Will Pool Acreage

The Blackdom people are making final arrangements to pool their land and when it is all in they expect to have in excess of 10,000 acres. This land is to be put in a Roswell bank and kept there until some drilling company comes along with an acceptable proposition. The reports on the street that the National Exploration Co. had secured this land and were preparing to block it with their Orchard Park holdings are without foundation.
