Oil, PERMIT HOLDERS
M.W PROCEED
On March 2n<l the Bulletin con
;ained a telegram from Washington
stating that the President had with
drawn from entry oil and gas pros
pecting permits in that section of
Alaska extending from the Endicott
Mountains to the Arctic.Ocean, in
truding some 25,000 acres of land.
The local Land Office has been be
reiged with inquiries from holders
of prospecting permits and applic
ants for permits asking how their
permits and applications will be
effected by the new ruling.
To satisfy themselves and to set
at rest the minds of the public the
Nome Land Office telegraphed the
General Land Office at Washington
for information and instructions
and received the following reply:
Washington, March 7. 1928.
REGISTER AND RECEIVER,
Nome. Alaska.
In reply to you/ telegram of March
sixth. It is valid to remit applica
tions filed prior to February 27th.
These are not affected by the Presi
dential Proclamation. Drilling may
proceed on permits. Reject appli
cations filed subsequent to said date.
SPRY. Commissioner.
From this telegram it is decided
that permits already issued obtain
and that applications field prior to
Feh. 27th will proceed to perfection.
Those who filed their applications in
the Land Office after Feb. 27th,
1923, will be effected by the procla
mation and their applications will
be rejected.
Nome contains a number of per
sons who have already filed their [
permits and those fortunate ones j
need not worry, their holdings are ;
sound and in no wise invalidated !
by the Proclamation of withdrawal.

The occasion for such celebration i
was the declaration of Norwegian i

however, as managed by the king,
