NEW SOURCE OF FUTURE; Case.
LINE SUPPLY.

In view of the ever-increasing demand
TOR gasoline and the increase in price of
crude oil, from which it is obtained, it is
important to know that an almost mex
haustible supply of oil may be obtained
from the shale Of northwestern Colorado,
northeastern Utah, and southwestern
Wyoming. This shale contains mate
rails which, when heated, may be con-
verted 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 it
for some time, but sooner or later this
great source of supply will be utilized to
supplement the decreasing production
from the regular oil fields.
The oil derived from the shale is similar
to that which is being produced from
wells in the United States at the rate of
more than 250,OO0,O0O barrels a year.
When refined by ordinary methods the
shale oil yields an average of about 10
per cent gasoline, IS per cent kerosene,
and large amount of parafin. The
yield of gasoline from the shale may
probably be largely increased by the use
OF refining methods especially designed
for that purpose. The gas, which is a
very good Illuminating gas, will perhaps
be sufficient to furnish all the heat re-
CURED to distill the crude oil from the
shale.
The ammonia is a most valuable by-
product of the distillation and may be
utilized in the manufacture of CONNER
cial fertilizer or other nitrogen COM
pounds, as the market demands. The
United States Geological Survey has ex-
amined large areas of the shale in Colo
RADIO, Utah, and Wyoming and has made
many distillation tests. Some beds of
shale that are several feet thick will yield
more than barrel of oil to the ton of
:shale, and one bed 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 gallons
of gasoline by the present commercial
methods of gasoline extraction, and
larger yields may be made possible by
new methods.
Little attention has been paid to this
shale because the quantity of petroleum
produced from wells in the United States
has been sufficient to satisfy all demands,
but for more than so years the oil shale
industry of Scotland has been very i'm
portant one. In recent year more than
5000 men were employed in the industry
in that country, 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 esti-
mated that in Colorado alone there is
sufficient shale, in beds feet or more
thick and richer than the shale being
mined in Scotland, to yield twenty bill
lion barrels of crule oil, from which at
least two billion barrels of gasoline may
be extracted by ordinary refining pro-
cesses.
AS was stated in the recent reply of
Secretary Lane to Senate resolution on
the subject of gasoline: 'tThe develop
ment of this enormous reserve simply

awaits the time when the price Of gaso-
line or the demand for other distillation
products warrants the utilization Of this
substitute source. This may happen
in the future. At all events these shales
are likely to be drawn upon long before
