JONES COMPANY HERE.
Drillers Have Arrived and Machinery is
Being Placed into Position.

The persons who are to manipulate the
well boring for the Jones Development
company on the Woods farm near town
have arrived and the machinery is be-
ing placed in position as rapidly as pos
sible. Carpenters completed the derrick
last week and everything will be in readi-
ness for boring within day or tgo
The delay was due to the fact that
the Jones people had intended using the
rig here that was used in bringing in
the Southern No. at Jennings, but the
Southern Oil company refused to allow
the outfit to be brought here until some
other work was completed on the prop
erty owned by the company, and it WIS
necessary to order an entire new boring
apparatus from Beaumont.
One of Rockefeller's Standard Oil ex-
perts was here recently and went over
the ground on which the boring is to be
renewed and stated that the Indications
for oil here were as good or better than
|at any point in the South. BY next week
operations will have begun in earnest.

ANOTHER NEW BANK.
First National Bank of Welsh Has Been
Landed.

This thriving city Is soon to have two
banks and both national banks at that.
At a meeting Saturday of number Of
the business men of this city and a few
from Jennings and Lake Charles the tenn
porary organization of a new bank to
be known as the First National Bank of
Welsh was effeetea.
The establishment of a new bank has
been under the consideration of several
of Welsh's local capitalists for some time
and the name of the First National was
suggested and reserved by the promoters.
At a subsequent meeting, perhaps the
latter portion of this or the first of next
week, the organization will be perfected
and the board of officers elected We
are only able to automatically furnish q
few of the principal stockholders and for
this reason withhold their names, but
next week we hope to publish complete
list of the stockholders and set of officers
of the new institution. Suffice it to say
the persons behind it are enterprising,
public spirited business men of Welsh
with whom are associated some of the
stockholders and officers of the Calcasieu
National Bank of Lake Charles, and
several of the leading business men of
Jennings.
The company has been capitalized at
$25, 600 and will have the moral and f.:
nancial support of the Calcasieu Nation
al Bank of Lake Charles, which in addi-
ton to the financial strength it will nat
urally enjoy here, places it on very firm
basis.
Negotions are now in progress for the
building on the southwest corner of
Adams and South streets now OcclIDied
by the Calcasieu Implement Co., to be
used as the temporary quarters of the
new bank, or until a building can be
erected.
The new concern expects to be ready
for business within sixty days.
