; OIL LOCATIONS
MADE MANY
PARTS ALASKA
From Kootsnahoo Inlet to the foot
hills of Mount Peulik and the
shores of Lakes Becharof and Uga
shik there is scattered a hungry tribe
^ of seekers after the hidden- wealth
of oil bearing sands numbering into
the hundreds and to whose ranks are
being added daily more and still more
men bent on the same mission.
As the pioneers of ’98 and earlier
days braced unknown rivers, crossed
swamps, struggled through nigger
heads, battled with hostile nature in
myriad forms, explored and opened
unmapped country for the sake of the
precious yellow sands of the creeks
and valleys of the big interior plac
er fields, another breed is today pene
trating little known places after the
^ thick greasy fluid known as crude
oil which may be processed into
many products, but all of which, like
the glittering yeollow golden magnet
of earlier days, mean magic riches.
350,000 ACRES LOCATED ON
The oil stampede is on, in its in
-fancy if you wish, but nevertheless
it is definietly started and hundreds,
in fact thousands, have their attention
riveted on every section that is be
ing prospected. The first strike, be it
over so small, which shows promise,
will see the big stampede movement
which the north knows so well form
its repetitions following gold discov
eries.
Only little more than four short
months have elapsed since the oil
leasing regulations in Alaska were
arranged so that prospecting and
leasing of oil lands could be accom
plished. In that short time, accord
ing to figures just issued by the U.
S. Land Office, a total of approxi
mately 162,000 acres of oil land are
covered by applications for permits
filed up to July 1. More than that
amount has been located by prospec
tors who have not yet filed for per
mits. It is almost a certainty that
350,000 acres of Alaskan oil land in
several different fields now have lo
cation monuments erected cn them
and the end is not in sight. Hardly a
boat from the south but that carries
cn it passengers bound for fields al
ready entered.
COLD BAY IN LEAD
In the number of applications filed
for permits, the Cold Bay district
leads all others and has more than
twice as many as its nearest com
petitor. Twenty eight applications
have already been filed there and
the land office has unofficial infor
mation that many more claims have
been located and will be covered
by applications as soon as possible.
At least one drilling outfit is
known to be enroute to Cold Baj
fields, owned by Capt. J. J. Finnegan
and associates and will start opera
tions in a short time. This outfil
left Seattle several weeks ago on
the steamer Catherin D. and the
boat^ is believed to have landed il
within a few miles of the scene oi
drilling. Expert drillers from Ttxas
^ fields form the crew and work will be
pushed to the utmost.
WHERE CLAIMS LOCATED
In a statement issued by the
Juneau Land Office the following list
of claims for which applications for
permit have been filed is contained:
Cold Bay ...28
Katalla .1C
Kootsnahoo .15
Iniskin Bay .12
Yakataga .1
| Cordova . 1
Total . 67
“hi addition to these claims,” says
the statement, “this office has unof
ficial information that 65 location
have already been made in the Cold
Bay district; five others in the Ka
talla field, it is understood were re
cently located. It is also known that
there are a large number of claims
in the Katalla field for which appli
cation will be filed under the prefer
ence rights provisions of the leasing
law.
“A company hea led by H. R. Har
riman has seven c’aims in the above
region each aifaroximately 160 acres,
which were located under the old
law. B. L. Thane of Juneau is inter
ested in this company which now has
highly qualified geologists in the field
securing additional information as to
formations and prospects. Falcon Jos
lin and George C. Hazelet, are also
owners of a number of claims in the
Katalla field. It is their intention to
apply for patent under the old law.
Further work of a geological nature
is now being done for them.
FIELD NEAR CAPE SPENCER
The location of a likely looking
field is indicated in the statement
which says: “The claims in the Koot
snahoo Inlet, which' is situated about
80 miles south of Juneau adjoining the
coal fields in that vicinity. Indians
and others have found seepages at
several points in the field. The In
dians have also stated on several oc
casions that they have found seepage
oil near Cape Spencer and along the
coast line around Lituya Bay. Up to
the present time there have been no
claims filed in that vicinity. Reports
have been received that a number of
claims have been located near Yaku
: tat, an cl also that the entire beach at
Yakataga is plastered with locations.
LOCATORS HAMPERED
“Persons who have already located
claims in the Cold Bay district, and
those who are now there for that
purpose, are greatly handicapped and
hampered in their work by lack of
location landmarks which are used
official surveys showing the definite
in describing claims for which appli
cations for permits are filed. It is
understood that a petition has been
forwarded from the district direct to
the Secretary of the Interior at Wash
ington asking to have an official sur
vey made this summer if possible.”

FRENCH PAPERS TAKE
UP FIGHT AGAINST THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING
PAIRS, July 19 (by Associated
Press). — A determined campaign
against the_ high cost of living in
France has been inaugurated by the
French press. “Buy nothing but the
utmost necessities, drop in prices is
coming,’’ is a caption which many
newspapers carry in heavy black type
in the center of their news pages.
Newspapers of all shades and opinion,
all over the country, have joined in
the campaign with the result that a
noticeable fall in the wholesale prices
has been realized. This has not yet
affected retail prices, however. An
appeal is to be made to the consumers
to organize a week’s strike to bring
down the price of fresh vegetables.
