IS PUGET SOUND
OIL TERRITORY?

Chronicle: The discovery of petrol
cum on the Olympic peninsula, be-
tween Puget Sound and the ocean,
would be the signal for a great rush
of prospectors to that territory. That
oil and gas exist in that locality is
believed by men who are putting out
money to back their belief The Le-
land Valley Oil and Gas Company has
begun drilling for oil in Leland Val
ley, about sixteen miles from Port
Townsend, and close to a hole that
was drilled twenty years ago. Gas
was discovered in this hole and was
used to light and heat the home of
William Andrews. The new company
proposes to make a thorough exploita-
ton of the ground and will sink the
well to a great depth in quest of oil.
II is taking chance, but should the
venture prove successful it will be
worth millions to the discoveries.
William Price and o. Stromberg OF
Seattle, and DR.. Crutcher of Los An
seles, members of the Northwestern
Oil Producing Company, are dickering
for leases on large tracts on the
Olympic peninsula, the lease-holding
to be perpetual if gas, oil or coal is
developed, the owners to receive a
stated royalty Other companies are
obtaining leases on land closer to the
ocean on the western side of the
Olympic mountains, where oil seep-
ages haYe been found. The samples
are of high gravity and have par
affine base, it is said.
