LOOK TO RUSSIAN OIL FIELDS
Are Certain to Play an important Part

more expensive foreign product, there

and factories have gone over to
naphtha as fuel and the consumption
is increasing every year.
Russia owns immense oil fields and
1t could be the chief supplier of the
world. The need Of organization in
the business Is recognized by the
government and a number Of special
meetings have been held for Discuss.
ing the subject. New conditions have
been laid down for the exploitation OF
government territories, and the regu-
lations for Investigations have been
changed. Some territories known as
being rich in oil have been closed to
private enterprise. such as the Ap-
sheron peninsula. near Baku. and vari-
GUS islands Of the Caspian sea. as well
as some territories in the Transcas-
plan Ural and Gerghana districts. and
others In the north Of Russia and ST.
IBERIA, amounting to millions of acres.
The reason for this action Is the wish
to preserve these districts from ex-
haustion.
Another question concerns the mat
ter of investigation. 1t IL quite neces-
sary that tho right of investigation be
granted on . large scale, and not only
for comparatively small lots of ground
where the investigation might not pay.
The government Is aware Of this fact,
and, according to the new regulations
the plots Of ground allotted for inves-
tigation are to be'increased tenfold.
The most advisable system Is to
grant concessions that would induce
capitalists to place their money in
such undertakings. Under the new
regulations regarding the investigation
OF naphtha districts. the government
proposes to publish geological de-
scriptions Of the various districts.
