July 31 (By Central Press) -A grant of land made nearly 20 years ago to James. J. Healy, of Birmingham, by President Porfirio Dia of Mexico, has made a multimillion aire of Healy. After a long battle in Mexican courts, Healy has' been awarded $7;500,000 for oil taken from his lands. . Healy. a mining engineer, spent ifour years, from 1902 to 1906, in making a geological survey of Mexico for Diaz. When the task was , done, the Mexican dictator paid him off with a grant 'of 1. 120,000 acres of land. 700,000 acres of "which is located in the Cerrozul basin, state of Vera Cruz This is the same basin from which E. L. Doheny and his associates have obtained much of their oil. Healy, busy with engineering work ip various countries, thought little about his Mexican wastes until oil was found there In 1917 He then an officer of the eighty third division in France, and nat urally couldn't leave the .trenches to see about his oil fields. When Healy finally got to the Famous Yellowstone Geyser Slightly Slower in Action scene In 1919, he instituted suit. Those suits with the court award ing Healy. the value of the oil ex tracted plus ' interest. Govern ment figures kept for taxation purposes, gave an accurate check on the production from Healy's lands.' By agreement, the award was to be paid in Installments, the first one July 1 of this year and the 'rest 'in two similar install ments six months and a year later. respectively. ; The first. $2,500,- 000- has Just been deposited to Healy's favor in a Mexican bank and he has left to be Identified In person, a procedure necessary to Mexico. . . Healy, now nearing his 60's, was not a rich man before he won the Mexican suit. . Neither was he very poor. He counted his money bv the thousands where now-he counts it by the millions. As a matter of fact, the money means little to him. He has had enough of travel and excitement, having fought j through both the Spanish-America a and "World wars and all he desires now is to live in peace. YELLOWSTON.
