Pearsons' Engineer on Scene.

Robert Anderson. an engineer repre-
senting the Pearsons. who had been IN
Costa RIGA for some time in the interest
Of the oil concession. is leaving San Jose
to-day. David Lloyd George, jr son OF
the Chancellor of the Exchequer Of Great
Britain who has been interested in the
work with Mr.. Anderson, is still in san
lose. recovering from a severe attack OF
ptomaine poisoning. He was near death
at one time. but has passed the danger
point
An interesting story is told Of the secret
way in which Mr.. Anderson and MI
LLOYD George went about their mission IN
Costa RIGA. About six months ago the
latter arrived at San Jose. 1t was reported
he was not i'm the best of health; that he
needed outdoor exercise and was inter
ested in the collection of fossils. II was
understood Mr.. Anderson, who is a slight
man with gold-bowed spectacles, was the
tutor of the young Englishman. SO there
was no great amount of curiosity When
the two spent much time exploring the
Hills and valleys of Costa Rica.
In September there was presented Sc
cretlv TO Congress a contract, signed on
the one hand by Mr.. Anderson for the
Pearsons and, on the other, by Enrique
Jiminez, the Sub-SecTetary Of Public
Works. giving TO the English firm OIL
concessions. This contract was not well
received, as the terms proposed did not
seem favorable enough for the republic.
Another and more favorable contract
was presented to Congress in November
and, as stated. was on the point Of going
through. when blocked by some mysteri-
Gus influence. The representatives of the
Fearsons do not acknowledge they have
found much oil in their explorations. but
II is believed they would not appear so
anxious to put the contract through I'M
less they were pretty well satisfied that
oil could be obtained in considerable

Jiminez Presents Contract.

I'm presenting the last contract TO Con-
cross rpon the instructions of President
Ricardo Jminez. Enrique Jiminez said:
"There are many indications that there
exist in Costa Rica a great many deposits
Of petroleum asphalt and maybe other
hydrocarbons in the Tala-
manca region and GuanaCaste. If expert
ence should confirm such foresight there
will be open to our country one Of the
greatest fountains Of riches. For this
motive, the executive power incites US SO
that you may consider the present con-
tract with all interest, circumspection ana
attention which matter that might nave
transcendent consequences in the future
development OF our country requires.
petroleum deposits are valuable be-
cause of the growing demand for this
product and its derivatives as material
for the construction and upkeep OF high
ways and as an ideal combustible for
steam engines and for motors employed
in automobiling, aviation and industry in
general AS combustible il has excep-
tional qualities for marine purposes. The
deposits are considered one of the major
national riches from which the countries
which possess them derive colossal bene-
fits. as also do the companies that exploit
them. One of their most important uses
is that made in the merchant marine and
in war
The proposed contract gave the Pear
sons the right to explore the country and
exploit whatever oils and hydrocarbons
might be found. 1t provided that Costa
Rica should have the right TO take ~
per cent Of the product at the pools. or
wells, or demand az per cent Of the total
value OF the deposits in cash.
The Pearsons agreed to invest within
two years 5000 colonies; within three
years thereafter 10000 colonies and within
seven years thereafter not less than
100000 colonies. \ colone liz valued at
about IS cents in American money.
Sweeping Privileges Involved.
These are the rather sweeping priv
ilcges the government would have grant
ed TO the Pearsons, II the contract had
been ratified:
THE government authorizes the con-
tractors TO establish tubing which will
serve 10 conduct the petroleum or any
other substance; TO construct wharNes
for the use of the company or companies
which shall exhibit these substances, ana
also TO traffic by land and water; to es-
tablish and exploit refneries, and TO
execute all the works which the eXploitd-
ton Of the petroleum shall demand, such
as warehouses, aqueducts, canals
wharves, pumps. telephones, telegraphs,
railway, tramways. electric plants ana
transmission lines. all for the service OF
the company or companies without preju-
dice Of third parties. and taking care to
