From the oy fields Of Totcco TO

and held n surprised reunion. The
International owns about all there
ia left in Mexico. They own all OF
tho Totcco floid nrd tho district

Tho international No. s, tho dis

the pressure. The No. 2 Is good
for IS, 900 barrels but will not make
its oil against the pressure OF No. 4.
Therefore the latter must be shut
down IN order that No. can make
her fun production. No. Is good
for $50. 900. but 10000 barrels Is the
largest days production taken from
tho well, which also must be shut
In for n turned open the pipeline

No has been expected ia daily
but neither Of tho boys have heard

( on accouut OF the report Of salt
water IN some of tho fields, The
production nf oil in Mexico for the
first six months OF 1891 was FULLY
double. that Of 1920. Mr. Lynch
and Mr.. McKnnna both think tho
reports OF water have been grcatly
exaggerated.
There arc some companies who
have lost all of their production on
account OF salt wgtcr and are right

Salt water has appeared in Amat-
