OIL AND GAS IS
GIVING OUT FAST

Further Set Back in Chemical
Industries Predicted before
Mining Engineers.

BlSBEE, Ariz., Sept 20.-A fur
Their handicapping Of the chemical in
dustries and the paint and dye manu-
featuring interests OF the country due
to a lack of manganese ores was pre-
dicted here today during convention
sessions of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers. This statement
was contained in paper by L. C..
Harder, of the United States geolog-
ical survey presented to the institute
members for discussion.
Mr.. Harder's treatise explained
that even at the beginning OF the Eu-
ropean war there had been great
decrease in imports Of both ores and
alloys of manganese and that since
1914 the price had risen from S37 per
ton to 800 per ton with ferroman-
ganese selling considerably higher.
Said Mr.. Harder: The situation
in the United States, at the present
time regarding the supply OF manga
nese ores and alloys OF manganese
is one of great seriousness and IL
likely TO become increasingly so while
the European war continues. The
dependence OF the country upon for
eign countries for this supply is be
ing forcibly indicated"
Another feature Of the meeting was
the statement in paper by David B.
Roger. of the West Virginia Geolog-
ical Survey. TO the effect that "the ex-
haustion of oil and gas in the United
States is proceeding at a rapid pace"
Mr.. Roger predicted that this prob
lem will be first partially solved by
the securing Of deeper producing hor-
lions in the high-grade oil regions
and later by the possibility of mining
deep laid oil and gas.
Gold and silver deposits in North
and South America were discussed
by Waldemar Lindgren. who said
that the South American mineral re-
sources in precious metals are less
than those OF the northern continent
and that even progress and enter
prise will be unable to raise its pro-
duction to approach the figures at
tanned by North America"
