GREAT ACTIVITY
 IN kATALLA OIL FIELD FORECAST
Many Patents and Leases Are Applied for at Local
 U. 5. Land Office.

Increased activity in the katalld oil district for the coming season was indicated yesterday when in the local U. S. Land Office the Chilkat Oil Company filed appiica- tions for three oil leasing permits and three patents; the Alaska Con soldated Oil Fields filed for pat ents on six claims; the Alaska Pc troleum and Coal Company filed for one leasing and prospecting permit; o. l.. Willoughby and James A. Hagan of Seattle each filed fer leasing and prospecting permit. A total of 6,560 acres is covered by ti' applications.
 The Alaska Consolidated Oil Fields, managing director B. L. Thane, has many prominent men on the Pacific Coast as stockholders, including for mer Judge Frederick Bausman ol Seattle. former Gov Gillette of Cal ifornia, the Johnsons of the Union Construction Company of Oakland, Cal. and several others rated ao wealthy business men with ample capital to finance extensive opera tions. That company has already made application for a number oi oil leasing and prospecting permits in both the Katalla and fakata6d fields. H. l.. Faulkner, attorney for the company, yesterday filed appli- cations for patents on five kataila claims containing 1760 acres.
 To increase rnelr holdings in the Katalla fields, Falcon Joslin and as sociates of the Chilkat Oil Company have asked for patents on two claim' containing 320 acres each and for leases on three claims, one contain ing 96O acres and two for 500 acres each. One of the claims for which a elase is sought surrounds the pat ented claim on which the company now has several wells producing oil from which its refinery is operated The other claim lies near the pat ented claim and to the east of 1t.
 The Chilkat Company had drill at work last summer making further explorations on its holdings, one wei being driven through the shale anG to a depth of 1900 feet. This well it is understood. did not meet the expectations of the company and the results of the test is said to have decided Mr. Josln and his associ ates to confine their drilling 10 shal low wells which can be put down at comparatively small cost

The actual transactions which have
taken place in the copper market, and
inquiries that are being made are said
20 be not so much to take care of pres
ent consumptive demands as to safe
guard against a possible sharp au-
vance in prices. In other words, there
Is tendency on the part of many
copper consumers to accept present
quotations as marking the low point
for the year, and to take on supplies
before the expected fall demand ap-
pears in the copper market.
Copper sellers only want to take on
small business, anu, according to a
representative of one of the larger
concerns, a buyer, who now ente-r
the market for a quarter of million
pounds of copper, will be told TO go
somewhere else for his requirements
because no one house desires to take
on individual business on such a large
scale. They will, however, consider
business offered in smaller volume,
seemingly DESTROYS of stimulating n
broadening demand, rather than cater
ing to big business coming from a
smaller number of buyers. - Boston

Shattuck Announces
Discovery OF Great
Body OF Copper Ore

information concerning "a new and

the report of the company for the
quarter ending June go The report
follows in part:
"A new and important discovery
of copper ore was made and is now
being developed on the 600-foot level
near the boundary of the Roy and
Leo Mining claims in the northeast
end of the property. The ground I'M

body of copper bearing iron gossan,
we are assured of a good tonnage of
commercial copper ore in this section
of the mine. Ore indicated during
the first quarter of the year in No.

cut, and to date we have opened up
an ore shoot for length of S5 feet.
The average contents of No. SO cross
cut is more than 20 per cent copper
and 20 ounces of silver per ton. The
new ore is mixture of copper car

PERIOD OF II CENT COPPER is
OVER, BETTER PRICES FROM NOW
ON, SAYS BOSTON FINANCIAL NEWS

The outstanding feature of the cop
per market the past week was not so
much the volume of business actually
transacted, as the great number of in
quiries. This change of attitude on
the part of consumers, has resulted
in sellers becoming far more indie
pendent.
The position of the seller is now
well illustrated by the fact that many
of them have retired from the mar
ket Quotations were advanced dur
ing the latter part of the week from
IL 1-Sc to 12Ac for nearby metal.
The period of 12c copper has pass
ed. according to trade authorities,
and, from now on, better prices for
the metal are expected. Even at the
new quotations the larger copper sell
ers are not anxious to do much bust
ness, for they believe prices are too
low and eventually will move highc,

filed in FL Paso on "Wednesday last.

that he himself knew nothing about

Highway About Completed

DOUGLAS Road Engineer G.. NJ
Lukesh, is in the city today and re-
ports that the matter of settlement
of the right-of-way of the new link
of the Bankhead highway. recently
completed to the New Mexico line has
been arranged for and that the coun-
ty will pay the land owners so that
the road may be opened during the
next few days from Apache to the
New Mexico line. about Is miles. The
total of the right-of-way claims
amount to $3215, divided among Is
claimants in varying amounts from
$21 to 1864. County Engineer Sid
Smythe came here today with author
ity to pay the money due the land
owners for the right-of-way.
Those who have travelled that part
of the new highway between Bernar-
dino and Apache are making much
complaint about the dangerous con-
dition of many of the dips built where
the road is cut by Washes. S. F.. Me-
guire SAYS that few days ago he was
coming from his ranch in the Chira-
cahnas and ran into dip which had
previously crossed on a solid bottom

Engineer Lukesh said TODAY that
authority had been received from the
state engineer to widen these dips

right. However. there is a sentiment
that nothing but cement bottom will
make the dips entirely safe as they
ought to be.
