OIL SCOUT IS
INVESTIGATING
KATALLA FIELD
Big oil interests propose to investi
gate the oil-bearing lands of Alaska. j
A scout for one of the biggest oil
producing concerns in the country took
passage on the Admiral Watson, en
route to take a look at the possibili
ties in the Katalla. Yakataga, Iliamna
and Cold Bay fields. He will make a
report on these respective fields, and
Bpon his report much will depend. His
preliminary investigation, if satisfac
tory, will mean that experienced oil
engineers will be sent to the northern
oil fields, and if their reports are en
couraging. then there will be things
doing.
The modestly-dressed, . unassuming
man who stepped aboard the steamer
Admiral Watson just before her de
parture for Alaska rather belied the
fact that he was an accredited repre
sentative of a great corporation, and
that upon his preliminary report of
the Alaska oil fields so much depended.
The oil scout is no stranger in Alaska.
He made a comfortable stake in the
early days of Nome, and then went
Outside for several years, when he re
turned to the Northland to accumu
late another financial nest egg. He
prospected about the Nelchina coun
try and the Cook inlet district for
the past four years, with no particular
success, save that he became connect
ed, through a deal being put through
fey Professor Herschel Parker, with
big oil interests in New York city.
He was summoned to New York city
by the financial magnates backing
Professor Parker, and seemed to make
a hit with them. They sent him on
an oil-scouting trip to Texas. He
leased large areas of oil-bearing lands
and the first well started proved to
11 SfimillirniiniimirtniiinimimimromniiininmnniiminTTinnitmimimniinHimiHimtiiimMii
be a gusher that produced 5,000 bar
rels a day. It was easy after that.
The oil magnates gave him a bonus of
$20,000, put him on their payroll for
$500 per month and expenses, and
told him to take the first boat for
Alaska. His name is W. R. Julian.
He is not an oil engineer in the
strict sense of the word. He is a
prospector, a keen observer, and has
a whole lot of good, common sense,
and he is entirely dependable. These
are the characteristics that impressed
the oil magnates when they employed
him.—Seattle Alaska Dispatch.
