^ Settlement by mutual agreement
between applicants for oil leasing per
mits where there is a conflict of loca
tions and where the applications were
filed as of the day the oil leasing
bill became effective is permissable
under a ruling recently made by Sec
eretary of the Interior John Barton
Payne, according to notice just re
ceived by the Juneau land office. It is
further ruled that where parties to the
dispute fail to effect a compromise
during the 30 days allowed for such
action, the department can take such
action as it considers right allowing
each of the applicants a portion of the
claims conflicting if it considers ad
visable.
The ruling was rendered by Sec
^jptary Payne in a letter to the com
missioner of the general land office
which follows in full:
Under the general rule of law ap
plicable to such cases, the act of
February 25, 1920, was in force and
operating during that entire day, sub
ject. however, to the privilege of any
person having a substantial right
which would be affected by the appli
cation of the general rule to prove, if
he can, thfe exact time of approval.
“The act ot February 25, 1920, su
pra, section 13, authorizes the Secre
tary of the Interior, under such rules
as he may prescribe, to grant to qual
ified persons a prospecting permit
“upon not to exceed 2,560 acres of
^ land,” and permit would-be applicants
to initiate a preference right, good
for thirty days, by posting notice upon
the ground. This statute and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereun
der do not, however, confer upon such
locators a right to obtain a prospec
ting permit for the entire acreage des
cribed in any notice of location. The
statute simply fixes the maximum
amount which may be embraced in
a single permit, 2,560 acres.
“Paragraph 2, of the regulations ap
proved March 11. 1920, states that the
granting of such a permit “is discre
tionary with the secretary of interior,
and any application may be granted
or denied, either in part or its entire
ty, as the facts may be deemed to war
rant.”
Subject to the foregoing, the follow
ing rule is announced for the guidance
of the officers of the interior depart
ment and of parties in interest in the
disposition of conflicts and controver
sies arising out of locations and appli

cations made or filed during the day
of February 25, 1920:
“All locations made or applications
filed, pursuant to section 13 of the
act of February 25, 1920, at any time
during the day of February 25, 1920,
will be held, treated, and regarded as
simultaneous, and in case of conflict
of location and application, in whole
or in part, between two or more qual-!
ified applicants, all such applicants j
wiil be allowed thirty days from notice
within which to compromise their dif- i
fereces by division of lands or other- j
wise, in default of which the depart
ment will make such division or dis
position as the facts may warrant.”

PARIS, Sept. 20 (by Associat
ed Press).—Absinthe, prohibi
ted in France since the war be
gan, is said by the authorities
to have returned in the disguise
of various imaginative names.
Gone poster that attracts atten
tion shows the tall old absinthe
glass with the sugar spoon
across the top and the one word
“Finally,” indicating to the ad
dicts of the green liquor that
they may have the old sensation
! again, in spite of the law. Sena
tors who questioned the govern
I
ment on the subject during a re
cent session were promised vig
orous prosecutions.
