made Saturday by the Prairie Pipe
Line company.
Following precedent, it is generally

of the production was the maximum
taken by the pipe lines outside Cush-

FAIRS.

San Antonio. May 2.-Jesus Del
gardo, private secretary to General
Victoriano Huerta. has arrived here
from New York on a special mission
for his chief. He has held several
conferences with former Mexican fed =
eral officers and officials of the peace
conferences. To newspaper men he
said he had nothing to say for publ
cation. Asked when General Huerta
was coming west, he said he was not
authorized to make any statements
for Huerta. but that if his friends
here had been notified of his pro-
posed visit they would learn of the
date in due time.
A message from FL Paso received
at headquarters of the peace con
ference here asked if Delgardo was
coming to FL Paso for conference
with friends. The message stated
that the following former officers in
the service of President Diaz and
President Huerta were now in El

HeaIdton Oil for Santa Fe.

Fuel oil for the locomotives of the
Santa Fe lines in Texas will be sup
piled within few months from a re-
finery to be constructed at Gaines
vile, Tex. This plant is to have a
crude still capacity IF 10000 barrels,
and will run on Healdton oil, trans
ported from the field southeast, to
Gainesville. a distance of approYi-
mately 50 miles.
1t is understood that the Santa Fe
railroad interests will finance the pro-
iect. The Producers Refining COM
pany with 100000 capital, is to be
organized Healdton oil producers
are to take 40 per cent of the stock,
or $2iOOOO, at par, paying for the
same in oil at an agreed price of 30c
a barrel at the field The railroad,
it is said, is to receive 5000 barrels
day of fuel oil at 4Oc a barrel-the
price of the crude at the field, plus
=
The oil is to be furnished on this
basis for two years. At the end of
that period the price to the railroad
is to be adjusted by adding to the
original figure one half of the differ
ence between the present price and
the market price two years hence.
The refining company will dispose
of the light products to the trade.
The Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
Railway company (Santa Fe lines in
Texas has obtained its fuel oil re-
quirements up to the present time
from the various large marketing
companies in Texas Prior to 1910
it bought most of its supply from the
Texas company. In that year it con
tracted for a period of two years
with the Gulf Refining company and
the business since then has been
divided principally between the Gulf
and Texas companies.
In 1914 the fuel oil consumption by
the Santa Fe lines in Texas amounted
TO 2.232.3S barrels. averaging 6.116
barrels per day. In June of last year
it used only 5000 barrels a day. but
in December, with increased traffic
and colder weather, it consumed over
ll.5O0 barrels a day. Its require
ments this year will average con-
sideraby more than the 1914 average.
One of its important contracts for
several thousand barrels daily will
expire next month, and in view of
the new project involving Healdton
oil ii is doubtful if the railroad will
engage any such quantity from the
marketing companies as it has here
tofore purchased. In the past it has
barrels at one time with individual
companies, deliveries extending over
a period OF two years in such instan-
ces.
Among those mentioned in cOnnec-
tion with the Healdton deal are F.
II. Thwng of Kansas City, wen known
in Mid Continent refining circles;
George 4. Todd of Ponca City, who
has built and operated a number of
Oklahoma refineries: H. VI. Evans, Of
Pasadena. Cal, presumably a Santa
Fe man. and Thomas H. Smith of
Denver In the published reports of
the deal ii is stated that the refining
company contracts to purchase 5000
barrels daily for period of five years.

to start at once. and it is TO be ready
