BAYOU PIERRE BRIDGE
is NEARING COMPLETION

The bridge across Bayou Pierre at
the railroad, known as the Two Mile
bridge, is almost completed, the work
men expecting to have the structure
ready for travel BY the latter part Of
the present week.
This bridge has had checkered
career. Work has been carried on
spasmodically there for about two
years. On two different occasions
freshets swept away much Of the
work and it required much time to
replace the damage.
The Virginia Bridge Co, builders
Of the bridge, will lose pretty heavily
ON the contract, which was bid IN
when material and labor were much
cheaper than after the wotk begun
to say nothing Of the damage referr-
ed TO above The original price was
about $4,000, with a few small adj
ditions since beginning work
This bridge will be worth much to
the people Of the lower part of the
second district. The ferry, which has
been their only means Of reaching
Port Gibson, is often out Of commits
sion, and when it is in running order
there is always more or less danger

WILL BORE FOR OIL
In CLAIBORNE
A. c. GIasseIl of Shreveport VIII Sink
One or More Wells Here Prospect
ing for Oil. Comes Highly Recon-
mended


Mr.. A. G. Glassell, successful oil
man Of Shreveport, La, has secured
many options on land in Claiborne
county, and viii, in very shs~t time
sink at least one well in hope Of find
ing oil. Mr.. Glassell, who graduated
from Chamberlain-Hu Academy q
few years ago, comes highly recon-
mended, both as an oil man and as a
sentleman Of high character.
The geologist whom Mr.. Glassell
expects to bring here to locate the
place where he will first sink well,
Is expected this week,
The indications are that borinc will
first be done In the western part of
the county, somewhere between Bayou
Pierre and the southern boundary Of
the county.
There is direct line Of wells from
the Oklahoma oil fields to Shreveport
La, and this county is almost on q
parellel to this line. 1t has been
thought for long time that this part
Of the state has oil underl- imp it, but
heretofore there has not been enough
interest in the matter for men Of
means to undertake to sink well.
Mr.. GIassell has ample means to con-
duct such an experiment, and he has
had enough exnerience IN the oil busi-
ness to not lose faith after one effort.

ABOUT BORING FOR OIL
in CLAIBORNE COUNTY

The Reveille has been furnished the
following interesting article relative to
the boring for oil in this county:
Mr.. A. @. GIasselI, former student
at the G. III. A. in Port Gibson, is here
seeking leases in compact body of
$4,000 acres Of land, situated south
Of the Big Bayou Pierre and west Of
Little Bayou Pierre or Wills Creek.
Mr. Glassell has had experience in
oil drilling, and in handling oil leases
in Caddo and Homer parishes, La.
He is said to have been very fortu-
nate in his efforts in those parishes.
As an earnest, as well as forfeit
should he fail to carry out his un-
dertakings, he viii deposit in the two
banks at Port Gibson the sum Of
$4,000
The reasons for securing 10000
acres in compact body are: A skill
full and thoroughly competent geolo-
gist will, at his expense, Immediately
upon acquisition Of leases of said
quantity Of land, carefully and scien-
tifically explore the leRseholds OBJ
tanned IN said territory, with view
to determining the best point on such
leaseholdr to start the first well A
large acreage is necessary, because
indications at any point do not estab-
hsh the i sources, but they point
the way to the geologist, tending or
leading to an available and most like
Iy place to begin drilling.
Mr.. Glassell comes highly recon-
mended, and his financial ability is
youched for by bankin~ institutions
at Shreveport, his present home city.
He is not organizing here drilling
company, but is undertaking. deyel-
opment at his own cost and risk. No
one is asked to place dollar with
him for such purpose in this county.
He agrees to begin the first well
within 120 days from the date OF Sc
curing leases for he above quantity
Of land, located as above Should ne
fail to do SO. the $4,000 deposit will
become q forfeit to the lessons.
Each lessor of land will rcta'n q
royalty of one-eighth in whatever oil
OF gas may be discovered. The lease
becomes forfeited should the lessee
fail or neglect to begin operations
within l20 days as above stated.
Messrs. D. H. Browder and G. A.
Gordon have been selected by Mr..
Glassell and authorized by him to Sc
cure the aggregate quantity % leases
desired. These gentlemen have M Pc
gun work, and they present safe, I'D,
erai and fair lease contracts 70 Aane
holders ia above named territory: =
