NOME IS TAKING INTEREST
 IN DEVELOPMENT OF OIL

Widespread interest is being mar ifested in the oil development ros- sibi ties of the Seward peninsula region, says a recent issue of the Nome Nugget, and it is expected the present season will witness much stalking of purported oil lands, both within the peninsula proper and in the region farther north.
 From reliable sources, says the Nugget, it is learned that consider able number of local people are con- templating stalking claims in the Serpentine river region, where it is claimed there are widespread indica- tions of oil possibilities. Another prospective oil region is supposed to be located in the region north east of Port Clarence, within a shotr distance of the coast.
 Another likely locality is said to lie in the vicinity of Shismareff. So far as can be ascertained, no defn- ite evidences of oil have been found in any of the regions indicated. In the case of one of them, an oily looking scum found on the surface of ponds and streams is said to be the basis on which rests the theory that the region contains oil In an other, the peculiar fact that no mo- squitos are found over a large area although swarming in great num- bers without the district, provides the oil suggestion.
 It is currently reported that sever al representatives of the Standard Oil Company are Investigating the extensive oil field known to exist in the region of Point Barrow. This field is said to be attracting con- siderable attention Outside and has already been investigated to some extent by Outside interests which sent a prospector into the region last year. The agent is said to have secured several gallons of the much prized liquid, which was taken out by way of the Koyukuk and Fair banks.

BURNED OUT BY RYDER FIRE,
 FRED STANLEY BACK TO STAY

Richer in experience but poorer in purse than when he left Nenana nearly a year ago, Fred Stanley returned to town from the Alaska coast yesterday, and says he Is ready to make this his permanent home. He has seen enough of the Outside and other sections of Alaska during his absence to convince him that Nenana is about as good as any town going, and better than most of them.
 Mir. Stanley spent some time in the States, after leaving Nenana, but was glad to get back to Alaska, where conditions are much more nor nal than they are Outside.
 Arriving at Hyder. Mr.Stanley in- vested in building, in partnership with Nick Bieler, another oldtimer of the Interior, leaased the place and then work at his trade. He was getting along nicely until the latter part of July, when his property and personal belongings went up in smoke, in the most serious fire re corded in the brief history of Hyder And had the fire occurred half an hour later, he thinks it probable that he would have had difficulty getting away with his life, for he was on his way to his room when the fire started.
 On the way up the coast MT. Stanley stopped at Ketchikan, Jun eau, Cordoya and Seward, and found those towns very quiet, owing to the slump in fisheries and mining. He found things more lively at An chorage, but more business places than seemed warranted.
 Mir Stanley returned to Nenana to resume his old position as chef at the Tavern Cafe.
 The Hsder Miner. of July 27, contains the following. account of the fire above referred to:
 One man dead, half dozen in jured-two seriously-four buildings destroyed and property loss approxi- mately s12.o00, is the toll by fire which, starting in the Hotel Beach about two o'clock last Saturday morning, spread with such rapidity that for time it appeared as if only miracle could save the en- <ire built-up portion of the tide flats. ..:..
 The fire was caused by the ex- plosion of a kerosene lamp in room 10 opposite the head of the stair way in the center of the hotel, Fred Card, who lost his life, was sleeping in a front room of the building and apparently did not awaken, the flames and smoke racing down the hallway and overpowering him in bed. The pitiful remnants of his body was found in the ashes as soon as the fire was extinguished, was under the bed springs. which had turned over as they fell from the top floor to the ground. The head and limbs were burned away and the portnon of the trunk remaining was less than one foot in diameter.
 There were eleven rooms in the hotel and all were occupied. Most of the occupants lost what belong ings they had with them, some ot them making their escape without g stitch of clothing, Mrs. Helen Est mere, who conducted the hotel, and Lance Crane, who occupied a lower front room and was reading, both succeeded in reaching the top of the

stairs with water but could do nothing toward subduing the blaze, and had pust time to get down and out of the building.
 Meanwhile the alarm had been sounded and in very few minutes many willing workers were helping to remove the contents of other buildings in the vicinity. The Arctic Cigar Store, adjoining the hotel, was quickly ablaze, but most of the stock, fixtures and decorations were taken out. The personal belongings on the second floor. however, were total loss. The law office and liv- ing quarters of C. H. Sundmacher and the home and carpenter shop of Max Priebe had no possible chance, so the former was dynamited.
 The three-story Alaskan hotel, the next building to the west, was saved by the power pump and hose which Scotty Patterson brought into action as soon as the fire started. By sav- ing the Alaskan the whole north erly and westerly part of the piled area was undoubtedly prevented from being wiped out.
 The most heroic battle with the devouring element, however, occurr- ed at the Miners Hotel, where aa bucket brigade lined up and refused to give ground, though the building was ablaze time after time. Ladders were placed on the roof from the side opposite the fire, and water was kept on it's way up as fast as buckets could be passed One of the ladders, on which Sam Potts, Felix Seppi and Holger Johnson were at work, tore loose from the peak, and with the three men, fell to the tide flats, distance of 70 feet or mora. How the men escaped mortal injury. no one has yet succeeded in figuring out. Potts was severely bruised about the side and chest, but no bones were broken. Johnson suffered a ] severely sprained ankle and Seppi was cut across the temple and had a shoulder injured, but kept right on working.
 Considerable damage was done to windows by the dynamite explosions, the Alaskan Hotel being the heaviest loser in this respect, practically all Iof the glass in the building being broken.
 John Lindsey, owner of the Hotel Beach, suffered the heaviest fire loss, being set back about s7,5o0 Other losses approximately were Nick Bieler and Fred Stanley. Arctic Cigar Store and personal belongings, i S2,000; C. H. Sundmacher, $500; Max Priebe, $500; Mrs. Estmere, s4oo; Alaskan Hotel, S25O. There was no insurance. Judge Sundmacher lost the oldest license to practice law in the territory of Alaska, which he had tackled to his office wall. One roomer at the Beach lost a S250 roll of bills.
 i The Stewart fire department made quick run over the two-mile road between the two towns, bringing ladders and buckets, and practically the entire citizenry of Stewart came over and assisted materially in fight ing the fire.
