CRRETEITTLOIVIETIE Y R 2 MAY BE THE RICHEST TURKSSH OIL FIELDS | (Continued from page 1) other il wells are situated in the southeastern part of Kurdistan, at Kifri, Thuz-Khurmati, Kend-i-Shirin, | Kerkuk and Suleimenich. The oil re- gion ‘extends. far into Persia. A very ricT oil ficld is also at Zak=! ho," about a day’s ride to the aorth of Mosul, while the neighberhood -of Exzerum =nd Van, in nur:lwastcm] and eastern Asia Minor, and ‘even | now under the occupation of the Turkish naticnalist army, is another territory particularly rich in oil. 1t would be a great crror however, to oelieve that the present condition of these fields is anywhere near sys- tematic exploitation. On the ‘con- trary, they are all in a primitive con- dition and have up to now served merely to meet the personal needs of the, population of the neighboring villages. . Practically all the wells are just simple pits, the oil forming little pools in them. The natives dip buck- ets and goat skins into them to re- move the oil, and sometimes it is re- moved: even with palm leaves or the ! hollow hand! It goes without saying that with these methods of exploitation origi- | nating _from the biblical period, the oil wells of Kurdistan, or, as they are better known, of the county of Mosul, have not yet yielded any revenues worth mentioning. But in trying to lease them to foreign and American enterprise for exploitation the Turkish government desires to open one of the richest natural re- sources of its country to moder.n‘ methods of exploitation and organi- zation. i The Tigris river is a yery import-; ant factor in the future transporta- tion of the oil which will probg‘bly‘ be shipped dbwn the river and into! the Persian Gulf bp tank steamers. With modern working methods ap- plied to them, the oil wells of Mossul | will probably become one of the most powerful of oil-producing dis- tricts in the world, but until then the patient and untiring work of sev- eral years and considerable capital will be necessary to make them a paying enterprise.

In the early morning Gale, seeking solitude where he could brood over his trouble, wandered alone. It was not easy for him to elude the Yaqui, and just at the moment when he had cast himself down in a secluded shady corner the Indian appeared, noiseless, shadowy, mysterious as always. The Indian had been told of the loses sustained by Belding and his rangers. “Go—me!” and Yaqui, with ap im- pressive gesture toward the lofty lilac- colored steps of No Name mountains.

What had once heen only a narrow mesquite-bordered trall , was now a well-trodden road. ‘A deep irrigation parallel with the road. Gale had been curious about the operations of the Chases, but a bitterness he could not help had kept him from going out to see the work. He was not_surprised to find that the engineers who-had con- structed the ditches and dam had an- ticipated him in every particular.- The | dammed-up gulch made a magnificent ! reservoir, and Gale could not look up- on the long nirrow lake without a feeling of gladness.

That stone-walled, stone-floored’ gulch would | | never leak, and already it contained | water enough to irrigate the whole of Altar valley for two' dry _seasons. - Yaqui led swiftly along the laki the upper end, where the strea roared down over unsealable ‘walls. | This point was the farthest Gale had ! ever penetrated Into the rough foot- | hills, and he had Belding's word for if | that no white man had ever climbed | No Name mountains from the west. | The Tndian left the gulch and clam- | bered up over a jumble of weathered ! slides and traced a slow course along He looked up and seemed to select a point for ascent.

Before him | the wall rose, leaning over him, shut- ting out the light, a dark mighty moun- tain mass. - Innumerable cracks and crevices and/’caves ‘Toughened ‘the bulging sides of dark; rock. Yaqui tied one end of his lassa ta the short, stout stick and, carefully disen- | whirled the stick >flu-‘e§v"rl it almost over the first rim of the shelf, per- haps thirty feet up. The stick did not lodge. Yaqul tried again.” This time It caught in a crack. He pylled hord, Then, holding to the lasso, he walked up the steep slant, hand over hand on the rope. When he reached the shelf he motioned for Gale to follow. Gale found that method of sfaling a wall both quick and easy. Yaqul pulled up the lasso, and threw the stick aloft in- He climbed to an- other shelf, and Gale followed him: The third effort brought them to a more rugged bench a hundred feet above the slides.

Gale lay back and rested for a while without note of anything except the blue sky. Then he sat up. He was amazed to find that after that wonder- ful climb he was only a thousand feet or so above the valley. /Judged by the nature of his effort, hé would have said he had climbed a mile. The village lay beneath him, with:its adobe struc- tures.and tents and buiidings in bright contrast with the older habitations. He saw the green alfalfa fields, and Beld- ing's white horses, looking very small and motionless. He pleased himself by imagining he could pick ofit Blan- co Sol. Then his gaze swept on to the river. Indeed, he realized now why 'some one had named it Forlorn river. Even at this season when it was full of water it had a forlorn aspect. It'was doomed never to mingle with the waters of the Gulf. It wound away down the valley, growing wider and shallower, en- croaching more and more on the gray flats, until it disappeared on its sad Jjourney toward Sonoyta. That vast shimmering, sun-governced waste recog- nized its life only at this flood season, and was already with parched tongue and Insatlate fire licking and burning up its futile waters. Yaqui put a hand on Gale’s knee. It was a bronzed, scarred, powerful hand, always eloquent of = meaning. The’Indlan 'was listening.
