four trained geologists, “borrowed”

Seattle and New York cash, will
begin immediately in the Alaska
i oil fields a hunt for large oil pools

! gasoline and varied high-priced
lubricants which Dr. J. C. Martin,
of the U. S. Geological survey, and
Major Albert C. Brooks, of the
Bureau of Mines, are positive can

quest, one being the Chilkait Oil
