Worsham Well South
Of alakoff Comes in
With Good Producer
A good )roducing well, esti-
mated at around 3,000 barrels
per day, was brought in on the
W. F. Wathen tract, about 7
o'clock Friday evening The well
Parted Casing
Halts Progress
in Dodd Test
In the course of drilling below
the cap rock in the Dodd test
here Tuesday, the casing was
broken in the well about 100 feet
from the surface, which halted
known astheJoeWorsham well, progress temporarily. Operations
is situateu just across the line in [were suspended until the neces-
Anderson county and about 12 ary fishing tools could be obtain-
miles south of Malakoff. T h e
well started flowing under its
own pressure about 2 o'clock,
and came in within the space of
five hours The well is said to
be exceptionally good with the
gravity registered at 26-degrees
and a gas pressure slightly under
that of the Ware No. 3~ which is
said to be the largest producer in
the Cayuga field.
As the result of this new pro.
ducer, which extends the Cayuga
field northward about 2 miles,
considerable activity is expected
to take place in the southern por-
tion of this county. Already ten-
tative locations are being made
for a number of off-set wells on
adjoining properties, more than
one of which will be in Hender-
son county. It has been learned
that a location has been made on
another Wathen tract, which lies
in this county and that the same
rig and equipment, as o n the
first, will be used in this second
well. Efforts will be made, it is
learned, to move the derrick,
standing, to the new location.
Since the coming in of the
Worsham well, the depressson
has been removed far to the back-
ground for many families in that
/ alakoff's Opportunity
The recent completion of the
Worsham well on the Henderson
county line and the trend of de-
velopment North towards Mala-
koff behoves our citizens to take
same cooperative action to the
end that Malakoff will benefit
from the oil activity in this area.
With that end in view, there
are many things that require the
thoughful attention of this corn-
munity.
Amongst others are the neces-
sity of sewerage and sanitation
problems,
The cleaning up of our streets
and alleys.
The road to Cross Roads should
be oiled.
Accomodations for oil men and
their families.
We should realize right now
that what Malakoff and their
citizens can offer to the oil men
on these vital matters would be
compensated for a hundred times
over from a business and finan-
cial standpoint.
,As a matter of civic pride as
well as health, the sewerage and
sanitation problem is one that
will have to be met sooner or
later and the ripe time is now.
Malakoff is potentially situated
in the heart of an oil field. Many
tests will be started in the near
future and the citizens of our
community should have some im-
mediate organization to make
plans so that they can be put into
action, and no t procrastinate,
thus letting the opportunity pass
by, to be seized by other cities
to the detriment of our town.
