3I0F0LY OF COAL.
VALUE OF TEXAS OIL AS
COMPETING FUEL BE-
ING STUDIED BY A
GOVERNMENT
EXPERT.
Washington, Sept. 2 —Oil may
prove to be the means of break-
ing the coal monopoly in the an-
thracite regions. A paper is now
Oharles Willard Hayes of the geo-
logical survey showing the possi-
bility of oil from the Texas field
coming into competition with the
coal of Pennsylvania for all fuel
purposes. This paper is being
prepared for publication by Mr.
Hayes after a thorough study of
conditions as they exist in Texas.
It will give the relative full value
of the Texas oil and various kinds
of coal ^especially the hard coal
of Pennsylvania, the mining of
which has ceased on account of
the strike and the impossibility
up to the present time of secur-
ing any agreement between the
operators and the miners.
This will be the first authentic
publication of the Government
treating this subject at great
length. It is believed that it will
be instrumental in guiding con-
tn the course of preparation by' snmers of coal toward methods
of supplanting the use of that fnel
with oil/ especially during the
times when high prices are de-
manded for coal.
Gil being the only means for
breaking the coal monopoly that
ie now khown, investigators have
the question of the
possibility of monopolizing the
supply of oil in Texas in ordar to
keep its price up to a level very
near that of coal in fuel value. In
this connection they have pointed
out the difference in the produc-
tion of coal and oil, and facts
which have applied to the indus-
try in Pennsylvania. The coal de-
posits are regarded as known
quantities. There are compara-
tively few surprises in the coal
fields. The men who own the an-
thracite coal fields know what
they have. They know just
about where the coal is and how
much they can take from the
fields. They own it and they do
not fear rivalry because of any
discovery of other fields. It is
another story in relation to the
oiL The general oil regions that
have been discovered are' well
defined, but how the oil is depos-
ited iu those regions to a vary
large extent defies the powers of
the greatest of experts.
There have been numerous
cases in which a well has been
pumped for years and has pro-
duced but two or three barrels
of crude oil for many years. Its
owner, thinking to increase his
supply, has dug another well but
a yard distant from the old one
and has begun with a production
of several hundred barrels a day
which production will be gradu-
ally decreased, though it m'ght
continue extremely profitable for
years. No man has any absolute
knowledge as to the gusher. That
fact has been made a subject for
speculation, aud whenever the
price of oil in Pennsylvania has
gone up to a high figure tremen-
dous energy has been exerted by
producers in the boring of new
wells, which could be made prof-
itable even if they produced but
half a barrel or less daily. That
rush toward new production and
consequently increased supply
has resulted in bringing down the
price of crude oil. The questio n
is whether the same principles
will not operate in Texas. The
energy of the Texas operators
has been very good, with the fuel
oil worth but 25j or 30c a barrel.
At that price only wells that flow
freely are profita ble, but should
the price increass for any reason,
wells that would not otherwise
be worth pumping would be op
erated. The possibility of a mo-
nopoly of the production of Texas
is viewed from the standpoint of
experience in Pennsylvania. For
many years the Standard Oil Com-
pany has refined 80 or 90 per cert
of the oil of that region, the smd -

the Pure Oil Company.
The business of refiuiDg, trans-
porting and eelliog the oil has re-
quired capital figured in millions
in order to conduct it economic-
ally and successfully, and the re-
sult is that big companies have
done the business. But iu the
case of production of the crude,
the experience will be very dif-
ferent. Thousands of men oper-
ate independently iu Pennsylvania
today in producing oil. The bus-
iness is rendered especially at-
tractive to the man of a Bpecula-
make a fortune, though the pro-
duction as a whole would glv®
only a good interest on the capi-
tal invested. Tire possibility of
striking tbe unusual well has been
a strong incentive to activity at
all times, and any increase iu the
price of the crade has mule tbe
smallest wells profitable. The
question is whether these co
tioos will not in tbe future be
peated in the Texas fields that are
actually operating today.
It is quite likely that during the
next few months the coal barons
of Pennsylvania will discover iiet
