  • GEOLOGY and OIL and GAS PROSPECTS of the HUNTLEY FIELD, Montanj
    GEOLOGY AND OIL AND GAS PROSPECTS OF THE HUNTLEY FIELD, MONTANj By E. T. HANCOCK. INTRODUCTION. The Huntley field is in Yellowstone and Big Horn counties, south- central Montana, and embraces an area of about 650 square miles, part of which lies northwest and part southeast of Yellowstone River. The field has railroad facilities that are exceptionally good for this general region, being traversed by the main lines of the Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroads. These roads furnish excellent shipping facilities at Huntley, Warden, Ballantine, Pompeys Pillar, and other points. Acknowledgments. In presenting this report the writer desires to express his thanks to David White for valuable suggestions and criticisms, to T. W. Stanton and F. H. Knowlton for the identifica­ tion of fossils, and to C. E. Dobbins for assistance in the detailed mapping. He also wishes to call attention to the public service rendered by oil and gas operators who have furnished records of deep borings and by individuals who have contributed in various ways to the success of the investigation. Earlier investigations. The Huntley field is in reality an ex­ tension of the Lake Basin field, which was mapped by the writer during the summer of 1916.1 The geologic investigation of the region including the Lake Basin and Huntley fields began with the Northern Transcontinental Survey of 1882. Prior to that time geologists had described certain struc­ tural features and the stratigraphic succession at points closely ad­ jacent to these fields, such as Judith Gap, the canyon of the North Fork of the- Musselshell, and the Bridger Range, but almost noth­ ing had been written concerning the geology of the area herein de­ scribed.

Bibliography 2 It has generally been understood that Glacier National Park (GNP) has a 10,000 year culture history as implied by the archeological record of GNP, park brochures, numerous publications (Reeves 2003), and governmental, corporate, and private web sites (nps.gov, Wikipedia.com, fcvb.org). However, this presumption is based upon a very weak record of Paleoindian occupation within park boundaries represented by two isolated, surface discoveries, and three typologically non-diagnostic, non-stratified basalt knives. Of the three represented ‘sites’, only one potentially represents Alpine land use within GNP and may or may not be related to Paleoindian activities. This paper examines this lone Paleoindian alpine site in order to extract a logical explanation of its deposition and to offer up possible evidence of early human occupation in one of the more remote and inaccessible regions of GNP.

INTRODUCTION The Maxville has been an important source of limestone for more than 100 years in southern and east central Ohio where it was first utilized for mortar and for furnace flux. Probably for this rea~on outcrops of a limestone later shown to be Maxville in age were described by Briggs in 1838 who noted occurrences near Maxville, Perry County; on Three Mile Run near Logan in Hocking County; near Reeds Mills near Wellston, Jackson County; and at the Canter Quarry in Hamilton Township, Jack- son County.1 Further obser.vations of this limestone were made by E. B. Andrews of the Second Geological Survey of Ohio and his report was published in the Report of Progress in 1869. Andrews named the lime- stone the Maxville for its occurrence near Maxville, Hocking County, noted its patchy distribution on the outcrop, described its stratigraphic position as immediately overlying the Logan sandstones ana shales, and declared the limestone to be of sub-Carboniferous (Mississippian) age.

Mined and Especially Manufactured by -^THE PEIUL MINING GOMPANY,^- ROSE CLARE, HARDIN COUNTY, ILLINOIS, For the immediate use of all Metal Workers , comprising Smelting and Refining Works, Brass and Copper Works, Car Wheel Works, Sewing Machine Works, Stove Works, Glass and Chemical Works, Agricultural Works, OR WHEREVER METAL OF ANY KIND IS SMELTED OR CASTINGS MADE. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Gentlemen : —Your close attention is earnestly invited to this new and powerful flux, endorsed by all chemists as the most searching and most favorable mineral ever discovered for the reduction and purification of metals. Our mines produce it in its purest state and without adulteration, and as it is only manufactured so as to be in the best condition for your use, we respectfully ask you to give it a trial. Kluor Spar, when exposed to heat, sends forth fumes of the most powerful fluxing, searching, purifying kind known to science, and these fumes, coming into contact with the silicates and impurities in metals, drives them out. Phosphorus and sulphur, that bllfjbear to all metals, is volatilized at once and passes off, leaving a clean, clear residue which flows without hindrance or obstruction until the last ounce of metal contained in the charge is withdrawn.
