 A New Era Started
 A new era in Mexico's oil industry was inaugurated in latter 1910 Dur ing 1909 the Huasteca Petroleum Co.,, a Mexican Petroleum subsidiary brought in the Juan Casino field Pro- duction of this field went mp to about 2000 barrels daily and work was started on an eightinch pipe line from Tampico. Before the line was completed production of Juan Casino had dropped to 200 barrels daily and the company was forced to suspend work on the pipe line Hardly had work stopped when big Casino No. has been flowing between 10000 and 3O.O0O barrels daily. Soon after Casino No was brought in another well with an output of 1S,0OO barrels daily came in. Both wells were partly shut in at that time. but owing to tremendous gas pressure of No. 2 it was necessary Co open it further
 A few months later the El Aguilg ! Co., CMexican Eague) controlled by Pearson & Sons, which had previous Ily brought in the Tanhuipo and Pot .rero Llano fields. brought in its Potre TO del Llano No. 1 we'll This vel flowed for about SO days before it wa, closed and during that period pro .duced between 6,0O0.000 and 5000 0Ol barrels of oil. An immense eartheI reservoir was built and the we'll wal completely closed in for a time. It f. now producing between 25.0OO an, 3O,000 barrels a day.
 It is remarkable that the two grea Mexican wells, Casino No 2 and Pot rero No. 4, thus far have produce
 something like 52,OO0.0OO barrel. Casino alone has produced over 27 000.000 barrels and Pouero somethin like 25.O0O,0OO barrels.

For years oil men the world over have been looking toward Mexico. That many have seen its possihin- ties l sattested by the fact that S2O0, 100000 Is now invested in Mexican oil properties; little over one-third is European capital while almost two thirds is American, says the Boston News Bureau:
 Mexico now ranks third among oil- producing countries. being exceeded by only the United States and Russia. In 1913 it produced about 20, 2O0,OOO barrels of oil, or about 7r5 of the worlds total
 oil men assert that if there were facilities Co take care of the oil. and political conditions were settled. the country would produce between SO.- OO0.OOO and 90,O00,OO0 barrels. far sur passing the United States It is diff icult to say how long such a produc- ton as this would last. for it hardly seems likely that the big Mexican gushers brought in several years ago would be flowing at their initial out put today if they had been allowed to remain wide open.

 The leading producers in Mexico are Mexican Eagle oil Co. and Next. can Petroleum Co.,. which are shipping an average of about 10000 barrels daily Mexican Eagles output for 1913 was something like 11,000,0 900 bar rels and would easily have been more than twice that amount had the com pany had facilities.
 The greater part of the production of these two concerns come from re. zion 60 to 75 miles south of Tampico. The Juan Casino field fthe Mexican Petroleum Co. is about 60 miles south of Tampico and the Potrero del Llano field of Mexican Eagle. about 15 miles south of Casino and between 20 and 25 miles west of Tuxpam.

The Mex ican Eagle Co.'S refinery at Minatit- Ian has a capacity of 5000 barrels a day, and that fthe Waters-Pierce Co at Tampico 5000 barrels. The Waters !

Active exploration began with ap- pearance of foreign capital near the beginning of goth century. In 1898 the oil Fields of Mexico Co., was formed in London by Percy N. Furber who had previously opened for a pri- vate syndicate a well near Ebano At that time fuel oil was not a commer- cial factor The English oil Felds concern never came out as a public company owing to another company the Mexican Oil & Liquir Fuel Co.,, claiming it owned leases of the prop erty of which the oil Field Co. claimed the freehold Cecil Rhodes of South African fame was largely in- terested in Mexican oil & Liquir Fuel Co. Litigation ensued which ended in Mr. Forbes finally winning in 1903, and he then formed a company in the United States under the original name of oil Fields of Mexico.
 In 1901 Mexican Petroleum Co, (American), headed by F. l.. Doheney and C. A. Canheld had been interested in Mexico's oil possibilities for sev. eral years By 1904 this company had brought in a considerable production in the Ebano fields from which it now receives a daily output of about 1000 barrels In January, 1904 the oil Fields of Mexico Co., started actual

BOAT PROVES UNslNKABLE
 IN TESTS AT BERLIN

An unsuitable sailing lifeboat, which is fitted with an auxiliary motor, is described, with illustra- tfons. in the December Popular Me chanics Magazine. The craft is built with q rounded bottom and broad beam, quite similar to the lines of a dinghy, while its top is decked. Two-leaVed doors in the deck are opened when the boat is right-side Up, it's occupants sitting in the hold. When a wave strikes the craft and capsizes it, the doors are automatically closed The passengers are then within the craft. An aperture in one of the sides furnishes them with air while it is also possible for them 10 open one of the deck doors on the up side. In this way they can loosen the mast, and by throwing their weight to one gunwale, rlgh' 5he craft again.

BR|(;KIEY
Harvard's Star BackfieId Man
Has Scored 289 Points
in Four Years.

Speaking of records and averages
brings to mind the fact that Charles
Edward Brickley, the captain OF the
Harvard University team OF 1914, Will
leave some figures behind him when
he is graduated next spring. Brick
ley since he entered Harvard as q
freshman in 1911 has piled up 2S9
points for the Crimson sixty-tive Of
which were made on the Freshman
eleven and the balance as a varsity
player. During the three years that
Brickley played on the varsity eleven
Harvard teams scored 5SS points of
which he made 222. In view Of the
fact that he figured in but two Of the
nine games OF the 1914 schedule his
record is all the more remarkable. II
1t had not been for his attack Of APP
'pendicitis and the following operation
early in October 1t is quite likely that
Brickley would have scored more than
80 per cent OF the points made by
the Crimson teams OF 1912-13-14, as it
Is, his rocrd will afford high mark
at which future football stars can

fR|AR MARCUS.
Undefeated Colt of the Kings
Stable is the Years
Best Colt.

| Correspondence of Associated Prcss).
LONDON, Dec. 19.-The racing sea-
son under the auspices OF the Jockey
club closed with the Kings stabls as
owner of the years best colt, F'riar
Marcus. which is regarded as the most
promising candidate for next years
Derby. Friar Marcus went through
the season indicated, distincr.cn
enjoyed by no other Juvenile of nore.
The list OF winning owners is head
| ed, for the second time in succession,
by j. B. Joel, whose dozen winners
captured an average Of two races
apiece, worth in the aggregate about
$155,000 as against 100000 taken by
His Majesty, who ranks sixth in the
list. Three-fourths of the Kings to-
tai was won by Friar Marcus Among
the first twenty names of winning
owners there is not a man of mod
crate means. Waldorf Aston, with
only three winners, won over $4,000
giving him second place. w. M. Sing
er won $4,000, H. D. Duryea, $32,-
900, Mr.. Fairie, $4,000 and H. P.
Whitney, $4,000.
Among the. trainers. Alec Taylor
was the most successful, horses from
his Manton stables winning 100000.
In the list of winning jockeys, the
Irish rider, Steve Lonoghue, stands
easily first, with 1873 victories out of
$50 mounts. This is his first time in
top place, which has been monopol-
lied for seven years by Frank Woot-
ton and Danny Maher, both now re-
tired.
