 Drilling is to start upon the ar rival of equipment, which in- cludes one of the largest rigs ever built. The first hole is planned for 12,00O feet.

 The Alaska Legislature could not have picked a more advanta- geous time to pass this encourag- ing act. If we could only persuade the federal government to grant similar incentives to new indus try in Alaska, we would be sitting on top of the mining world.
