Arrangements are being carried out In
Chile for radio broadcasting system to
embrace every town and city in the
country as well as those in contingent
territories, according to advices from
Commerce. A syndicate known as Radio
Chileno plans to erect two new stations,
one in the south Of the country at Te-
muco and the other at Antofogasta, in
the nitrate zone. Their principal station
at Santiago has been in operation Tor
some eight months, but, in view Of the
unsatisfactory results obtained with the
present equipment the station will be
dismantled and re-equipped with modern
American apparatus of the Same type
and power as that purchased for the
new plants During the change over a

ders Of closed basins more or less
surrounded by mountain uplifts.
Such minor folds are of necessity
more numerous adjacent to the
mountains, inasmuch as the noun
tains represent lines of disturbance
and the rocks adjacent to- them are
more likely to be cromp!ed and fold
ed than are the same beds at a dis
lance from the mountains.
That oil is more likely to accumu-
late in folds occurring around the
edges of closed basins is a fact which
is beginning to be more and more
appreciated. The reason for this is
by no means clearly understood, but
doubtless has to do with the circu-
lation OF ground water thru the beds.
Briefly, then, the principal depos-
Its of oil in the Rocky Mountain re.
gfon are found in the Frontier and
Dakota of the C%retaceous, and occurs
in folds on the borders of closed ba-
sins. Let us turn to- the maps Of
wyoming and Colorado and consider
these facts with reference to them.
Many Ranges Induce Folding
Except for the great mountains
OF its extreme western border, Wyo-
"'io 10 q a VI many Soilpdl htlNt-
ly small mountain ranges. These
mountain ranges divide the state into
numerous great basins. In the
northeast there is a great basin lying
between the Black Hills in the east,
the Laramie Mountains and the
Hartville uplift on the south.
West Of the Big Horn mountains
Is the Big Horn Basin, bounded on
the east by the Big Horns. on the
south by the Owl Creek and on the
west by the ranges south of the
Yellowstone park.
The Laramie plains occupy an
other great basin, the Red Desert
country another, and the valley of
the Green river another, while the
valleys of the Sweetwater and the
Wind river r divided by numerous
small ranges into several minor
basins.

/ have heard repeatedly this spring
the remark that Colorado will un-
doubleday be as great an oil produc-
ing state as Wyoming, and 1 should
like to take a little time to- compare
the geology Of the two states and to
point out some fundamental differ
ences.
Difference in Geology
Oil is fund in rocks of many diff
ferent ages. In the old fields of Penn
sylvania and Ohio, as we'll as in the
Mid-Continent, the principal produc-
lion is obtained from the beds of Pal
eozoic age. In the Rocky Mountain
region, however, we find our princi-
pal production in the Mesozoic which
overlies the Paleozoic.
OF the Mesozoic rocks, our great
est production is derived from the
uppermost division, which we call
the C~retaceous 1t Is the Cretaceous
which, in the Rocky Mountain region
produces the high-grade green oils
with paraffin base. The Triassic and
Jurassic rocks, which constitute the
lower divisions of the Mesozoic, pro-
duce the lower grade black oils Of
asphalt base. The Cretaceous.
therefore, contains not only our larg-
est but our most valuable oil de-
posits.
OF the Cretaceous beds, there are
2 principal oil horizons-the Dakota
group at the base of the Cretaceous,
and the Frontier formation or Wall
Creek series somewhat below the
middle of the Cretaceous in the top
OF the Benton formation.
Dakota Same as WoOdbine
1t may be interesting to note that
these two beds, under the different
names, are productive OF oil in the
great fields Of the Shreveport area in
Louisiana-the Frontier of hat re-
gion being termed the Blossom sand,
while the Dakota is called the Wood
bine.
Having taken this brief view of
the age Of the oil bearing rocks in
the Rocky mountain region. let us
consider for a moment the localities
in which oil is likely to accumulate.
Production in the Rocky Mountain
region is obtained from minor folds
or anticlines which lie on the bor-
, 1924-08-07

Of the oil which is produced from 1t.
Influence OF Railroad Business
1t Is not customary to reduce this
to tons per acre, but 1t is perfectly
possible to do so. We know how
many wells are required to develop
properly a Acton acre tract. Given
the approximate depth of these wells
we know the weight OF the casing
required as well as the weight of
lumber for the derricks and the
weight Of the boilers, engines, tools
and other drilling equipment.
The variable factor is, of course,
the amount Of oil which will be pro-
duced per acre; but assuming q con-
sentative figure for this, the compu-
tation shows that the weight of the
material required to develop the
property, plus the weight of the oil
which may be produced from it,
equals about 500 tons per acre. In
many fields this weight would reach
1900 tons per acre, or even higher,
and all this takes no account of the
transportation Of men, building ma
terial, provisions and general sup
plies.
1t Is evident from the above that
the amount Of business brot to the
transportation lines of a country and
to the country itself by the develop.
ment of ever a comparatively small
oil field is very considerable. The
effect On prices Of commodities is
only too we'll known.
Wall Creek Absent in Colorado
But to return once more to the
comparison which we were making
between Wyoming and Colorado. The
production from Salt Creek Is OBJ
tanned from the Frontier or Wall
Creek series.
In Colorado, the Wall Creek is
] either practically absent as in the
Wellington area or is thin and ap-
parently OF minor Importance, in
parts of the Northwest. In the Moi
fat well it was found to be water
bearing and production was obtained
from the Dakota. as vas the gas
and oil which were struck in the
Wellington field.
The Dakota group is present over
most OF Wyoming, as 1t is In Colo
RADIO but because of the presence of
the Frontier in Wyoming, that state
has the advantage over Colorado in
the possibilities which 1t offers for
oil accumulation.
In brief, 1t has 2 highly produc-
tive SANDS In the CretaceOus, to Col
orado's one. and this fact alone 10
Of enormous importance in consider
ing the oil possibilities Of the two
states.
1t should be remembered also that
the black oil sands which in Wyom-
ing are known as the Embar and
Tensleep. are entirely absent over
parts OF Colorado.
No Black Oil I'm Colorado
In the vicinity of Denver and south
along the Front range the red beds
which overlie the Embar rest direct
ly upon the granite. indicating that
during Paleozoic time and during
part Of the Mesozoic. this area was
land, whereas the Wyoming area
was occupied by ocean In which the
older oil bearing rocks were being
deposited.

and several minor fields lie in the
Big Horn basin. Rock River and
Madeleine Bow lie in the basin of the
Laramie plains, and Lost Soldier in
a small basin ON the east Of the Red
Desert.
Location Of Colorado Basins
Turning now to the state of Colo
RADIO, we find that the mountain
n g instead Of being scattered in
many small groups, occupy one great
central band which we call the main
range of the Rockies and which ex-
tends from north to south across the
center Of the state.
East of this main range and adj
jacent to Denver is the great basin
which we call the Denver basin, and
in which there has already been dis
covered the Wellington gas and oil
field.
Included, so to speak, on the main
range are four comparatively small
Arrears Of sedimentary rocks which
we call North, Middle and South
parks, and San Louis park.
In northwestern Colorado, south
of the Uinta mountains and west of
the Rockies, lies ar area which may
be divided into several minor basins
and in which the Moffat pool, near
Craig, was opened last fall by the
Texas Producing Co.
That this area contains several
other folds has already been demon
strated by geologic study. OF these,
the lies structure, southwest of the
Moffat, which is to be drilled by the
Midwest Refining Co., and others,
and Beaver Creek, southeast of the
Moffat, which is in the hands of the
Texas, Transcontinental and Midwest
have attracted the most attention.
That other folds may be discover
ed this summer is possible, altho 1t
is my opinion that most of them
which offer any promise are already
known to the larger companies en-
ploying biologists.
Moffat Area Compared.
The area has long been under OBJ
s%ervation and the bringing in of the
Motfat well has concentrated atten-
ton or 1t until it has received very
intensive study.
The folds which 1 have named are
all of them comparatively small. The
Moffat pool shows every indication
that its yield per acre may be large;
but its area is comparatively small,
and 2 or 3 square miles may prob
ably include all the productive ter
ritory. This area in comparison to
a field like Salt Creek, which has an
area of rs square miles. is of minor
Importance, altho amply sufficient to
stimulate development greatly in
the country adjacent to 1t and to net
excellent profits to the company or
companies operating 1t.
The structure known as Beaver
Creek Is about the size OF the Moffat
and the structure of the lies Is
somewhat larger.
1t may be interesting, in consider
ing the effect Of the development Of
one OF these fields on the surround
ing country and on transportation, to
make a few approximate estimates
Of the weight Of material which is
necessary in the drilling and de-
velopment Of a field, and the weight

In summing up. therefore. the
comparative possibilities for oil in
Wyoming and Colorado, we should
face the fact that altho Colorado Of
fers good possibilities for the de-
velopment which will undoubtedly
have a great influence on the future
Of the state, 1t is not at all likely
hat it will ever equal in production

At one of the great meteorological
observatories there has been set up a
self-recording thermometer. Wind is
simply air In movement, and the pres
sure that this more or less rapidly
moving air exerts upon a certain area
can be measured. In the case Of the
windmill the wings Of the mill move
more swiftly in proportion to the pow
.er of the wind. This thermometer is
not unlike the windmill 1t consists
of horizontal, easily rotated crossbars,
on each of the four ends of which a
cup half spherical In shape is fastened.
The wind catches in these cups and so
turns the crossbar. From the cross
bar a rod goes into the instrument
room. The rotation of the cup works
q mechanism that moves strip of
paper upon which the velocity of the
wind Is plotted. The direction Of the
wind Is also marked by the apparatus,
as the vane Is connected with the reg
istering sheet. It is a simple matter
to read at any time the direction
and velocity of the wind.

Paper Mill Employees
i'm Germany Prosperous

While paper money In Germany Ii
spelling poverty for thousands, EN-.
ployees In the paper industry are
waxing happier and Weather every
day. According to Munich business
man, recently arrived In New York,
paper making is now the key industry
In the Fatherland and produces the
most required article at present 1t is
the only industry with no unemploy-
ment. On the contrary, paper fac
tories are run In double shifts.
Twenty large factories are entirely
occupied In supplying the Reichsbank,
according to the Munich citizen, and
72 In all are today working for It,,
converting tralnloads Of paper into
money. Owing to the rapid deyalua-
ton Of the mark, notes are very short
lived In a very short time most Of
them become superfuous, prices hav-
ing risen SO greatly that note OF a
hundred times higher denomination
must replace them. Although they
look brand new, notes issued but a
few weeks before cannot buy, any
longer, even the cheapest objects.
While their exchange value has
fallen, however, their worth as raw
material has grown meanwhile to ex-
coed many times their value as legal
tender. Notes up to 1000 marks are
worth more than forty times their
printed value to the ragman. Those
up to 100000 marks sell for four times
their nominal value as junk.
Faced by the tremendous demand
for new paper marks. the Reichsbank
has declared that 1t has only small
stock on hand and that despite the
overworked papermen, only a quarter
Of a trillion represents the daily out
put. With the demand SO high and the
supply so low the Reichsbank can
satisfy only In a small measure the
demands of its patrons. 1t considers
first the claims of the bureaus which
pay the stipends to the unemployed.
Second to be considered are the indus
tries which as far as possible are
given few truckloads Of paper to
pay the wage Garner. Trade, including
the banks, and the government author
tiles, receive little or nothing from the
Reichsbank.
In the latter instance advantage Is
taken Of the fact that the state en-
ployees are regarded as the most pa
tient, suffering without making dis
agreeable complaints. Consequently
thousands of state employees do not
receive their salaries until they are
many weeks overdue.

Prisoner Had NoUeI
Excuse for Leaving

The Dunsuns Of Borneo have never
grown up. At least to considerable
degree their minds are like those OF
children. They are. however, both In
genious and naive TO illustrate those
traits Mr.. l. Fl. N. Evans in his book,
Among Primitive Peoples In Borneo. .
tells this story:
The prisoners at Kotabelud used to
be taken down to the river on Sunday
to wash their clothes and to battle; a
policeman armed with a loaded car
bine would always be In charge of the
gang. One day when the guiird was
asleep prisoner dropped quietly off
the raft on which the others were
washing and let the current carry him
to small island. where he landed and
hid himself.
When the policeman had finished his
snooze he collected his prisoners and
marched them back without noticing
that he was a man short. When the
relief guard appeared, however, he
counted them, and, not finding the cor
rect number, asked for an explanation,
which of course the first policeman
was unable to give.
Meanwhile the missing man lay
safely concealed on the Island until
he saw the other prisoners return to
the Jail; then he slipped quietly into
the river again, swan to the opposite
bank and started across country.
When the matter was reported to
the European officer in charge of the
post he had the sleepy policeman pun
ished, and then started to find the
prisoner. He sent policemen to the
runaway's village to make inquiries,
as an escaped prisoner nearly always
travels straight for home. Sure
enough, the policemen found him
there.
On being charged with running away
he replied he had not tried to escape,
but that while bathing in the river he
had suddenly remembered that he had
not paid his poll tax to the govern
ment for that year; he had returned
to his village merely in order to get
the money Youths Companion.
