Show West of the Range I propose In this article to give a I brief statement regarding the hydrocarbons hydro-carbons as met with In the western j i flank of the Wosatch range In an east I crly direction from the town of Juab i and especially of the shales that are I I not only rich In oils but In the Ingredients In-gredients contained therein I Regarding their origin prior to the carboniferous or Silurian periods we i have but lUll to say owing to the I I many theories advanced by scientists i who have given much time In the oluol I j I datlon of their and datoJ origin fornmllon from time unknown erawo see In iheio shales theIr biography portrayed as I also In the rocks of u past that tlu gonolds fish mollusca and fucokK nil I In a fossilized Htatc are the evidences of a recondite past I The enormous beds of these shales are the ones to which our attention Is ulcnlon I given Inasmuch as the developments thus fyr made to 1 depth of 170 foot go to show Owl cimtlnully Indenhiioly downward while superficially they cx lerid in and on the I summits of the mountains being plainly I visible 1 owing to denudation not only been These oil shales have r tested practically on l limited scale In this country but also In Scotland where thorough tests were made and which demonstrated the fact that th shales of the Wasatch range ranked higher not only In regard to the higher f percentage of crude oil obtained but also In the excess of their Ingredients w match paraflinc wax ammonia Iti bfloatlng oil and naphtha thus exceeding exceed-ing tho oil shales of the Broxburn beds Scotland which hay been extensively extensive-ly J worked for nearly forty yours md 4 for the erection of suitable works at a J cost o over 10000000 The average of these Roxburn shales

prevailing scarcity of paramno wax MeeniB likely to become a matter cr some seriousness to the makers cC electrical conductors In this country Great Britain The importance is all the greater In view o the rapidly increasing in-creasing demand for this product tho requirements now amounting to double the available supply About onehalf of the supply of oil coming to this country coun-try Is I Russian and tho other half American and Rangoon but a paraf line wax cannot be obtained from Russian Rus-sian oil one has to look for a remedy for the present situation by endeavoring endeavor-ing to cultivate the Importation of American wax to this country We are not aware what may be the difficulties if any standing In the way of such development de-velopment but we should think It would he worth the while of American traders to give the matter attention 1 lion append portion of a report made by the late Prof Joshua E Clay ton some ftoon years ago and published pub-lished In the Engineering and Mining Journal regarding the economic values of the Utah and other shales uNo deposits of mineral wax have been found In this old Tertiary basin that equal In richness or url tho ozokerite deposits of Galllcia In Austria Aus-tria Such deposits may exist somewhere some-where in this large stretch of the Tertiary Ter-tiary beds of the Rocky mountains but they have not yet been discovered In the light of our present knowledge I am Inclined tC believe that the only way to get the parafflne In large quan titles Is to distil the shales on a largo scale by I similar process to that which is usckl In Scotland The deposits of wax are small and scattered over largo areas of country hence the alea IWf1e collection of the Impure varieties of ozokerltu found InUtah could not be relied upon lo supply any considerable demand 4 Systematic explorations by boring and otherwise may reveal rich deposits of the minerals but this requires tho employment of special skill and the expenditure ex-penditure of considerable sums of money All I can say about It now may bo hummed UD In this That It Is I a promising field for such explorations but in my opinion the distillation of the shales must be llnally relied upon for the production of producton any large supply of par ne Subsequently to the above a company operating east of Juab has in boring bllnb G70 feet passed through
