IS EXPLAINED

and in fact some of these processes
are already in use."
Another prominent oil man g'ves it
as his opinion that the nrodurtinn nt
oil will be Increased to such an ex
tent that the price will be forced
down. He predicts that gasoline will
cost less in 1921 thnn this year.
Much Waste at Present. 1
There also seem to be possibilities
of reducing the waste that prevails
in me oil rielils. The fuel adminis
tration. In a iicent re-ort, declaivl
that the "to'al waste iii the oil and
gas fields of the nation amounted to
$2,000,000,000 In 1017."
Oil men admit a mammoth wste
of these national resources. With
customary American energy and
brains it seems entirely logical to
presume that fuel worth so mucn will
be conserved and utilized.
A review of the situation seetin t-
remove all occasion for alarm. It
seems to be the consensus of opi tin
that publfc-sr irited conservation .n .
a small scale is necessary for u f. w !
weeks in the northwest. After that:
there Is every icason to believe motor i

pinched. j
New Supply Found. j
Having disposed of tlie slltmilo.i at
Hie present and found that there will
be gasoline enough to meet Mil iiecl
for several years to come, If inuv be
of Interest to consider how long the
people can exnect to have ull the
(..asoline they desire to use. I
The total crude oil production l
oate In Hie entire world standi at
about 7.000,000,000 barrels. ' j
Geologists estimate that mother
7.000.000.000 barrels exist In various
places tinder the surface of the earth.
Other fields may be found to raise
this total to a considerable extent, of
course.
However much oil there may be
found, the time must come, of course
when liatnre's vast reservoirs will be
drained dry. That may be 25 or 50
years from now. And, of course, the
ingenuity of man wil surmount such
a trifling difficulty asfhis, .
' While the future oil supply Is rstl
, mated at 7.000.000.000 barrels, already
: there Is much talk of extracting oil
I from shale. If this proves successful
! there will be enough gasoline for ceu
; turies at the present rote of consump
, tlon.
i Victor C. Aldervon. president of the
Colorado School of Mines and a scien
tist of high standing'. In the iiuarterly
publication of the school that he
heads writes:
"Recent years have been fille, with
stirring and far-reaching events, not
the least of which has been the birth
of a new Industry, with a potential
supply of raw materlul that almost
defies mathematical computation and
staggers the Imagination. Can pres
ent oil fields produce enough petro
leum to meet the enormous demand
now existing for oil and Its products?,
The nnswer Is doubtful. Will new oil
fields be discovered to meet the In
creased demand of The future? The
answer is extremely doubtful Yet
oil we must hove.

' great deposits of oil shale. If oil la

found In unusually large and rich de

Iitih been known for insuv years. It Is
estimated that ltt Colorado alone
there are 2500 siiiaie m'lcs of this
shah, or a total of . I Ifi.ONO.OOO.noo

"One ton of shale should pr-nluo at
