for the use of the U. 8. Geological
Survey
While engaged in the work in Pot-
ter ' Amarillo i and Hutchison 'Bor-'
ger) counties. Gould noted and map-
ped the structure, that later was to
produce oil and gas. but his reports
and maps gathered dust in official
pigeon holes until 1916 In that year.
M C Nobles of Amarillo employed
Gould to look into oil prospects In
a section of Oklahoma The report
was unfavorable and Nobles then
asked about the Texas Panhandle.

started in the northern pan of Pot-

it tupped the world s biggest natur-
al gas reservoir producing 10.000.000
cubic feet o! gas dally and several
other wells were drilled No 4 pro-
