| the supervision Of Ii. ". vance. The road is constructed for the heavy travel of Holt tractors, each com pany having a tractor of seventy five horsepower and capable of drawing traitors loaded with from five to fifteen tons. The steepest grade on the road is about twenty five per cent, which is reached about one and one-half miles from town. "The Associated company started drilling operations on their property sometime in January and had sunk nearly 200 feet when operations were closed on account of breaking the drill stems and set of jars. These parts of the equipment ar rived in Kanatak on the Starr last week and operations will shortly be resumed.
 "The Standard Oil company start ed drilling last week. This company has set up the most powerful drill ing plant ever erected in the world in the search for oil. They are pre- pared to drill two wells to maxi mum depth of 4.2O0 feet. unless oil or gas is encountered sooner. It seems to be the consensus of opinion among persons familiar with the oil game that oil will be struck there sometime in July, at a depth of not to exceed 2,OO0 feet.
 Many years ago, number of oil wells were drilled in the vicinity of the oil seepages near the head of Oil creek and upper Trail creek. Some of the wells drilled are re- ported to have penetrated oil soaked beds and to have obtained some oil. The saturated sands of Trail creek are abundantly exposed. so that any oil they contain is free to escape.
 Pearl creek dome, where the Standard and Associated Oil com panies are now drilling, is worthy of test, for the seepage and the residue show that the rocks in it are oily bearing. and it's size and shape appear to make capable the concen- ration there of oil from a large area. This part of the field seems generally to be thought to be most favorable ground for drilling, and a major part of the early work is to be done there.
 ''The camps of the Standard and Associated Oil companies are about l2.n00 feet apart The Associated Oil company is using Star rigs op- erated by steam. Their fuel consists of the heavy paraffine residue min ed at a large seepage about half mile from operations. The Stand ard rig driven by 75 h.-p. gaso- line engine.

NEWSPAPERMAN DESCRIBES
 CONDITIONS AT COLD BAY

The story of how Kanatak, the gateway to the Cold Bay oil fields has suddenly sprung into existence and of how hundreds of people are now waiting, ready to rush there as soon as oil is struck by the Standard Oil company that has al ready set up the most powerful drilling plant ever erected in search of oil, was received at Ketchikan from Bernard M. Stone we'll known Alaska newspaper man.
 Alaska is dotted with small towns, peopled by those who have experienced pioneering hardships in the gamble for wealth, and within the past four months to the west ward of Seward another town of the old class has sprung up into eX- istence-Kanatak, the gateway to the Cold bay oil fields" MT. Stone says.
 "Kanatak. which is for the time being the base of supplies for the Standard Oil and the Associated Oil companies, is located within the blight of a bay which may be likened to a horseshoe, with a bar stretch ing nearly two-thirds of the way across from one point. The reef, in a great measure affords protection to shipping, which is compelled to anchor while lightered to the beach.
 ''The town is divided into two parts, Old Town and New Town, an Indian village dividing the two sec tions of the town. About a dozen business houses and number of substantial residence-in all about 150, comprise the total enterprises of both sections of Kanatak. Fifteen business houses are located in New Town and eight in Old Town All these business houses present a neat and attractive appearance.
 "Kanatak is now in the throes of building boom, with the expecta- tion that thousands of people will flock to the oil fields, with the in tention of getting in on as large share as possible of the fruits of strikingta few gushers.
 Ray c. Larson, a lumber mer- chant of Anchorage, returned last week from the fields. where he has been preparing location for his store building. He has ordered on an Alaska s. s. freighter leaving Seattle this week. 600 tons of freight and 5OO,OOO feet of lumber for the new camp. Ben A. Grier, formerly president of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, has been ap- pointed by Ray Laron to manage his business at Kanatak, and he will accompany the initial shipment north
 "The steamer Starr took 6O,OO0 feet of lumber from Seward two weeks ago and last Sunday left with another 37,000 feet of lumber and l50 tons of merchandise. She also carried seventy passengers on the last run.
 With the announcement that oil has been struck, Kanatak will wit ness a rush of people which will resemble the days of '97 and '99.  The prospects of realizing the Ropes expressed in bringing in oil in com mercial quantities are more than normally good. Men who are engag- ed in drilling for oil are even more optimistic than the business people it appears that it is only matter of how deep the drill must be sent before the wealth producing fluid is produced.
