INTEREST IN O|L
 IN ALASKA SHOWS
 STEADY INCREASE

From Kootsnahoo inlet to the foothills of Mount Peulik and the shores of Lakes Becharoff and Uga- shik there is scattered a hungry tribe of seekers after the hidden wealth of oil-bearing sands number ing into the hundreds, and to whose ranks are being added daily more and still more men bent on the same mission.
 As the pioneers of '9S and earlier days braced unknown rivers, crossed swamps, struggled through nigger- heads, battled with hostile nature in myriad forms, explored and opened unmapped country for the sake of
 the precious yellow sands of the creeks and valleys of the big In. terior placer fields, another bree! is today penetrating little-knowr
 places after the thick, greasy fluid
 known as crude oil, which may be processed into many products, but all of which, like the glittering yell
 low magnet of earlier days, mean magic riches.
 350,O00 Acres Located On.
 The oil stampede is on, in its in-
 fancy if you wish, but nevertheless
 it is definitely started, and hun dreds, in fact thousands, have their attention riveted on every section that is being prospected. The first strike, be it is ever so small, which shows promise, will see the big stampede movement which the North knows so well from its repetitions following gold discoveries.
 Only few short months have elapsed since the oil leasing regu-
 lations in Alaska were arranged so
 that prospecting and leasing of oil lands could be accomplished. In that short time, according to figures just issued by the U s. land office, a total of approximately 162,OOo acres of oil land have been covered
 by applications for permits. More
 than that amount has been located by prospectors who have not yet filed for permits. It is almost a certainty that 35O,OOO acres of Alas kan oil land in several different fields now have location monuments erected on them, and the end is not in sight. Hardly a boat from the South but that carries on it passengers bound for fields already entered.
 Cold Bay in Lead.
 In the number of applications filed for permits, the Cold Bay dis trict leads all others and has more than twice as many as it nearest
 competitor. Twenty-eight applica- tions have already been filed there
 and the land office has unofficial information that many more claims have been located and will be GOV
 cred by applications as soon as pos sible.
 At least one drilling outfit is known to be enroute to Cold bay fields, owned by Capt. J. J. Finne- Ig gan and associates, and will start operations in a short time. This
 outfit left Seattle several weeks ago on the steamer Catherine D. and the boat is believed to have landed it within a few miles of the scene of drilling. Expert drillers from Texas fields form the crew and work will be pushed to the utmost.
 Where Claims Are Located. In a statement issued by the Juneau land office the following list
