Petroleum Industry4OW HuasteCa
Production National Gas Company with Fuel
for It's Plant Mexico City

The stage Is set-the audience waiting
but where are the stars? A word from
the manager, and presto! Enter two
fine wells, Nos. and 7, capable of pro-
ducing over 10000 barrels of oil daily
Their arrival seems timed to the sec
ond.
AS may we'll be supposed, this great
development was mot undertaken un-
til the Huasteca field had been thor
oughly proved. This tract, 100000 acres
In extent, Is regarded as the most
promising oil territory in the world,
and is valued at no less than S45,O0OOO0.
1t lies north of the Tuxpam river and
reaches to within sixty miles of Tam
pico. six towns are included within its
borders, one of which rests on Lake
Tamiahua, close to the gulf.
The line is in successful operation,
and oil is now being pumped into steel
storage at Tampico. Oil at Tampico
brings from So cents to 81 a barrel,
u. S. currency. The company's tanks
are sixty-fve feet above sea level
south of the Panuco river. Ships and
barges may thus be loaded by gravity,
or the oil may flow, by a line beneath
the river into the city of Tampico. The
company supplies, and will continue to
supply. the oil for gas making by the
Mexican National Gas company.
The event is epoch-making, for 1t
marks new era in the history of Mex
lean petroleum development. The mar
ket far exceeds the supply, for in adj
dition to Mexico itself the great foreign
harbors are readily accessible.
When extended to Cerro Azul. as
planned the pipe lines total length will
be 105 miles. 1t will then have seven
pumping stations. There are now five,
located at Casiano, San Geronimo, La
Laja, Horconsitas and Garsapatas, re-
spectively.
The total storage capacity at and
between Tampico and Casiano will soon
amount to $4,000 barrels, apportioned
among twenty-one steel tanks. The
line has cost approximately $1OOO,O00.
The company has built seventy-fve
miles of good roads and several large
steel bridges. 1t owns one steamboat
seven power launches, and several
barges, for navigation of the rivers,
lakes and canals to Tampico, Tania7
hua and Tuxpam. 1t has all tools and
equipment necessary for fours large
camps.

The present mining law of Mexico
bearing Gate of November 25, 1909,
became effective January 1, 1910. It's
provisions respecting monuments on
mining properties are identical WITH
those of the law of June 4, 1892, when
1t repealed, with the difference that
the existing law prescribes a minimum
size for the monuments, provides
when they shall be constructed ana
fixes a penalty for failure to erect
them. These provisions are found IN
articles 27 and the seventh transitory
of the law of November 20, l9O9, anu
are as follows:
"Article 27--The department of pub
lie development shall examine the pro-
ceedings and, If its approval lie. IL
shall designate a time for the de-
nouncer to construct the respective
monuments and to show that he has
constructed them. Upon compliance
with this requirement by the denoun-
Ger the patent, which confers for him
the legal possession of the property
without the necessity of other formal
ity, shall be issued to him.
"If the denouncer do not erect the
monuments within the time designat-
ed for him, he shall be declared de-
linquent.
ONE YEAR is ALLOWED
"Article seventh transitory-A term
of one year, in which to do SO, Is
granted mine owners VINO have not
monumented the boundaries of their
properties. The owner who does not
comply with this provision shall be
liable for the losses and damages ne
may cause a third party and shall be-
sides, incur a fine Of from 100 to SoO
pesos. which the department OF puplic
development shall impose upon him,
upon receipt of verified proof of the
infraction.
eff, after the fine is imposed, the
nerson liable persist In the failure for

mitted to the judicial authorities Tor

atty for the crime of dsobedience or
a lawful order of a public authority,
without prejudice to the right of the

order the monuments constructed at
the expense of the party in interest" :"

nrovision of the law on the matter Of

were derived for the reservation OF
their property. At the expiration of
that term, if they have not submitted
the proof specified, said titles snail be
considered lapsed, without the neces-
sity of any special declaration and the
respective properties shall be freely
denouncable."
The law of June 6, 1892, is the law
on the taxation of mining and is still
in force. The article referred to
provides that persons holding mining
property without patent but with
some color of title, whatever it may be,
shall present whatever paper title
they may have or a statement OF their
rights, to the collector of the revenue
from stamps for him to pass on the
same. determine the area of the prop
ertv held and fix the amount of the
tax on the same. This provision lapsed
october 81, 1892, was extended one
year therefrom by special act of con-
gress, and was again revived for SIX
months by the present law. 1t mas,
of course, again lapsed on July l, 1910.
AS TO FOREIGNERS
The provisions as to foreigners have
been radically changed. The law OF
February /, 1856, incorporated into ev-
ery mining law since that time, pro-
vided that no foreigner could acquire
real property within a zone OF ~
leagues (52 English miles) of the from
tier of his own country, without the
express permission of the executive
Of the union. This, of course, eX-
cIuded Americans and the citizens of
Guatemala and British Honduras, but
no others The present law says "foI :
eigners'' without any qualifying term
and therefore excludes all foreigners
from acquiring mining property within
a zone Of so kilometers (49 English
miles) Of the frontiers of Mexico with
out the prior permission of the execu-
tive of the union.
Foreign companies are absolutely ex-
cIuded from that zone of so kilo-
meters, and can neither locate nor
purchase nor hold by inheritage any
mining property located in that zone.

throughout the country. Especially is
this true in the capital. where kerosene
oil, candles and expensive electric cur
rent have heretofore been used.
The delay in gas production has been
due solely to the cost of fuel oil for its
manufacture. Today, however, the
splendid development in the Huasteca
field, by the same interests as those
controlling the gas company, renders
available an ample supply of oil at
moderate cost. Thus these two great
enterprises are working shoulder to
shoulder in the commercial develop
ment of Mexico
The new company is filing a long
felt want and the people are not slow
to take advantage of the low price of
S1.27 per 1000 cubic feet Over twenty
seven miles of street mains have been
laid. and 2503 services are now installed.
The company's offices at 1st Tabuca
street, NO 6, are constantly filled with
interested gas-users, who are rapidly
adopting the large variety of gas-using
utensils which are on display.

JUDGE VIII. KING At
METHODIST CHURCH
Delivers an Address on the Subject OF
Life and Works of George
Washington.

A powerful address was delivered
Sunday evening at the First Methodist
church by William H. King. the sub
ject being "The Life and Works of
George Washington" The building
was crowded with people anxious to
hear the address. The speaker claimed
that the country has really forgotten
the grand government given ii by
Washington. Greece once boasted Its
five hundred republics. but there was
no Washington to mould It into one
powerful whole. Had he been am
bitious," declared Judge King. II have
no doubt Washington could have be-
come q king.
1T was he who crystallized into the
Constitution the great formula an
nounced in the Declaration OF indie
Dendence, that all men are created free
and equal and that the president and
other officials OF the government arc
the servants of the people instead of
their rulers. We do not appreciate
the magnitude of the work of Wash
ington. l believe the only man who
could hold the thirteen states togeth-
CT was George Washington. We stand
today in amazement at the moral
grandeur of the man. There is some
thing In moral greatness that makes
this poor clay OF our almost divine,
and there was something in this man
Washington that took the vile clay
from which he was created and made
1t divine. That power was moral
greatness. Armies and navies have
never made great nations. But / COM

Ideals. and the national righteousness
he has shown In the conduct of this
