OIL. FIELD FIRE.

disastrous fire which has ever visited
the Louisiana oil fields broke ont at
about Il O'Clock this morning in the
new gusher which the Morse Oil Com
pany yesterday brought in the Jen-
nings field and at 10 O'Clock tonight
the entire Jennings field is threatened.
IL wind in any direction should
spring up the entire field is doomed.
Up to the present time practically no
steps have been taken to extinguish
the fire and tonight it is raging ever
more furiously than when it first
broke out
The loss will reach into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars even if
the fire does not spread to the other
wells In the district and tonight the
general impressions seems to be that
other wells will catch fire as the heat
from the burning gushers in intense
and the derricks hundreds of feet away
from the fire are smoking and are only
prevented from breaking into blaze by
| the efforts of hundreds of men who
are at work trying to prevent the
spread OF the blaze.
The fire started in Morse we'll No.
8 which was only brought in yester-
day and which has capacity of at
least 10, 600 barrels day.
The loss as estimated by the oil
men who are on the field tonight is
placed at over 800, 600. This includes
only the actual property which has
been destroyed up to this time and
does not include the loss to the oil
business which results from the delay
and the removal of machinery to a
place of safety. The wells which are
burning are as follows: Morse we'll
No G; capacity, $500 barrels. Morse
well No 8; capacity 0,00O barrels.
Bienvil.e Well No. 2; capacity 1900
barrels.
The machinery of all these wells is
a total loss, but three of them were
not gushers but pumping wells. They
will be in operation again as soon as
new machinery can be installed.
1t was at first reported that the fire
had originated from friction in some
of the machinery connected with the |
drilling of the new well. but after a
thorough investigation it was found |
that the gas from the new gnsher had
spread to the engine-room from the
nearby pumping stations and had
ignited.
The fire spread like lightning The
oil from the new Morse gusher had |
burned for hours and the ground
for several hundred feet surround
ing the new we'll was saturated |
with oil of high grade, and blazed |
up as soon as the heat from the burn |
ing well became intense. 1t required |
but a few moments for the fire to |
spread to the surrounding wells, |
which are located almost in the center |
of the Jennings field The excitement |
among the men employed in the field |
was intense, as it has been almost two |
years since fire has broken out in the |
field Hurried steps were taken to
prevent the spreading of the flames.
bitches were thrown up round all the |
wells which were on fire, and every |
effort was made to prevent the burn
ing oil field from flowing into the vi
cinity of surrounding wells. Many |
of the most experienced oilmen in this
district took charge Of the work of |
preventing the spreading of the flames
and to their effort is due the fact that |
practically the entire field was not |
destroyed.

No matter how carefully guarded a
