ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.
Visiting GeoIoeist Has Revolutionary
ideas-utah Oil and Gas.

Benjamin r Hoicomb. the Boston geo
! ioG1St who Is now in the city. and who,
of the region, at the north end of the
lake where the liquid asphaItum depos-
its are located. is firm in the cOnVic-
ton that gas and oil in tremendous guam
tlty viii surely be opened up in this
and probably ether valleys of the state.
Professor HOicomb not only advances
revolutionary ideas concerning the orr
gin of oil and petroleum gas but his
study Of different fields has led him to
the conclusion that in many instances at
least. the wrong idea is being carried
out Ia prospecting oil and gas fields.
! To Illustrate what he meant regarding
the latter proposition he yesterday said.
While investigating the liquid pc
troieum field at the end of the lake [
FOUND a company operating a splendid
rig. They We're peTched on an eminencc
and boring through the auticlinal fold
I IN the expectation that they would tap
tIie source OF the liquid asphalt gold
the man who accompanied me that they
would not get 1t there in d thousand
years. In boring they would go through
the folds near the surface and get be
low where the oil was deposit Ell in the
synclinsl folds of the uil-bearing strata
mis- mistake Is made in many places
The way 10 get the Hquid asphalt at
tho end of the lake is 10 bore close to
where IL seeps up through the assures
to the surface
Touching upon his theories respecting
the origin of petroleum. the professor re-
peated 4 statement which ne made to
the New York Herald about six weeks
ago. - follows:
/ That petroleum is due to decay of
marine life is to my mind uuscentific,
/ if not absurd The origin of the va
/ rious grades of petroleum. and, in fact
I coal as well. is certainly the result of
| condensed gases under various physical
/ conditions.

/ among other things. folds and fractures
throughout the strata of the various geo
