Educational Facts on Shale
Continued from last week. }

Due to the great increase in
the demand for OIL and Petrol.
cum products and the gradual
exhaustion of the supply from
wells, great deal of publicity
has been gwen to the Oil Shales
in various papers and magazines,
for the Shales are unquestiona-
bly, the future source of supply.
In most of these articles, the
Shales of the West have been re-
ferred to and the reason for this,
is the tremendous difference in
the size of the Eastern and West.
ern deposits and the difference
in their oil content per ton.
Practically no attention has
been paid to the real commercial
difference of the two shales, and
as 1t is commercial production
that must in the end be consid.
cred, comparison is fairly in
order.
The things to be considered,
are the value of the products to
be obtained Per ton of shale, or
rather per cubic yard of shale;
the ease and certainty wlth
which these products may be
marketed the cost of production
and proven and satisfactory
method of handling the crude
product.
In the first place, while the
western deposits tower two thou
sand feet from the working lev.
els, they are not all workable
shales. The shale does not run
uniform from top to bottom as
our shale does, but in layers of
different depths, some of which
can be worked and othere which
can not. This means shaft or
tunnel mining and Is very eX.
pensive. The writer last fall Wis.
tied the Colorado deposits and
plants In and around De b que,
Colorado and states these facts
from personal observation. One
plant hauls its shale In buckets
down a wire cable tramway over
five thousand feet of rope to the
plant. This plant is located sew
eral miles from a railroad and s
Colorado at this point is semi.
ARID, has no water for any pur.
pose and water is essential to
commercial operation. Our shale
as you know, is close to both rail
and water, and also near the
market in which the products
can be sold.
You often hear that no salts.
factory method Of retortiug the |
shale has been developed. This
is largely true of the Western
shales, but not all true to those
here, for as stated in previous
article our shale is similar TO the
one worked successfully in Scot.
land for the last seventy years.
There are possibly fifty different
types of retorts built or being
built to handle western shale,
none of which have vet proven
entirely satisfactory. The reason
for this is due to the different
geological characteristics Of the
shales of Colorado and Utah.
The western shale is almost en-.
tirely of vegetable origin and
very much younger than our De-
woman Shale-approximately one
as old. Struck with
4 hammer, our shale gives off a
,lear, ringing tone characteristic
Of all hard rocks, while the west
ere shale gives back a dull sound
ike the striking of a hard oak
block. This simple test, will
give you some idea of the differ.
,nce in the crushing and the
handling problems, and the real
Inference is even greater than is
10 simply indicated.
Steam Is essential to the pro.
iuction OF Ammonia Sulphate !

IT Is understood the Attorney General
manifested readiness to submit a
