Arctic explorer claims two vast oil lakes near Point Barrow
Alexander Malcolm Smith, Arctic explorer, says he found two giant oil lakes near Point Barrow five years ago and has mapped an old belt shadowing the North Pole. He notes better quality oil could be shipped at 25 cents a barrel cheaper than from San Francisco, hindered mainly by the short navigation season. Smith travels with dog team leader Slim, who dislikes Seattle weather.
