IMPORTANT OIL FIELD
 FOUND IN DERBYSHIRE

LONDON, March l (by malD.- Se- crecy surrounds the operations of the drillers who have discovered oil in Derbyshire. There seems to be no doubt, however, that oil in consider able quantities has been found, and the drillers believe they are about to open up an important field. One well has been completed on the estate of the Duke of Devonshire, and other wells are. being drilled as rapidly as possible Other wells, it was an- nounced here recently, are to be drilled in Staffordshire and Noting hamshire.
 A correspondent of the Leeds Mer- cury declared that he had been in formed by leading British geologists that they believed more oil would be found in England than had come from the wells of Western Pennsylvania.
 Dependent as England has been for fuel upon it's coal fields and the vagar- les of its miners, which more than once have threatened to precipitate an industrial crisis, the discovery of oil has excited more than usual interest.

 of Alaska Fourth Regular Session,
 through his Excellency, Thomas
 Riggs Jr., Governor of Alaska. "Gentlemen:
 ''In line with the recommendations made by the governor of Alaska ln his last regular message to the effect that additional trade licenses be i'm posed as a means of raising additional revenue, permit me to suggest the ad- visibility of imposing license tax on the business of operating a railroad.
 "Section g of the Organic act or Alaska contains the following pro- vision:
 "'Provided, that the congress re- serves the exclusive power for hve years from the date of the approval of this act to fix and impose any tax or taxes upon railways or railway property in Alaska
 "The Organic act was approved August 24th, 1912. The period of res ervation by congress of the exclusive mower to tax railroads therefore ex- pired on August 24th, 1917. The form CT federal law, act of June 9th, l9oo, (Compiled Laws of Alaska, Section 2569), imposing a tax upon the busl- ness of operating railroads of $1Oo per mile per annum on each mile oper- ated. I suggest this as a basis for measuring the amount of tax About $19, 900 a year could be realized from the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad Company alone by the impe- sition of such tax computed even at the rate of $1O0 per mile of road oper- lated.
 Respectfully,
 GEORGE B. GRIGSBY,
