In view of the ever increasing de-
mand for gasoline and the increase In
price of crude oil, from which 1t 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 COM
pared to the cost of producing oil from
wells has thus far prevented the de-
,tl.pAsnt in this county 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.
