In tendering this, our prospec tus, we wish to avoid flowery, deceptive language, and to set forth in detail a few simple, plain facts, briefly stating what we ha e done, where we have opera ted and what we propose to do. The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min eral Co. L't'd, domiciled at Jen nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a duly organized and chartered company, capitalized at $200,000. Captain D. E. Sweet, president of the Jennings Banking & Trust Co., a man of unquestionable in tegrity and pronounced busi ness success, is president of this company. From the organization of this Company it has been the purpose to select small plots of really oil lands throughout the oil belt of Calcasieu parish, ignoring in a measure large bodies of indiffer ent lands without promise, upon which leases could be procured at nominal figures. Following up this idea they have purchased, First.-Twenty acres near the Hackberry well that is full of promise, the well being down near 1,000 feet, with every indi cation of success. The stock of this well is now at par value. A peculiar feature character izing this well,which lies thirteen miles southeast cif Sulphur Mines is, that before the day when sul phur was extracted by heat a spring at uackberry flowed very cold water,which today is almost as hot as hot cffee. We also purchased ive acres near the Vinton wells which have struck several stratas of oil, published to the world. THE SOUTHERN OIL COMP'NY. Will begin drilling at once on our 100-acre tract adjoining the Jennings well. Pipe and machinery are here. C E Jones, an experi enced driller, who has brought in four gush ers on the Beaumont Spindletop, has con tracted to put down two wells for us. The Company has a fine large list of holdings, consisting of 506 acres at different points near and adjoining the Jennings well. The Mamou Prairie tracts owned by the company is one of the best in that splendid field. Work will commence on this tract very shortly and investors will do well to secui e stock before an advance is made. 15,000 Shares Only of a par value of $1 Will be Sold at 50c Each. They are going rapidly and the issue will soon be sold. The officers of the company will assure the most careful management. Southern Oil Company. Capital Stock, $500,000. JENNINGS, LOUISIANA.

Second.--Finding unparalleled gas and oil indications on Bayou Blue, about fifteen miles north of Jennings, wepurchased Bayou Blue Springs, covering a hill of about five arcres on Bayou Blue. We also have forty acres three miles north of the Jennings Oil Well, where gas and oil abound and upon which it was at first intended to sink a well. But the climax was struck when after much labor and time had been spent, ANSSE A. LA BU'ITE,the SPINDLE TOP of MamouPrairie t was secured, and this is a real Spindle Topinevery sense. This six acres lies within a mile of Bayou Cane, tributary of Mer mentau river and just north of Mermentau station where the e Southern Pacific railway crosses I the Mermentau river, giving f easy and cheap access to an out a let to market. This is where the Prairie Mamou Oil & Mineral Co., L't'd will within the next 30 days be gin to sink a well with the prom ise in advance of a gusher. It is about one-fourth of a mile south east of the noted gushing well of n the Jennings Oil Co. We intend to bore our second well on Bayou Blue. We have f leases upon several hundred acres of lands on which we would . bore in event others see fit to n develop any adjacent thereto and meet success. S The Company will offer 50,000 [- shares for sale at 50 cents per a share for a short time. Par val I ue of shares one dollar each. We t would much prefer to sell these shares to home people. o Address all communications to e AUG. COLBERT, Sec'y, k Jennings, La. I or, D. E. SWEET, Pres., Jennings, La.
