DR. DUTTON WITH
EARLY OIL MEN

Speaking of Dr. Dutton, who recent
ly passed through Seward for the
States on his first trip out in twenty
years, Jack McCord, old time friend of
Dr. Dutton, stated to a Gateway rep
I'esentative, that the doctor was one
of the original locators in the Inni
skin Bay oil field, remaining on the
ground for seven years, with the first
drilling outfit. That was twenty
years ago and the company was then
down 1S00 feet when operations ceas
ed. He is much enthused over the
entree into the field, of the Superior
Oil Company. It is stated Dr. Dut
ton knows the district thoroughly and
has a vast amount of statistics avail
able regarding the earlier oil opera
tions in the district.

The Superior Oil Company geologists
now in the Inniskin oil region, will
recommend a test well be sunk in the

turned to Seward the first of the week
from a fifteen-days visit to the Oil and
Inniskin bay regions. It is believed
the structure is closed, that on Bow

ogists appear satistied with their find
ings, Mr. McCord said, a favorable in
dication of future activities in the dis
trict.
The Calvin party of engineers and
geologists are running cross sections
in the Spike camp region, working
toward the Chitina bay end. The
field work in the Oil and inniskin bay
districts, has been completed by the
party.
Mr. McCord expects to return to the
; oil district in about ten days with en
i gineer Fenton, for the purpose of com
pleting the tying-in of the claims, to
the extended base line, which will be
completed about that time by the Cal
vin party.
