COPY OF ANALYSIS.
Made by
zfTrrr

J. c. MINIS;
Analytical and Industrial Chemist,
S25 Gravier Street, New Orleans, La.
Analysis Sample of oil and sand
No. 2907S. Naked 2251-2255.
From Geo. r. Thompson,
Pascagoula, Miss.
CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS.
This sample contains trace (0033 per
cent? of mineral OIL
In my opinion this is good indication of
of this sand.
Respectfully,
J. C. MINIS Analytical Chemist.
Following the receipt of this analysis, an
effort was made by the company to raise addi-
tionaf money to test the strata. But high
rental was being paid for the rig and as the
money was forthcoming slowly, the directors
finding that the funds were completely exhaust
ed decided to return the drilling rig at once
without making the test, as they would not
themselves be responsible for further expend-
itures.
In drilling the wells mentioned above a
rotary rig with heavy mud was used. Many
are firmly convinced that had proper test
been made with experienced oil men, a field
would have been developed here.
It is the intention of the directors of the Sea
Coast Oil Company to purchase only the best
machinery and equipment and to employ the
most experienced and skillful crew to be Sc
cured and to carry on the work under the per-
sonal supervision of a capable superintendent
who has had extensive practical experience in
the oil fields of Texas and Louisiana. This, we
believe, offers the best guarantee that errors
of Judgment and mistakes in methods will be
reduced to minimum.

Why We Are Undertaking This Venture
II is the opinion of host of experienced oil
operators who have visited this section, that if
properly exploited oil and gas will be found in
highly paying quantities
Gas seepages abound in the locality and the
escaping gas burns freely. This burning of gas
led to the drilling and development of many OF
the most successful oil fields in the United
States.
The Lame Wells
About eight years ago a company was
organized mere ana TWO WeIlS Qlllleu at Lame,
four miles northeast of Pascagoula. In the
first WELL which it is universally conceded was
badly managed hot salt water with gas was
brought in. This gas burned to a height of
several feet for three or four months until shut
off by caving.
It is stated by parties VINO worked on the
well that oil was encountered.
In the second WELL which was drilled by an
inexperienced crew, with the exception of
derrick man, operations were discontinued at
a depth of 2230 feet, the derrick man insisting
that they were then in oil bearing sand.
1t was decided to have the sand analysed.
The analysis made by Dr. j. c. Minis ana
lyical and industrial chemist of New Orleans,
La who was one of the best known and most
reputable chemists in the city, and who was
highly recommended by successful oil opera
tor who stated that the wells at Pine Prairie,
louisiana would probably have never been de-
veloped had il not been for DR.. Minis analysis
His analysis is given below just as it was given
to the company.
