CAPTAIN PETERSON CONFIDENT STRIKE
 OIL THIS SEASON
EXPECTED BRING IN WELL MO- INEVITABLY WHEN CEASED
 WORK IN 1880

The Port of Seward, not An chorage, will be the shipping point
 for oil from the ChickaloOn wells of Capt. Ivan L. Peterson, provid- ing oil is struck. However, talking to Captain Peterson about it, there is no providing" about it; oil will probably be brought in this sum-
 mer for when work ceased last year, the drillers were right on top of it, judging from the gas pressure and formation which is said to be identical with that of the Pennsylvania and Virginia coal and oil structures.
 Captain Peterson stated that he expected to resume operations within the next six weeks and would continue on indefinitely; and should he fail to bring in oil before fall or winter, he intends to continue on into the winter. Owing to the depression in the States, it was impossible for his friends to appropriate the entire amount needed but Captain Peter son said he would carry on as long as funds permitted. He re- affirmed the fact that he is sole head of operations and business; that 1t is not stock company but entirely group of friends who have pooled certain amounts with which to carry on the enterprise. Not a cent of stock has been sold, either in Alaska or in the States.
 Furthermore, he is going to stick with it until he brings in a we'll
 No one could help absorbing some of Captain Peterson's opti- mism and enthusiasm after listen ing to him talk of his plans, the present status of development work and the future. This latter has already been taken care of and regardless what amount the well produces, every pint has market awaiting it, not only in continental United States but in Asia. This, he added, is because of the high content and paraffin base of Alaska oil.
 His plans call for a pipe line to the railroad at Chickaloon, slightly 1 over a mile, thence hauling the 1 product to Seward in tank cars.
 Arriving in Seward with Captain Peterson was Walter Strickert. en- gineer in charge.

 The feuds stand in the way of national unity. They are con- stantly springing up and killers are seldom punished.
 The Albanian code obliges the nearest relative of murdered man to destroy either the killer or, Ii the latter has fled, the nearest rel ative of the slayer.
