Machine To Extract Oil
From ShnIe Is MUented

DENVER, Colo, March 27.-Oil to
supply the world for.thousands of years
has been made available by an inven-
tion said to rank with the steam en-
gine, the telephone, the automobile
and the wireless.
Engineers from all parts of the cOun-
try returned here today after seeing
the machine in operation in the shale
oil fields, l75 miles out of Debeque,
Colorado.
DR.. Visitor Anderson, president of the
Colorado School of Mines says the in
vention will revolutionize the oil in
dustry.
y The machine is II series of revolving
ret0rts which not only extracts the oil
st n rate of 100 to 200 barrels a day,
but also fractions the oil into gasoline,
phenole and other products of COM
mercial value.
The oils are drawn out in the form
of gas by n vacuum system and are
carried from tank to tank and con-
densed back into oils which settle in
various tanks.
Harry L. Brown, New York, is the
inventor of the new shale oil machine.
For two years he has been working
secretly in conjunction with n group
OF engineers, chemists and financial
pien in the mountains near Debeque.
Not until the machine was in operation

en- huge tract of shalc oil land, ne
quired by the financiers, and its sue
cess proven, was the invention made
known to the world. 1t is owned ex-
clusively by the inventor and his as
sistaIts.
Thomas Dwyer, Philadelphia, for
years chemist for the Dupont Company,
is the chemist in charge of the analyi-
cal work. So far he has developed l55
products from the shale out of the $50
he believes possible.
Among them is a large series Of med
icines, including aspirin.
Besides the aspirin, he has developed
dyes, perfumes and other commercial
products.
From the tailings Dwyer had made
synthetic rubber.
Among the scientists and financiers
present at the demonstration yesterday
were Frank +. Shepperd, of the Denver
company; c. r. Dcbuque,
mining engineer, Denver; Chester w.
Church, Chicago; Frederick NJ Brown
ing, oil cloth manufacture, New York;
