PORTLAND. Mnrch 21. (SiHWial).
Three carlondu of imiclilnory nro leav
ing tho yards of tho Clylo I;ulim!nt
company at tho foot or Sixtoonth
street tn'lny connlirned to the Unit
man Syndicate of the Pacific Coast ai
Ashland, Oregon, tho Installation of
which, in the mountains of southern
Oregon, glvoa promise of marking an
epoch in tho industrial development
of that section of the stato, as well aa
in nil probability creatlm? a new era
In the oil lndimtry In the world, as the
machinery consists of tho equipment
for the extraction of oil from shale on
a commercial basis, which has nevor
before been successfully accomplish
ed. It has long been concedod ,by the
government bureau of mines and all
oil exports, that tho oil of tho future
had to como from shale and a numbor
of experiments have been made to
extract tho precious fluid from the
rock, but without success. All
processes that have been invented and
tried out and there have beon many
have proved failures from a com
mercial standpoint, because of the
cost of extraction, the cost in pretty
nearly every Instance, precluding the
possibility of producing tho oil ut a
profit. It Is claimed for the Hartman
Process, tho Installation of which will
begin immediately upon tho arrival of
tho machinery in Ashland, that tho oil
can be extracted from tho shale at a
maximum cost of forty cents a barrel.
The product is a parrafine base oil,
and it is claimed for it that it is of a
superior grade to the eastorn oil tho
only other parral'ino base oil known
today, the total output of which la less
than two per cent of all tho oil pro
duced in this country.
It Is a somewhat singular fact that
in all tho reports Issued by tho fcdoral
bureau of mineB and the state bureau
of mines, no mention has ever been
made of the fact that there nro vast
quantities of oll-bearlng shale in the
state of Oregon, or that tho holdings
of the Hartman Syndicate In the Dead
Indian country in Jackson county,
only six miles on an air line from
Ashland, covering nearly flvo thou
sand acres, was, in all probability, oni
6f the largest and richest holy of oil
bearing sha'o in tho world.
The company, which Is hearted by
H W. Ifartniau. of Ashland, fnrmorly

I chief of construction und maintenance
of nay at tho great nitrate plnnt ut
'MiiHclo Shouls, Ala., begun the work
of development at the head of Ante
lope vulley, between tho old DcaU In
dlnn trail and Grizzly peak, along in
tho early part of lost April. Mr. Hart
man, who Is a brother of the Inventor
I of the process, claims he discovered
this veritable mountain of shale and
; ho Immediately set engineers and
; minors to work, to test out tho moun
I win In various place. It was thought
I that perhaps tho oil-bearing . shale,
plainly dlsi.enlblu on tho surface,
might bo nioroly a crust or layer cov
ering tho mountain. Shafts wnro sunk
and tunnels driven In fifty-three dif
ferent locations, with tho result that
ovory tost made gave evidence that
the further the mountain was pene
trated, and tho deeper tho shafts wore
sunk, tho richer the shale became In
oil content. In the vicinity of the
surface, tho shalo when run through
tho retort averaged, it is claimed,
eighty-four gallons, or two barrels to
the ton. Tho richest shale heretofore
dlHCovored, that In Utah, showed sixty
eight gallons to the ton, tho genorul
average in other territories where
Hhalo has beon uncovered, Colorado,
California, Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho, being around forty gallons to
tho ton. As has been mentioned, the
avorage of tho Jackson county slinlo,
tnken from close to tho surface, was
84 gallons to the ton, but the shalo
shot out from tho tunnels and from
most of tho open cuts, tested out as
high as ICO gallons to tho ton, so the
promoters stato.
Operation by June 1
Tho retort proper, which is manu
factured In Buffalo, New York, is ex
pected to bo on tho ground within
thirty days and to be In actual opera
tion producing oil and gas by June
1st. Tho machinery being shipped
from Portland today, and which coat
cIoho to $50,000, consists of a steam
Bhovel, rock crushers, tractors, en
glnos, trucks nnd other camp para
phernalia, which it will bo necessary
to Install, before tho ground is made
ready for the first rotort It is the
purpoBo of tho company to install
twenty retorts, with a capacity of 600
barrels oach, nnd to have the ontlro
battery In operation within 18 months.
This would moan a production of 10,
000 barrels a day of oil and 25 million
cubic feet of gas evory 24 hours.
In tlio matter of industrial develop
ment, tho manufacture of this gas,
perhaps. Is of more vital importance
to tho Btato genorally, than is the i
oil production, In view of tho fact that
the company claims that It can furnish ;
tho burning capacity of a ton of coal
for one dollar. If this claim can be
made co'id. It would moan the opening i
up of tho mining Industry of southern !
Oregon, whore It Is claimed there is I
more gold, assaying from fifteen to '
twenty dollars a ton. than over was
taken out of California. Tho grade Is ;
low f r pr f.mb'o shipment to a'
smelter, hut with fuel at a dollar a
ton, It would menu the Installation of
a Eineltrr. Several millions of dollars
worth of high grado ore has been
taken out of mines In tho vicinity of
Jaekaonvlllo nnd elsewhere In south-
orn Oregon, but those have beon long ,
abandonod owing to tho impossibility
of shipping low grade ore to a smelter,
niado posslblo by low-priced f iel,
would Inaugurate, a bnom In mining
such us tho greatest viBlonary has
never droamod of for this state. There
aro a scoro of othor rosourees through
out tho Btato which by means of this
chean fuel would bo brought Into quick
development.

Clean the crank case
after every 1,000 miles
and when changing from
one brand of motor oil to
another.
Flush crank case with
. fresh motor oil never
with kerosene or so
called "flushing" oils.
Lubricate with this ca
rect grade of Cycol motor
oil as shown on the new '
Cycol Recommendation
Chart to the right
Follow these important rules use Cycol Motor Oil for
better engine performance and lowered maintenance costs.
Cycol is the motor oil from which destructive "sulpho" com
pounds have been removed. The new Hexeon Process, used only
by us, does it. Thus, Cycol does not break down nor thin out
rapidly under engine heat Cycol maintains an unbroken lubri
cating film Cycol prevents many motor troubles.
Follow the Cycol Recommendation Chart
revised to include late models
Different brands of motor oils have different "bodies." The
safest, surest way to get the best performance from your motor
is to use Cycol according to the Cycol Recommendation Chart,
which is scientifically accurate. Cycol withstands engine heat
and retains its "body." An oil that thins out rapidly may change
from a "heavy" oil to a "light" oil after an hour's service this
means faulty lubrication for your motor.
Look on the Cycol Recommendation Chart for the correct
grade of oil for your particular engine if not listed here, ask
your dealer for the complete chart, or write us.
