John E. Barrett. pioneer and pres ident of the Mccarthy Commercial Club. has had interviews with several Texas oil operators. who contemplate going into the fields in Alaska now available by the oil leasing act He says there are indications of big oil field in the district of Icy Bay. Alaskans have located the best known oil lands (showing seepage) as soon as the bill was passed, and there is fine opportunity for men with capital to go into the enterprise in the territory. Mir. Barrett says the oil fields extend for several hundred miles along the coast in some cases practically at tide water. from Katalla. through the Illi- amma district to Coal Bay. including Yakataga beach, where oil was frs. discovered.
 According to Mir. Barrett one of the most remarkable discoveries ever made in Alaska is that of a pondorndry lake of practically solid parafiine. The In- dians have been digging paraffine and using it for winter fuel. A branch railroad has been projected into the Katalla oil field, starting from the Cop per River and Northwestern Road thirty-nine miles form Cordova Mir. Barrett says Cordova presents the ap- pearance of city in the throes O. an oil boom. Hotels are crowded and many are living under canvass. Cor dcva has nine salmon canneries. three clam canneries, and eight fox farms where blue and in one instance silver gray foxes are bred as 6 commercial pro feet for their belts.
