Hide Profile

Dr. E. T. Dumble (1852-1927) served as state geologist of Texas from 1888 to 1896, supervising one of the early mineralogical surveys of the region. From 1897 until his retirement in 1925, he also acted as organizer and manager of the Southern Pacific Oil Companies. He is, thus, reputed to be one of the furst individuals to establish a geologic department within a petroleum firm.
