ShoIe Oil at Petroleum Cost
Achieved by Bureau of Mines

years ago the limit was said to
be six tons.
For a century the one big thing
that made shale oil too expensive
was the cost of getting out the
rock.
This demonstration mine, and
extraction and oil refining plants
down the mountain side at 5000
feet, are on a four-week run to
show that shale oil is ready to
supplement petroleum. Next week
more than 200 industrial keymen
will come here for two-day dem
onstration.
They will be shown how indus
trial shale oil will have its rock
crushing and extraction plants
right up at the cliff faces to save
money by using gravity in han
ding the rock. After the oil is
extracted it will travel in pipelines
to refineries, either lower down
or at distances, just as petroleum
is handled.
They will see the sketches of
145 miles of similar. pure shale
cliffs. which form the rims of the
l 00-square-mile plateau where
this first mine sets. This plateau
alone contains seven times more
shale oil than all the petroleum
the United States ever has pro-
duced.

RIFLE, Colo, Sept. 15.-Cliff
dwellers have returned to the
Rocky Mountains in the form of
Bureau of Mines men who have
discovered how to get oil cheaply
out of shale.
The bureau has found how to
assure the United States of enough
gasoline for centuries by making
shale oil at a cost no more than
petroleum.
The main secret is new mining
methods developed in the cliffs.
Instead of using ladders, these
modern cliff men go up in bull
dozers, 30-ton trucks, electric
shovels. compressors that have IL
wheels side by side and tower
trucks resembling fire apparatus.
These huge machines climb a
I512-mile hairpin turn road up
the side of mountain to sheer
cliffs of colored marblestone shale
at 5000 feet altitude. There they
drill a corridor big as a church
straight into the solid rock, and
spend their careers quarrying vast
rooms deep back in the rock.
Many new mining techniques
have been developed. Now one
man produces more than 100 tons
of broken rock day, where q few
