Hollywood Investors
Join Rush for Oil
In Alaskan Area
BY the Associated Press


FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. Is.
-Oil-ruSh fever mounted in this
interior Alaska city today after
two concerns, which include two
top Hollywood figures, filed this
week for more than 100000 acres
of oil leases.
1t raised the total of filings
within two weeks close to half q
million acres in a remtote sec
ton, inland from Norton Sound
on the west coast. in this land
of the one time gold rush"
Two weeks ago a group headed
by F. Kirk johnson, Texas oil
man. and including Movie Star
Jimmy Stewart, leased 268,00O
acres of land in the region.
The same group leased an adj
ditional 100000 acres Monday.
Investors Listed.
Investors in the new lease in
cluded Alfred Hitchcock, Holly
wood movie director, the firm of
Piper, Jaffrey and Hopwood,
Minneapolis; E. Stanley Klein,
New York, and the Ute Royalty
Co.. Salt Lake City, Utah.
Earl Henderson, president of
the Ute Royalty Corp. laid down
checks totaling more than $40,-
600 from the investors when the
land office opened its doors. Also
waiting at the door were repre-
sentatives of the Texas Yukon
Oil Co., who Immediately filed
leases for 10000 acres of land in
the same area.
Mr.. Henderson said drilling
will begin next summer and close
to $2.5 million will be spent to
drill up to five wells.
Margery Mccormack. who is
in charge Of the land Office here,
said all the leases would be con-
sidered as being filed simultane-
ously and if they overlap a
drawing will be held to deter
mine winners.
Fever Explained.
The sudden and intense in
terest in the land was explained
by DR.. Ernest Patty, president
of the University of Alaska and
longtime Alaska mining engi-
neer:
1.-THE land these concerns are
seeking to claim is composed of
a geological structure that would
hold and produce oil providing
oil ever was here.
THE Navy found large amounts
of Oil and natural gas in a drill
ing program north of the Brooks
Range around Point Barrow and
Umiat. These deposits are so
far north they are virtually cut
off from markets.
"Geologists believe that the
Brooks Range uplifted at a late
date, splitting great oil basin.
In other words there seems to
be as good a chance of finding
oil south of the Brooks Range
as there was finding it to the
north"

have disaster chairman with the
exception of Branch Area No. 4,
which comprises Smyrna, Clayton,
