The possibility OF digging or Dor

the need to know more about what
is inside, how to get to 1t. how the

Pretty nearly all the earth's sur

belt much Of it in a pretty cursory
fashion. but the possibility Of ex-
ploration underneath is still almost
untouched.
In the quest OF gold coal and
oil men have penetrated as far as
a mile and a half into the earth,

reached by oil drillers. Lately some
detailed studies have been made
of the results Of these borings and
