lieve that some day we are going to
wake up in the middle Of an oil pool.
I remember one incident that hap
pened along about 1923. when A. A.
Robinson was president Of the AIexi-
can Central railroad The company
at that time was considering the pur-
chase OF the coal lands just across
the Mexico line, north and west of
Juarez. The directors suggested that
they get the best geOlogist in the
country to pass upon this coal de-
post Mr.. Robinson secured the ser
vices OF Henry N. Chance. Of Phila-
oelphia, VINO was considered one OF
the best authorities on coal deposits
in the United States. While in FL
Paso Mt. Chance was the house guest
OF my father. ] was a youngster not
out OF my teens, and spent every day
OF the two weeks or more that Mr..
Chance was here in the field with
him. He made an unusually careful
examination Of the property. In his
report he advised that the company
spend from S25. 900 to $4,000 in dia-
mond drill work to determine the ex-
tent Of the coal deposit, and stated
that the indications were fine for oil.
The 'Ojos de Petroleo' that Mr.. Glenn
spoke Of in The Herald, I have seen

ways an Enthusiastically oily coating on
