6 NEWS OF THE MINES AND OIL FIELDS TWO BIG DOHENY COMPANIES WILE PAY STEADY DIVIDENDS Huastca and Mexican Petroleum Limited, by Meeting of Directors, Are Now Ready to Distribute Earnings-One Doheny Well Alone Yields 30,000 Barrels Daily-Over $600,000 Is Set Aside for Pipe Line and Tank Construction - Oil the Chief Agency in Mexico's Advancement OH developments in Mexico under the masterly direction of Edward L>. Do heny are doing more for the advance ment of that republic than any other agency and at the same time bringing into local people's hands large sums derived from the output. This fact was again emphasized yesterday when the directors of the Huasteca Petro- | leum company and the Mexican Pc- i troleum company decided to declare regular dividends. On the Mexican Petroleum Limited the dividend will be paid every quarter, amounting to $1 a share. The Huasteca dividend will be one cent a share a month. These two dividends will make a very large total ! . earnings. The reg ular monthly dividend of the Huasteca will aggregate $120,000 and the quar terly dividend of the Mexican Petro leum limited will amount to $290,000. The Huasteca Petroleum company is considered the cream of all the Doheny properties In Mexico and America and i of It Mr. Dohony is most proud. Ha ! says that one of the wells on this property has a production of between 28,000 and 30,000 barrels a day. This well is only partly open and shows a pressure of 280 pounds. This is the ca pacity of the Tamplco pipe line. The production is only Interrupted when the storage facilities at Tampico and the capacity of the Mexican National railway to move oil, have been exhaust ed. Oil is stored at various places along: the pipe line. DEVELOPMENTS UNDETt WAY Developments now under way by th« Doheny Mexican companies represent an expenditure of $600,000. These de velopments include steel storage, rein forced concrete storage and the com pletion of the pipe line from Tampico to Cera Azul. The pipe for this line Is now on the ground, the distance to complete the line being about twenty five miles. This line Is now open be tween Casiano and Tampico. The quarterly dividend of the Mexi can Petroleum limited will be paid on stock on record December 31. This will be for the last quarter of 1910, and the dividend will be distributed as soon as possible, probably very early in Janu ary, 1911. The Huasteca Petroleum company sold in October 330,333 barrels of oil, bringing $460,481.65, Mexican currency. The chief purchasers were the Mexican National railway and the Waters- Pierce Oil company, although the Hu asteca has contracts with four other large consumers. The Mexican Petroleum produced and sold during October 215,733 barrels of oil, which brought $205,708.60, Mex ican currency. The two companies have 691,527 barrels in storage. DOHENY HOLDINGS The Huasteca company has bought In El Paso 100 teams of the finest mules procurable, which will be used with 800 other teams owned by the company In excavating for an addi tion of twenty-two miles to the com pany's pipeline, now seventy-six miles in length. The pipe for this extension is on the ground. When additional sixty oil tank cars, just bought by the company, reach Tampico, 530 of these cars, including 480 owned by the Mexican National railways, will be used for transporting oil produced by the Huasteca and Mex ican Petroleum companies. These cars have a capacity of 12,300 barrels each. Three special engines are used sole ly for hauling oil trains from Tam pico, each engine carrying out sixty to eighty cars daily. The Mexican Asphalt Paving and Construction company, also a Doheny organization, is operating its large plant at Ebano to its full capacity, this being one of the largest plants of the kind in the world. The Mexican National Gas company, of which Mr. Doheny is president, Is extending its service in the City of Mexico as rapidly as possible, six gangs of men being employed continuously in laying pipe. The plant, which is one of the most complete in America, is using 200 bar rels of oil dally, and the amount will be greatly increased as the system is extended. The Mexican enterprises of which Mr. Doheny is the head represent In land holdings and improvements an aggregate investment of $29,400,000. Of this amount $5,000,000 stands for im provements. The properties, which were all visited in the course of a recent trip of inspec tion by Mr. Doheny, Included the gas plant of the Mexican National Gas company at the City of Mexico, and the paving plants of the Mexican As>' phalt Paving and Construction com pany at the City of Mexico, Guadala jara, Pueblo, Chihuahua and Tampico. Other similar plants have been ar ranged for at Monterey, Durango and Morelia. PROPERTY INSPECTED The oil producing properties that were inspected were those of the Mexi can Petroleum company of California at Ebano, the Huasteca Petroleum company, the Tamoahua Petroleum company and the Tuxpan Petroleum company, all situated In that region bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, known as Huasteca Vero Cruzana. Referring to the public utility under takings that he is directing in Mexico, Mr. Doheny said: "Our gas plant at the City of Mexico is one of the finest and most up-to-date establishments of its kind to be fourfil anywhere, and the lighting and fuel gas that we are supplying is meeting with gratifying appreciation. We shall eventually supply not only the City of Mexico but many suburbs that cluster around It. Manager Ross says that the actual sales will ultimately reach 6,000,000 cubic feet daily. The capacity of our present plant, however, is 1, --650,000 cubic feet dally, so you can lee exactly how much we shall have to expand to meet the market tor light ing and fuel gas. The City of Mexico is having a steady growth and we aim to keep abreast of It. "Carl Leonardt, who may be trusted to have a discriminating eye for archl tctural effects, was greatly Impressed by the transformation effected by the asphalt paving In Pueblo and other ancient Mexican cities. Pueblo and. Guadalajara, in particular, are Interest ing because of their attractive archi tecture dating back to the days of virile old Spain. Architectural beauties which the average tourist does not j know exist in Mexico have been made I Accessible by the asphalted streets. JAMES WYNKOOP The newly-paved thoroughfares are kept more scrupulously clean than those of perhaps any American city, and where before the cobble-covered, Utter strewn thoroughfares rather discour aged the travel of visitors, now it Is a pleasure to traverse them." SENSATIONAL, ACTIVITY At the Ebano oil field the Doheny party found all conditions satisfac tory. It was in the Huasteca dis trict that scenes of sensational activ ity were encountered. "Casiano No. 7, the greatest well of the district," said Mr. Doheny, "has an output of 28,000 barrels dally. It is under a pressure of 280 pounds and at present is chut in 50 per cent Well I No. 6, of 15,000-barrel output, is shut in entirely under 570 pounds pressure. All the production of the Huasteca field Is sold as rapidly as it is de livered. The largest pipe line delivery a day to date has been 30,000 barrels, but when the storage at Tampico bo comes sufficient the pipe line will carry 32,000 barrels daily. By railroad we are transporting 20,000 barrels a day. "We have everything but ample storage but we shall not be behind in that respect very long. When I was on the scene one 66,000-barrel steel storage tank was being com pleted every nino days and arrange ments had been made to put on an extra crew of tank builders. Steel storage tanks, each of 56,000-barrel capacity, will from now on be com pleted at the rate of five a month. Nine are already in commission. Twen ty-four in all will be built. "In addition, Mr. Leonardt, who is the leading reinforced concrete con structor on this coast, has begun j building for the Huasteca Petroleum | company at Tampico a reinforced con crete reservoir that will hold 1,250,000 barrels. "At the San Oeronimo pipe line station he will later on build another reinforced concrete reservoir that will have a capacity of 750,000 barrels. A ; third reinforced concrete reservoir will be built one mile from the Casi ano wells of the Huasteca field. This reservoir will hold about 600,000 bar rels of oil. "Before I left Mexico 100-mule teams and scrapers had been brought : in from El Paso by the company and : started to work by Mr. Leonardt ex cavating for the big reservoir at Tam pico Twenty-two carloads of lumber had arrived from the Chihuahua lum ber mills and seventy-five carloads of machinery from El Paso. In addition to all this more lumber and all kinds of oil well supplies are arriving week ly from the United States at the port of Tampico. The business of the port of Tampico is Increasing by leaps and bounds It will continue to Increase and it is all petroleum business, Mex ican Petroleum Limited business. LOOKS TO MARKET "But large as the construction part of our business Is we are not neglect ing the marketing end. In October we marketed 353.000 barrels of Huasteca oil and 199,000 barrels of Ebano oil. This month the amount sold will be between 650.000 and 600,000 barrels from the Huasteca company alone and up ward of 200.000 barrels from the Ebano fields of the Mexican Petroleum corn- Not the least important statement made by Mr. Doheny concerned the construction of a seventy-mile steam railway, starting at the north end of the Mexican Petroleum, Llmited's, holdings and traversing their entire length to the Tuxpam river. The ties are already on the ground for this road, the entire cost of which will be close to $1,000,000. Construction cost will bo low, owing to the fact that the grades will be easy and the bridges few. The land holdings of the company comprise 700,000 acres, a large part of it the best kind of agricultural land. Unlike the company's railroad from the Huasteca field to Tampico, this new line will serve the public also and will facilitate the marketing of farm products. Incidentally it will give an impetus to other industries than pe troleum producing in this newest of the world's great oil fields. It will thus be seen that no feature of industrial development is being neg lected In that part of the Mexican re public that is the scene of the Mexican Petroleum, Limited s, activities The company has its own telephone line from the Ebano field to the south terminus of the pipe line, a distance of 102 miles. It has also secured a concession to lay a telephone cable under the Panuco river at Tampico; also a concession to lay a pipe line undi r the same river, by which it will be able to reach the Waters-Pierce tanks at Tampico and the loading racks on the National railways Mr. Doheny will return to Mexico Thanksgiving for a further inspection of his properties. WELL FINANCED CO.

However, when the dike was broken out Sunday the well began to flow with a great rush and soon had the crown block beaten off the derrick. Nothing can be done to control the flow now or until the well sands up. The well is about a mile east of the big Santa Fe well which brought In a gusher a year ago. The oil tests at 22 gravity.

MINERS FLOCK INTO GOLD ROAD COUNTRY Recent Developments Place Re gion in First Rank Among America's Producers Loading mining men of tha country are going to Mohave county, Aria., as a result of the wonderful showing the mines of that district are making. Mohave county Is recognized all over the country as one of the best mining districts In the United States and the latest developments promise to place the mines in the class of Goldfleld. Kean St. Charles of Kingman, Mo have county, says the hotels there are overrun by gold seekers and experts, and accommodations are In demand. In speaking of his district Mr. St. Charles says: "William Farlsh of New York was correct when he made the statement that Mohave has the greatest zinc de posits In the world, and he would have been correct had he said Mohave lias the greatest gold mines In the world." Mohave county has the "Gold Koad" mine that has an ore shoot of 1300 feet in length with an average of sixteen feet in width. A mill there now In operation is crushing 300 tons of ore dally and producing more than $100,000 In gold bullion monthly. It Is estimated that they have $15,000,000 of ore blocked out in the "Gold Road" mine and will double the capacity of the mill at once. In the vicinity of the "Gold Road" is the noted Tom Reed mine I that produces $15,000 a month from a I ten-stamp mill, and a tube mill. The ore averages $42.50 a ton in gold. Their new addition to the mill will be in operation within thirty days, which will assure an output equal to that of the "Gold Road" mine. In the Gold Crown mine, twenty-five miles west of Kingman, is probably the largest and most valuable gold reef in the world, with the probable ex : ception of the Consolidated mines at j Goldfleld. They have a reef of ore ! sixty feet wide and have drifted on it SOO feet with a total tonnage of ore in sight estimated at 1,000,000 tons, that has an average of $14.40. At this place a 100-ton reduction plant is be ing erected and when completed will : add a capacity of 400 tons more as ! fast as it can be put in, making the : largest gold reduction works in Ari zona. These three mines will produce, when j In operation, more than the remainder of the territory in gold. These are the three open gold mines in the county but there are many more prospects that i look Just as favorable. Mohave coun : ty now ships more zinc ore than the I remander of the territory. Mr. St. Charles says that Mohave county is certainly the home of min erals and is fast being occupied by prominent mining men of>the west.
