 Must Settle Conflicts.
 Each permit issued contains a clause which provides that all con fiicts arising on claims located by different parties must be satisfactor fly settled and affidavit to that effect made within a period of six months This does not necessarily mean, stated MT Boyle, that thel surveyed, only that the disputes must be settled amicably within the time allowed and satisfactory proof to that effect submitted.
 May Group Claims.
 In a recent letter written by Sec 1 retary Fall, of the Department of 'hSNAAois thN SioupihS OI tIdllil Ol individuals or corporations to aid in development of non-producing regions was authorized In this con nection it is stated that five claims in any one geologic structure may be assigned to qualified indi- vidual, corporation or association" outside of producing oil or gas fields l in Alaska, whether contiguous or noncontiguous subject to the ap- proval of the Secretary of the In terior. Tt would be a mistake to conclude from this that anyone, it be an individual or cor can locate and obtain per mits for five claims in one geologic | said MT. Boyle. The | Secretary's letter calls particular at tention to the limitations of the law in this repest but points out, how ever, that five claims may be To- cated within the Territory by any individual or corporation as long as not more than a single claim is on any particular structure"
