says:

True, this has happened sunder
the administration of Mckinley, .
but our great industries have not
gained their present stature and
outreach because of it. Their ad-
vancement, like Mckinley himself

OIL NEWS.


ing the latter part of last week,
was very conflicting. 1t was re-
ported on Thursday, that the Anse-
La-Butte Go. had begun opera
tions, water having been pumped
into the boiler on Wednesday
evening Saturday word came
direct from the scene, that the
well was some two hundred feet
deep. Sunday we were informed
that nothing had been done by the
company for the last week, that
they would not commence opera
tions until some large size pipe,
which had been shipped from
Bennington, should arrive. This
shipment will complete the outfit,
and is hoped that the drillers will
begin operations during the next
ten days.
We learn from reliable sources,
that the Pioneer Oil Co., has pur-
chased 5 acres of land from the
La Butte Oil Company for $4,000
and that Moresi Bros. the drillers,
have begun the erection, of the
derrick on the property. This
Company holds an option on a
tract of land about 1000 feet west
of the gas wells, and it was their
original intention to bore there,
but they suddenly changed their
plans, and will begin operations
some 1000 feet east of the gas
wells.
We had the pleasure Of visiting
the Office of the A. b. Oil, and
Mineral Co., several days ago, and
found the officers as busy as bees
This Company is still issuing

Companies the West End Oil Co,
is the only one doing anything at
present, their derrick was blown
down the early part Of last week
and a new and larger one is now
being erected in its place. They
have all the necessary machinery
and piping, so that only the de
lay in the raising of the derrick
holds them back. The officers ot
the company frankly say that the!

The HEART BEATS OF THOSE WHO ARE STRICKEN
WITH THE GENERALLY PREVAILING COIL FEVER

''The Valley of the Tache" gave
out the following welcome news
Saturday.
The 12inch casing SO long eX-
pected by the Anse La-Butt Le-
danOis Oil and Mineral Co., have
arrived at last. aud boring will
commence by Monay or Tuesday
OF next week, as everything was
put in readiness awaiting the ar
rival of these pipes. This is i'm
portant news and will be gladly
received by our readers. We are
also authOritatively informed that
the Pioneer Oil and Mineral Co
have just closed a contract, with
a stipulation to drill within ten
days, on a five acre tract recently
bought from the La Butte -Breaux
Bridge Oil and Mineral Co. Now,
watch things move.
We learn that litigation will
commence in the Breaux Bridge
Field shortly. A New Orleans
Lawyer named John G. Tobin,
will bring suit this week to break
contracts, and leases held by Mr..
LeDanois. Connected with Tobin,
is a Mr.. l.. P. E. Giffroy, who IN
an interview published in the
Picayune some days ago said, that
he thought the Breaux Bridge
field was the most promising in
the United States
The interview concluded with
the following
"With such possibilities appa
rent, and just realizing them, are
we to be blamed for trying to un
do what was done without a pro
per appreciation of what we were
doing? We desire now to unite
the land, and when that is done
we will determine on the mex
move"
! Whatever the out come of thi'
suit will be, the result will b.
watched with interest by hundreds
interested in Lands at Anse l.;

A GRIST MILL.

We learn that there is a move
on foot looking to the establish
ment of a grlst mill in the City.
Such a mill has been long felt
want in New Iberia, There has
been splendid opening here for
years for just such an enterprise.
New Iberia has become within the
last three years the largest stock
market, out side Of New Orleans
in the State, this means that large
numbers of ANIMALS are stabbed
within the City constantly, these
animals consuming immense guam
titles of feed, which during the
summer months, comes almost en-
tirely from the month and west.
Instead of paying three prices for
own feed, why cannot we get it at
home? We have ali the requisites
here at hand, labor is as cheap as
in any section of the country, and
fuel, (OiD at minimum figure.
We hope that the promoters OF
this mill will meet with every
success, certainly conditions were
never so favorable.
We clip the following taken
from the 'Iouisiana Planters
and Sugar Manufacturers
The question of how to obtain a
cheap and at the same time a pala-
table food ration for animals en-
ployed at farm and plantation
work in the South has, it seems,
been partly solved by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, an idea of
of which may be obtained by

These clerks, it is alleged. attended the

of the post Office inspectors who had
been assigned to the, case. A package
