EXTENSION OF TIME UNDER
 OIL PERMITS

Many requests for information have Land Office at Juneau, Alaska, for information concerning extensions of time within which to comply with the various conditions included within permits to prospect for oil, in the Territory of Alaska.
 Applications have been received for extensions to allow the marking of corners as required by section one of the permit. Under this sec- tion, the corners of the land included within the permit, should be marked within one year from the date of the permit There is no provision of law whereby this time can be extended, so that applications for such extensions must be rejected in the first instance.
 Permittees should mark the cor ners of their claims as early as pos sible and should submit evidence 
 on the claim, showing when permit was issued and giving description of the land covered by it.
 Under Section Two, an adequate and substantial drilling outfit is required to be placed upon the land within two years from the issuance of permit This time may be eX- tended by the Secretary of the h. terior upon showing sufficient req sons therefor.
 Sections Three and Four of the permit require that wells of a cer- tain depth be drilled within certain periods of time and these require ments may also be extended under the same act that allows for an eX- tension of time within which to com mence drilling; that is, under the act of January Ii, 1922.
 Petitions for the extension of time within which to commence drilling or to drill to the depth required during the third and fourth years, should be submitted to the United States Land Office, and should be accompanied by the sworn statement of the permittee, showing what he has done to warrant the extension of time, and why it is impracticable for him to comply with the terms of the permit within the periods allowed by the permit. This statement should be corroborated by the sworn statement of at least one disinter- ested witness, and should not be filed until approximately the date upon which the time is up, for doing the thing required by the permit.
 The applications and sworn state ments should be full and complete.
 With the extensions of the public surveys to the Cold Bay, Anlakashak and Yakataga Districts, the Depart ment is requiring all applications for permits to tie the initial corner of their location to some corner of the public survey. This will be in- sisted upon before the premit is issued, so that applicants for per mits should govern themselves ac- cordingly
 Under a decision of the Secretary of the Interior, dated December 7, 1923, an extension of time to do any act required under permit to pros pect for oil, automatically extends the time for doing any subsequent act required by the permit and accord ingly, the Secretary holds that be- fore any extension will be granted for any purpose, that the applicant must file a certificate from the Surety Company extending the obli- gations under the bond to cover the period granted by the extension

a
A contract drawn for a private
corporation during the war by
Charles Evans Hughes, now Sec
rotary of State, may deprive the
United States Government of its
right to lease Muscle Shoals to
Henry Ford.
Secretary Hughes was called
in as special counsel by the Air
Nitrates Corporation to draft the
contract under which the. COM
pany contracted to build the
nitrate plant at the Shoals. The
corporation is q subsidiary of the
American Cyanamid Company,
which enjoys a monopoly of the
nitrate business in this country.
It spent about 500, 100000 of
the Governments money and was
accused of waste and inefficiency
by the Graham investigating
committee, whose charges were
sent to the office of the Attor-
ney General, where they now
repose.
Text Of the Clause.
Hughes, it is revealed was EN-
ployed by the corporation to draw
q contract which would enable it
to gain complete control, by lease
or ownership, of Muscle Shoals
whenever it desired after the war.
The option drawn by Hughes and
which may possibly stand in the
way OF permitting the Government
70 lease the Shoals to Ford is as
follows:
II, upon the cessation of this
war, or for any other reason, the
United States determines to- cease
the construction, equipment or on
Grafton OF any of the said plants
the agent (Air Nitrates Corpora.
toni shall be given the first Oppor.

same upon as favorable terms "a
the United States is willing to
accept therefor. before the United
States shall sell the same to any
other party"

ready has informed Congress that
Air Nitrates Corporation insists that
1t has morally and legally binding
agreement by which the United
States agrees to sell or lease Muscle
Shoals to Air Nitrates on the same
terms it agrees to make with Ford.
Asked by the Military Affairs
Committee Of the House at the time
Of the Muscle Shoals hearings, If
he thought his company would de-
eide to take the Shoals on the same
terms as Ford had offered, he re-
piled, MY personal opinion is it
would be accepted"

The following statement then made
by Hammitt shows the Importance
Of the option as viewed by the
corporation and Hughes connection

Stool Pigeon" Buys "cin, :
But Bottle Contains
Only Water.

Washington's liquor exchange
today is smiling its satisfaction at
the manner in which an alleged
''bootie" put one over on two First
precinct detectives last night.
The bootIegger who executed the
coup was approached at Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest by a soldier in full uni
form. The soldier sought liquor.
He paid his money, took a pint
bottle that contained gin and
nodded his head to a detective. The
latter. promptly arrested the ven

one sniff was sufficient to tell that
aqua pura was the only content OF
the bottle, not "gin," and after be
ing held five minutes the prisoner
was released.
