So it is with the oil fields. “There is enough oil in the West alone to last for 100 to 200 years, based on the present rate of consump- tion. In the Salt Creck fields of Wy- oming there are more than a dozen fields that have not yet been touched. The whole State of Wyoming is ap- parently one vast reservoir of oil, and the surface there has not been scratched. Kansas promises to be- come the leading oil State in another vear. Even in Eastern Colorado there are prospects with the oil fields. “The Pennsylvania fields alone will last 50 years more at the lowest esti- mate. In Oklahoma, which is the leading oil State, in the Cushing fields, which produced 300 barrels a day less than two years ago, there are still great numbers of undeveloped wells, and the Cushing field is not in it with the Augusta field of Kansas. Montana, California and Mexico are great oil districts. There are thousands of acres of oil lands in Cal- ifornia that have not heen surveyed. In Mexico are the richest oil fields in the world, with the possible excep- tion of the Baku in Russia. “Opinions like that expressed hy vour Government officials does no good.
