fundamental facta connected with
tho discovery of oil, Its production
In commercial quantities ,tbe drill
log of test wells and tbo appUeatlsn
of the proven principles of fMr1

of tho Klamath Dasln. '?"
Omission will be made at ail

nocessary to convey the meaning In
tended. Those articles will be but
Informal talks on theso subject,
with no attemnt mad to da more
than offer a somewhat dlconneetafMeUmornm. geologically speak
commontatlon on them.
In attempting any discussion of
oil, as found undor natural condi
tions In tho earth, It would seem
proper to devoto some attention,
first of all, to Its origin.
Tho ultlmato sourco of many of
tho forces of Nature as yet defy
concreto statement by the scientist.
Bo also do somo of the products of
Nature. We may not, as yet, at
least, state positively fronv Whence
oil comes.
In 18G9 the first producing oil
well was drilled on Oil creek la
Pennsylvania. The product waa
called ,at first, coal oil. It waa
thought to bo one of. the by-products
of coal. The first oil fields
In Pennsylvania were developed be
low coal-bearing strata. As. how
ever, new oil fields were found with
no coal fields In their neighborhood
tho Idea of a connection between
coal and oil seems to have died
simply for lack of facts to sus
tain It.
About tbo middle eighties a
small, but brilliant, group of geol
ogists, among whom might be men
ttoncd Orton, I. C. Whlto and Ash-
burner, bogan, Independent of each
other, Investigations that later
Proved of great scrvlco to tho now
Industry. Several of tho dlseov
"'c made by them wero of preat
Importance, und will be commented
upon later,
The experiments of these men be-
tcum. The first theory advanced
as to Its origin .that carried with
It nny scientific authority, may bb
called tho Animal Organic Theory.
This was that oil resulted from tho
decomposition of tho bodies of im
menso masses of marlno animals
Bitch as fish, oystors and many vari
eties of marlno animal organisms
that flourished in prehistoric oras
particularly suited to profuso ma
rlno animal life. Eyon yet a fow
authorities maintain tho soundness
of its conclusions, i
Considering this theory for a mo
ment .tho objoctlon may bo mado
that tho yoarly production of petro
leum Is so vast as to mako such
an explanation somewhat prepos
terous. Still It has boon demon
strated that tho yearly fisheries
catch of tho North Sea, It rendorod
for oil alone, would furnish an
amount as great as tho yearly pro
duction of tho Baku fields of Rus
sia, tho largest in Europe Thoro
aro, howovor, other objections less
oaslly onswored. For oxamplo, wero
this the true origin, what haB bo
como of tho percentage of nitrogen
to bo oxpectod, from such a decom
position ct animal remains? It is
not in petroloum.
During tho post twenty years sci
entific investigation of the natural
phenomena of oil problems has gono
forward with giant strides. A doz
en great universities havo estab
lished departments of Petroloum
Qeology. The United States Geolog
ical .Survey and Bureau of Mines
are continually carrying on exten
sive experiments. Private research
work by individual geologists each
year establishes many new facts re
lating to petroleum. A proportion
of 'this work has been 'to demon
strate the origin, of oil.
' Its net result has been the formu
lation of what may be called' the j
T
Vegetable Organic Theory, which
has the support of a majority of
petroleum authorities throughout
the world.
iThls theory, briefly stated. Is that
oil has been formed from the de
composition of masse of vegetation,
mostly marine, bnt partly of land
origin. That these masses were de
posited In the mud of ancient
oceans, lakes and bays. As a re
sult 'of floods, earth movement and
deposition of sediment from the
proslon of nearby mountains, an
trerborden was formed, The weight
p the overburden changed the com
position of the vegetable mass to a
form from which oil became dis
tilled by the beat of metamorphttm.
kg, Is tho change occasioned In
any terrestial substance by the heat
at earth movement.
) In California, and the Pacific
Siast generally, acceptance of this
eory by oil men and petroleum
geologists is practically, universal
Oil on the Pacific "Coast Is lntl-
matoly associated with what Is
called dlatomaceous shalo. Diatoms,
which form dlatomaceous shale, are
minute vegetable organisms which
formed a species of kelp or aea
weed. This kelp grew In profusion
In both fresh and salt water in cer
tain areas of the Pacific coast
Without exception. In California, oil
has never been found when dlato
maceous shale was absent from the
immediate neighborhood. In a
:ter article there will be described
the movement, of qll from Its point
of origin and Its migration to the
nearest' pofas sandstone. It may be
mentioned! In this connection, that
ono of the largest. If not the larg
est, deposit of dlatomaceous shale
in the United States is located In
tho Klamath Dasln. This will be
touched upon later.
Even though the Vegetablo Or
ganic Theory finds general accep
tance there arc still some that doubt
its validity. There Is seldom a meet
ing of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers but what, in the
Petroleum Division, the old contro
versy arises In some form or other.
The writer once listened for two
hours to a most able presentation
of what Is known as the Solfaric
Theory by the eminent Canadian
onglneer, Eugent Coste. This theo
ry is that oil was formed by vol
canic action, and comes from un
known depths. Included in the evi
dence produced to sustain his con
tention mob tho record of tho Tarn
Pico, whero it Is well known that
oil Is only found alongside volcanic
dykes. In concluding he seemed to
utterly demolish tho accepted Veg
etablo Organic theory by claiming
to have discovered traces of oil in
tho Laurcntian rocks of Archeozoic
ago. Tbo weak point of this argu
ment was that ho could not prove
tho oil traces ho had found to be
native to their place of discovery,
Many chemists hold tho theory
that petroleum Is of Inorganic or
igin, and arises from the action of
hot water on sail and gypsum
plus great pressure aua an lntenso
degreo of heat. It has been possible
to manufacture what resembles
crudo-oll In chemical laboratories by
artificial means, but It would seom
that Naturo has scarcely at her com
mand tho facilities that the chemist
finds necessary 19 reproduce the
crudo oil of tho laboratory. -Reviewing
the whole matter It
would seem to bo safe to tentatively
grant tbo truth of the Vegetable
Organic Theory. All the tendency
of late experiments has seemed to
endorse Its correctness rather than
disprove it.
In all the controversy as to the
source of oil the writer has noted
one peculiarity. The discussion on
