Observation-Disclosures

THE servants had retired and left
a the old lady alone. She sat be-
fore the decorated and lighted tree
that was burdened with gifts that
seemed to have no destinations. For
Mrs. Stone was long past the wanting
of gifts and no companions, young or
old, sat with her, because she wished
to be alone with her memories.
She was not as alone as she seemed
to be, for. in the great chair opposite
to hers memory placed the fairy figure
of the child who had glanced and
danced about the house and under the
Christmas tree of long ago. Beside
her there sat one who seemed to lay
his hand again upon hers in happy
and satisfied affection, while there
bent over her the strong and tender
youth who was once her hope for later
years. Again the old house seemed
full of Joy, and noisy merriment drove
out the deathIy stiffness. while the
tree that is always green spoke of the
of happiness.
The next day, when the servants
dismantled the evergreen tree, it was
found that every gift was marked
with name and they were busy that
Christmas morning I'm distributing new
happiness about the neighborhood-

TURKISH OIL FIELDS SO RICH
THAT OIL is DIPPED HVBUCKETS.

New York, Dee. 1S-The oil wells
of MOsul-the subject Of heated dis
cussion at the Lausanne Peace Confer
ence--are at present in an absolutely
primitive condition and virtually un-
exploited, but experts agree that with
modern methods of exploitation they
may develop into one of the worlds
richest oil fields.
The quality of the OH is considered
superior to that of the well-known
Russian wells of Baku, by the Cas-
plan Sea, which are now held by the
Soviet government of Russia.
Mosul is the principal city of Nor
thern MeStopotamia, and second IN
size only TO Bagdad, the Mesopotam-
ian capitol. The much-disputed oil
fields are situated TO the southwest,
east and southeast OF the city, being
scattered in the country known as
Kurdistan, which occupies the whole
northern part Of Mesopotamia. The
most important oil field in that of
Gayara, Immediately to the southwest
of Mosul. Its major part extends
along the right bank Of the Tigris
river, and even the water of that bib
lical stream in the neighborhood is
saturated with oil which often covers
great parts Of its surface.
The more noteworthy among the
other oil wells are situated in the
southeastern part Of Kudistan at
Kifri, Thuz-Khurmati, Kend-i-Shmin,
Kerkuk and Suleimanich. The oil re-
gion extends far into Persia.
A very rich oil field is also at Yak
no about a days ride to the north of
Mosul, while the neighborhood of
Erzerum and Van, in northeastern and
eastern Asia Minor, and even now I'M
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-12-18

der the occupation of The Turkish ma
tionalist army, is andGher territory
particularly rich in oils rs Isl
II would be a great error, however,
TO believe that the present condition
of these oil. fields is anywhere near
systematic exploitation, On the con
trary, they are all in u primitive con-
dition and have. up, to now served
merely 20 meet the personal needs Of
the population Of the neighboring viii
lagos. .tf.ttp 2tt s.tr
Practically all the wells are Just
simple pits, the oil forming little pools
in them. The natives dip buckets and
goat skins into them to remove the
oil, and sometimes ii is removed even
with palm leaves or the hollow hand.
It goes without saying that with
these methods of exploitation origi-
mating from the biblical period, the
oil wells of Kurdistar or, rs they are
better known, of the county of M0sut,
have not yet yielded any revenues
worth mentioning. But in trying to
lease them to foreign and American
enterprise for exploitation, the TUrk-
lsh government desires 10 open one
Of the richest natural resources of
its country to modern methods Of eE-
ploi.ation and organization.
The Tigris river IS very import
ant factor in the future transporta-
ton of the oil which will probably be
shipped down the river and into the
Persian Gulf by tank steamers.
With modern working methods APP
Piled to them, the oil wells of Mosul
viii probably become one of the most
powerful oil-producing districts in the
world, but until then the patient and
untning work of several years and
considerable capital will be necessary
to make them paying enterprise.
