"It II Important In two ways. First, It probably represents matlon of the exlstanee of million barrel oil reserves In this lion of San Bernardino County. The sands which are yleldlne the oil are, geologically speaking, very much deeper than those that have been known heretofore. Secondly, the hleh quality of the oil Is another discovery of great economic slgnlflcance."
