In 1745 Louis Pierre Ancillon de la Sablonnière established the Pechelbronn bitumen mine at Merkwiller-Pechelbronn, Bas-Rhin, Alsace. He was an interpreter with the French ambassador to Switzerland, then the General Treasurer of the Ligues Suisses and Grisons. He learned of Jean Theophile Hoeffel's 1734 thesis "Historia Balsami Mineralis Alsatici sev Petrolei Vallis Sancti Lamperti", which described bitumen springs near Lampertsloch. The farm was later called BächelBrunn/Baechel-Brunn for a "little brown stream" or "Baechelbronner" in 1768 when purchased by the LeBel family.〔McCosh, Frederick William James, ''Boussingault'' D. Reidel Publishing, New York, 1984, ISBN 90-277-1682-X〕 Along with Jean d’Amascéne Eyrénis, the son of physician Eyrini d'Eyrinis, the developer of the La Presta asphalt mine of Val de Travers, Neuchâtel, Switzerland, he obtained permission to start searches around the spring. He created the first oil company in 1740, putting 40 shares on the market.〔(French Museum of Petroleum )〕〔((in French) )〕〔(de la Presta Asphalt Mines )〕〔(Mines d’asphalte du Val-de-Travers (Neuchâtel) )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Pierre Ancillon de la Sablonnière」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
