PROSPECTS
ARE GOOD
OriIlers at Work In Many
Sections Of Alaska,
Says U. S. Man

on rigs win be drilling many sec
tions of southern and southeastern
Alaska with bright prospects OF
producing. said Col Alfred H.
Brooks, geoiosist In charge OF the
Alaska division OF the Y. :. seoiogi
cal survey, upon hts arrival here to-
day from a four months investga-
ticn In many sections OF the terri
tory.
He said the oil produced and re.
fined IN the katalia field. cast OF
Cordova. Is of higher grade than
any oil In the United states. ana
said that seepsges In other sections
indicate widespread deposits. lie
warned against wiidcattcrs, how
ever. and said the oil development
In Alaska was still In Its primary
stagc ard uncertain.
The granting of the first permit
last week TO prospect and drill for
oil will undoubtedly be followed
by others before driiiers are ready
In the spring. said Colonel Brooks.
He pointed out that there has been
no development during the last ten
years due TO the withdrawal act.
but that the new oil leasing bill
Win make Alaskan fields hum with
activity when the winter Is over. IL
has been known that there are large
oil deposits In the territory since
1900. he said. and his investigation
ccnvinces him. said Colonel Brooks.
that most OF the fields where secp-
ages have been discovered. are ac
ccssible to water transportation and
can be worked practically the year
round a. the known seepages are
not subject to the most rigorous
climatic conditions.
Gold production In Alaska will
show . material falling off for this
year. due to placer and shaft miners
giving up the work because OF high
prices OF material and many OF
them are hunting for silver lodes.
He reported new activity In the
Bering river coal fields and said an
effort - being made 20 block out
deposits there. aitho the veins are
irregular.

We have several good preach
ers that are idle that would make
good pastors il they were given a
chance. Every church large OF
small should have a pastor, and
carry out the great commission Of
Jesus. Ye should be doors of his
word and not hearers only. Heed
this message and herald it TO the
lost and beuighted world.
Every church door in Southern
Illinois should be thrown open at
least twice every Sunday that the
gospel might be preached to every
creature. Let none hear you idly
saying there is nothing you can
do while the souls OF men are dy-
ing all around you without any
hope for the future life and happi-
ness.
