EXCITEMENT IN
OIL CAUSED BY
HIGHER PRICES
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 5 (by Associ
ated Press).—The advance in the
price of Pennsylvania crude oil to $5
a barrel will result in the widest
aa&rch for petroleum this section has
known since the early days of the “oil
excitement,” according to authorities
in the industry here.
Already it has started, and leases
are being taken on territory which was
drille doctor more than half a centui
ago and then abandoned for more pro
ductive fields. Drilling has been com
menced on some of these leases, and
results have been so good as to en
courage others. One field in Alle
gheny county, abandoned in the early
seventies because the one well drilled
proved to be a “duster,” has produced
a number of wells the past few
months.
* ‘The greater part of this develop
ment will be in Western Pennsyl
vania and West Virginia,” explained
the head of a large corporation which
has been developing oil territory for
dollar a barrel one had to irbgn in a
* many years. “When oil was only
good well before he had a paying
proposition. Now with oil at $5 a bar
rel it pays to drill a lot of wells, evenj
though they only produce a barrel or
two a day. We reduce expenses by
connecting these small wells to one
power plant, and pumping them very
^thoroughly. While the initial cost of
drilling is high—about three times as
much as in the old days—economies
of operation and the princely price
of crude make hunting for the Penn
sylvania grade a pretty profitable in
vestment.”
The companies engaged in this work
are usually old-time organizations
which have no stock for sale and
which cover thoroughly with leases
all the territory in the immediate
neighborhood of their operations.
To undergo a complete overhauling,
the lighthouse tender Cedar will leave
for the south withift a few weeks, ac
cording to ananouncement made by
the superintendent of the district. The
vessel will go to Seattle for the re
pairs, but it has not been determined
yet at which yard the work will be
done, as the government yards are so
busy that they may not be able to
handle the Cedar’s repairs. Neither is
it known at this time how long it will
require to make the repairs desired.

notify the carrier boy—repoVt your

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
j ye as^ you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make ue>
| a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
