He is still confident that oil deposits are present in the region. The seepages give proof of that but they do not in- dicate it's location. It is possible. he added, that the surface oil found in the district may come from considerable distance, forcing it's way to the surface from great depths. believe some day big field will be brought in somewhere there but it may be- even 75 or 100 miles from the site of our drilling" he declared.
