Fue en- ell ano de 1874 cuando Sc hi
cieron las primeras e~xploraciones en-

fabulosas cuando sc perforaron los
dos pozos de los "Chotes" que produ-

Juan Caciano', de la Mexican Pc

Y que ha sostenido cOnstantemente
SIT production inicial de setenta mil

con el pozo del "Potrero del Liano',
p%erteneciente a la compania del CA

tie en- el espacio de siete amos ha da-
do cuarenta mil barriles diarios, o
una production potential de ciento

que los Estados Unidos con mas de

Mathews Henry Holt & Coz is a de-
scription Of the back country in Dutch
Guiana. The narrator was as much
interested IN the botany and the ami
NAL life OF the land as he was in the
search for minerals, so that the lively
account of the daily happenings and
the dolngs of the various members
% the patty Is INTERRUPTED at any
moment to describe the habits Of in
sects they come across or larger beasts
or the plants. flowers and trees. The
quest for treasure serves as the thread
that holds together this mass OF in
teresting information. The author
gives individuality to the natives who
form his party; so his story III the
main even II il is slightly dressed up.
- one Of real exploration and has the
interest that all descriptions or pio-
nrer work in new lands have. The
book is illustrated with many photo
