ASSOCIATED OIL SUSPENDS YORK;;
 ABANDONS WELL
Work Stopped by One Com pany in Cold Bay Field
 Future Course Unknown.

That the Associated Oil company has discontinued operations in the Cold Bay field, abandoning a 900foot hole was disclosed here last week by passengers on steamers passing through here southbound from Sew ard. No announcement has been made by the company relative to this action and il is not known whether 1t will start up again this season.
 A physician and other employees of the company passed through here last week enroute from kanatak to Seattle. These men said that the Associated Oil had closed down and It's crew was leaving the field. The same information was also brought to Seward early last week and a letter received late last week by W. c. Johnson contained similar infor- nation.
 Seward adviees said that "suspen- sion of work by the Associated Oil is not taken to mean the company will pull it's rig out of the field, but that drilling will resume in the near future" In confirmation of this view it is recalled that geologists for the company, whose recommendations led to it's entry into the field, reported it was probable that oil would be encountered at depth between g. 200 and 2,500 feet, or 300 to 1,600 feet deeper than the level reached by the company's drill. It is believed by local people with holdings in the field that the hard pan formation en- countered proved too heavy for the type of drill used and that the com pany plans to use different type of drill. None of them, however, had any definite information.
 The news of the suspension of work came as surprise as it was reported here several days ago that the com pany was sending two new drills in to start holes on other claims held under assignment by 1t.
 The Standard oil Is still drilling. It had reached depth of over 400 feet and was still in hard rock ten days ago.
