Ell PAsO NAN ACTIVE IN
PECOS VALLEY FIELD


c. R. Troxel of FL Paso has gone to
Pecos Valley points on business CON
nected with the projected development
of the oil 2eIds around Dayton, Lake
wood and Artesia- Mr.. TroXel has
been working for a long time to in
duce outside capital to come into the
field and undertake its thorough de-
Yelopment.
He lately returned from California,
where he had been in conference with
prominent oil capitalists. The Cali
fOrnia Oil World of Bakers 2eId, Cal.
prints the following reference to the
visitor;
&C. r. Troxel Of Ell Paso. Texas. who
has just been in California. is one OF
the men seeking to develop an oil
2eld in western Texas, southeastern
New Mexico and the eastern part OF
the state of Chihuahua, Mex Years
ago Mr. TroXeps attention was first
drawn to the oil prospects south OF
Ojinaga the little town Just across the
International line from Preside del
NOrte, Texas. Through Mr. Troxel,
were induced to go after oil here and
oil bat in what quantities it is impos-
sible 10 say with certainty Indica-
tons were that they had commercial
amounts, but they closed down an
operations because the field is nearly
100 miles from a railroad. Mr. Troxel
has interested himself both around
Toyan, Texas. and in the Pecos Valley
Of New Mexico. in both Of which places
prospecting is actively under way He
thinks there is q great future for these
fields"

Monterey Mex, Jan. I'm all the
world there is no greater manifesto
ton Of natures wealth-producing
power than exists in the remote set
Element of Juan Casiano in the state
of Neracruzs in the east coast region
Of Mexico This marvel of modern
times is an oil well that for S42 days
has been producing at the rate %
81 worth Of oil every four seconds.
Aladdin with his lamp never wrought
a greater wonder in the creating of
riches by magical means than was
accomplished at Juan Casiano on
September I, 1910, when a crew of
American well drillers punctured
Subterranean reservoir of crude petro-
leum. Since that day the well has
been flowing without interruption with
its gate valve three-fourths closed. It's
production up to this time totals ap-
proximately 10000, 900 barrels, valued
at $20.O0O,000.
VIII Flow 100000 Barrels Daily
What the aggregate of the wells
flow would have been had the mouth
of the S-inch pipe been permitted TO
remain wide open is largely conjec-
tural It is Conservatory estimated,
however, that the wells capacity is in
excess of 100000 barrels per day As
an evidence of the scope and strength
of the pressure that is back of the
oil flow, the fact is cited that when
the well was first brought in the
gate valve was adjusted to a pres
sure of 29O pounds to the square inch
and that this pressure has not varied
a fraction of an ounce since then.
pressure behind the oil flow is sti1
as great as it was when the strike was
made.
% oil ell in the world ever made

'Oro BlancO looks good to me and

the Orc mine. Since the change in
ownership of the Orc mine about a

feet of drifts and Slopes have been I'M
watered which were filled with sur

timbered to the bottom and drifting
and prosecuting have been COM
menced at several points on the vari-
Gus levels and from the bottom of the
shaft, the latter being $40 feet in depth
and the deepest in the district
At the 15O-foot level a crosscut from
the south drift has opened a fine body
Of ore. The breast shows five feet of
sulphide, which runs from SO to S12

A crosscut from the north drift on
the same level will, it is expected. omen

crOSscutS started from the bottom OF
the shaft will open the several veins
at a depth of from $40 feet to 400 feet
Of stopping ground.
Several veins were prOspected from
the surface by the previous owner to
depths of from so to $50 feet From
one of these, the Julia, bullion to the
amount of $4,000 was sent by the
superintendent to the Denver mint
This amount represented the free gold
caught on the plates Of the mill. Con-
siderable concentrates OF a fair grade
were shipped to the smelter at Pueblo,
Colo.
On the Julia two ore shoots were
opened which at the 10O-foot level were
from s to 20 feet wide and about 200
feet in length. 1t was from these that
a large part Of the bullion was de-

Ollie IS NATURES DISINFECTANT

Science now teaches that disease
is due to an implanted germ of some
kind. Not only infectious disease,
but all other disease-colds, throat
troubles, intestinal troubles-all
these things are due to implanted
germs. These germs once in the
body, multiply by millions. Nature
provides for their determination, but
sometimes is unequal to the task.
When nature begins to lose in this
fight of determination, You soon feel
the excess toxins or poisons-your
head aches-your tongue is coated
you are dizzy and you grow worse
unless this multiplication of germs is
checked, stopped, or inhibited, as the
Doctors say.
The flow OF Bile must be acceler-
ated before you get relief. Bile is
the disinfectant that stops the null
tiplication OF germs, lat inhibit
further germ growth. Release this
Bile and relieve the trouble.
