CH|CKA[OON O|[ DR|LLERS NEARING
 SECOND HORIZON
LOG REVEALS EXCELLENT OP- PORTUNITY TO STRIKE
 OIL SOON

According to the log of the Pe- terson Oil Association well, being drilled at Chickaloon, the drill is rapidly approaching the second oil horizon, lying in the Lower Creta- ceouS.
 The drill entered the first oil shale at 1868 feet, passing thru 42 feet of this material. At 1417 feet was encountered a heavy flow of gas, which served to confirm the nature of the shale reposing upon black sand, which in turn was re- placed by gray shale for eight feet, when the drill cut three feet of gray limestone, reposing upon a bed of 30 feet of medium gray sand stone, impregnated with lime. At 42 feet additional depth the drill entered fine-grained gray sand stone, containing much calcareous or lime matter.
 It was at this point drilling was suspended last season.
 Thus the structure penetrated is conformable, as yet showing no evidence of intense folding, as would have been the case if the first foSsilized shale, cut at 1900 feet, were encountered again at a lower horizon.
 In the absence of a full strata graphic column in this field show ing the structure from the quarten- ary to the Palezoic, only approxi- nations may be made as to the thickness and conformity of the various ages and divisions. But gauged by the log already obtain ed by Captain Peterson, he has ample room for exploration before he would be compelled to abandon the bore.
 There is no evidence that he has passed thru the second oil horizon, but on the contrary indications are that he is approaching it. Should he fail to secure oil at this horizon he still has the Messozic, with the Jurassic and Triassic to penetrate before arriving at the Carbonifer- Ous.
 He expects to encounter alter nate beds of shale, sandstone and limestone for some distance, and , the first oil horizon lies below him, after he has passed the second, which he appears now to be ap- preaching.
 A recent expert from California was we'll pleased with the log and predicts that the well will prove of great importance in determining the possibilities of the Susitna Val ley as an oil field.
 One of the main handicaps to the geologist is the lack of com parative strata upon which to com pute the approximations in the Chickaloon fields All that is avail able is the Kenai, which was drill ed by the Standard Oil Company at Cold Bay. This structure extends up the east shore line of Cook In- let and passes along the foothills of the Chugach range to where it has been picked up further up the Susitna Valley. Its thickness is computed from a few feet to 2200 feet as shown further south. It was the assumption of the late Dr. AL fred Brooks that underlying this was an older structure which might contain oil.
 Captain Peterson is not consid- ering the Kenai in view of the fact that he has passed thru S4 feet of various coal seams and is now far below the coal horizon, where he found his greatest flow of gas.
 Thus only the drill can tell the story, and the log thus far shows that Captain Peterson has an ex- cellent opportunity to strike oil

They were the pop.nt factors in the
