San Francisco Capital. I
The Peterson Oil Company is com
posed largely of influential business
men of San Francisco and ample cap
ital is on hand, it is stated, to carry
the work thru to a successful con- .
elusion. The oil in the Chickaloon
region gas been determined as of |
parafme base, making it particularly .
attractive as this kind of oil is be- ]
coming more or less scarce on the ,
market. The general formation of
the district is similar to that of W. ]
Virginia and Pennsylvania, where i
enormously rich oil wells have been I
brought in and around the coal beds.
Hole Already 1,000 Feet.
Three years ago, Captain Peterson ;
and associates were in the Chicka- 1
loon field prospecting for coal with
a diamond drill. They sank beyond «
the vein and at an approximate depth
of 1000 feet struck a heavy flow of
mineral gas. Drilling was continued ;
to 1094 feet where work was order
ed stopped by Capt. Peterson. At
this point the drill was going thru
dark course sandstone having a dis
tinct odor of gas. The structure, ac
cording to the records and govern
ment reports are extremely favorable
for oil. In charge of the drilling
which will start within a few days
will be Mr. Monson, an expert drill
er who has been employed formerly
by the Standard Oil Company.
Gov’t Reports Favorable.
In the 12th annual report of the
Director of the Bureau of Mines to
the Secretary of the Interior, with
reference to the Chickaloon field
will be found a paragraph to the ef
fect “there are distinct possibilities
of finding oil and gas in the Chicka
loon coal field.” Seepages in the
Matanuska district, which includes
Chickaloon, and at other points in
near proximity to the Alaska Rail
road, are taken as favorble indica
tions and abundant signs that there
are numerous oil deposits, according
to the 1922 report on progress and in
vestigations, of the late Dr. A. H.
Brooks and others, of the geological
survey department.
Three Domes In Region.
There are three domes of oil struc
ture grouped about the vicinity of
the seepage, Capt. Peterson said.
With the entry of the Peterson Oil
Company in the Alaska field, the to
tal number of companies now active
or inactively engaged in the Alaska
oil fields ,is placed at eight. These

COUNCIL ADOPTS TAX LEVY
OF TWENTY MILLS FOR 1925
At its meeting last night a resolu
:ion was passed by the council fixing
die tax levy for the year 1925 at 20
mills or tw'o per cent. At this figure
die taxable property of the city will
;otal about SI,360,000, giving the city
l revenue of a little over S24,000. The
iiudget prepared by the city clerk
show's that approximately S19.000 will
le needed to run the city through the
iscal year, the other §5,000 being
leeded for incidental expenses.
