SOUTHERN REPUBLICS
TANKER RULING WILL
MJURE OIL INDUSTRY
Petroleum Concerns Will
Withdraw Before
Submitting. j

Tampico, March 10.-Oil COM
panies operating tankers from Mex
lean ports are unanimous in their
declaration that they will not comply
with the ruling Of the federal govern
ment that all tankers be placed under
Mexican registry within 90 days.
Rather than do this they will with
draw from the petroleum industry in
this country. The law required that
ships under Mexican registry must
have Mexican officers and crews and
the experience of the companies, who
have placed ships in coastwise trade
under the Mexican flag. has been un-
favorable. Labor unions virtually
rule all seafaring men and delegates
have undisputed right to board ships
at any port. Their wage demands
call for a payment to crews which
are exorbitant, several times that of
American sailors, admitted 10 be the
highest paid of any nationality.
Numerous complaints have been
made to the government but orders
issued by the president to correct
evils have been willfully disobeyed.
The Mexican Eagle Oil Company has
three tankers under the Mexican flag
in coastwise trade, carrying crude from
Tampico to Vera Cruz and Puerto,
Mexico. while the Pierce Oil Corpora
ton had two.
One of the FL Aguila tankers was
recently burned at its dock in Tam
pico; second sent to New Orleans
for repairs while the third had been
returned to England where it is under
stood it will again take on the Brit
ish emblem. This action was caused
by the boycott declared in the port of
Vera Cruz against the Eagle and the
Pierce. The Pierce is using its tank
err. Mexicano. solely for conveying
crude from terminals at Port Lobos
to its Tampico refinery.

PLAN TO CONSTRUCT
ZINC SHELTER NEAR
SUBURB OF TAMPICO
Plant Will Mean Vast
Saping in
Freight.
Tampico, March 1o-Representa-

Tampfco. March 1o-Representa-
tives of the International Ore And
Smelling Company of Saltfllo are in
Tampico in an endeavor to make suit
able arrangements for the building Of
a zinc smelter near Dona Cecilia,
a suburb, on the Pancou river.
Practically all the zinc now smelt-
ed in the republic is shipped through
Tampico to ports other than those in
the states. Raw material is gathered
from mines between Monterey and
Laredo and Monterey and Tampico.
To transport this to Saltillo means
an enormous expenditure which can
be avoided if it is found feasible to
build at Tampico and thus save the
double haul.
Permission to use wharves Nos. 3
and 4 at Dona Cecilia has been
asked. Trains pass through this sub
urb before entering and there is far
greater trackage than at the wharf
at Tampico, where there is but one
unloading track. Because of this con-
dition. there are frequent demurrage
charges on cars which can be avoided
at bona Cecilia. This point is be-
ing taken up with the hcal stevederes,
who have a contract for the handling
of this ore and who must agree for
a transfer from the fiscal wharf 10
the proposed location. ..
1t is estimated that a smelter to
take care of the raw mineral which
can be obtained will call for the em-
ployment of more than 1000 men and
will eventually result in the establish
ment of a number of similar indus
tries at this port.

COMPETITIONS WILL
MARK BOUNDARY OF
A NEW LIGHT FIELD
Good Showings in Tests
Drilling Near
Zacamixtle.

Zacamixtle, v. c., March TO-
Based on the showings of gas and oil
obtained by the Huasteca Petroleum
Company in its well No. IA. Moral
lilo. it is considered probable that
operations conducted in Juan Felipe,
in that section abutting Morahlio.
will be successful. At depth of 261S
feet while drilling in brown lime, both
oil and gas were encountered and the
hole continues full of oil. averaging
six bailers per hour, with drilling now
at 2636 feet in gray lime.
IL has been the experience in oper-
atoms in the light oil district (south
field) that the best results have been
obtained on the eastern slope of a
structure and following this expert
enced. good results are looked for in
No. 3. Juan Felipe, drilling at so
feet in gray shale and in No. ga.
which derrick is being skidded from
No. 5. abandoned at 900 feet because
of crooked hole. These two wells
are virtually on the border line be-
tween the two haciendas with surface
elevations of about 400 feet against
600 feet for Moralillo No. IA.
The successful completion of these
two Juan Felipe wells for production
will again give the Doheny subsidiary
a great reserve which it does not need
at present. The Huasteca is the only
company which has been able TO meet
requirements of the government over
holdings in this hacienda and several
months ago, placed $3,000,000 with
the treasury as guarantee of their
legal possession Of not less than three
quarters of the titles covering acre
age of the hacienda, at the same time
guaranteeing to drill not less than ten
wells so that Juan Felipe might be
given a thorough test.

UNDERGROUND MEXICAN TOMBS
OLDER THAN SARCOPHAGUS OF
FAMOUS KING TUTENKHAME.N
Archaeologists of Southern Republic Say These

Oaxaca. Mex, March I0.-While
absorbed in the wonders of the dis
covery of King Tutenkhamen's tomb
in Egypt, but few Americans realize
that older tombs than his exist near
the capital of this southern state of
the republic of Mexico.
Twenty-Five miles from this city are
located the ruins of Militia, judged by
Mexican archaeologists to be not less
than 300 years old. Here are under
ground tombs OF beautifully cut and
polished stone, geometrically perfect
crosses of the so-called Roman design.
which no one can say by whom or
when built.
Contain Human Remains.
Practically all of these subterran-
can chambers discovered in recent
years, contain human remains and
many more or less valuable objects.
1t is believed that the cruciform
chambers at Militia were the burying
places of high priests or other digni.
taries Of the race which caused them
to be built, but that the contents were
sacked By the expedition of Spaniards
which passed through Militia 300 years
ago.
Traditions. handed down among the
Zapotcca Indians, relate that there are
still deeper chambers under those
now known and in them are the treas.
ures of the ancient tribes who. al

this section. That these chambers
exist is evident to the most casual

Reports assert that a French in
vestigator some years since, took
100000 pesos in precious metals
and gems ont of some Mexican ruins,
and the finding of idols cast out of
gold and Silver and gold and copper
alloys in this district lends further
evidence.
However, the authorities at the
head of the section devoted to archae-
ology, in the department of agricul-
ture, take good care that no unauthor-
lied explorations shall take place.
Even explorations in the artificial
mounds, which exist by thousands in
the section around this city, are
strictly prohibited, though, of course,
more or less Of it is being carried on
under cover.
In former times. before the Next
can people begun 10 appreciate the
historic and sentimental value of these
pre-Columbian evidences, many exca-
vations in mounds and pyramids were
made by the Indians and many under
ground chambers were discovered.
These were fruitful of relics of the
long extinct race. some of them richly
rewarding the explorers.
Values Stolen.
The valuables, of course, were long
ago stolen. but there exists still sew
eral hundred curious figures generally
accepted as idols. Practically all of
these are of clay. bluish-black in color
and burned TO the point of yitrifica-
ton. All of them exhibit curious
and intricate designs. while many are
remarkable for their exquisite mold
ing and finish. particularly from the
standpoint of portraiture. Faces
which may have served as originals
for these moulders of the misty past
are every day encountered among the
local tribes.
