How oil 1. "pi.cevered.-

In the early days Of the OIL industry
search for new oil fields were carried
on In haphazard way. Few or none
knew exactly where to look for petro-
leum pools, and II was usually only by
persistent drilling of wells and fools
luck" that prospectors made their
strikes. Vastly more failures than sue
cesses resulted from this unmethodical
procedure, and fortunes were sunk In
testing hopelessly dry or only slightly
productive territory. In course of time,
however, scientific ideas crept into the
plans Of the oil seekers and the geolo-
gist was called upon as counselor and
guide. Nowadays the judgment and
advice Of the man of science are indis-
pensable prerequisites to the exploita-
ton Of any supposed oil region. In
consequence, the pursuit of oil, though
still attended with risk and uncertain
ty, has been made far less a matter Of
guess work and chance and loss. The
geologist can not see all that the earth
hides In Its bosom, but from certain
indications he can determine whether
underlying strata on any given tract
may be probed with possibilities Of an
oil yield.-Leslie's.
