Ignite A NEW

Mitchell, no writes of the subject in
the November issue of the Geograph-
ic Magazine. TO drive out the steam
engine and substitute for it the gas
engine, with an incalculable saving
in fuel and increase in power
Ignite, the chief fuel likely to be
used in the gas producers of the fu-
ture, is widely distributed throughout
the United States, and is especially
abundant in the northern part of the
region between the Mississippi and
the Rockies and in Alaska. 1t is esti-
mated that We have in this country
exclusive OF Alaska, 74O billion tons of
Ignite, of which one.third is on pub
lilo land The Alaskan deposits are
estimated at 900 billion tons or more.
Peat. which may be used for gas pro-
duction, is also widely distributed in
regions that have no Ignite. as New

vastly reduce our annual loss from

both commercial and domestic.

The fact that Ignite Ia found az

WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF
PETROLEUM.

Canada was once a large producer
Of petroleum, and there are indica-
tions chat the Canadian northwest
may yet take an important place as
a source Of the worlds supply. Cali
ella, where the output has been about
100000 barrels, suddenly developed
In 1896 product Of 100000 barrels,
and has since trebled that amount
Roumania's output has grown great
ly In q dozen years. and the Dutch
fields In Borneo are increasing their
product Petroleum Is found also in
Mexico, Germany, Peru, Italy. Turkey,
Persia, Egypt. Algeria, Burma, New
Zealand. Formosa and in the coastal
region Of Alaska. while no one can
guess when immensely rich deposits
may be struck In parts of the United
States hitherto not important contrib
utors to the world supply Our con-
sui at Bagdad reports within a few
months important developments in the
oil fields at the head of the Persian
gulf. where the belt is believed to ex-
tend for 1000 miles Our consul at
Vera Cruz reported two years ago that
Mexico was destined to become an
important producer OF petroleum An
English company was then operating
wells and erecting refineries, while
an American company was also active.
Reports also came from India that
large and hitherto untouched depoS~
It's of petroleum were shortly to be
tapped, while the consul who sent this
news placed the petroleum production
of Burma in 1906-7 at more than g.
250,000 barrels Other consuls report
ed about the same great activity In
petroleum production In Formosa,
Chile, Colombia. North Borneo, where
a company with more than $4,000 600
capital was operating. and Hungary,
while the consular reports of 1910
speak OF active oil production In Spain
and of increased production and of

Says The Fortune Hunter
Will Not Play a Return
Date in Ogden This
Season.

For the benefit Of those who are fig
uring on seeing The Fortune Hunter
in Ogden at later date in the season
] wish TO state very emphatlcally and
on good authority from those who con-
troll this attraction that The Fortune
Hunter Will appear in Ogden but once
this season and that will be at the
Orpheum theatre tomorrow night. The
assertion has been made by certain
parties that this attraction Is to play
a return date In Ogden This is not
true as the company Is now on its
way East for u long run in Chicago
and the larger cities, and will not
come west again. In all fairness to
those who have changed their plans
IN regard to seeing The Fortune
Hunter take my denial for the above
as authentic. 1t will be in Ogden
tomorrow night only, and at the Or

these routes is to Hudson bay by
