L. DOHENY VENTUALLY we got the California situation we hand, and began looking around for other fields Mexico was the nearest and most attractive, for there had been many stories of untold quantities of oil, some of it bubbling on the very surface of the ground. We went down to check these reports. For a time we prospected, not on foot, as in the old days but by comfortable train. We went along the eastern coast to Cardenas, and investigated the oil exudes in that vicinity. Then, accompanied by Mexican guides, we pushed thru the dense underbrush of the jungle, finally reaching Huasteca plain, where we came upon a pool of oil. We went on and found one natural oil well after another in that jungle country back of Tampico, T immediately obtained leases on about 1,000,000 acres of this territory, and came home to organize a company to exploit the project. It was the most pretentious I had ever undertaken, for roads had to be built, pipe-lines laid, rail ways constructed, shops and warehouses erected, and a myriad other details arranged, before the mineral wealth ‘lof the interior could be brought to the sea for export Yet charges have been made that we have instigated revo lutions in Mexico—a land where we have sunk millions, Where we would be among the principal sufferers in a time of revolt and disorder! Nonsense. Absolute nonsense After beginning the development of the Tampico field we went south and turned our attention to the Tuxpan region, which produces a lighter oil. With this further experience I became expert at sensing lof oil, As a friend once put it: I was developing “The su- knowledge of being able to see into the ground.” And it is in the checking of this knowledge that I get the test joy of my oil developments. I don’t have to wait for the report on the financial end of the enterprise to get i in my “kick” out of it; I get it in formulating the plans and seeing them carried out. It is a success for me when a project is started to find out if there is oi! where I think it is. For I've come to believe that the calculating of the loca tion of oil becomes as exact a calculation as the solving of a » ‘mathematical problem. And if a man knows his business, and has the time to Select his place, there is no reason why he should ever drill @ well in a dry hole. {In his next article Doheny explains his interest in government and why he “played polities.”) ‘ SECRET OF HAPPINESS” 7, Londoners Are fhe greatest menace on earth to ppiness is the il] health with which SG many women are afflicted.
