Q Where else in the world is Gilsonite found? A I don't know of any other; may be deposits,-- I don't know of them. Q In your reading and study have you learned of any deposit of Gilsonite at other points in the world? A I have not. But I don't pose as a specialist in that line. MR. BLACKMAR: I will say for your information they have it in the state of Missouri, also in the state of Oklahoma. MR. FARNSWORTH: I don't know whether you know about that or not, Mr. Blackmar. MR. BLACKMAR: At any rate, I invested some money on the theory it was there. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Do you know how the name of this material was arrived at? A Yes sir. I knew the man, Mr. Sam Gilson was prospecting over there; his attention was called to these veins -- Q It was named for Sam Gilson? |
