A contract between the Blackdom Oil Company and a large mid-continent drilling company signed this morning which calls for a deep test well at Blackdom south of this city on what is known as the Blackdom dome.
The terms of this contract provide that drilling must commence within 60 days from today and that well must be drilled to a depth of at least 3500 feet unless oil in paying quantities is found at a lesser depth.
This tract of 4,800 acres lies directly West and a little south of Orchard park where the National Exploration Company is now drilling and geologists who have examined It say that the structure is there much in evidence.
The Blackdom Oil Co. is composed of negroes who blocked a large acreage early in the year. They received a bonus of $1,000 ($27,000 today) an acre and a bond of $5,000 ($133,000 today) has been deposited by the drilling company to show good faith.
The machinery for this well is already in transit and will be moved to the drilling site immediately upon its arrival in this city.
Officials of the National Exploration Company have announced that the long missing equipment necessary for the starting of the Orchard Park well will be here the latter part of the week and that the big drill will begin pounding the first of the next week.

The present city administratum, arrying out its program inaugaratd some time ago for a better and leaner Roswell, yesterday caused he arrest of Mittie Moore, a colored voinan living on South Virgin; i cvnue, charging her with prostitution. She was arraigned before Judge Par ons yesterday afternoon and entered a plea of guilty at which .tune her case was set for hearing at 3 'clock this afternoon. Mittie Moore is an old offender' against the city and a character well known to the city police department. For many days she has been under the close supervision of the city police and yesterday night policeman Jim Johnson secured the last link in the chain. Mayor Mullis and the present administration are to be highly complimented on their efforts to "clean-up" Uhey are making long 'strides in the right direction and many other offenders are at present treading on rather slippery ground and unless either right their ways or depart from these parts forever will one day find themselves before the bar of judgment and the judgment is to be no, joke either.
