ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THE OIL
PROSPECTS IN NEW MEXICO

Roy Thomas. who is looking after
the interests OF the Sinclair Gulf COM
pany in New Mexico, with headuuar-
ters IN Tucumcari. is in Fort Worth
for few days. says the Star-TeIe-
gram OF that city He was formerly
chief scout for the Sinclair company
in the north central Texas fields.
Thomas has become very enthusiast
tic over the prospects for an oil field
in New Mexico since he went to that
state He reports that there are be-
tween 20 and 30 tests in the eastern
part Of the state and that a number
Of other drilling contracts are pend
ing Two or three OF these tests are
down around 1900 to z400 feet and that
operators are confident OF a big pro-
auction at around $500 feet in a black
lime practically the same as that
found at Ranger.
Many Of the larger companies have
extensive holdings in the eastern part
Of the state. The Carter OH company
Is reported TO hold very extensive
acreage there. Among the other com
panies with vast acreage are the
Gypsy, Sinclair and the Empire The

Company Refuses To
Aid Geological Suroeu

Representative Parrish OF the 18th
Texas congressional district is urg-
ing that the United States geological
survey make Investigations in Mon
tague. Baylor, ThrOclzmorton. Den
ton, Cooke and Wise counties where
extensive drilling for oil is going on,
and also in Wilbarger. Young. Archer.
Jack, Clay and Wichita counties
which are already producing.
II appears that the geological sur
vey has no immediate intention Of
making any surveys in Burkburnett
and nearby oil fields but it has men
at work in the Ranger field. Topo-
graphical mapping has been done in
both Wichita and Wilbarger counties.
George Otis Smith, director Of the
Geological survey, is quoted as say
ing; These maps were designed as
a base for a very detailed geological
map Of the area covered which would
have particular reference 10 the oil
and gas resources. However, when
one OF the largest companies operat-
ing in the region refused 10 cooperate
by supplying well log data the work
was Indefinitely postponed. There Is
no law which can be invoked to COM
pei the furnishing OF such data"
