Practically the same officers con«
tro'. the affairs of the new company
that directed1 the activities of the

made necessary in tirder to secure
additionta' capital and meet the
peculiar requirements of the oil*
lea'ing bill.

from Katalla and reports all work
progressing satisfactorily. Mr. Jos4
liu is expected North soon. In speak*
ing of the oil-leasing' bill Mr. Haz
elet said its provisions were uncer
tain and indefinite, and in fact it
is not knwon what effect tthey may
have upon the industry. He said
that the chances were th^ old
claimants would have the preferred

have held and done work oon for
the past number of years. He says
th-o* so far as he knowis the sit

has - been for a number of years.
There seems to be a disposition up

Washington and Oregon, an<S which

to be a daughter of that sunny

produced her certificate, while the
