commercial basis in Scotland for C
years.
In Colorado, Utah and Nevada, east
west and south of Salt Lake City, are
Shale deposits of unknown magnitude
and of richness surprising that OF
shales known elsewhere. Oil shale is
common and general term for sew
eral different geological formations
different in appearance and in gum
content.
Without attempting any elaborate
description, ii will be sufficient to say
that the Colorado deposit is found in
dense masses of black rock. often with
considerable fossil content. Some
southern Utah shale appears in broad
strata two or three inches thick, light
gray in color, and may be extracted
and handled like great planks. while
the Nevada deposit pronounced rich

more than half an inch thick, of fine,
even texture resembling an oil stone
and dark brown in color. II is readily
broken, even with the fingers.
Different Productive Methods.
Chemists say different methods of
reduction will be necessary in the
utilization of these various forms of
concentrating rock. A greater part

of laboratory investigation, is the au-

A fact which has been widely herald
ed. but which is pronounced of no i'm
pOrtance by the chemists. is that a
small shale reduction plant was built
at the university about a year ago. 1t
is not used now, nor did its use ever
have any special significance. To be
even more plain. the fact of this small
retOrt having been built at the univer-
Sity was seized upon by some pro-
mOters of ".shale oil" companies and
considerable advertising matter has
been circulated regarding an indus

The proper method of reduction (de-
structive diStillatiOn IS the chemical
term) of oil shales of the United
States has not been determined. Re
filming of the resultant crudes has not
been satisfactorily accomplished.
Chemists anticipate no difficulty in
