new OIL TEST AT ONCE
ON A. G. THURMAN BLOCK
Drilling Contract Let To Tarver Bros of Shreveport La
Prominent Operators of Producing Area
Thorough and Speedy Test Now
Assured.

The Telegraph can now ali
nounce to its readers that the
Washington vicinity is to have
another test we'll drilling at
issue of the paper is off the
press. The we'll is to be drilled
on the Thurman lease BLOCK,
just east of Washington, and
will be in the Southeast corner
of Northwest quarter of South
east quarter of Sec ID, Twp. II
South, Range 25 West, Il
quarter mile north of the Ar
kadelphia road; it will be
three-quarters of a mile from
the King No. l and 2 wells,
drilled by the Columbus-Hope
Oil Co., but lost before a rich
oil sand there could be tested.
Tarver Brothers of Shreve-
port, La, foremost among oper-
ator, drillers of the South S
fields will be in charge of the
test. They came over Monday
as soon as notified that the
block was in shape, and began
the preliminary work, letting
the contract for derrick TIM
bers, furnace wood, etc.
Erection of the derrick will
be started by Saturday and
actual drilling will commence
within ten days, according to
Tarver Brothers.
The securing of Tarver Bros
to drill this test is the result
of long and tedious work BY
Mr.. Allen G.. Thurman, who re

their own premesis and truck
after truck load of rubbish was
hauled out of town, leaving the
property clean and neat.
The Cleanup committee be-
gan its monthly inspection OF
property yesterday afternoon
and filed its report, awarding
Mr.. J. w. Butler the gold rib
bon for the neatest kept home.
Several other residents were
awarded blue ribbons. The list
is: Gold ribbon-J. w. Butler
blue ribbon-E. B. Black, T.. k
Timberlake, Rev. S. C.. Dean,
Mrs. Kate Holt, c. c. Stuart,
Miss Rosa Wallace, F. Y. Trim
BILE and J. E. Gold.
The committee visited a num-
ber of homes where cleaning
up was in progress but was hot
completed in time for IN
spection. At other places the
front yards were nice and clean
but the rubbish or weeds at the
rear or on the outside barreC,
the owners from the blue rio
bon list. The committee urges
these to get busy and try for
the gold or blue ribbon at the
next inspection.
The committees work is done

ter losing his No. ] and No. ,
wells.
Just as he had completed
the block and was about to let
the drilling contract, legal
action involving title to a large
tract of land in the block was
filed in court. This threatened
to prevent development, but
Mr.. Thurman worked persist.
emily on until the suit was
withdrawn from court and the
leases made available.
Tarver Bros. secured their
first experience in the oil game
as drillers in the Spindle Top
(Texas) field ove~ twenty
years. ago. Since then they have
operated in various fields of
the South, bringing in many
wells and making a success in
every way. Their cooperation
in this test means that a well
will be put down in as snort
time as is possible and that d
thorough test will at last be
made here.
Driller Wooten of the DeAnn
test well was in the city yester-
day; he reports resumption OF
work at his we'll, after being
idle for some time. The present
depth 20o7- feet and the bit
is in a'sandy lime formation
which, Mr.. Wooten says, is
showing gas.
