TWO MILLION DOLLARS TO
UK SPENT IN tv AT ALL \
FIELDS m EASTERNERS
Two Eastern syndicates will ex
pend $2,000,000 for the purpose of
determining whether the Katalla oil
fields have oil in great quantities
or whether the oil sands ol that .sec
tion arc small deposits having a little
high grade oil in them. I his is the
word contained in a long article
in a recent edition of the Seattle
Times, from the pen ot J. J. Under
wood.
Th;s is one of the first direct re
sults of the action of Congress in
passing the od leasing bili and the
action of Secretary Payne in making
liberal regulations for Ala>l;a under
the terms of that bill.

The two syndicates each have
*>ivf«*.initial lights to large quanti
ties of coal lands under the terms
of tin* i* U. They consist of holdings
that were being developed at the i
tinm of the withdrawal of oil lands
by President Hoosevelt in which
have been consolidated in a manner
that will permit of systematic pros
pecting and developing.
Kxcellent oil has been found on
m** of those properties, and some
of it has been constantly produced,
and in a small way refined for use.
However, it has never been found in
such quantities as would admit of
he use of large capital. It is now
proposed to bore the entire country,
and experts are already on the
ground to prosecute the work.

“There a.e eight or nine wells on
this claim, all small producers, and
technically known as ‘crevice’ well*
i he oi! comes from a cracx in the
a. th and the crack doubtless leads to
t pool of oil, which nobody has evoi
ii..o\erod, probably because nobody
has over sunk a well deep enough o;
in the light place. The sinking of deep
wells will hi* commenced this summer
; tin* negotiations now in progress
are completed successfully.
“In making public the regulations
affecting oil land leases in Alaska,
Secretary Paine pointed out that the
law it.’ ll* recognized that conditions
in Aia.'ka warranted more liberal
terms, than in the United States
