The Mystery of Salt Domes
BY Garrett p. Serviss.

Thousands Of oil wells in Louisi-
ana and Texas. and in other fiat re-
gions. are driven on the SUBMITS
and slopes of salt domes. Many
readers have probably never heard
of salt domes, and indeed, they are
one of the mysteries of geology, yet
they are of immense practical i'm
portance, and method of quickly
and surely locating hidden domes
might go far toward saving the
world from a dearth of natural oil
and gas.
Mr.. Eugene w. Shaw of the U. S.
geological survey suggests the pos
sibility Of using the varying inten-
sity of gravity for detecting the ex-
istence Of the precious domes when
their presence Is not evident on the
surface. This method depends up
on the fact that a deposit of rela
lively heavy material at no great
depth under the surface causes a
local increase in the intensity of the
force Of gravity, which can be
measured by the swing of a pendu-
lum.
The process is a delicate one, but
as MT. Shaw says: THE time will
no doubt soon come when it Will be
profitable TO spend a great deal Of
money searching for salt domes. for
] - la
to contain oil than the surrounding
country"
A salt dome, such as these found
IN the fat regions of Louisiana and
Texas, is usually of nearly equal
length and breadth, rarely exceeding
two or three miles in its lateral di-
mansions. or falling below a half
mile Some -iomes. Mr.. Shaw says.
are marked by knobs from two or
three 10 80 feet in height, while
others that are very high struc-
turally have little or no effect on the
surface"
Again, he says that some make a
conspicuous hill, some. through re-
cent solution Of the salt make a de
preston, or basin, and some make
little appearance on the surface.
The salt core sometimes lies at a
slight depth and sometimes at a
great depth
The substance of a salt dome
comprises, in addition 10 salt, dol
omite, gypsum, sulphur, compressed
clay. and possibly igneOus rock"
Usually, if not invariably the dome
contains valuable pools OF oil and
gas. Some domes appear TO lack
these pools. but continued investi-
cation generally results in their dis
cOvery.
From what has been said. il is
evident that by far the greater part
OF the body Of a dome lies beneath
the surface. descending often 10 a
great depth, while the projecting
portion is relatively small.
Little is known concerning the
lower parts Of deep domes, and con-
| sequently their mode OF origin is
undetermined. One suggestion is
1 that they are the result Of volcanic
action, which sometimes thrusts up
plugs OF igneOus rock, but this seems
inconsistent with the fact that deep
| borings do not reveal the existence
| OF igneous rock in or under the
! domes. Where they exist there is
