INTEREST IN OIL
IN ALASKA SHOWS
STEADYINCREASE
From Kootsnahoo inlet to the
foothills of Mount Peulik and the
shores of Lakes Becharotf and Uga
shik there is scattered a hungry
tribe of seekers after the hidden
wealth of oil-bearing sands number
ing 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, snuggled through nigger
heads, battled with hostile nature in
myriad forms, explored and opened
unmapped country for the sake oi
the precious yellow sands of the
creeks and valleys of the big In
terior placer fields, another breed
is today penetrating 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 yel
low' 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 definitely started, and hun
dreds, in fact thousands, have their
attention riveted on every section
that is being prospected. The first
strike, be it is ever so small, which
shows promise, will see the big
stampede movement which the North
knows so well from its repetitions
following gold discoveries.
Only a few short months have
elapsed since the oil leasing regu
lations in Alaska were arranged so
that prospecting and leasing of oil
lands could be accomplished. In
that short time, according to figures
just issued by the U. S. land office,
a total of approximately 162,000
acres of oil land have been covered
by applications for permits. More
than that amount has been located
by prospectors who have not yet
filed for permits. It is almost a
certainty that 350,000 acres of Alas
kan oil land in several different
fields now have location monuments
erected on them, and the end is
not in sight. Hardly a boat from
the South but that carries on it
passengers bound for fields already
entered.
Cold Bay in Lead.
In the number of applications
filed for permits, the Cold Bay dis
trict leads all others and has more
than twice as many as it nearest
competitor. Twenty-eight applica
tions have already been filed there
and the land office has unofficial
information that many more claims
have been located and will be cov
ered by applications as soon as pos
sible.
At least one drilling outfit is
known to be enroute to Cold bay
fields, owned by Capt. J. J. Finne
gan and associates, and will start
operations in a short time. This
outfit left Seattle several weeks ago
on the steamer Catherine D. and the
boat is believed to have landed it
within a few miles of the scene of
drilling. Expert drillers from Texas
fields form the crew and work will
be pushed to the utmost.
Where Claim* Are Located.
In a statement issued by the
Juneau land office the following list
NEW

of claims fop which applications for
permits have been filed is contained:
Cold Bay .28
Katalla .10
Kootsnahoo .1.15
Iniskin Bay .12
Yakataga . 1
Cordova . 1
Total . 67
“In addition to these claims,”
says the statement, “this office has
unofficial information that 65 loca
tions have already been made in
the Cold Bay district; five others in
the Katalla field, it is understood,
were recently located. It is also
known that there are a large num
ber of claims in the Katalla field
for which applications will be filed
under the preference rights provi
sions of the leasing law.
“A company headed by H. R.
Harriman has seven claims in the
above region, each of approximately
160 acres, which were located under
the old law. B. L. Thane of Ju
neau is interested in this company,
which now has highly qualified geolo
gists in the field securing additional
information as to formations and
prospects. Falcon Joslin and Geo.
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. Fur
ther work of a geological nature ii
now being done for them.
Field Near Cape Spencer.
The location of a likely looking
field is indicated in a statement,
which says: “The claims in the
Kootsnahoo inlet, which is situated
about 80 miles south of Juneau, ad
join the coal fields in that vicinity.
Indians and others have found seep
ages at several points in the field.
The Indians have also stated on
several occasions that they have
found seepage oil near Cape Spencer
and along the coast line around Li
tuya 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 Yakutat,
and also that entire beach at Yaka
taga is plastered with locations.
Locator’s Hampered.
“Persons who have already locat
ed claims in the Cold Bay district,
and those who are now there for
that purpose, are greatly handi
capped and hampered in their work
by lack of location landmarks which
are used in describing claims for
which applications for permits are
filed. It is understood that a peti
tion as been forwarded from the
district''direct to the secretary of
the interior at Washington, asking
to have an official survey made this
summer if possible.
