a news article which appeared in
an Anchorage newspaper on Nov.
13. The article stated that the
Interior Department had rejected
1»'8 applications for leases in the
Moose Range and had closed the
area permanently for oil oper
ations.
Dave L. Spencer, wild life re
fuge supervisor for all refuges
in Alaska, said that the northern
half of the Range which includes
generally flat land is still open
and that the closed area includes
approximately half of the Range
and is the portion located in the
mountainous terrain.
The classification order, dated
on July 24, 1958 and signed by
Fred A. Seaton, then Secretary
of the Interior, closed the por
tion upon which the recently re
jected lease applications were
filed, covering some 400,000
acres.
Many of the applications had
been filed as far back as 1954
and only recently were turned
down in a decision made by John
Carver, assistant secretary of the
Interior. This area is south of the
Sterling Highway and is around
Skilak and Tustumena Lakes.
Geologists believe it to show
much promise for oil develop
ment.
Spencer says the entire Moose
Range includes approximately 1,
800,000 acres, a large portion of
which is covered by water and
ice, even in summer. Some 200,
000 acres of the great Harding
ice field is included in this por
tion.
The Moose Range north of the
Sterling Highway, east of the
mountains and a portion south of
the highway is still open.
