GeOlOgist Refutes Story
Of Oil In Wisconsin

The stampede for oil in northern
trail Wisconsin, particularly in Rusk
county, will probably mean a loss to
investors to the full amount of money
they sink into such enterprises, if
the testimony of expert biologists
can be relied on. The oil excitement
came from the finding of films of oil
floating on swamp water in Rusk, Ke-
Waunee, Waukesha and other counties
Claims Oil Is There
A number of farms have been lead
ed in Rusk county with oil drilling
prospects. The ventures are based
mainly on the assertions of Co. Noble
of st. Louis who claims that oil can
be found at depth of 1000 to 1,400
feet.
81 know nothing as to the honesty
and dishonesty of the people who
have been getting these options" w
o. Hotchkiss, state geologist, declared
concerning the new Wisconsin oil
ventures. cit is entirely possible that
they were honestly misled because in
all the marshy areas of Wisconsin the
decay of vegetable matter in the
marshes results in many places lit
tie oil films on the surface Of the wa
ter. Such oil films in Oklahoma and
Kansas would be OF great significance
but in a Wisconsin marsh they simply
mean that the vegetable matter is de-
caying below and giving off this tiny
bit of oily matter. Indications are that
at least one experimental well will be
drilled and if SO the matter may to
that extent be removed from the realm
of opinion to that of established fact.
Mr.. Hotchkiss tells of conditions in
Rusk county He declared that from a
few feet to $50 feet depth will be found
glacial drift sand, gravel, powders
and clay. Then the drill would find
sandstone of Cambrian age which
would continue for 800 to 1000 feet.
Below that would come hard cystal-
line rocks.
"N0 OIL" HOtchkiss Says
$50 if you were to drill to a depth
of 1900 or 1,4OO feet as Mr.. Noble
suggests, you would be in rocks which
have no pore space or opening to
contain oil and it would be absolute
ly impossible for oil to be there be-
cause it could not get into the rocks, "
Mr.. Hotchkiss advises.
"In the Cambrian sandstone you
would find soft, porous sandstone Tor
nations all the way, but of an age
geologically much older than any
rocks in which oil has been found to
occur in commercial quantities any
where in the world. Furthermore, if
oil had ever been present in the pore
spaces of this sandstone formation it
would long ago have foated to the
surface and gone off into streams,
and there is no bed of rock in this
sandstone which would be sufficiently
impervious to prevent the oil from
doing this. Such an impervious bed of
rocks everything porous rock is alb
solutely necessary to hold the oil in
place, so if oil ever settled in the geo.
logical ages past in the Cambrian
sandstones which underlie the region,
it would have escaped into the sur
face drainage many millions of years
ago and no trace would be left"
