NEW IBERIA CO. STRIKES
OIL IN LARGE QUANTITIES
THE TWo FIRST WELLS PRODUCE OIL.

It begins to look like the oil
field within a few miles of this
City will prove one Of the best
oil producing sections in the en-
tire South. On Tuesday evening,
Mr.. Edmund G. Boutte, the eN-
pert driIIer who has charge OF
the New Iberia OIL Company 5
holdingS brought in some of the
finest fluid ever extracted frorn
the bowels of the earth anywhere
in Louisiana, and in such quantl-
ties that no one doubts that a
guShcr will eventually be brought
in when the we'll is arranged with
a smaller pipe. The we'll is about
1170 feet deep. and as fast
as the bailer is sent down it fills
with the fluid, in fact the oil is
within 130 feet of the surface of
the ground. From what we learn
stearn head and the necessary
machinery has been ordered to
make a complete test to find out
its capacity. 1t is more than
probable tIc oil from this well
is sufficient to consider it a pay
mo onc 9nd once steam pressure
is put on. we have reason to he
Iieve it will prove a paving we'll,
The most remarkable thing
about this field at Olivier
is the fact that the first two wells
sent down has brought in oil.
Government statistics show that
there is only one instance where
this hasohappcned and the New
iberia field makes the second with
that record in the world. The
fact Of the matter is that ont of
every one hundred wells in the
United States, an average of
three produced oil in paying
quantities.
For the past ten days the Gulf

Oil Company has not been at
work fyr the reason that they
have been unable to secure fuel to
operate their rigging, but on
Wednesday Immediately after
the remarkable showing of the
New Iberia Company they again
commenced operations to send
their castings some three thousand
feet as they were not satisfied
with the amount Of oil that came
through their pipes. Since
this second well was brouoht in
by Mr.. Boutte, oil spectators
have come to New Iberia from
numerous parts Of the United
States so quickly was the news
flashed that our field had made
such an excellent shoWing We
have now here people from the
Mexican line to Canada cndcay-
oring to secure hoIdingS in the
same vicinity where this oil was
extracted.
Within the next three months
it is more than probable there will
be several dozen dorrick~ on lands
East Of New Iberia as We I'M
doubtedly have the qrcatcst field
in the United States.
The citizens Of New Iberia who
are interested in this field are all
men who have the interest Of
the town at heart and much GOOD
will result from. their activities in
promoting and developing this
section in search of the liquid
fluid that has laid dormant all
these years almost right under
our feet. Much credit is due Mr..
Edmond Bortte for his untirinq
efforts to bring in a Successful
well and he is receiving congrat-
ulations that he deserves at the
hands Of our citizens.

Pueblo's Factories
Tremendous industries have located in
Pueblo and flourish here owing to the fact that
here they find possible the cheapest production
and the easiest distribution OF their product.
The city's payroll is over million dol
lars per month, an army" OF $1,000 being EN-
ployed in the various industries. The Pueblo
steel plant has recently announced an import
ant differential scale OF prices for iron and
steel consumed by other manufacturers in
Pueblo, which will greatly stimulate factory
growth in lines using iron and steel in any
form. Manufacturers OF such goods, seeking
new locations will find it OF tremendous i'm
portance to themselves to correspond with the
Pueblo Commerce club regarding this matter.
Mining.
The greatest coal mining districts in the
entire West lie within a fan-shaped radius of
forty to seventy-five miles west and south OF
Pueblo. Three-fourths OF the coal used within
a circle OF 500 miles comes from Pueblo coal
fields. Pueblo's fortunate situation in this re-
gard, accounts for the citys great nanufactur
ing industries and its reputation as the Pitts
burg OF the West"
Only a very small per cent of the mineral
resources OF the state has been touched. With
in very few years the many mountain streams
will be harnessed, furnishing power to hun
dreds OF cities in the states to the east OF us
making Pueblo the gateway to the great West
Varied Industries.
Pueblo has large and successful smeters

the poor and needy received share of the
blessings.
Until 1876 conditions remained primitive in
the extreme: but few surveys had been made,
there were no fences; the squatters selecting
any suitable piece of land to settle upon, and
cultivating only small fraction.
But General Palmer, Mr.. Jackson and Doctor
Bell were pushing the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad south as fast men and money could
do it, and the usual advance guard of specu-
lators and town-builders began to make their
appearance.
Homeseekers, remittance men, capitalists
and adventures became aware of the fact that
Hucrfano County offered opportunities in more
than one way to make money.
A new era had arrived.
The first coal mine, owned by the old c. c.
s, l. Co., was opened, this act becoming the
first step to an industry which has remained
foremost in our county to the phesent day.
With the opening of the mines, new class
of people flocked into this region by the thou
sands, of different nationalities and free in the
spending of money, bringing about an entirely
new condition and making Walsenburg sort
of commercial center, with reputation as one
of the best business points in the state-so
much for the past

PUEBLO AN INDUSTRIAL
CENTER

ern part OF Pueblo county beautifully visible
from the city, are easily accessible to Pueblo
residents, many of whom have summer cot
tages at Beulah and Rye, in the midst OF mag
nificent pine-clad scenery, invigorating air and
pure mountain streams. These and the many
other beautiful mountain resorts are joined
together with a system OF highways that are
the JOY OF the automobile owner. Write us

Agriculture and Horticulture
Are being developed about Pueblo on a
mammoth scale, and these industries are rapid
ly ecipsing the commercial and industrial in
tererts OF the community. Pueblo is the
metropolis and capital OF an empire OF marvel
lously productive land, and the famous Arkan-
sas Valley of Colorado, aptly termed The
Valley of Content" This valley extends in
