W. Miller, who is at present at Sunburst, Mont., and who for the past two years has been active in trying to get capital interested in developing the oil structure lying immediately north of Hardin. He states that he will be in Hardin within 90 days to start drilling a deep test well. He mentions that he would like to have a few more leases from the land owners in the area north of Hardin. He states that he has a number of leases signed up and is going to make his promise good in getting a well down to test)tempt. the area. It is gratifying to feel that someone at last has launched a plan of development for this area which promises so well. but which has kg_en pa d during all these years of oil development in Montana. May e resuI* of this venture mean! Mr. Miller has worked hara to make the test a realization and has been on the job all the time. Jk sha_uld_ha.m...the port and assistance of everyone In Hardin and vicinity to put his development program over. All land owners who have been approached by him, but who have not yet signed up, ear/ encourage him immensely and speed up operations by leasing their land for his develoment. It will cost a good sum of money to make deep tests in this vi- cinity—that's why so many com- panies have passed the pro- position over. Mr. Miller has faith in this particular area and has spent a lot of time and money in working out a practi- cal plan by which he can carry out the development program. He states that although the Sunburst field has many wells BIRTHDAY PARTY IN We all know what an oil field at the very gates of Hardin would mean to the city. We all know what it would also mean to the landowners in the field. The an- nouncement made by E. W. Miller that he is going to drill a deep test well to prove there is oil within hailing distance of Hardin should be received as the best news we could look for now. Many companies have had scouts over this ground. All have expressed the opinion that it looks good. We will not go into the question why these companies have delayed in putting down a test. Mr. Miller believes that the time to make a test is now. If there are benefits to be reaped, now is the time to enjoy them. May he have all the assistance possible to make his test a success. He has not asked for any great assistance from the citizens of Hardin, but we know that a little assistance here and there which will help him to make rapid progress will be appreciated by him.
