WILL CLAYSON Incfammift Well Folks USiCiillilllL • Listen a Minute A negro was trying to saddle a mule, when a bystander asked: “Does that mule every kick you?" “No, suh, but sometimes he kicks whar Ise jes' been."

W. McCord, agent for the locators, who has been in Juneau for several days on business in con nection with the filing of applications for oil leasing permits. Mr. McCord, who is an old time Alaskan of the Tolovana, that has produced on an average of a million a year since dis covery, said that the Westward Devel opment Company, an Oregon corpor ation, formed December 18, last, is to actively push drilling as soon as machinery and supplies can be landed in the field. The company is a closed corpora tion and not a stock selling proposi tion. according to Mr. McCord. Mr. McCord stated that although permits have as yet been issued to none of the locators, no trouble is anticipated in that respect and pre-j parations are being made to begin! actual drilling next season. Fifteen j out of 22 claims represented, are reported by the U. S. land office en-| tirely free from conflict and while there are some apparent conflicts on the other seven claims, in reality there are none. “In fact,” declared Mr. McCord, "all the men in the west field of the Cold bay district are working in harmony and any seeming conflicts j will be amicably straightened out j among the locators without difficulty. All of them are anxious to get per mits and begin prospecting and there will be no trouble over conflicting claims.” “The outlook in the field, from the surface of course, is promising. Four of the biggest seepages in Alaska are located there. One can wade in oil above his boot tops. Gas seepages also exist. The oil is high grade and i of a parafine base and where evapor ation has taken place deposits of par-j afine substance lie on the surface of j the land to a depth in some Instances of four feet. This makes fine fuel for which it will be used in drilling operations. The geological structure is not folded to the extent that is no ticeable in other Alaska oil districts and this with the excellent surface in dications leads to the belief that oil pools will be found to exist all along the peninsula. Actual tests have shown the oil to have about three times the value of California oil.” Mr. McCord stated that the machin ery and supplies would be taken into the field next spring by Capt. Peter K. Larson, superintendent of the Nak ard Oil Land & Leasing Company of cisco. Tt will be shipped by the way of Bering sea into Bristol bay up the Egakuk river and into Becharof lake, in the shores of which a number of claims are located. Capt. Larson is interested in the locations. Others in terested in the claims include Jerry Ford, prominent gold mining operator of Iditarod. L. C. Early of the Stand ard Ool Land & Leasing Company of Electra, Tex., Wjallace Cathcart, form erly vice president of the Farmers Bank of Fairbanks and owner of min ing ground in the interior. Gus Peterson, of Fairbanks, also has a lease in the field. He is one of the most prominent mining men of Alaska, owning vast tracks of placer mining ground in the Fairbanks and Livengood districts. He is an experi enced drill man and is now drilling on a 2,000 acre ranch he owns in Benton County, Wash. He has been asked to take charge of the drilling operations in the field next spring, according to Mr. McCord. Mr. McCord commended in warmest terms the methods of the local land office in handling applications for oil leasing permits. “All of us who have submitted applications to the Juneau land office have found Register F. A. Boyle willing to meet us more than half way in every respect,” he said, “and he has handled all of them without, delay. It is a pleasure to en counter and do business with an of ficial of this type.” SWIFT PATROL CRAFT TO COMBAT SMUGGLING SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19 (by As sociated Press).—Patrol craft, armed with five-inch guns, and capable of speeding sixteen knots, are being built here for the coast guard for duty in running down liquor smugglers, gun-runners, opium-trafficers, and other contraband agents on the Pa cific coast.
