OIL EXTENSION
REGULATIONS
ARE ISSUED
LAND OFFICE RECEIVES COPY OF
INSTRUCTIONS ON PERMIT
REGULATIONS.
The following circular, No. 1041,
was received at the Anchorage land
office on the last mail from the com
missioner of the general land office
at Washington, containing informa
tion regarding oil permit extensions
which will be of general interest to
holders of permits in Alaska. The
circular dated November 11, is ad
dressed to registers of land offices
and is signed by William Spry, com
missioner, it reads as follows:
On November 4, 1925, in a letter ad
dressed to this office, the department
issued as supplemental to the instruc
tions contained in Circular No. 946
(50 L. D., 567), the following regula
tions:
Contribution development programs
should be submitted to the depart
ment at their inception in order that
it may be determined whether, upon
•the facts disclosed in a given case,
any and all permittees proposing to
contribute may do so with the as
surance that so long as the test is
diligently prosecuted thru their ef
fonts, but limited to me penou pro
vided for in the leasing act and the
act of January 11, 1922, supra, drill
ing on their own permits will be ex
cused.
In cases of individual applications
for extension of time, every applicant
must show by legal subdivisions,
section, township and range where
the test well is being, or is .to be
drilled.
Every application of this nature will
be referred to the geological survey
for report. If the survey shall report
unfavorable the application will be
rejected by you, subject to appeal. If
the survey shall report that it is
without sufficient data as to struc
tures in the region upon which to base
recommendation, only contributions
by permittees the greater pontions
of whose .permit areas are within
a six mile square formed by going
three miles in each cardinal direction
from the northeast corner .of the le
gal subdivision on which the test
well is found, or from the corner
nearest which the test well is shown
to be found, will be recognized. This
is of necessity, a rule of administra
tion, but it is warranted upon the
reasoning and holding in the case
of Helen F. Curns (0 L. D. 353.)
The purchase of capital stock of a
corporation which is drilling for oil
or gas in unproven .territory and
which is dependent upon the sale of
its stock for the continuation of its
! drilling operations, by the holder of

-i ,
a prospectnig permit 'for lands upon
the same structure as that where
.the drilling is carried on may be
considered a contribution towards the
cost of proving the structure which
will warrant 'allowance of extension
of time in which to comply with the
terms of his permit, if contribution
may be considered acceptable in oth
er respects, and if the stock does
not have a market value or is not
saleable. Clearly, if the stock has
a market value the stock is in it
self a consideration 'for the purchase
price and there is no contribution as
contemplated here. Purchase money
for stock which does not go to the
i corporation or which is not needed
I or used to meet the cost of testing
the structure, is not a contriDuuon
which can be accepted as sufficient
in this connection.
In order to make the purchase of
stock acceptable as a contribution as
applicable in the matter under con
sideration, the department must be
satisfied that the purchase induced
the corporation to begin, or to con
tinue drilling, when in the absence
of such purchase it would not have
begun, or continued .to drill. That
does not mean, of course, that the
purchase of stock by one permit
holder must be sufficient, in and of
itself, as an inducement but that sev
eral permit holders may join in mak
ing contributions by means of means
therefore.
While no rule can be laid down
which will govern every case of this
nature, the department will insist that
contributions shall be substantial,
taking into consideration the con
tributing permit holder’s area, the
amount that has been expended in
the test or the estimated cost there
of, and the sourse of means therefor.
As heretofore instructed in Circu
lar No. 946, all applications for ex
tension field in your office, when
complete, will be transmitted to this
office with your report thereon.
You will give the widest publicity
to the above regulations that may
be possible without expense to the
United States.

GREELEY FEELS
INVESTIGATION
WILL All) WORK
REGARDS DETAIL OF HEINTZLE
MAN IMPORTANT STEP IN
FOREST PROGRAM
The detail of B. F. Heintzelman
for a six-months investigation of
the pulp and paper manufacturing
industry in the States and Canada;
to be started early next year, is
considered by U. S. Forester W. B.
ureeiey lO ue uie must lmpuriaiu
step yet taken by the Forest Service
looking toward the development of
Alaskan forests and utilization of
its potential water power resources.
This was the statement made re
cently to a representative of the Ju
neau Empire by District Forester
C. H. Flory.
He has just returned from a con- ^
ference of U. S. District Foresters -
with Col. Greeley and other Wash
ington officials, held last month in
Denver, Colo. The investigation,
he added, is the realization of a
long-held and talked of desire and
has been the subject of much dis
cussion during the past year on the
part of officials of the Alaska dis
trct.
“While we knew that the oppor- ■
tunities for development of the
pulp and paper manufacturing in
dustry are practically unparalled
through almost ideal local, natural
conditions, we have realized for
sometime tnat we iacaea a great i
deal of definite information con- j
nected with financial, economic and J
other phases of the industry which '
was necessary before we could suc
cessfully present those opportunities
to those already interested in the
industry itself,” Mr. ‘Flory said. Col.
Greeley readily agreed with them,
he added, and approved the proposi
tion enthusiastically, lending his as
sistance in securing the allotment
of necessary funds to finance Mr.
Heintzelman’s trip and work.
Briefly, Mr. Flory said, this in
vestigation will include a close
study of the manufacturing and
marketing conditions, study of pres
ent and possible future Canadian
forest policies, getting in touch with
certain groups of capital interested
in pulp and paper making. The
task is expected to consume not
less than six months.
“If the results of Mr. Heintzel
man’s work are favorable we hope
it wilf lead to putting on a sales
representative permanently, mi.
Flory said.
The Denver conference, which is
an annual occurrence, Mr. Flory said,
was the most inspirational he had
ever attended. Forestry policies
wrere reviewed and general admin
istrative details discussed between
•the District Foresters and. their
chief.
After leaving Denver Mr. Flory
went to San Francisco where he
talked with officials of the Zeller
bach Co., regarding possible exten
sion by them of their interests to
Alaska. He was encouraged by his
reception and Mr. Heintzelman will
confer with them when he goes
south next month. He also saw F.
C. Dougherty, San Francisco (broker
who has been attempting to promote
a pulp and paper manufacturing
project at Thomas Bay for about
two years. The latter was optimistic
over the outlook and apparently
was confident of actual development
beginning next year. From San
Francisco, Mr. Flory went to Port
land for a conference with officials
of the Oregon-Washington district
and visited friends while in the
city. He joined Mrs. Flory there
and returned home with her.
Julien Hurley, district U. S. attor
ney of .the Fourth division, is a north
bound passenger on 'the steamer Vic
toria which left Seattle last Satur
day for Seward. Mr. Hurley passed
thru Seward last month en route to
San Francisco in connection with
legal matters.
