 oil field, without reference to the pos abilities and the anticipated rush to Alaska by Californians and other oil concerns after the initial success of the pioneer companies.
 The oil indications in the Cordova district, other than the Katalla field, are such as to amaze all visitors. Dealing, however, with the present de- velopment in the Katalla field, where eleven wells are now producing oil of the finest quality, the statement is restricted to the authoritative facts. These alone referring to Katalla, are considered sufficient to cause sen sation on the outside, where some companies are spending large sums on holes in the ground where gas is the only indication of oil. There is no "gasser" in the katalla field, but there is plenty of the finest kind of oil, and no one in Alaska is inclined to be "gassing" about the coming gushers. Everybody knows there's a world of oil' in this district The lucky To- cators will be the millionaires.
