in regions of known seepages and favorable structure and some are in wildcat territory, not uncommonly in areas where what is known of the geology is unfavorable to the occur renee of oil. Drilling in some of the Alaska oil fields will no doubt be undertaken in 1922.
 In Juy, 1921, a petroleum seepage flowing about two ounces a day was the town of Anchorage. This was visited by Alfred H. Brooks, who re- ports that it emerges from gravel bank on top of strata of clay Its bedrock source is unknown. for the region in which it occurs is largely covered by gravel, sand and clay to a depth of 200 feet or more Other seepages are reported near Anchor age. :,
 An examination made under private auspices of the long known locality of petroleum residue near Smith Bay, about 100 miles southeast of Point Barrow. is reported to have disclosed several large seepages. So far as known, these are the only new dis coveries of petroleum seepages made in Alaska during 1921 though others are reported.
 The United States Geological Sur vey in 1921 examined the Iniskin Bay oil region, on Cook Inlet, and a part of the Cold Bay region on the Alaska Peninsula. The reports on this work have not yet been finished, but the general results can be announced F. H. Moffit found that the Iniskin Bay region includes a number of long. narrow anticlines which are joined on the seaward side by a great monocline. This monoclinal struc- ture affords considerable drainage area and may have resulted in the accumulation of pools of oil.
 s. R. Capps reports that in the Cold Bay district and probably in other parts of the Alaska Peninsula there are structural features favor able to the accumulation Of oil and that these are we'll worth drilling. These are of such dimensions that there is a possibility of their con- taining large oil pools.

 Marble quarrying and gypsum min ing continued in Southeastern Alaska in 1921. The marble output was smaller, but there was a considerable increase in the gypsum output over that of 1920. Sulphur mining con- tinued on Akun Island, at the east end of the Aleutian chain, but no sulphur was shipped.

PETROLEUM
 The petroleum produced in Alaska in 1921, as in previous years, was in the Katalla oil field. This prop erty is owned by the Chilkat Oil Company, which uses it's entire pro- duct in it's own refinery. Except for the work done by this company, there was no drilling in the Alaska petroleum fields. The stalking of Alaska oil claims began in 1920 and continued in 1921. Some claims are
