FUNG GIL FIELDS
GUN BE REVIVED, W5TER
The fact that oil and water do
not readily mix has been turned
to good purpose in some of the
failing fields in New York and
Pennsylvania, where old wells
have been made to flow again
by flooding with water. The pro
! cess is simple. Water is pumped
| into wells under pressure with
the result that oil is forced thru
the sands into other wells that
have been abandoned but have
not been flooded.
j Oil so recovered is said to be
of superior quality, and experts
| estimate that some of the wells
thus treated will have a com
mercial life of 30 to 50 years in
the future.
The largest blue fox farm in
the world is said to be on the
Aleutian islands. It has more
than 6,000 foxes.
