Board of Directors of the Union Oil Co. Mine at Bacuranao. tiiue. The Cuban Petroleum Co. has a tank of about 2,000 bbls. capacity, where the petroleum is stored until it is sent to tbe refinery, which is located at Belot in Havana. This refinery is operated by the West India Oil Refining Co. The petroleum pumped by the Union Oil Co. is said to contain 22% gasoline, some para- fin and other valuable substances. The Union Oil Co. operates four wells and is pumping approximately 35 bbls. daily from well No. 4 and 15 bbls. daily from well No. 5. Well No. 6 has been driven about 1,000 ft. with 6 inch pipe. A large tank of 50,000 gals, capacity has been built, as well as some other smaller tanks. Piping is laid from the large tank to the railroad station ac Minas, about two miles distant, where there is another tank of 50,000 gals, capacity. This company has already shipped 1,000 bbls., 700 of which went to Matanzas for refining and the balance to Regla and other places where the oil is used for fuel purposes. There are some 1,500 bbls. of oil ready for shipment, awaiting their removal to tank cars. As soon as the railway can handle this shipment, the West India Oil Co. has agreed to buy all that can be delivered. The Union Oil Co. uses some 10 bbls. daily to operate boilers and pumps, and has a pump- ing capacity from their tank at the wells to their tank at Minas of 60 bbls. per hour. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the working of these oil fields will result in the production of a large quantity of crude petro- leum. COTTON WASTE IN CUBA There is a dem.and in Cuba for cotton waste for machine wiping. The principal users of this material are the railroads and the sugar m.ills. The railroads, it is stated, buy all their supply direct through their purch;M-ing agents in New York City, and while many of the sugar mills buy from supply houses in Habana, still a considerable quantity is furnished by deal- ers in this city, the names of the principals of which are submitted. CHANGE OF ADDRESS Mr. Horace F. Ruggles, M.E., has changed his address and in the future his New York office will be at 108 Wall St.
