Act; Extension of
Time Is Given
( By act of Congress approved Jan
' uary 11, 1022 (42 Stat., 356), the
! Secretary of the Interior was author
| ized to grant an extension of time to
, comply with the drilling require
i ments under oil and gas permits
I granted pursuant to the act of Feb
ruary 25, 1920 (41 Stat., 437). This
act applies to the Territory of Alas
ka
The text of the act is as follows:
“Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of "Representatives of the
United States of America in Cong
ress assembled, that the Secretary of
the Interior may, if he shall find that
any oil or gas permittee has been
unable, with the exercise of dili
*j gence, to begin drilling operations oi
to drill wells of the d> pth and with
in the time ; described by section 13
of the act of Congrcs approved Feb
ruary 25, 1920, forty-first Stat. page
437, extend the time for beginning
such drilling or completing it, to the
^ amount specified in the act for such
- time not exceeding three years and
r upon such conditions as he shall pre
I scribe.”
Accordingly, a permittee who has
I been unable with the exercise of due
diligence to comply with the drilling
requirements of a permit issued un
1 der any section of the act of Febru
; ary 25, 1920, may, if the facts war
. rant, be granted an extension of time
upon filing an application therefor,
» accompanied by his own affidavit
; setting forth what efforts, if any, he
has made to comply with the terms
of his permit and the reasons for
delay in the full compliance there
with, apd such showing to be accom
panied by the corroborating affida
vits of at least one disinterested per
son having actual knowledge of the
facts.
In making an application for ox
tension of time the permittee must
show that the corners of the claim
have been marked with substantial
monuments and that a notice has
been posted as required in para
graphone of the permit as there is
no provision of law under which the
time may be extended for compliance
with that requirement. The permit
tee must show whether or not any
oil or gas well is being drilled, on
the geological structure upon which
the land embraced in the permit is
located, or within approximately 10
miles of such land, and if such well
is being drilled ,give the legal sub
division, section, township, and range
on which the well is located, and
furnish as full information as he can
as to when the well was begun, its
approximate depth, the character of
the formation penetrated and the
prospect for discovery of oil and gas.
If the application for extension ' is
based upon contributions made by the
permittee toward sinking a test well
upon the structure, full disclosure of
the amount and nature of such con
tributions and the conditions under
which the same were made must be
shown, which showing must be cor
roborated by the affidavit of one or
more of the parties under whose au
thority the well is being drilling.
The affidavit by the applicant
must also show the time when he
proposes to commence or resume his
operations and any arrangement he
has made for complying with the
drilling requirements of the permit.
If the applicant alleges that he has
entered into a contract to drill the
land, his application must be sup
ported by the affidavit of the drill
ing contractor as to the terms of the
contract, the means at his command
for carying out the same, and the
time when he expects to begin drill
ing opertaions there under.
An extension of time to perform
one of the acts required by the per
mit necessarily extends for the same
period of time for the performance
of all subsequent requirements and
as the bond is expressily limited by
its terms to the period for which the
permit was granted, the permittee
must furnish a properly executed as
sent by the surety to the extension
of his bond to cover the life of the
permit as it will be extended if an
extension is granted.
The application may be filed in the
General Land office or in the local
office having jurisdiction over the
land involved by the permit. In the
latter event proper applications will
be promptly forwarded to this office
by the local officers. In cases where
applications for extensions filed in
the local office are not in accordance
herewith, you will require the permit
tees to remedy the defects within 15
days from receipt of notice, and will
transmit the applications with evi
dence of service and a report of ac
tion taken at the expiration of the
time allow’ed.
Circular No. 801, approved Janu
ary 13, 1923, is hereby amended sc
as to conform herewith.

STRIKING INE WSBO YS AT
EVERETT TEAR UP PAPERS
EVERETT .Aug-. 9.—The first out
break resulting from the strike of
Everett newsboys of the Seattle P.-I.
came yesterday when hundreds of
P.-I/s stacked in bundled on down
town corners were seized .torn into
shreds and scattered far and wide
until in spots they were almost knee
deep.
As a result of the disturbance,
all newsboys, union and non-union,
and regardless of what papers they
were selling, were ordered off the
streets by the police acting under
ordei~s from Commissioner T. E.
Headlee.
The chief point of the disturbance
was at Hewitt and Wetmore, in
front of the bachelor & Cornel
clothing store. Pedestrians were forc
ed to wade through a mass of paper
which cluttered the sidewalks and
street for half a block in every di
rection.
The Saturday night crowds con
centrated on this corner until the
police were forced repeatedly to dis
perse them.
Saturday afternoon, a number of
the striking newsboys followed a
band in a parade down Hewitt ave
nue carying a banner declaring the
Post-Intelligencer unfair to organ
ized labor. The boys are striking in
sympathy with the printers of the
P.-I. ,who are out on strike.
