in the applications are located in the
Yakataga district.
Mr. Livinsaler has been prominent

three years field manager in Califor
nia oil fields, two years in the same
capacity in British Columbia fields,
and interested in oil prospecting in
Washington for some time. Mr. Leak
ley has been in the mining game for
20 years, some of which were spent
in Alaska.
The list of unit holders in the syn
dicate comprise many prominent Se
attle men including J. J. Underwood,
for years Washington correspondent
for the Seattle Times. The original
locators of the claims are W. H.
Chase, E. J. Davis and M. J. Sullivan,
all of Cordova, who are likewise unit

Development Syndicate applications
eight others were filed by various

acreage of 15,880 acres. Out of this
number Katalla leads with 7,680,

leasing permit covering 640 acres in
the same field.
The six permits sought cover a
totgl of 11,520 acres, located in the
