Several Men from Outside Are Investigating the Conditions in Alas
 ka at Present.
MANY OIL INDICATIONS
They Are Found All Way from Yakutat Along the Coast to the
 Arctic

Juneau people interested in oil de- velopment in Alaska believe that the modification of the law in favor of those anxious to develop the oil fields will witness considerable activ- ity in the near future. Recently several men from the Outside repre- senting capital interested in oil fields have passed through Juneau to in vestigate the conditions to the West ward
 It is no secret to Alaskans that oil indications may be found from Yakutat to the Arctic Ocean. There are many places, notably the ka- talla district, where oil seepage GOV CTS lakes and flows down streams to the sea.
 In the early days a company known as the English Company be- gan development work near Katalla md built large buildings and expend- ed much preliminary capital, but be, fore it began actual drilling, the with drawal order of oil lands was made, and the company was forced to aban- don it's enterprise. Since then company of Alaskans dug a catch basin at a point where the oil seep- age was the most pronounced and secured oil from which they manu- factured gasoline of a higher per centage than any in the Alaska mar tet, and shipped it to nearby towns. Owing to the crude methods for extraction, and the inadequate boat service, the company did not seem to make any considerable money, and finally the property passed into the hands of Falcon Joslyn. George C. Hazelett and associates who recent y secured the old English company property. It is understood that they intend to develop on large scale.
 Another company, of which Henry R. Hartman, a San Francisco attor ley, who has long been identified with Alaska projects, is the moving spirit, and in which Walter Johnson head of the Union Construction Con- )any, builders of dredges and inter- ested in Alaska gold mining, is heavy stockholder, has extensive Xatalla holdings which it proposes to begin developing this year. MT Hartman, who is now in Wasbirg ton. expects to come to Alaska this ear, and will arrive here in Au- gust.
 Thus far there has been no sys- 'ematic development in Alaska, and many believe that when this is done hat valuable oil fields will be added Q the other industrial resources of Alaska.
