VI W NIIISSs
City Of Mexico, July ia lake of
OIL covering an area of more than one
square mile and of unknown depth in
the state of Vera Cruz is on fire. It
has been burning for five days and
has created the widest terror among
the natives of that section. The
blaze is seen for more than two hum
dred miles at sea, accos ,i~g to navi-
gators who have arrived at Vera Cruz
and Tampico.
The scene of the fire is about sew
enty-6ve miles southeast of Tampico,
near the San Geronimo river. It is
remote from any railroad. An oil
field was being developed at that
place by the Pennsylvania Oil COM
pany, which is composed of Pittsburg
men. The company had bored num-
Der of wells and all of them were
flowing oil in large quantities. The
product was being placed in earthen
storage tanks preparatory to shipping.

fire to one of the wells and the flames
were communicated to the under
ground reservoir of oil. A terrific ex-
plosion occurred which uplifted the
earth's surface throughout the whole
field. The explosion was heard sew

pany lost 100000 worth Of machinery
