This fact developed today, following

VIVIAN FIELDS, WHERE OIL WAS
FOUND, PARTLY OWNED BY
HATTiEseuRGIANs.

There are something like 100 Hat
tiesburgians today holding visions of
becoming second Rockefeller oil kings,
as a result of kilograms received from
the Caddo, La, oil fields. which tell of
big gushers struck there yesterday.
Messages received from C. L. Oar
ragh, treasurer of the Interstate Oil.
Gas Development Company, state that
the company has brought In a big
gusher making more than 5000 barrels
of high grade oil per day, in the fields
two miles from Vivian. There are
probably 100 Hattiesburg residents
connected with the company. and
much stock Is held here.
Following the receipt of this mes
sage, came the following from
Natchez:
John p. Burgin, of Natchez, vice
president of the Bright Light Oil Co.,
which was organized here, has receiv-
ed a telegram which states that a
three thousand barrel pure oil well has
been brought in by the company at
Edgeriy, La, below Lake Charles.
Several days ago the Victor Oil
Co. brought in 7000-barrel well with
In a few hundred feet of that of the
Bright Light Co.
"The well was drilled and brought in
by Matt Archer, who drilled the first
we'll at Chantilly, La.
on Conditions Excellent.
ut is stated that the success OF the
Bright Light Company near Jake
will doubtless mean the re-
of work at Chantilly where
the indications are said to be excel
lent. Chantilly is located just across
the river from the Ballina Plantation,
a property owned by the defunct First
Bank and should success be
achieved in that vicinity 1t will mean
the paying out of the now
defunct bank"
In addition to this comes tidings
that boring operations will be resumed
this week at Sicily Island, and the In
terested parties feel confident that
either gas or oil in paying quantities
will be struck.
Few people realize just what the
striking of gas and oil in the vicinity
Of Sicily Island would mean, and for
these it is only necessary to point to
what the Caddo fields have accomplish
I'd for Shreveport.
