try will develop commercially into
stupendous asset to the State Of
Kentucky and to the country at large
as well,
Nor is Professor Grouse alone in
his belief, for at the meeting Of the
American Association Of the Pc
troleum Biologists in Tulsa, Okla,
Friday, March 18th, three papers
were presented by E. A. TRACER,
David White and w. r. Jellison,
all dealing with the subject of get
ting oil from shale.
OF Mr.. Jillison's paper the Tulsa
Tribune said:
The paper by Mr.. Jillison, who is
State Geologist Of Kentucky, outlin-
ed the various oil shale deposits Of
the United States, and emphasized
the fact that too much consideration
had been given the western shales.
According to Mr.. Jellison, extensive
deposits Of oil bearing shales occur
in the Appalachian regions.
The KY. Survey has been con-
Quoting extensive experiments on the
oil shales of that state, with very
gratifying results. The easily work.
able deposits of the state cover an
area Of 1,048, miles, and have an
average oil content Of 16 gallons
per ton. Mr.. Jillison estimates that
the oil recoverable from the Ken
lucky deposits is equivalent to twice
the present petroleum reserves OF the
United States.

ments in internal combustion en-
ginesf Partly. BY gasoline sub
stitutes, Partly.
But all Of these partial solutions
taken together will not solve the
problem in its entirety and we must
iturn to source Of crude oil hitherto
practically untapped in this country,
but utilized for some years in Scot
land. / speak Of our practically un-
limited deposits Of oil shales.
What, then, is oil shale and how
was it formedi In prehistoric days
mud was deposited in shallow lakes
and seas, as it is being deposited
today, and mixed with this mud was
organic matter either vegetable, such
as plants of various kinds, or an
imal, such as various varieties of
fish. or both.
In some places there was more of
this organic matter deposited than in
others. Subsequently this mud was
subjected to great pressure through
movements Of the earth's crust and
was consolidated into shale or slate
as we know it today, still containing
fragments of the organic matter
that the mud originally contained.
We thus see that the shale con-
tains no oil as such or, at least, only
negligible amounts, but does con-
tain organic matter to which The
name kerogen' has been given. This
organic matter when properly sub
jected to heat will give off gases,
consisting Of various proportions of
carbon and hydrogen, parts Of which
gases may then be condensed to form
a crude oil very similar to that OBJ
tanned from wells.
This destructive distillation of oil
shale has been carried on in Scot
land for the last sixty years, where,
because of economic conditions pc
'culiar to the locality, it has been
very profitable.
Indeed, around 1860, there was a
small plant near Vanceburg, KY, for
the extraction of oil from shale and
it was operated with profit until
the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania
lowered the price tc such an extent
that it could not compete with crude
from the newly discovered wells.
However, conditions again are be-
coming ripe for a recrudescence of
the industry in this country, and this
time on permanent basis.
The United States is peculiarly
blessed with oil shales widely scat
tered over its territory, but nowhere
are they found to better advantage
than in Kentucky. In this state there
are thousands Of acres and billions
of tons of oil shale amenable to
cheap, steam shovel methods Of min
ing, with water adjacent and rail-
road facilities at hand. The entire
border of the Blue Grass region,
from Yanceburg on the Ohio River,
at the north of Louisville on the
Ohio river to the west, shows oil
shale on the surface with thick
ness varying from few feet to $50
and 200 feet, and covered in most
places with scarcely any overburden.
Experiments have been conducted
for the last year and half, and
are still going ON, in the mining lab
oratory of the University of Ken
lucky, looking TO the commercial
ltilization Of these shales, and more
particularly to the development of
