Wonders OF OIL
Just as reports are made public tell
ing Of the opening up of the new,
and what promises to be a very rich,
oil and natural gas fields in Central
Texas, there also comes from Colo
rado encouraging reports which refer
TO the discovery of new oil fields in
the ignite coal regions Of Northern
Central Colorado.
The indications are that this
field will prove to be one of the
largest in the far west. So also the
discovery has been made that some
OF the shale rock m. the far West
can be 90. treated as to .compel,it to
yield oil IN commercial quantities
and at low cost of ptoduction.
The method which will be adopted
will presuma bly, be similar to that
which has been successfully en-
ployed in Scotland for the extraca-
tion of oil from shale. One of the
best evidences that oil production
prospecting is in progress upon a
great scale is OF a kind which
should lead the people. to beware Of
making investment in the stocks
and securities which represent al
legged rich oil properties.
Some parts. of the far west are
flooded with prospectuses contain
ing Offers OF stock. some of Il as
low as ten cents share much of
it twenty-hvs cents q share. In
vestment in stock OF this kind is
a peril, but in view OF the fact
that in the great gamble" as the
oil men call 1t, which the oil-pro-
ducing industry represents the re-
wards in some cases have been so
stupendous that people forget dan
ger of loss and are still tempted
as in a lottery to venture some part
Of their money in enterprises Of
this kind.
But by far the larger part OF the
securities thus offered represent
properties which do not offer rea-
sonable prospect for commercial
