In the case OF John Kelly against
County Assessor Rhoades, the supreme
court Of Wyoming has sustained the
decision OF the district court, affirming
the right OF the state TO tax sheep
which we're being driven through the
state from Utah to Nebraska. Kelly
sought to evade the tax on the ground
that the property was the subject Of
interstate commerce, but the court held
that as tho sheep grazed while In

Second.-Finding unparalleled
gas and oil indications on Bayou
Blue, about fifteen miles north
of Jennings, we purchased Bayou
Blue Springs, covering a bill 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 d well. But the
climax was struck when after
much labor and time had been
spent, ANSSE A. LA BUTTE, the
SPINDLE TOP of MamouPrairie
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
Sou hern 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 a we'll with the prom
Use in advance of a gusher. 1t 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
we'll on Bayou Blue. We have
leases upon several hundred
acres of lands on which we would
bore in 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 short time. Par val
ue of shares one dollar each. We
would much prefer to sell these
shares to home people.

PROSPECTUS.

In rendering this, our prospec-
tus, we wish to avoid dowery,
deceptive language, and to set
forth in detail a few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
have 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 5000, 900.
Captain D. E. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking & Trust
Co., a man of unquestionable 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 a
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 l, 900 feet, with every indi-
cation of success. The stock of
this we'll is now at par value.
A peculiar feature character
izing this well, which lies thirteen
miles southeast Of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phur was extracted by heat a
spring at blackberry flowed very
cold water, which today is almost
as hot as hot coffee. We also
purchased five acres near the
Vinton wells which have struck
several stratas Of oil, published
to the world.
