improved methods OF handling oil

rendered the deposits Of bltumious

worthy Of consideration. Field and

Lands Not to be Withdrawn.

Secretary Lano has, however. after
careful consideration, decided not to
recommend to the president at this
Time the withdrawal Of these lands,
| because of his belief that such action
might possibly result in retarding or
preJudicing the development of a new
mining industry in these portions Of
Colorado and Utah, especially at this
stage, when private initiative needs
| every inducement to test out the real
value OF the resources. Although tho
oil snales are undoubtedly a valuable
reserve resource, being capable of fur
hlshing a large and reliable supply
both OF fuel and Of fertilizing mate
rial In the form Cf ammonia salts.
there would seem to be no urgent pub
lie need for Withdrawing the land
from prospecting and acquisition I'M
der the existing laws, which are be-
lleNed TO be fairly adequate to meet
the present needs Of this prospective
Industry. In dealing with resource
whose present value is somewhat con-
Jectural, both as to market and as to
cost Of production, it seems wise to
avoid placing any possible hindrance
whatever in the way Of private en-
terprise at tho initial stage of deye3-
opment, and 20 favor utilization bv Of.
ierins to real producers every premi-
un that the present law affords.
Further Study of oil Shales 10 bc
Made.
It is probable. however. that the
geological survey will make more
detailed examination Of the Colorado
aud Utah shales and possibly the bu-
rgau OF mines may take up technologic
studies related to their utilization. Al
though, as stated, the oil shale in
ivstry Ions since ceased in the United
states, lt has persisted and apparently
ilourishcd In Great Britain and
France. In 1904 the production of oil
shalc In Scotland amounted TO 2 700
$40 tons with q content Of 63.OO0 OOO
gallons Of crude oil, yielding market
able products Of 2.51T.296 gallons OF
naphtha, 16.991,74S gallons Of burn
ing oil, 1897 tons of gas oil. 3q4S7
tons Of luhricaung oil, 22,476 tons of

Of oil shale in Scotland was s.15O.OOO
IONS, from which about 65. OO0 600 gal

Francis Ouimet, American open
golf champion, struck a mental haz-
ard in England and sat down to think
his way over it before mixing IN TOO
many matches. Ouimst said he did
not feel that he was primed for real
play. He therefore engaged in some
mental calisthenics.
Possibly that was the trouble with
the Giants and Athletics at the start.

p. [. the Real Surprise.

The real surprise In the American
league has been dished up by Frank
Chance. His New York Yankees are
a revelation as compared with the
team which struggled along last year
and went from April until June with
out winning game on their home
grounds. Not that Chance may be
a pennant contender, for again the
difference between April and October
looms up, but the spirit and general
work OF the present Yanks makes
former teams hiding behind that
name look like collection from the
morgue.
Opening the season. the rejuvenat-
ed Yanks ripped off tbs Athletics
twice in succession. Connie Mack's
clan, it is true, was not near up to
form, but Chances men tore into them
just as though they had finished cop
ping a pennant and were out to lick
the world There was no faltarins,
but a steady, boring attack and
stubbornness ON defense that check
ed the Mackmen on the same field
where they ran wild with the Giants
last Octobar.
