Ihe first oil leasing and prospect
ing permit for Alaska was issued to
a Cordovan and Fred Haef received
the document from the Juneau land
office. It was signed on Sept. 2,
1920 by First Assistant Secretary of
the Interior, Fred Vogelsany.
LOCATED AT YATAKAGA
The claim which is covered by
the permit is located at Yakataga
Beach, about four and one-half miles
east of Cape Yakataga. It contains
the maximum amout of ground al
k*»red under the oil leasing bill, of
2,560 acres. It is known as the
Northern Oil claim.
The claim was located on Febru
ary 27, 1920. Application for lease
war filed at the Juneau land office
on July 15, last, and just five days
more than the necessary legal six
months elapsed between the date of
location and the issuance of the per
mit by the department of the in
terior.
PREFERENCE RIGHT
The principle of protecting pre
peuence rights of claimants under the
old location filings made prior to the
withdrawal of the oil lands for entry
is to a certain extent involved in the
issuance of the permit to Mr. Haef.
His claim covers ground which was
located under the old law, and which
it has heretofore been thought, came
under the preference right provisions
^f the oil leasing act. Under these,
the old claimants were given a year
subsequent to the date when the new
law became effective in which to as
sert their prior right. This time will
not expire until February 25, 1920.
Whether the action in the present
case in issuing a permit on such
ground will stand as a precedent in
applications filed for permits in like
instances is not known.
DELAY IN FORWARDING
Owing to certain differences be
tween the permit as issued and the
terms of the regulations applicable
for Alaska, the permit was not issued
until the matter had been rectified.
The provisions contained in it are
identical with those governing the
oil leasing permits issued on claims
in the state. Provisions for Alaskan
^claims are more lenient that those in
the states, the terms being modified
to a considerable extent on account of
certain natural obstacles to pros
pecting and operations encountered
in this country which are not met
with in the other sections of the
United States.
The provisions as specified by the
permit state:
TERMS OF PERMIT
“(1). To mark each of the corners
of the clam within 90fi days from the
date thereof (Sept.2) with substantial
monuments so that the boundaries can
be readily traced on the ground and
post in a conspicuous place, upon the
lands covered hereby, a notice that
^uch a permit has been granted, and
a description of the lands covered by
the permit.
“(2). Within six months from the
date hereof to install upon some por
tion of the lands a substantial and ad
,'<r-cquate drilling outfit and to com
mence drilling operations.
“(3). Within one year from date
hereof to drill one or more wells, not
less than six inches in diameter to a
depth of at least 500 feet each, unless
valuable deposits Of oil or gas shall
be sooner discovert.
“(4). Within two years from date
hereof to drill one or more wells not
less than six inches in diameter to a
depth of at least 2,000 feet unless
valuable deposits of oil or gas shall
be discovered.”
ALASKA KfclaUL-A I IUIN&
The Alaska regulations differ from
these terms materially, and it is ap
parent that in making out the permit
Ifra form was not changed through an
oversight. Under the modification of
the regulations allowed in Alaska
* fields, holders of permits are allowed
one year in which to mark out their
claims writh monuments and post the
required notices. Two years are al
lowed in which to begin drilling oper
ations. Three years are specified as
the limit for drilling wells to a 500
foot depth, and 4 years to at lease
2,000 feet.

STR. ALASKA TO
RUN TO SOUTH
THIS WINTER
According to information received
from Seattle, the steamship Alaska
is to be taken off the northern run
this winter to enter the service of
San Francisco and Portland Steam
ship company. The vessel is to be in
southern waters from November 1 to
March 1, when she will return to the
Alaska route.
........ i .
li is unaersiooa mat me remuvcu
of the Alaska from the northern run
will make a material cut in the steam
ship service to the westward this
year. There are five boats on the run
now. Two will pribably be laid up for
repairs- at the same time, which with
the removal of the Alaska, will leave
only two boats to the westward.
The Portland and San Francisco
Steamship company has been short
of vessels since the commandering of
and the wrecking of the steamship
Bear. The company is reported to
have made a flattering offer for the
services of the Alaska during the win
ter excursion season to California,
the charter was sanctioned by the Al
aska Steamship company. Final de
tails, however, are yet to be complet
ed, according to John Bunch, gener
al freight and passenger agent of the
local concern.
The charter party calls for the de
livery of the steamship Alaska to the
San Francisco & Portland Steamship
company at San Francisco, Nov. 1,
and her sailing from there for Port
land on Nov.
She will operate in that service op
posite to the steamship ose City,
which is now operating on a nine day
schedule, and the addition of the loc
al vessel will permit of the restora
tion of the old five days schedule in
that service.
VESSEL KNOWN TO RUN
The entrance of the steamship
Alaska into the service between
Portland and San Francisco will not
be a new event in the history of that
vessel, for she was on that route in
former years when she was known
1 as the steamship Kansas City. It is
understood that Capt. J. G. Nord and
the present crew of the vessel will
be retained to handle her in the new
temporary service.
