TELLS ABOUT
THE NOME OIL
W. B. Vanvalin, the discoverer of
the lake i>f oil near Walnright,
north of Point Barrow, ou the
north coast of Alaska, bas arrived
iu Seattle with samples of the oil
discovered by him. The locality,
he says, is lour hundred and fifty
miles from Walnright. The speci
mens <n the possession of the
finder show that the oil is of
high commercial value. It flows
constantly from four springs into a
lak* which It has formed at the foot
<>f the hill and can he run by
gravity to tidewater which is near
by. For three months of the year
ships can go right to the spot, Mr.
Vanvalin declares. He is now on
the way t"> California to Interview
oil men with a view to raising mon
ey to develop the discovery and be
lieves that the result of the de

cation and has a fine reputation so
