ADVISORS TO CONGRESS.
Harriman and former Governor
James N. Gillett of this city, now
living in Berkeley, are credited with
being the chief advisors to Congress
n drafting the recently enacted leas
ing hill for oil, coal and potash lards.
Under the latter law, Alaska is
shown favors because no royalties
or rentals are required by the govern
ment for five years after oil is dis
covered.
Because of this exemption and the
rood oil prospects, the people con
form'd feel justified in spending
the $2,500,000 to exploit this northern
>il land.
“Yes it is true we have given a
•ash paid-up capital of $2,500,000 to
the new Alaska Consolidated Oil
Fields to develop oil pools we are
•onfident can bo found on the com
pany’s land,” said Harriman today.
“It 's a close corporation and an in
lepcndont one. Large American oil
companies have ‘loaned’ us some of
their best geologists and they will
begin their quest for the pools next
month.
“It is costly scientific search and
somo of the best brains in the world
*ay we are on the right track.
PREDICTS BIG POOLS.
“We believe Alaska is going to be
a great new resource for gasoline and
varied lubricants. There is already a
big market in Alaska for distillate,
for there are hundreds of fishing
smacks up there and each one uses
SI TOO of distillate each season.”
