PROSPECTUS.

In rendering this, our prospec-
tus, we wish to avoid fowery,
deceptive language, and to set
forth in detail few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
ha> e done, where we have opera
ted and what we propose to do.
The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min
eral Co. Ltd, domiciled at Jen-
nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is
duly organized and chartered
company, capitalized at $500, 900.
Captain d. d. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking & Trust
Co., a man of unquestionabie in
tegrity and pronounced bust
ness success, is president of this
company.
From the organization Of this
Company it has been the purpose
to select small plots Of really oil
lands throughout the Oil belt of
Calcasieu parish, ignoring in q
measure large bodies Of indiffer-
ent lands without promise, upon
which leases could be procured
at nominal figures. Following
up this idea they have purchased,
First.-Twenty acres near the
blackberry well that is full of
promise, the we'll being down
near 1000 feet, With every indi-
cation of success. The stock Of
this well is now at par value.
A peculiar feature character
ling this well, which lies thirteen
miles southeast of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phur was extracted by heat q
spring at Hack berry flowed very
cold water, which today is almost
as hot as bot c. fee We also
purchased live acres near the
Vinton wells which have struck
several stratas OF oil, published
to the world

Second.-F'inding unparalleled
gas and oil indications on Bayou
Blue, about fifteen miles north
of Jennings, we purchased Bayou
Blue Springs, covering hill of
about five arcres on Bayou Blue.
We also have forty acres three
miles north Of the Jennings Oil
Well, where gas and oil abound
and upon which it was at first
intended to sink u well. But the
climax was struck when after
much labor and time had been
spent, ANSSE A. LA But TIE, the
SPINDLETOP of Mamou Prairie
was secured, and this is a real
Spindle Topin every sense. This
six acres lies within a mile of
Bayou Cane, tributary of Mer-
mentau river and just north Of
Mermentau station where the
Southern Pacific railway crosses
the Mermentau river, giving
easy and cheap access to an out
let to market.
This is where the Prairie
Mamou Oil & Mineral Co., Ltd
will within the next 80 days be-
gin to sink we'll with the prom
Use in advance Of a gusher. It is
about one-fourth of a mile south
east Of the noted gushing we'll of
the Jennings Oil Co.
We intend to bore our second
well on Bayou Blue. We have
leases upon several hundred
acres of lands on which we would
bore ia event others see fit to
develop any adjacent thereto and
meet success.
The Company will offer $4,000
shares for sale at so cents per
share for II short time. Par val
ue of shares one dollar each. We
would much prefer to sell these
shares TO home people.

n Drowned Negro.

The finding Of two bloody pieces of a
celluioid collar about three spans north

day tight over the Southern Railroad.
The crew had been dragging the chan

work shortly after 4 O'Clock, when the

their quest to successful termination.

conductor of the train saw the negro out
side the Yestibule of one or the cars as
he was crossing the bridge. but that a
search made Immediately after the struc-
ture was cleared. failed to disclose his
