OIL SCOUT IS
 INVESTIGATING
 KATALLAFIELD

Big oil interests propose to investi- gate the oil-bearing lands of Alaska. A scout for one of the biggest oil producing concerns in the country took passage on the Admiral Watson, en route to take a look at the possibili- ties in the Katalla Yakataga, Iliamna and Cold Bay fields. He will make report on these respective fields, and upon his report much will depend. His preliminary investigation, if satisfac- tory, will mean that experienced oil engineers will be sent to the northern oil fields, and if their reports are en- doing.
 The modestly-dressed, unassuming Admiral Watson just before her de- parture for Alaska rather belied the fact that he was an accredited repre- sentative of great corpora tion, and that upon his preliminary report of the Alaska oil fields so much depended. The oil scout is no stranger in Alaska He made comfortable stake in the early days of Nome, and then went Outside for several years, when he re- turned to the Northland to accumu- late another financial nest egg. He prospected about the Nelchina coun- try and the Cook inlet district for the past four years, with no particular success, save that he became connect ed, through a deal being put through by Professor Herschel Parker, with big oil interests in New York city. He was summoned to New York city by the financial magnates backing Professor Parker, and seemed to make a hit with them. They sent him on an oil-scouting trip to Texas. He leased large areas of oil-bearing lands and the first well started proved to

 He is not an oil engineer in the strict sense of the word. He is prospector, keen observer, and has a whole lot of good, common sense, and he is entirely dependable. These are the characteristics that impressed the oil magnates when they employed him-Seattle Alaska Dispatch.
