Yukutat Indians
Defend Claims to
Potential Oil Land
JUNEAU, UP)—The Yakutatarea
Indians have not relinquished any
claims to Katalia-Yakataga land
on which the Phillips Patroleum
Company plans oil explorations, a
representative said Wednesday.
Atty. William Paul Sr., Juneau,
said an agreement “not to' sue”
was signed last week with the
Northern Development Company,
promoter of the project, “so as
not to hinder the development of
Alaska’s resources.”
Secretary of the Interior Mc
Kay announced last week a con- j
tract by which the Phillips Com
pany obtained leases on nearly a
million acres.
We still claim full ownership
of the land, however,” Paul con
tinued, “and we expect to file a
suit against the government in
the court of claims at Washington
within a month or two.”
He said the agreement with the
Phillips concern gives the natives
a small down payment, a cent-a
barrel royalty on any oil taken in
tests and preferential employment
guaranteed in exchange for the
promise not to sue.
Should oil be discovered in pay
ing quantities, Paul added, the In
dians’ representatives will sue the
government for any royalties paid
to it.
Their protest against issuing
such leases was ended last week
with signing of the pact at Yaku
tat, following the dispute which
has raged since the Northern
Commercial Company first asked
the Bureau of Land Management
for leases nearly three years ago.
The Indians contend that as they
own the land they are the only
ones who can issue leases on it.
BARTLETLESVILLE, Okla., Iff)
—With the coming of good weath
er, Phillips Petroleum Co. geo
logical crews will move into south
Alaska, President Paul Endacott
said yesterday.
Phillips last week was approved
by the federal government to ex
plore and develop 1,000,000 acres
of vacant land extending about
120 miles along the gulf of Alaska
between Juneau and Anchorage.
The oil firm agreed to drill at
least 12 wells in the area over a
ten-year period.
