"There is no demand for such legls-

OIL AND Gas GOOD
FOR hundred YEARS
PRODUCTION is JUST BARELY
TOUCHED SAYS STATE GEO
LOGIST GOULD.
Special to the World.

Special 10 the World.
Norman, OKLA, July 2S.--The sub
iect Of oil and gas never grows old In
oklahoma. Almost every week we
read Of n new oil or gas well. Only
very small per cent Of the prospect
holes put down have proved barren.
Already oklahoma ranks with tho
most productive OF her sister states
IN oil and gas production. And yet
Oklahomas oil and gas development
Is In It's infancy, and much of the de-
voloped section is not being utilized.
Charles N, Gould, director of the
geological survey at Norman, In one
of his publications, remarks:
at conservative estimate, not TO
exceed 25 per cent Of the gas so far
discovered IN oklahoma is now being
utilized. Part OF II Is shut In, walt
Ing chance for utilization, but much
of Il Is going 10 waste. II must be
remembered however that only rel
atlvely small per cent Of the oil and
gas region Of Oklahoma has ever been
prospected. and still smaller part
developed. There Is enough pros
pectlve territory untouched In Okla
homa to keep the drlllers busy the
next fifty years. Counting fifty years
more for the last well brought In, and
assuming that the greater part Of the
gas will be utilized and not permit
ted to go to waste, we may approSl-
mate 100 years as the life Of the oil
and gas field Of Oklahoma"
When the extent and value Of these
