GOVERNMENT HAS
MADE CHANGE
COAL LAND LAWS
REGULATIONS GOVERNING PER
MITS AMENDED BY THE
LAND OFFICE.
A circular recently issued by the
general land office announces the
amendment of Paragraph 5 of the
regulations of March 20, 1921, Circu
lar No. 744 (48 L. D., 50), governing
coal prospecting permits in Alaska
under the act of March 4, 1921, was
amended by the department of the
interior on October 1, 1925, by add
ing a paragraph, as follows:
(g) After a permit is ready for de
livery, the permittee will be notified
and allowed thirty days within which
to furnish a bond with approval cor
porate surety or two qualified individ
ual surities, in the sum fixed by the
secretary when the permit is granted,
but not to exceed $500, conditional up
on compliance with the terms of the
permit and against failure of the per
mittee to use reasonable precautions
to prevent damage to the coal de
posits or to leave the premises in a
safe condition upon the termination
of the premit. With bonds signed by
individual sureties must be filed affi
davits of justification by the sureties
that each is worth double the sum
specified in the undertaking over and
above his just debts and liabilities,

It isn’t gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder and makes power.
It’s gas—air, mixed in the carbure
tor with gasoline to form vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car
bon residue on valves, spark plugs
and cylinder walls.
That’s why you get better mile
age out of uRed Crown”—and a
cleaner, sweeter-running engine.
