Fuel Oil Slump
Forces 6. n. r. r.
TO Coal Burners

A pronounced slump in Kevin-Sun-
burst crude oil production, immediate
" traceable to the severe weather
conditions, has broughr about a sit
uation that has made necessary a. re-
turn to coal burning locomotives by
the Great Northern railway on a num-
Der of runs out Of Great Falls, it be
came known Thursday A consider
able amount of coal has been moved
INTO this territory from Fernie, B. g.,
by the Great Northern for it's own
use, and Thursday contract was let
for the delivery Of 400 tons Of coal
weekly from tle Colone-Johnson min
at Belt.
Weather conditions have brought
the daily run Of oil from the Kevin
sield down to 10000 barrels a day,
It was stated in Great Falls Thurs
day evening by Il M. Kiplinger of
Shelby, representative of the Ohio
OIL company, and there is little pros
Dsct for an enlargement until there
S something resembling a permanent
moderation.
Slump Due to Weather
The field will come back Nj
xiplinger said. The present slump
IS entirely due to weather conditions
There have been no freeze-ups of. the
illinois pipe line, but on the leases
conditions have become such that it is
impossible to produce the normal
maximum Most of the trouble is in
the freezing up Of engines used in
or for other purposes at the
wells and the inability of the oper-
ators to maintain production at the
usual rate under winter conditions.
Operating officials Of the Great
could not be reached Thurs
day evening, but it is understood
that a number of oil burner locomo-
tiyes used on the Butte division will
be reconyerted into coal burners, and
that coal will be used on part of
the runs out Of here until the fuel
oil supply is permanently restored It
has not been learned whether coal
viii be used other than that from the
Cottonwood mines. at Stockett and
