WILL MAKE TESTS
OF LOCAL SHALE

A number of local citizens met last
night with Ernest Higgins and G.. z.
Holmes. expert shale men who came
here to look over the beds south OF
town. and To discuss the matter OF
constructing "A demonstrating plant for
the extraction of oil. parafln and
other products OF commercial value.
Messrs. Higgins and Holmes are
thoroughly familiar with the shale oil
industry. both having worked in the
shale mines OF Scotland. The former
is a chemist. and the latter is a me.
chaniCul engineer. They became in.
terested in the local field through
samples which were sent TO them and
which they analyzed. They spent Sun.
day in examining the deposits and
they are very enthusiastic over what
they saw. They say that there Is not
a possible doubt that the mines will
yield millions or dollars il the right
sort Of a plant is installed. Such a
plant would cost about 100000 per
unit
small demonstrating plant which
would handle four or FIVE hundred
pounds was discussed. and they said
that such plant could be constructed
for about $1,000. This plant would
positively determine the contents of
the shale and the cost of extraction
OF the commercial values.
According to the analysis made by
Messrs. Higgins and Holmes the shale
contains from eighty TO one hundred
gallons OF oil, and about one-third of
this Is paraiIln. This is about twice
as rich as the shale found in Scot
land, and which Is handled profitably
from depth OF fifteen hundred feet.
II is probable that local capital will
provide for demonstrating plant
with the hope OF interesting outside
fapitai To construct plant which will
handle the shale on commercial
basis
On account OF the immensity of the
deposits II IL realized that the opening
up OF the shale industry here would
make Elko the metropolis OF the state.
IL would be a great boon to the min.
ing industry OF the county. for Il would
furnish cheap fuel for the reduction
OF ores.

II Is believed from the examination
OF this process that Mr.. Crane could
erect plant at cost OF not more
than fifty thousand dollars, which one

itself in twelve months.
The study OF the distribution of

II evident that the new body of

1t is evident from very careful

that. in the first place, he has found
considerable supplies of valuable oil
