Decker-Coline Oil Well Damaged by Water Flow in Lewistown
In Lewistown on June 15 the Decker-Coline oil well, once billed as the county’s biggest find, was damaged by a heavy water inflow after a sterling oil show. The company plans to ease the flow and move to the next sand, with Star drilling outfits to be spudded in. The Mid-Northern subsidiary of Mid-West has five geologists checking holdings of the Home Oil taken over, and expects the Winifred well to be drilled if checks are satisfactory. Large-scale Montana summer school opened with instructors from across the state and national specialists, while Liverpool harbor dredging since 1890 has removed nearly 300 million tons of sand.
