ALASKA OIL COMPANY IS
 WIDENING AREA OIL CLAIMS

That the Alaska Oil Company or the Finnegan interests is increasing it's holdings in the oil districts of the Alaska peninsula was indicated in the nling of two new applications for oil claims of 2560 acres each in the local U. s. Land Office today. These appli- cations were filed in the names of Ernest Marquardt and Minal E. Young and both claims are located in the Chignig Bay section of what is termed the Aniakshak district.
 The Alaska oil company has several claims in the Cold Bay district pro- per which is eastward from the loca- tion of the attest claims for which ap- plication was made. During the past season it had several geologists from big oil producing companies go over it's holdings and other districts and re- ports made by them are reported to have been very favorable.
