used in drilling operations. The geo. logical structure is not folded to the extent that is noticeable in other AL aska oil districts and this with the excellent surface indications leads to the belief that oil pools will be found to exist all along the peninsula. Act ual tests have shown the oil to have about three times the value of Cali fornia oil"

 MT. McCord stated that the machin- cry and supplies would be taken into the field next Spring by Capt. Peter K. Larson, Superintendent of the Ma knek Packing Company, of San Fran cisco. It will be shipped by the way of Bering Sea into Bristol Bay up the Egakuk River and into Becharof Lake, on the shores of which a num- Der of claims are located. Capt. Lar son is interested in the locations as is Guy V. Graham, cannery super,n- tendent of Libby, McNeil and Libby, with whom arrangements have been made for the use of the machine shop located near the field. Others inter ested in the claims include Jerry Ford, prominent gold mine operator of 1dit- aod; L. c. Ealy, of the Standard Oil Land and Leasing Company of Flee tra, Texas; Wallace Cathcart, former ly vice president of the Farmers Bank of Fairbanks and owner of min ing ground in the Interior.
 Gus Peterson, of Fairbanks. also has a lease in the field. He is one or the most prominent mining men of Alaska, owning vast tracks of placer mining ground in the Fairbanks and Livengood districts. He also is 9 ms- iority stockholder of the Healy River Coal Corporation, which has govern ment lease on coal land in the Nenana coal fields and is supplying the AL aska Engineering Commission and Ne mana and Fairbanks with coal at the present time. MT. Peterson is an ex- perienced drill man and is now drill ing a 2,O0O acre ranch he owns in Benton County, Wash. He has been asked to take charge of the drilling operations in the field next Spring, according to MT. McCoord
 MT. McCord commended in warmest terms the methods of the local land office, in handling applications for oil leasing permits. "All of us who havc submitted applications to the Juneau Land Office have found Register F. A. Boyle willing to meet us more than half way in every respect" he said, land he has handled all of them with out delay. It is a pleasure to en- counter and do business with an of- ficial of this type"
 MT. McCord will go to Washington where he will endeavor to facilitate the issuance of permits.

We publish below an interview with J. w. McCord, who has just purchased a 126-foot steam trawler for passen- ger and freight carrying trade be- tween Seward, Cold Bay and Dutch Harbor, taken from the Juneau Elm pire of several weeks ago and of es- special interest on account of these later developments in the plan to open up the Cold Bay Oil Fields.
 That abundant capital has already been secured for the development of a group of oil claims in the west field of the Cold Bay district was stated by J. w. McCord, agent for the locators who has been in Juneau for several days past on business in con- nection with the filing of applications for oil leasing permits. Mr. McCord who is an oFd-time Alaskan of the Tolovana that has produced an aver age of a million a year since discov- cry said that the Westward Develop ment Company an Orergon corpora ton. formed on December IS, last is to actively push drilling as soon as machinery and supplies can be landed in the field.
 The company is closed corpora tion and not a stock seelling proposi- tion, according to Mr. McCord. It numbers among it's stockholders pro- minent Oregonians including James B. Kerr, attorney, Portland; A. S. Kerry, of the Kerry Timber Company, at Kerry, Oregon, former northerner who was the head of the old Lake Bonnet and Yukon Navigation Com pany in the early Yukon days; Bert c. Ball, President of the Will iamette Iron 6. Steel Works; Franx- lin T. Griffith. President, Portland Railway, Light & Power Company; George L. and J. A. McPherson, large timber owners, Portland; Morton H. Insley, vice-president Willamette Iron & Steel Works and A. G. Labbe, sec ond vice president of the same com- pany; MT. Corbett, with Ladd & Til tons Bank, Portland; Mr. Woodland of Woodland & Clark, Portland; J. W. Cord, Kodiak. Alaska, and two pro- minent Portland Bankers.
 MT. McCord stated that although permits have as yet not been issued to none of the locators, no trouble is anticipated in that respect and pre- parations are being made to begin catual drilling next season. Fifteen out of 22 claims represented, are reported by the U. s. Land Office entirely free from conflict and while there are some apparent conflicts on the other seven claims, in reality there are none. "In fact" declared MT. McCord, "all the men in the west field of thee Cold Bay district are working in harmony and any seeming conflicts will be amicably straighten- ed out among the locators without difficulty. All of them are anxious to get permits and begin prospecting and there will be no trouble over con- flicting claims"
 Outlook is Promising
 "The outlook in the field, from the surface of course, is promising. Four of the biggest seepages in Alaska are located there. One can wade in oil above his boot tops. Gas seepages also exist. The oil is high grade and of a parafine base and de- posits of parafine substance lie on the surface of the land to a depth in some instances of four feet. This makes fine fuel for which it will be

breathed a wrathfu sigh as she sud

the room was filled with the odor Of
stale tobacco. A forbidden privilege,
smoking in the house, had been vio-

SO perturbed was her state OF mind
that Mrs. Bobs forgot her reason for
coming home. After moment Of re-
fection, however she decided that
things looked very serious, for the all
important fact stood out clearly. She
had returned home Unexpectedly and
Bobs was not to be found. Considering
that his letters stated very emphatically
that all his evenings were spent at home
things looked very suspicious.
In spite OF this she tried to take an
optimistic view Of the situation as she
sat gingerly on the edge of a dusty
chair. After all. she mused, she had
been foolish to spoil her hard earned
vacation Just because that horrid Mrs.
