Communication.

The Lafayette Advertiser:
In view Of the fact that many of
your subscribers are stockholders of
Lafayette Oil and Mineral Co., and
that the Advertiser has always taken
a keen. hopeful interest in the future
its infancy with us, l will be obliged
for the publication of this cOmmunica-
ton or the gist of it. which concerns
the Lafayette Oil and Mineral Co.
On August II. 1903, this company
entered into a contract with S. H.
KeOughan. of Jennings, for the drill
ing of two wells to oil depth. The
first at Jennings, the second in Lafa-
yette or Anse La Eutte. Work was
started in Jennings in September last.
After two or three unfortunate acct
dents. the we'll was abandoned at a
reported depth of 1900 feet and imme-
diately thereafter another we'll was
started down and completed on the
18th inst. at a depth of 1860 feet, by
actual measurement of drilling pipe
taken out of the we'll in my presence.
and, without showing the least sign of
| oil or gas. The driller. Mr.. r. o.
Wood, states that at 400 feet an
| eight or nine foot vein of oil bearing
sand was struck. casing set at that
depth: but no result. From thence
on to completion, nothing but
''Gumbe' a mixture of shells and
blue black earth, in which the we'll
was drilling at the finish. Our con-
tract calls for the completion of the
home we'll in the next three months,
and l have the assurance of the work
being pushed and completed within
that time.
The Lafayette Oil and Mineral Co.,
therefore, have already put down two
wells and successfully completed one,
the coming in of which would have
proved up a single lease of 1926 acres.
The cost of this work and the drilling
of another we'll, greatly exceeds the
money invested in the Company, and
should we trust. fulfil any moral
obligation hat this Company may
have incurred in the public mind.
Respectfully yours,
LEO JUDGE.
President Lafayette Oil & Mineral Co.
