NORTHERN OIL FIELD RICHEST
 IN THE WORLD
Pt. Barrow Physician De scribes Great Oil Field
 of That District

Alaska has the richest oil field in the world. richest in both quantity and quality. declared pr. II. w. Greist. a visitor today at the weekly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. He was for several years surgeon in charge of a hospital at Point Barrow. the farthest north fnsti- tuition of it's kind in the world he said.
 The oil field, he said. lies within $50 miles of the North Pole. Reserved by the Federal Government for the U. S. Navy, no man may touch it. And were this not true, natural obstacles to development probably would prevent exploitation at least in the near future.
 Extent Not Known
 The extent of the great field, pr. Greist continued, is not yet determined. For many years the region in which it is located was a veritable No Mans Land, stretching from the shores of
The Daily Alaska empire., 1927-09-09

the Arctic Ocean back to the En- dicott Mountains. For several years the Federal Government has had surveyors in the field but the facts gathered by survey parties are unknown outside of official circles.
 Vast lakes of oil lie within the region. Solid. black as night, even in August, the hottest month of the Arctic summer, one may walk across the surface of these lakes, he said. It is used for fuel, cakes of the black substance being taken out and set on fire. The great problem is the method of development and. as it is re- served for the Navy. the respon- sibility for it's developments rests upon the Government.
