BAkU A THRIVING EUROPEAN CITY.
Texas oil men can not know too much
about Baku. and the history Of It's peculiar
population. Lord Dunmore has dealt with
the subject Of the petroleum industry Of
Baku In an unpublished report which he
has been good enough to place IN the
hands of The Post correspondent. Baku,
he says, situated on the western shore Of
the Caspian sea, possesses harbor with
n shipping record that entirely eclipses that
Of Butoum and odessa, although these two
ports constitute outlets for oil through
the BOsphorus and Dardenellcs 70 the
outside world, whereas Baku has the
serious drawback Of being geographically
shut out from the waterways 10y her con
fined position on the shores of an inland
sea. Most authorities who have dealt
with the subject Of Beaumont oil have
made n great point of the superiority OF
Port Arthur over Baku. Still, says Lord
Dunmore, notwthstandin" these drawbacks
Baku has become a large commercial center
with line houses, squares banks, cnthedrus
and public buildings. Yet, not long ago,
Baku was nothing but an unpretcutiuus

LORD DUNMoRE's IMPRESSIONS OF

conversations with Lord Dunmore during
the last few weeks His lordship has con.
scented to allow himself to be formally
elected chairman of the British Petroleum
company, which is being formed by Mr.. Is.
w. Humphrey Of Texas and MIR. S. j.
Ashby, an Englishman. who has visited the
Beaumont oil fields, with a capital OF
G,2oo,ooo. The company has secured wells
at Spindle Top and will exploit oil lands
In different parts Of the State. Mr.. Hum
phrey left London n week ago for Texas
He has been commissioned by his directors
to secure additional properties Of which
they have already certain particulars The
company IS arranging to take a magnificent
suite OF rooms In a line building which
has been erected on the site Of the Rattle
well known for its notorious association
with the old South Sea bubble, which made
one Of the most extraordinary chapters In
London commercial life. Lord Dunmore
though he has taken UP this new Texas
venture, has no direct personal knowledge
OF the Beaumont oil field. He is however,
a great traveller, and 1t is not unreasonable
to believe that he Will he the first English
lord to visit Texas in connection with an
oil project.
