thill tegion are tho Iltsuf Salt Min
ing company people, who have vast
tret ts In Louisiana. They are the pos
s ssors of a large part of very Island.
This Is the spot made famous dating
tne war, and still the property of
(ifiiernl Avery, a part of whose ances.
li Hi estate It Is. Tho Hetsof company
has 3.000 acros, which rompiNe all the
salt tcnitoiy of the south.
In fact, the Hetsof Mining company
has all the lock salt mines of thli
continent. Their mines, at I.eroy, N.
Y and those of Louisiana practically
Include the salt country. A ety small
mine is found In California, but It is
of slight importance, as compared with
the gieat Interests of the Hetsof.
While the mlii"s at l.etoy, N. Y., ari
l,5i'0 feet deep, salt Is mined on Aveiy
Island at a distance of fifty feet, tho
vein being !u0 ftut thick, the took salt
li.it lug tho marvelous quality of b'in
chemically pure.
Aveiy Inland Is tdtuati-d about
miles due east of the wondei fill
gusher which Colon?) James Cutty
this state, has leecntly acqtilted
Tcxus.
Pltlxbuig capitalists and otheis hate
conceived the Idea that Avery Island is
alio n rich oil dlstiict. and hute gone
to considerable trouble to gain p r
niission to sink wells upon It. Tln
Hetsof people have finally ncceded to
this icquest and prospectors are out
.ijh witch hazel wands or equally ef
fective iluvlces wan anted to locate
wells.
11. L. Fuller, piehldent of Hie Hot?"''
.Mining company, when lntonlewtd on
the Mihjtet, stated thnt he was some
what skeptical about finding oil In
paying quantities on Avery llnnd. He
was Ininillar with the salt mensuies
at I.eroy. their other mines In New
York, wheie oil by the p.illlul win
found, vol not In olume MillMmt to

Of ionise, the Cuffey vell is one ot"

Ml. Fuller stmed that he did not knot
