It is not generally known that
the world's greatest oil wells
today aro located in Mexico.
Ono well that wbb producing GO.
000 barrels of petroleum daily
for eight years past has boen
closed by flooding. This well in
measured capacity turned out
120,000 barrels of crudo oil per
day in a steady stream for eight
years. Another Mexioan well
at Ccrro Azul, brought in in
February 10, 1910, has u tested
capacity of 310.000 barrels daily.
On account of limited pipe lino
it hits boen throttled down to a
flow of fifteon thousand barrels
per day. While tho English
capitalists havo oil interests in
Moxico, America investments
aro atill larger. Tho joint In
forest of our country nnd Great
Britain in oil supplies from
Moxico make friendly relations
important. Oil may bo the
means of allaying all troubles
on tho waters of international
atrifu between tho two repub
lies.
