j of placing Nome on the list of oil pro

Mr. Kean has discovered after a
[long period of vexatious difficulties in
l conducting his drilling operations that
[some miscreant placed a gas pipe or
| long bar of metal in his deepest drib
l hole some time during the past fall or
| winter. The hole is several hundred
feet deep and only about three Inches
In diameter, hence the presence of this
object, which is apparently one of the
iron pipes used as permanent trail'
stakes in that section by the Alaska
Rot id Commission, effectually prevents
further drilling. The presence of the
pipe or rod was not discovered for
some time after drilling was resumed
a few days ago. After drilling for
some time it was found that the drill
was making no progresr. This led to
an investigation which revealed the
presence of the strange object. Ef
forts to extract it proved fruitless as
the drill had bent the metal In .such
a way it could not he dislodged.
Mr. Kean says the rod was un
de ill.telly placed In the hide with de

quired the removal of an^tton pound

block completely covering the hole, fa
