ALL ARRANGEMENTS COMPLET
ED AND DRILLING EXPECTED
TO BEGIN AT ONCE
The General Petroleum company
will probably start drilling for oil at
Yakataga at once according to word
brought to Juneau last week by R. W.
I Wiley, who has just returned from
the field. He is one of the men who
promoted the development in the
field that led to the prospecting by
the company, and is widely known for
his activities in the mining industry
in the Territory.
The oil drilling crew arrived on
the last trip northward of the steam
er Admiral Watson. It was taken
at once to the scene of operations.
The rig has been erected, all supplies
and material assembled and when Mr. j
Wiley left for Juneau, the dump hole
was virtually completed.
Mr. Wiley made no prediction as to I
the probable time it will take for;
prospecting to determine the value of
the field. Company and other geolo
gists have estimated that oil should
be encountered between 7fi0 and S00
feet. Drilling, said Mr. Wiley, will
be carried on into and through the
winter should it be necessary.

ing parties of all kinds. Three years

OEM MEN DISCOVERED
SEVI/ARD STREET CORNERS
Two dead men were discovered or
Fourth avenue this morning by early
risers. They should serve as a warn
ing to motorists rot to cut capers
around street intersections. City of
ficials have placed ;he markers in the
, center of Adams and Fourth avenue
and likewise on Washington and
Fourth avenue for the especial bene
fit of automobile drivers and for
other street traffic. Recently there
! have been several narrow escapes
: from serious accidents. The markers
will serve as a guide to drivers and
will avert practically all future dan
ger. This is but the first step taken
by city authorities to enforce rigidly
traffic regulations and all inf ring
men ts thereof will mean but one of
two things, a fine or imprisonment.
