 Years Without Royalty SOME OF LAND IS FREE New Regulations Provide that Oil Claimants May Have
 Free Use of One-Quarter

WASHINGTON, April 14.-To en- courage gas and oil prospecting in Alaska, Secretary of the Interior John Barton Payne has issued new regulations for the Territory that are more liberal than those apply ing to the States.

After the first five years a five per cent royalty will be levied, and after ten years the tax will be ten per cent. As further concession to Alaskan lessees, they are to be allowed to use a quarter of the area leased from the Government royalty free, regardless of the quan- tity of oil produced.
