MANY PERMITS BEING ISSUED
 OIL LEASERS

l JUNEAU, May "A total of 29 oil i leasing and prospecting permits is- sued to as many persons for claims l have been received at the Juneau G. $. land uffice for issuance to the ap- piicants, according to Register Frank A. Boyle. The total acreage in volved in these permits is 69,3S0 acres.
 Out of the total received for issu ance, IF permits for 2,560 acres each and two for 16n acres each involving 1 43,S40 acres have been mailed out by | MT. Boyle to the applicants as their 1 bonds had been satisfactorily ar ranged. There are still being held on hand nine permits for 2,5G0 acres each and one for 160 acres for which 1 bond has not been made NotifiCa 1 tion of their status had been mailed all applicants to whom permits have teen granted. and wh!ch are held
 in the local office. The department of interior, according to Mir Boyle, is granting all applications for which application is made and is leaving the matter of issuance in the hands of the local land office which is being done promptly as soon as the regula- tions have been complied with.
 Each permit issued contains clause which provides that all con- flicts arising on claims located by different parties must be 9atis&ac- torily settled and affidavit to that eff feet made within a period Of six months. This does not necessarily mean, stated Mir. Boyle, that the claimants must have their claims surveyed, only that the disputes must be settled amicably within the time allowed and satisfactory proof to that effect submitted.
 In a recent letter written by Sec retary Fall, of the department of in- terior, the grouping of claims of in dividuals or corporations to aid in de- velOpment of non-producing regions was authorized. In this connection
 it is stated that five claims in any one geologic structure may be "as-
 signed to a qualified individual cor pOration or association" outside of
 producing oil or gas fields in Alaska
 whether contiguous or non-contiguous
 subject to the approval of the secre-
 tary of the interior It would be a
 mistake to conclude from this that
 anyone, whether it be an individual or
 corporation can locate and obtain
 permits for five claims in one geo.
 logic structure" said MT. Boyle. The
 secretary's letter calls particular at
 tentiOn to the limitations of the law
 in this respect but points out, how
 ever, that five claims may be locat.
 ed within the territory by any in, diVidual or corporation as long as not more than single claim is on any
 particular structure" l. The permits granted by the de - partment of interior and issued by = A'AA. OOy iC "Illitl llc ldSl LCW udyS l were for Andrew L. Heinrich, Seattle !, Henry J. LockoW, Seattle, s. J. Der l. gen Morton, Wash, George T. How
