Gasoline from shaIe

In view of the ever-increaSing
demand for gasoline and the in
crease in price of crude oil, from
which it is obtained. it is impor-
tant to know that an almost mex
haustible supply of oil may be
obtained from the shale of north
western Colorado. northeastern
Utah, and southwestern Wyoming.
This shale contains materials
which, when heated, may be con-
verted into crude oil, gas, and
ammonia. The high cost of dis
tilling 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 con-
tinue to prevent it for some time,
but sooner or later this great
source of supply will be utilized to
supplement the decreasing produc-
ton from the regular oil fields.
The oil derived from the shale
is similar to that which is being
produced from wells at the rate OF
more than $50, 100000 barrels 6
year. When refined by ordinary
methods the shale oil yields an
average of about 10 per cent gaso
line, IS per cent kerosene, and {
large amount of paraffin. The
yield of gasoline from the shale
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-03-17

may probably be largely increased
by the use of refining methods
especially designed for that pur-
pose. The gas, which is very
good Illuminating gas, will perhaps
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 commercial fertilizer or other
nitrogen 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 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 suf-
fcient to satisfy all demands, but
for more than so years the oil shale
industry of Scotland has been a
very important one. In a 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 estimated 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
billion barrels of crude oil, from
which at least two billion barrels Of
gasoline may be extracted by ordl
nary refining processes.
AS was stated in the recent reply
of Secretary Lane to senate reso
luton on the subject of gasoline
The development of this enor
nous reserve simply awaits the
time when the price of gasoline OF
the demand for other distillatior
products warrants the utilization o.
this substitute source. This may
happen in the future. At all event:
these shales are likely to be drawn
upon long before the exhaustion o.
the petroleum fields"

Oratorio Society's

The Lyric theatre tonight will be
the scene of the most brilliant musical
production presented in the city in
many a day. The occasion is that of
the Bridgeport Oratorio society s
spring concert at which the tremen-
dous chorus of more than $50 voices
will sing Coleridg e-Taylor's stHiawa-
tfla.'' The chorus will be augmented
by three nationally celebrated soloists,
and the New York Philharmonic or
cttestFa, COMPOSED of 80 pieces, will
assist and preceding the choral work
will play the overture to the OPERA
Der Freyschuetz.
The sale of seats for this concert has
been of record breaking character and
indicates that Bridgeport society will
be out in full numbers this evening.
The boxes have been eagerly snapped
UP by persons DESTROYS of entertaining
their friends with the rare musical
treat and likewise blocks of orchestral
seats have been taken. This is not to
be construed that there aref no good
seats left because in fact, there is not
a poor seat in the etnire house for
concert auditors and the sale will con-
tinue at the theatre from 6 O'Clock to-
night, after Steinertss music store bus

Yale Loses Belts, One
of Most Likely Men
For 1916 Line Material

New Haven, April 3-Car1eton
Belts. one of the most brilliant foot
ball tackles and ends Yale has had
recently, has left college, depriving
the 1915 eleven of one of its most
valuable promised players. Ill health
kept Belts in the infirmary two or
three months, and it was certain, up
on leaving ii, recently that he would
lose the present year in his studies.
1t was hoped, however. that he would
return to college next fall, but he has
told his friends in this city that he
has decided to go into business. They
have tried in vain to induce him to
change his mind.
Belts came to Yale three years
ago with a brilliant preparatory
school record and was a valuable tao
kIe on his freshman eleven. In 1914
he worked his way by persistent up
hill struggle from the third eleven
to the varsity. He was the eleventh
member of the eleven to be picked
for the games with Harvard and
Princeton. He was used at right tao
kle, and, although exceedingly light
for the position, displayed brilliant
defensive ability and high speed.
His light weight made it certain,
however, that he would be unable to
win a regular position on the eleven
the past fall and Head Coach Frank
where he was practically certain of
selection for the final games when
he was injured in mid-seaSon. He
was in the infirmary the final month
of the season, leaving there after the
severe operation sometime after tn lie
football season closed. He has gone
to his home in Buffalo.

PLAZA

Waits a hve-part story of the
underworld featuring Jane Grey and
william Desmond, will be one Of the
big attractions on a splendidly DIVERSE
fed program of photo and vaudeville
features at the Plaza the first half of
the week. The story of the play is
full Of human interest and the in
tense1y dramatic scenes are many.
Miss Grey has a. remarkable foppor-
tunity for the display of her talents
anud versatility in the role of Rags y
& piano player in a cheap dance hall
who rescues a young minister from
himself after he has been unfrocked
for Drunkenness. and carried his at
tendant disgrace to the slurns where
he decides to end lit ALL. How the
pretty Rags helps him win back
his lost standing among men and the
church is interestingly told in this
wonderful screen play and it should
attract the ad1niration of all.
His .Wife's Mistake" a riotousIy
funny Keystone comedy with Fatty
Arbuclzle and Al St. John will be
shown.
The vaudeville bill is headed by the
Musical Noses, an elaborate musical
Extravaganza with isix clever young
people who have arranged delightful
repertoire Of numbers both old and
new The act is novelty staged and
costumed and should meet with the
approval Of the most fastidious music
lovers.
Baker. Sherman and Branigan, a
trio of mirth-mixers with good voices
and a knowledge of how to use them,
will also appear. They have a long
list Of triumphs to their credit and
expect a big ovation on their local
engagement.
Taber. and Han1ey in a singing and
dancing slxit which they choose to
title breezy Summer Wheezes,'' will
be on hand to strive for new honors.
Completing the variety features as
Bud Lorraine. The Cowboy Ven
tri1oqufst. whose wonderful gifts to-
gether with his original manner of
displaying them has made him a rag
ing favorite wherever he has APP
peared.

raisers of the training season, will
swell into a roar along the western
coast tomorrow, and, gaining in
volume, will spread eastward until the
raucous shrieks of the frenzied fans
meet and Tning1e with the booming of
the At1antic's surf. Eight days after
the Coasters have started the bail roll
ing, the well-known American League
of Mr.. Byron Bancraft johnson, and
the equally notorious National League
of the Hon. John Kinn1eyt Tener, will
weather ermitting-initiate their
f19I6 flag chasos. The fourteenth of
| April will see the Southern League
cleans in motion, and the eighteenth
| is the date set for the American AS
sociation'sS getaway. From then on
the baseball pot will boil merrily.
/ Many. new minor leagues have been
launched, and scores of cities that dis
appeared from the professional base
ball map in the disastrous years of
1914 and 1915 will again be in evil
dence. BY and large, it looks like a
| big year that we are facing, fellow
bugs.
Reverting to the Pacific Coast
League. there is every indication that
1 it starts its seventeenth annual cham
pionship race under the most auspic-
ious auguries, if you know what we
mean. The substitution of Salt Lake
] City for Sacramento last year, while
viewed with nnisgiving by some, proved
\ to be a happy solution of a vexing
problem. Salt Lake gave the Bees
more liberal support last year than
was accorded to. any other club in the
circuit by the home fans, population
considered. New broom some of
the knockers in other cities have been
saying, but t'Sour grapes is, likely
more pat. Cliff BIankenship is again
| the leader of the Salt Lake club,
which finished second last year. The
San Francisco Seals, last years
| champs, are again under the guidance
/ of Harry Wolverton, the former pilot
of the New York Yankees. The Port
| land Beavers, led by Walter McCredie,
look good for a comeback. After
winning four pennants in the five pre-
ced1ng years the Beavers landed in
the cellar in 1915. Rowdy Elliott is
the -chieftain of the Oakland Oaks,
and it is rumored that he is engaged
| in a dark, deep conspiracy to bring
about a repetition ) of the gladstone
season of 1912 when the Oaks grabbed
/ the bunting.
| In the South both the Los Angeles
and Vernon clubs are under new lead
ership. Frank Chance, whose name
has a strangely familiar ring, has been
engaged as the pilot of the Angelic
choir. The Seraphs haven't. won a
| pennant since 1908, and the fans of
| CIimateria are placing lot of con-
/ fidence in the genius of the former
Peerless Leader of the Cubs and not
/ quite SO peerless pilot of the Yanks.
The new manager of the Vernon Ben
| gals is Ham Patterson and the Tiger
rooters are hoping that he is the Ham
what am. Patterson has played ball
/ in Omaha, Crookston, Mimi, Oska-
Ioosa, Ia, and other places, and once
! played few games with the ST. Louis
/ Browns. He began his managerial
! career ten years ago in Oska1oosa. Ir
1908 he piloted the Pueblo Western
