VOLCANOES STEAM
TO RUN FACTORIES
DRILLERS TRYING TO REACH
CENTER OF KILAUEA. MAKE
ONLY FOUR FEET IN DAY.

HILO, Island of Hawaii. Drilings
into the volcano of Kilauea on this is
land, in the hope of discovering some
means of Harvesting the steam and
heat of the natural phenomenon and
utilizing the resulting power in indus
try, have brought to light apparent ex-
istence of iron and copper in the noun
famous crater, according to scientists
directing the drilling.
The material through which the
drills are sinking consists of a silicious
ore containing iron suphdes and py-
rites which indicate the presence OF
copper.
Work Hampered by Heat.
The drilling, which was interrupted
by the recent activity in craters /
miles from Halemaumau, the active
pit OF Kilauea, has been conducted I'M
der difficulties. due to the excessive
heat of the region and the fact that live
stream rises in clouds and condenses
around the boring rig.
The steam, however, is only surface
steam or water vapor caused by seep-
age OF rain from the ground surface
and the drills are not yet down to a
depth where it may be determined
whether there is sufficient steam at a
high enough temperature to furnish
steam that may, in turn, be used com
mercially.
The heat at the present depth of the
drilling appears to be fairly constant
at a temperature of 963 degrees cent?
grade, or approximately 204 degrees
Fahrenheit
The question confronting the scient-
lists is whether this heat will increase
as the drills bite their way through
the lava rock. which has proved diff
cult of penetration at some point.
where only three or four feet resulted
from entire operations of a day.
Much Interest in Experiment.
The first hole attempted was driven
approximately 20 feet when it was
found that the rock beneath was tilted
at such an angle that the drill was
directed on a slant which would have
made extrication of the tools impossi-
bic. This hole was capped and another
started with the same result, but more
favorable conditions were found in sew
eral other locations and it is hoped
that eventually the drills may dig their
way down at least 100 feet The drill
ing experiment is of tremendous inter
est to scientists and biologists, who
hope that it may solve the question OF
what is underneath a volcano.
