MJSM OIL UNO
nounees the publication of a
report on the tract of more
than 35.000 square miles in nor
thern Alaska which had been
.so i. aside by executive order as
a naval petroleum reserve. The I
main objects of the work un-j
clertalien • in this area were to
determine where the oil occurr
ed. the conditions under which!
it mil*th be found and the fac
tors involved in its develop
ment.
Minerals of value have long
bt en known to occur in north
western Alaska. Coal was found
in the vicinity of Corwin, in the
western part of the region, as
early as 1881 and has been used
since that time by some of the
old whaling ships and others.
In the rush to interior Alaska
That commenced in the late
90's some of the gold seekers
overran or settled in the placer
fields of the more accessible
parts of the region also, and the
more adventurous even pushed
their way across the mountain
barrier and sought metals of
value in the northernmost parts
of the region.
In the course of the placer
mining ventures in the more
southern parts of the region
the prospectors discovered lodes
of gold, copper, lead and other
minerals. Later came reports
of petroleum, and the occurr
ence of petroleum in the north
ern part of the area has now

Each of these mineral com
modities is described, so far as
facts available permit, so that
the report not only serves to
point out the specific places
where certain minerals have
been* found, but is of perhaps
greater use in suggesting areas
in which further search or pros
pecting is most likely to be
rewarded by success or in pre
senting facts that should serve
as a deterrent against going in
to areas that seem to hold lit
tle promise of containing any
thing in mineral deposits of the .
kind sought.

'Let the Buyer Beivare’ has
given way to the moderr
slogan of confidence 'Buy in
Safety% and this miracle was
ivrought by the honesty of
manufacture ivhich charac
terizes every fine American
product. A notable example of
the modern manufacturers’
constant desire to give the
public the best is your use of

LUCKY STRIKE—the finest cigarette you
ever smoked, made of the finest tobaccos
—the Cream of the Crop—THEN—"IT’S
TOASTED." Everyone knows that heat puri
fies and so TOASTING removes harmful
irritants that cause throat irritation and
coughing. No wonder 20,679 physicians
have stated LUCKIES to be less irritating!
Everyone knows that sunshine mellows
—that’s why TOASTING includes the use
of the Ultra Violet Ray.
“It’s toasted”
Your Throat Protection — against irritation — against cough
Consistent with its policy of laying the facts before the public, The American Tobacco Company invited Mr. Irvin S.
Cobb to personally witness and to review the reports of the distinguished men who have witnessed LUCKY STRIKE’S
famous Toasting Process and report his findings. The statement of Mr. Cobb appears on this page.
