AN OIL WELL AT
ANSE-LA-BUTTE
Similarity of This Well to the
Present Oil Field Near the
Twn OF WINFIELD.

A special to the New Orleans
Picayune of January z. gives the
information that an oil well had
been brought in at depth of 500
feet, at Anse-la-Butte. in Iberia
parish. On being bailed cut the
well furnished 200 barrels of
heavy density. 1t is expected that
this well will deveIope capacity
of 1000 barrels Cay.
This development brings into
prom;nency the fact that the
formation of the earth at the
Winnfi Id oil field is identical with
that at Anse la-Butte. Ga Am

the experiment of boring for oil
was first ir.augurated here. Prof.
Harris. the State geologist. ex-
pressed the opIninn that it would
never he successful. Since the
discovery mt Anse | a Butte he has
reversed his first opinion and now
says that the experiment here
would prove successful and oil
would be found.
Tie boring at the Pace Oil well
has struck hot black sulphur
water with strong pressure of
gas. A match touched at the
opening causes flame jet to shoot
up a distance of ten feet. The
surface indications of sulphur and
gas are of the most encouraging
nature, while the boring, as it
progresses, gives strong indica-
tions and bright promise of a
development of oil ut any time.
1t would not surprise those who
are interested in this work, to be
informed at any time, that the
solght-for substance has been
found in paying quantities. The
investors in this field are very
ssnguine of the eventual discov-
cry of fine oil producer.
