some gas and oil are found together
here, the big gas fields lie on each side
Of the gas trend. One gas field is

miles west. An area of four by six
miles west of here seems to be one

strikes gas in big quantities.
Just now the oil business is more

LAWRENCE, KAN. - (Special.)
Prof. E. Haworth, head Of the depart
ment Of geology, of the University OF
Kansas, is completing some manu-
script for the United States geological
survey descriptive of certain parts OF
KansaI and especially the oil and. gas
region. The manuscript is accom-
panied by numerous maps illustrating
the geological conditions. What is
known as the lola quadrangle is dis
cuSsed more fully in DR.. Haworth's
rep.rt than any other section. The
United States geological survey is
making map to cover the entire area
of the United States. The unit of size
is one-half a degree Of longitude to
one-half degree of latitude. The
maps are issued ordinarily on the
scale of half an inch to the mile. 1t
requires much time and hard work to
make a complete map Of one of these
quadrangles
In speaking Of the report, and the
geology of the lola quadrangle, DR..
Haworth said
1.-THE area included in the lola quad
rangle Is without doubt the most pro-
ductive area Of equal size in the state,
so far as developments have shown.
It includes all the gas of the lola pool
and the oil and gas of Humboldt,
Chanute, Erie and adjacent places.
Probably as great a profit is derived
from gas as from oil. We have enor-
nous zinc smelters which smelt three.
fifths of all the metallic zinc in Amer
lea, the largest Portland cement fac.

No one can tell why the territory
around Kansas City should not be-
come productive. The general geologic
conditions are precisely the same here
as they are within the lola quadrangle,
and 1t need not be much Of surprise
should good gas or oil wells be found
in near proximity to Kansas City"
In some places, the gas or oil is
found between the Erie limstone and

this condition is rare. At Paola and
Greeley, the gas is found in the shall
low ordinary shale. DR.. Haworth
said:
"At lola the gas sand is reached at
depth of about 900 feet. At Hum
boldt and Chanute, oil is reached at
from $50 to 800 feet. The drill passes
through the various beds of limestone,
shale and sandstone before reaching
the oil bearing sands. In general about
one foot Of limestone is found to two

The sands are very uneven1y dis.
tributed, which accounts mainly for
the unequal distribution Of oil and
gas. Occasionally little coal is
found, but not enough to have any spe-
cial value. Further to the southwest,
in the vicinity Of independence, few
drillers have reported heavy beds of
coal. No other substances of value
occur here, except the materials for
producing brick and Portland cement,
