1T has been asked why the corpora
ton chose the Mexican fields for its

others near at home" said secretary
J. D. Peacock the reply is universal,
that the chance Of success in the
Mexican fields as compared TO any
other oil field on the continent is such
as TO leave No comparison In all,
there have been less than $50 wells
drilled in the Mexican fields and more
than three hundred of these are TO-
day producing oil A 10000 to $4,000
barrel well in this region is common.
In fact. nothing is thought Of them.

possibly the greatest there is on earth,
VIE hear only Of the great gushers
producing from 100000 to geo. 900 bar
