“Oil Test Near Blackdom

Messrs, Warman and Meeler are moving a rig for a 2,000-foot test to the SW ¼ sec 23 13-24 in the Blackdom Area, west of Dexter and west of Pecos River. It is understood plans have been made to drill an additional test, in the event the first proves to be dry. It was learned here several weeks ago that a location had been made in this area.--Dispatch.”
