IS TIE OIL IKS
- ;
Is the Time at Hand When the Torsoin Balance and Seis
mograph Principles Will Make Location of Oil an Ex
act Science?
A couple of men whose names
and addresses are confidential for
the present have been making ex
aminations in the vicinity of Sa
lem, seeking for indications of oil
in paying quantities here, who
say they have found such indica
tions; located the lands to a cer
tainty. They have done this with
the use of an instrument the op
erations of which are their own
secret
That there is a probability that
they have. such an instrument is
borne out by recent discoveries.
One of these discoveries (or rather
two of them ) are now being used
by twelve crews operating in
Louisiana. And there is another
Instrument which is . being used
for the location of paying oil dis
tricts and wells in California
wth success. So it is entirely
passible that these men operating
in the vicinity of Salem have some
tiling more than the "doodle bug"
ot . water witch devices, which
have long been the sport of oil
people.
Perhaps there are some readers
ot'-The Statesmant and likely
there are many of them, who will
be interested " in the following
rfVoni 'the July number of the
World's Work magazine, one of
the most reliable in the country,
an recenoil news and "discover-
tf Since ltooseveJ turned" the at
tention oi this country to conser
vation of its natural resources
there have been periodic scares
concerning the exhaustion of tim
ber, coal, oil, and the like. These
scares have helped inspire the
evolution 'toward better methods,
which have resulted in protecting
the ranges so that grazing may be
apermaiient business, and also in
handling the cutting of timber so
that) umbering may be perpetual.
And plow cornea a report of the
American' Petroleum , Institute
which sets at rest the fear of the
exbausffon of American oil sup
plies, and this in spite of the fact
that each decade since 1859 has
seen an oil production greater
than ali production proceeding it.
It is double or iuits without the
iuits. The conclusions of the
Boksd were set before the Federal
Oil Conservation Board by Chas.
Evans., Htighcs. In brief, they

&gegn(l, ft is reasonable to as
sume tha a sufficient supply of
Oil; 'ftHr'be available for national
defense,, and for essential uses in
thenJted States, beyond the
time'when science will limit the
demand by developing more ef
ficient use of, or substitutes for,
oil, or will., displace its use as a
source power by harnessing a
natural energy
Third, current supply and de
mand cannot stay in balance,
since the amount of both supply
and demand are constantly chang
Jng.'Generally; 'current supply
will exceed; or be less than cur
rent demand, Jreating surplus or'
shortage;- either condition will be
reflected inprfce.'but price will
in time correct,, either condition.
Fourth," petroleum, recoverable

Fifth, it is estimated that after

OUHJTITIES NEAR SEEM?
acres! of lands underlain by sedi
mentary rock not fully explored,
?n which geology indicates oil is
possible. With extended search
new supplies will be found there
in. Eighth, tne nation Das an addi
tional reserve in the vast deposits
of oil shale, coal, and lignites,
from which liquid fuel and lubri
cants may be extracted if and
when the cost of recovery is jus
tified by the price of these pro
ducts. These deposits are so huge
that they promise, under conserr
vatfve estimates, an almost unlim
ited supply.
Nintfi, while this report is con
fined to the petroleum supply and
demand within continental United
States, the importance of imports
cannot be ignored. C-o u n
tries to the south are known to
have large petroleum resources,
for the output of which the Unit
ed States is a natural market and
the supply therefrom must inevit
ably have its influence on the con
sumption of American reserves.
Tenth, the availability of fu
ture petroleum supplies from the
vast area of land mentioned above
depends upon adequate incentjves
to exploration. Suc'explor'alicQ'
has in the past given the nation. ,
sufficient supply of, pe.troieu'ui.'in'
peace and in war, from the, incep
tion of the oil industryjJn.jl'&SO.J
To continue there; mast be;, (a)
Security fix ownership of oil lands,
and in. the right to lease; (b) con
ditions of exploration and develop
ment of owners or lessees permit
ting exercise of initiative, liberty
of action, the play of competition,
and free operation of the law of
supply and demand; and (c) pric
es that will provide a return to
producers, refiners, and distrib
uters commensurate with the risks
involved and the capital invested.
Eleventh, the supply of petro
leum will be made to go ' much
farther through more efficient
utilization. Automotive experts
state that the mileage of the mo
tor car per gallon of gasoline may
be doubled through structural me
chanical changes, when the price
justifies such changes. Improved
mechanics will also result in
smaller consumption of lubricants.
Twelfth, through Improved
methods, principally the process
known as "cracking," the refining
branch, of the industry has al
ready increased the yields of gas
oline now the major product of
petroleum. Through further Im
provements and extensions the
supply of gasoline will be aug
mented still further by the "crack
ing" of fuel oil. In consequence,
the supply of fuel oil will be cor
respondingly diminished, thus
eventually removing fuel oil from
competition with coal.
Thirteenth, waste in the pro
duction, transportation, refining
and distribution of petroleum and
its products is negligible.
This report was made by 11
men, most of them presidents,
vhje presidents, or directors of
important oil companies. It is a
plea to leave the oil business as it
Is, subject to the general law and
A certain man had two
