at a cost of about the same figures.
All the oil produced by the Mexican
Petroleum Development company was
produced from sixteen flowing wells
averaging from 100 barrels a day as a
minimum to 5000 barrels. These same
wells, some of which are nearly six
years old, are producing at the present
time over 500 barrels each per day.
One of these wells, known as gusher
No. /, has been flowing for sixty-seven
months, producing an average rate OF
1400 barrels a day. The town of Ebano
has been located here, and an enor-
nous refinery for the making of as
phaltum has been established, besides
a railroad passing through here. This
field has been under the able manage
ment of Mr. Wylie for the past seven
years.
At the present time the Mexican Pc
troleum company is thinking very Sc
riously of engaging in the general ag-
riculture business on a very large
scale. They have on their property
thousands of head of cattle, horses
and mules. A large part of their hold
ings is a jungle infested by wild cat
tie and horses of unknown quantity,
besides wild animals which kill many
of their calves and colts.
over a qu~rter of a million acres
situated in the country known as HUI
tic-Veracruzana, in the state of
Vera Cruz, Mexico, 100 miles south of
Ebano, is the most extensive and val
liable oil fields Of the world. Messrs.
Doheny and Garfield, by associating
with E. p. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe railway, and DIR. Norman
Bridge, acquired this most valuable
property. The Huasteca Petroleum
company, of which Mr.. Wylie is man
ager, was organized for the purpose
of developing this property. This
promises to be the most profitable of
all the oil enterprises that have en-
gagged the energies of these men.
Wells are drilled and being drilled,
many thousands of barrels already
being secured as a daily output. The
prediction that Mexico will be inde-
pendent from the outside world, both
for fuel and petroleum, is about to be
verified, and the Mexican Petroleum
Company, Limited, of Delaware which
controls both the Mexican of California
and Huasteca. will become a source
of large monthly revenue to its many
stockholders, many of whom are resi-
dents of Southern California.
A few years ago the Republic of
Mexico granted 10 Messrs. Doheny,
Garfield and Bridge a privilege to es-
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

tablish a gas producing plant in the
cities of the republic. They were also
granted the privilege of importing,
Tree of duty, except stamp tax, ma
chlnery and material for carrying out
of that purpose. Upon securing a
franchise from the municipal authori-
ties of Mexico for a gas works in that
city, the Mexican National Gas COM
pany was formed and is now complet-
ing works to supply gas for fuel and
illumination of the 100000 inhabitants
of that city.
This is a luxury heretofore unknown
in the cities of Mexico. and both fuel
and illuminants are very expensive
throughout the country. more especial
ly in the capital city.
In the latter part of 1904 Mr.. Doheny
and his business associates organized
the Mexican Asphalt Paving and Con-
struction company. This company
was organized for the sole purpose of
finding a use in Mexico for their as
phalt made from their heavy petro-
leum.
The company was very successful
both in finding a very large and ex-
tensive market for its asphalt and
financially to its stockholders. Miles
and miles of fine asphalt streets and
many more miles of good oiled ma
cadam roads speak of the progress and
activities of the Mexican Asphalt Paw
ing and Construction company. The
officers of the company are: Charles
e. Harwood of Upland, Cal, presi-
dent; MIR. Doheny, vice president and
general manager; and Mr.. Harold
Walker is the local manager in Mexico
City.
The demand for more asphalt roads
and streets is growing larger every
year, and it is evident that Manager
Wylie and his assistants of the petro-
leum companies will not be idle for the
want of occupation.
Mr.. Doheny, with j. c. Anderson
and Norman Bridge, organized the
American Petroleum company about
two years ago to operate in California
only.
Large holdings of possible oil lands
in Monterey were first acquired, which
were only slightly prospected. Later
they acquired a lease on eighty acres
of land at Sherman, just west of Los
Angeles. They bought, not long after
tLls, 1400 acres of the richest oil land
in the country at a cost of over two
milli"~ dollars. This is situated in the
Coalinga district.
At the present time the company has
over two dozen producing wells that
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19

average from 5000 to 5000 barrels daily.
Wells are constantly being drilled, and
the expectations of the management
are that within a year they will be
producing 10000 barrels a day.
This company's rapid rise to the
point of paying dividends is very re-
markable. They have paid dividends
from November, 1908. For the last six
months or more the common and pre-
ferred stock have received the same
percentages per cent formerly, now
IL per cent per annum, payable 1 per
cent monthly.
