PECULIAR OIL
FORMATION AT
WIDE BAY FIELD
NEW DEVELOPMENTS UNDER
WAY AT FAMOUS OIL CAMP
SAYS SEWARD ARRIVAL
AN INVERTED DOME
Well Known Kanatak Man Purchasing
Holes on Other Claims for
Boring Mountain.
The East Field of the Cold Bay oil
district will soon witness something
entirely new and original in the de
velopment of oil claims. Jack Ma
son, the w’ell known geologist, has lo
cated what is now known in the field
as the “Mason Depressed Dome,” and
has engaged a crew of men to brush
out a trail to his later find. The ex
act location of the claim is known to
but few, as Mr. Mason is not desirous
of starting a stampede to the district
until the frost is well out of the
ground and the mosquitoes have had
time to sharpen their drills. This
much, however, has been released for
publication:
The “Dome,” unlike others in this
field, is inverted and instead of pierc
ing the structure from the top in the
usual manner it is proposed to tap
the oil body, if any, from the bottom.
A new and novel expedient will be
resorted to in order to release the oil
without the use of the regular drill
ing equipment. This consists of driv

ing a tunnel or outlet thru an adjoin
ing mountain. Mr. Mason is now ne
gotiating for the purchase of several
dry holes in the north end of the field.
These will he pulled up, cut into suit
able lengths, and pushed thru the
mountain a section at a time until the
oil is reached. This manner of tap
ping the inverted dome will eliminate
the escape of gas and the latter will
be used to float a company.
Mr. Mason, with his usual modesty
and diffidence, refused to discuss at
length the plans or proposed activi
ties of the company about to be form
ed. He merely stated that the new
dome would bear his name and that h ■
would act as president, secretary,
treasurer and chairman ex-officio of
the board of directors for the time be
ing. Later they may hire a man to as
sume these offices. He further stated
that many flattering offers had be a
received from parties wishing to g
in on the ground floor of his newly
discovered method of tapping oil
strata. One Swede, in particular, w .s
so impressed with the plan that h
offered a dog and a five gallon keg of
codfish for a half interest.
Much speculation is rife among the
residents of Wide Bay as to feasi
bility of this project, some claiming
that the holes will bend and buckle
on being pushed through the moun
tain, while others contend that by
tapping the storage basin from below
the lower sediment will clog them.
However, they are all in accord in
wishing Mr. Mason the best of luck in
his new undertaking.

prominent oil man of Kanatak, and is

dents of the district.)

Poor Fish Season
To the Westward,
State Late Arrivals
Fishing in general to the Westward
districts is very poor this year for
some unknown reason, state arrivals
in Seward last night on the steamer
Starr. Squaw Harbor is doing fairly
well, but on the South side of Bris
tol Bay there is hardly any fish. On
the Nushagak side a fair pack is be
ing put up. For several years past
large packs have been canned at Nak
nek but this season there is almost
nothing. The two new whalers,
which were recently in Seward, have
arrived at the Akutan whaling sta
tion. There is probably 150 men em
ployed in this industry and accord
ing to indications while the Starr was
in port, a fair whaling season is un
der way.
Mr. A. R. Roberts, wife of the local
dentist, will leave on the steamship
Northwestern for Portland, to under
go treatment for eye trouble. Mrs.
Roberts has been under the care of
Dr. Baughman pending the arrival of
the steamer.
ARE YOU ALL RUN

Feel all out of sorts?
Tired, achy, blue, irritable?
Back lame and stiff?

Upsetting blood and nerves.
There’s a way to feel right again.
Help your weakened kidneys with
Doan’s Pills—a stimulent diuretic.
Doan’s are recommended by many
people in this locality.
Mrs. Mary Donohue, 272 Lisbon
St., San Francisco, Cal., says: “Pain
in my back was so bad at one time
that I was afraid to stoop over when
doing my work about the house.
Many a time my back became weak.
Bearing down pains annoyed me and
it wasn’t long before I found myself
run down. Every now and then I
had dizzy spells. Doan’s Pills reliev
ed me and the symptoms disappear
ed.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
