Bigger cas ing was first necessary to get through an old lake bed. The bit was lost when the tools jumped the pin, « long fishing job following. The jars went nert, leaving he entire string of tools in the bottom of the bole. After get the proper fishing tools and bringing everything out of the hole the tools jumped another pin, while working a gas sand. Three slipsoc- kets were broken in fishing and 12 sets of jaws were pulled off, delaying the work for two weeks more. ‘The drilling was done for the greater part by a crew headed by S. V. Creger and including Roy Hurd, B. C. Hurd the late “Cy” Hurd, John Phea, Mat Lueck, W. H. Wagner and L. Lor- enzen. Shelby, Havre, Great Falls and Ke- ven as well as several other small communities in the northern part of Montana will be the first to feel the effect of the new ield according to members of commercial ¢lubs ‘nd similar organizations, who point out that Havre and Great Falls are the nearest largest cities while Shelby and Keven, have already felt the demand for additional accommodations, since the well came in. “While there are only stx rigs in the entire field now, I look for 60 by spring with the flow of oil in our first well either increasing or continuing. as it {s doing now,” Gorton Campbell dectares.
