FIRST "OIL WELL" IN N.E. MONTANA —by Burley Bowler, Publisher, Daniels County Leader The first crude oil found in Northeastern Montana was pumped from a water well, 28 feet deep, at the rear of a small restaurant owned by the late Hans Heinrichson at Whitetail, 16 miles northeast of Scobey. That was 25 years ago last spring. Because his wife complained that there were "greasy blobs in the water that made it unfit for use," Heinrichson borrowed an engine and pumpjack in an attempt to drain the well and clean it. After pumping only a couple of barrels of water almost pure crude oil began pouring from the spout. Curbing marks showed that about three feet of crude had gathered on top of the water. Many samples were sent tô oil companies which reported them to be genuine crude oil from which the gasoline content had practically all evaporated. Oil men opined that it had seeped in through a sand or gravel layer. Thorough investigations revealed absolutely no indication of tampering with the well. The owner was simply disgusted in the fact that his good water well was ruined, and would have nothing to do with the Whitetail Oil Syn dicate which soon formed and leased about 100,000 acres of land in the area. An ancient style drill and a wooden derrick were acquired and a hole drilled to a depth of about 2,500 feet about three blocks from the restaurant. Various small gas pockets were en countered. Lack of finances during the 1930's put an end to the drilling operations. As yet there has been no further attempt to make a deep test in the Whitetail vicinity, although several major companies have acquired thousands of acres in oil leases there.
