 THE} WORTHS PREMIER Oil. GUSHER HARNESSED 



The successful issue of a week's campaign, for which there had been months of prepara- 

 tion. The valve is in position and ready to close. All of the flow now passes through the 

 pipe, and the great reservoir of oil, 1,752 feet below the surface, is thus connected up with 

 the 8-inch pipe lines running down to Tampico, where tankers load to supply the oil-hungry 

 world (see other photographs of the Cerro Azul well on pages 196, 197, and 198, constituting 

 a pictorial history of the great Mexican gusher).
