F. Sinclair, chairman of the
board of the Sinclair Consolidat-
ed Oil Corporation, in an inter-
view here Thursday said.
I believe this is • the* biggest
oil field that I ever saw in the
making. Personally you can
quote me as saying 1 pelieve it
has never yet been scratchd.
From reports I have received, I
believe that gushers of tremen-
dous proportions will be uncov-
ered, greater than the Permian
field of West Texas and the
, "preat gusher field of old Mexico.
• Mr. Sinclair arrived at Long-
' view Thursday morning in a
special car, and was taken im-
mediately to the Lathrrop well.
. Upon leaving the car in which
he rode to the field, he said to
. the Dallas News correspondent
"I regard this as the great won-
der field of East Texas.”
As the interview took place,
several large planes of the Sin-
clair Corporation roared over
the field, taking topographical
i pictures. .2 .
"I am just here on a general
inspection trip," Mr. Sinclair
said. "What I have seen con-
vinces me that it is worth while
investigating, and that is what’
I am doing. 0
“My rigs will begn to arrive
in a short time as I have tre-
mendous holdings in this sec-
L lion and I am going Jo J get the
