•Ther" is t seepage of oil at An

Brooks. United States geologist in
charge of the Alaska division, at a
recent luncheon at the Arctic Club
given him by the executive commit
tee of the Ala.-ka Bureau of the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce. Dr.
Brooks, who has been on his annual
inspection tour of Alaska districts
for the last several months. left yes
terday for Washington. D. C. He
spent some time at the Northwest
Experiment Station maintained by
the U. S. Bureau of Mines on the Uni
versity of Washington campus.
The surface of the Anchorage oil
district, according to Dr. Brooks, is
covered with a heavy deposit o£ gra
vel. The rock ledges are not ex
posed. The Kantishna district. Dr.
Brooks says, is alive with activity.
There are from 40 to 50 prospectors
busy, and silver and lead have been 1
discovered. The district, which bids,
fair to be an important adjunct to j
Alaska’s producing area, is about
350 miles north of Seward. As it is
only 70 miles west of the govern

quartz lands in the country. These,
