Issued as a special supplement to the Bureaus Mineral was prepared by John D. Bar-di- ll, a Bureau metallurgist, while serving as scientific consultant in the Natural Resources Section, GHQ, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, in Tokyo. His assignment was . aranged by the Military Geology Unit of the U. S. Geological Survey, and the report is s Director. As late as 1934, the publication points out, Japanese refineries were producing only 7.6 tons of tungsten and 4.9 tons of molybdenum annually. In 1944, however; after a decade of war and conquest, production foreign reached a peak of 113 tons of tungsten and 38 tons of molb-denu- m powders. Although a maoutput was jor portion of this inabsorbed by the ferro-allo- y dustry, small quantities of powdered metal were used in the production of radio tubes, incandescent lamps, and tungsten carbide tools. At the present time, tungsten and molybdenum refineries are operating on a reduced scale, manufacturing powder for electric lamps, cutting tools and other peacetime products. Because native Japanese resources of tungsten and molybdenum are small, Japan has pub-Surv- ey depended primarily on foreign imports of these minerals, the publication reveals. Principal foreign source of tungsten was Korea, which supplied approximately 60 percent of Japans requirements. Other suppliers included Great Britain, China, Siam, Burma, and Latin America. Molybdenum was imported from Korea, Manchuria, the United States. Peru, and Chile. To help meet the growing requirements of its war machine during the 1933-3- 4 period, Japan was compelled to subsidize native mines producing relaores. Since tively low-grathese operations were economically impractical, they could not be continued in a normal peacetime economy. In describing Japanese metallurgical processes for refining tungsten and molybdenum concentrates, the publication also presents tables showing the production and sheets of leading Japanese refineries. A free copy of the publication Tungsten and Molybdenum Metallurgy of Japan may be obtained from the Bureau of Mines, 4800 Forbes St., Pittsburgh 13, Pa., by requesting the supplement to the Mineral Trade Notes for June, 1947. - de P.N. 27540. CRESCENT JUNCTION The Grand County Oil Company, which recently moved modern rotary equipment to a location about one mile southwest of Crescent Junction, Utah, spudded in Monday, according to reports from the field yesterday. The company hopes to complete this oil test to a depth of 3000 feet within two months. YflDMY MggmtiE The Western Mineral Survey for authentic reports on Mining and Oil developments in the West.

ONE YEAR $2.50 TWO YEARS $4 Name Street City boom, says The Lamp, and 20 or more oil companies, Including 10 of the majors, are participating in the greatest search for oil that Canada has ever seen, for the Dominion urgently needs more production of her own. With a per capita consumption of oil products second only to .that of the U. S., Canada last year imof the 71 million barrels of crude ported 63 million, or which her refineries processed. Just now, drilling throughout so-call- ed 89, the Edmonton area and applications for holdings at the land office hi Edmonton have gained a powerful new . impetus, for Imperial Oil Ltd., the Canadian affiliate of Standard Oil of New Jersey, has brought in a test well in new territory near the prairie town of Leduc, 16 miles south of Edmonton. While 500- sightseers, chilled through with the cold, stood watching in the snow last February, the well came in with a roaring spray of drilling mud, oil and gas across' the mud pit at the foot of the derrick. When the heaviest .mud 'had been blown out, the oil was still too dirty to go into a tank. Accordingly it was valved into a flow pipe and flared some 250 yards from the derrick, sending clouds of heavy black smoke billowing into the winter sky. As soon as the mud, water and drilling chemicals were out, the Hon. N. E. Tanner, Albertas minister of lands and mines, turned the valve on the well head which sent the oil into the storage tanks, and the new well, settling down to a steady flow, began actual production. It was the most encouraging initial flow since the discovery of Turner Valley. The new well would, of course, have to prove itself and only months and perhaps years of further drilling can determine whether, the field is a small or a large one. Imperial Oil ltd. has lost no time in spudding in four more test wells. Meanwhile, Leduc No. 1 Is producing a good 39 degree gravity crude which the refiners like because it yields at maximum of the gasoline and other light products needed by the forming population of the prairies. In this respect it is a welcome contrast to the heavier crudes which the plains have produced heretofore. usually These are useful mainly as railroad or industrial fuel oils, which are in limited demand on the prairies. Oil in the plains and the foothills comes from an ancient sea basin or a series of interrelated, basins which extend from the Gulf of Mexico across the 'United States and Canada to the treeless wastes of the Arctic. At the southern end .of this basin The Texas Co. draws much of its oil and gas from sedimentary rocks which are relatively young, having been deposited some 75 million years ago. Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Montana and the whole of the Canadian basin are underlain by older sediments and about same enormous extent of them as all the seven states south of the international boundary. But in these seven states 15,-6test wells have established lw billion barrels of proved reserves, mainly in Montana and Wyoming, with some in Colorado and Nebraska; while in the basin north of the boundary 1600 test wells have led to production and 'reserves which together come to only 154 million barrels. And yet there is no reason in geology why 15,000 test wells in the Canadian west should not duplicate the 1 billion barrels of reserves that have been established south of the line. - . State .
