Foster company is drilling in the Koo-
tenai at 3.s42 feet in the Lake Basin
district of Montana and is drilling in
oil according to latest reports, Cav
ings have almost blocked the hole out
oil is seeping through and there is
some gas present which lead the
drillers TO believe that they are near
ing the producing horizon. In the
event that this sand does not produce
in commercial quantities the company
is prepared TO go to lower sands which
are known to exist at that point and
which are expected to show good pro
duction when tapped. Preparations
are being made for \ new test six
miles due south Of this location which
will test out the Eagle sand in which
showings were encountered in the
deep hole but cased off. This may also
develop into a deep test IL the Eagle
does not carry sufficient production.
