In view of the ever-increasing de-
mand for gasoline and the increase
In price Of crude oil. from which it Is
obtained, it is important to know that
an almost inexhaustible supply Of oil
may be obtained from the shale OF
northwestern Colorado, northeastern
Utah and Southwestern Wyoming.
This shale contains materials which.
when heated, may be converted into
crude oil. gas and ammonia. The
high cost Of distilling oil from shale
as compared to the cost Of producing
oil from wells has thus far prevented
the development in this country of
such an industry and may continue to
prevent 1t for some time. but sooner
or later this great source Of supply
will be utilized to supplement the de-
creasing production from the regular
oil fields.
The oil derived from the shale is
similar to that which Is being pro-
duced from wells in the United States
at the rate of more than 25,00O,000
barrels a year. When refined by ord
mary methods the shale oil yields an
average of about 10 per cent gasoline,
35 per cent kerosene. and large per

Gasoline Can Now Be Extracted
From Shale, Say U. S. Biologists

petroleum produced from wells In the
United States has been sufficient to
satisfy all demands, but for more than
80 years the oil shalc industry OF
Scotland has been very important
one. In recent year more than s.
600 men were employed In the indus
try in that coutry. yet the average
yield OF oil per ton OF shale was much
less than that which appears possible
from the shale Of Colorado and Utah.
1t Is estimated that in Colorado alone
there Is sufficient shale, In beds three
feet or more thick and richer than the
shale being mined In Scotland, to
yield twenty billion barrels OF crude
oil. from which at least two billion
barrels of gasoline may be extracted
by ordinary refining processes.
AS was stated in the recent reply Of
Secretary Lane to senate resolution
on the subject of gasoline: "The de-
velopment Of this enormous reserve
simply awaits the time when the price
of gasoline or the demand for other
distillation products warrants the uni
lization Of this substitute source. This
may happen in the future. At all
events these shales the likely to be
drawn upon long before the exhaus-
tion Of the petroleum fields"

THE FERRIS BILL

HE stand taken by the Seattle
1 Chamber Of Commerce in favor
of development of water power II
worthy Of imitation by all commercial
bodies in the West, says the Portland
Oregonian. The resolutions expose
the hollowness Of the pretense that
federal control is necessary to pre-
vent harmful monopoly, and declares
the provisions Of the Ferris bill pro-
hibitive of development. It asserts
the rights Of the Western states to
the same control over their waters as
enjoyed by all other states.
In their efforts to Justify the Ferris
bill, advocates Of federal control and
of the restrictions imposed by that
bill persistently trot out the monopoly
bogey. In so doing they ignore en-
tirely the efficient regulative bodies
of the states and the right reserved
by the states to acquire water power
plants and sites by exercising the
right of eminent domain. Existence
of harmful monopoly is thus made i'm
possible.
They ignore also the fundamental
principle Of equality among the states.
That principle requires that the West
ern states have as full control over
their waters as have the Eastern and
Southern states. 1t forbids congress
to use government ownership Of
power sites as lever wherewith to
oust the Western states from control
of their water.
In this controversy it Is imperative
that the people Of the West stand to-
gether for the full development Of
their water resources under state au-
thority. The interest Of California,
Oregon and Washington Is identical in
this matter. Their people should pull
together and should refuse to be
deluded by those who falsely charge
the defenders Of their rights with be-
ing the tools Of a power trust, which
lis wholly mythical.

cent o.. paraffin. The yield of gaso-
line from the shale may probably be
largely increased by the use OF refin.
ing methods especially designed for
that purpose. The gas. which Is a
very good Illuminating gas, will per-
haps be sufficient to furnish all the
heat required to distill the crude oil
from the shale.
The ammonia is most valuable by
product Of the distillation and may be
utilized in the manufacture OF COM
mercial fertilizer or other foreign
compounds. as the market demands.
The United States Geological Survey
has examined large areas of the shale
In Colorado, Utah and Wyoming and
has made many distillation tests.
Some beds OF shale that are several
feet thick will yield more than bar
rel Of oil to the ton OF shale, and one
bed six inches thick will yield more
than two barrels of crude oil to the
ton Of shale. One ton OF this shale
should therefore yield nearly 10 gal
Ions Of gasoline by the present COM
mercial methods of gasoline extrac-
tion. and larger yields may be made
possible by new methods.
Little attention has been paid to
this shale because the, quantity Of

wni> key Information charging Lee on
three counts was filed in the sup sricr
court against him by County Attorney
Fl G.. Richardson.
For some time Lee has been sus-
pected of selling intoxicating liquors,
hut it swas not until last week that he
was caught red-handed. On Wednas-
day Juan Lopez and Louis c. Coleman
each obtained quart bottle of Chi
nese whiskey from the Chinaman
When this was reported to Sheriff Hall
he marked two dollars and a half. and
sent Coleman on Thursday to buy an
other consignment of the Oriental con-
coction. Deputies Kent and Hines
were stationed close to the laundry,
and as Coleman came out he was stop
Jed and searched. A quart flask of
Chinese whiskey was found in his
possession. Then the deputies went
inside, and despite Lees remonstrances
searched the laundry. They found a
dozen or more bottles of the Chinese
brand of intoxicant, and upon search
ing All Lee found the marked coins in
his possession.
Preliminary hearing was set for last
Saturday, but upon filing information
against the Chinaman by County Aat-

With the arrival this week of Don

for the beginning of active operations
at the company's property, three and

from the company's property to the

the new company, which has been fin

Gently:
That in Arizona is to be found the
largest and richest vanadium property
in North America and that this prop
erty embraces the thirteen claims and
eight locations of the company, is the
belief of the officers and stockholders
of the United States Vanadium Devel-
opment company, purely local con-
cern, incorporated under the laws of
Arizona. So well satisfied are the
members of the company they have al
ready over subscribed the initial al
lottment of stock for development
work.
z Located in the Riverside Mining dis
trict, Pinal county about three and one
half miles northeast of Kelvin. the
claims and locations are within easy
reach of Erman station, which it is
expected will be used as a shipping
station. Already work has been begun
on new road with very uniform
grade Of about five per cent which
may be travelled by motor cars either
to Erman or to Kelvin station
Present plans further than the con-
struction of the road, call for devel-
opment of the ore zones as fast as pos
sible. A carload or two of the ore will
then be shipped to Denver to learn
economical to erect for the concentra-
tion of the ore. This decision reached
complete plant will be erected imme-
diately.
