Colorado Letter. Decatur Democrat. Decatur. Ind.. Dear Sir: I thought perhaps a few lines from here might interest some of you. Our oil wells at Boulder City are not turning out cil as fast as some thought. Out of thirty three oil wells that are down over 2500 feet only three produce oil to ship. Os course some have oil in as well as gas. There are over sixty other wells' at work but are not so deep. There are none of the wells abandoned are dry wells. We have not struck oil as yet but are at work; the company sav they will go down four thousand feet or strike oil. I see by the papers in your city that there is quite an exit from your county of people who are coming west. If they do they had better bring enough’grub along to last them two years at least, we have had no rain to wet the ground one inch since last June. You see we are dry and unless there is plenty of rain this month we will come east where there is plenty of water. Well it is thundering now. I hope it will rain. Youra as ever, J. M. Stults.
