The location for the deep test well at Blackdom south of this city has just been made. This well will be drilled a quarter of a mile west of Blackdom and the derrick is now under construction. The well will be put down by a California syndicate, represent here by Verne Lincoln. A rotary rig will be used to go the first 1,000 feet and excellent progress is expected.
