fRv The Associated Pressl

co.'s supply Of petroleum, :" If worked

Of that exported last year was $45,-
SS7 .42l, on which a tax of $4,700,-
900 was collected, the paper adds.
From January to November, 1919,
q new wells were brought in. from
43 drillings in Mexico's oil fields. the
newspaper says. and these wells have
potential production Of 462.557
barrels daily.

mining activity in the state of Chi
huahua, due to the absence Of the
bandit Villa from that stae." Many
new locations are announced. and the
old locations are being worked. with
prospects for great year Of pros
perity, chiefly on account of the high
