STANDARD MAY DRILL
 AT YAKATACA BEACH

The Stand and crew of Kanatak recently receiv- ed instructions to box all of the com pany equipment at Pearl Creek dome and move it to tide water, awaiting further orders. It is assumed that this material is to be transported to Yakataga, where the General Petro- leum Company has had a crew at work on the Sullivan claim.
 One report reaching Cordova is that the General Petroleum work will be taken over by the Standard Oil of New York and the Kanatak equip- ment will be employed for drilling. Another is that the Standard in all probabilities, has acquired some claims of it's own.
