPECT TO SAW A WHOLE CORD AT ONCE.
HE DIDN'T EXPECT TO MAKE A WHOLE FORTUNE
AT ONCE. BUT HE BEGAN WITH A LITTLE DEPOSIT
IN THE BANK AND PILED UP A FORTUNE ALMOST BE-
FORE HE KNEW IT,
LOOK AT THE MEN WHO SAID NOTHING AND "SAW-

Somebody's toes gels trawiped upon
every time au oil reporter gives an
opinion. If he reports a well a duster
In a sand somebody with holdings
nearby will jump up and yell that the
well had a good showing of oil and
would likely be a producer if it was
shot. Should the reporter say that the
duster evidently headed off production
in that directiou business for the re-
porter picks up—that he will be
furnished with dope euough to till
