It's a dark and stormy night for 6 months WF.IX DO WE remember the time Dangerous Dan McGrew carried the serum to Nome. No, come to think of it, it wasn't Dan. It was the fellow with the fur coat. As an old sourdough, this Com pany recalls the occasion be cause, in the first year of the Klondike gold rush, we loaded a boat with candles, kerosene, and other vital supplies and headed for the Yukon. Now the Company is back in the North Country prospect ing this time for black rather than yellow gold. This is, ac tually, our second vain year of joint "wildcatting" at Jutebay, Alaska.'No soap, nary nugget even at 6,392 feet. Hardships in the land of snow are not what they used to b in those early days we shared with Robert Service. Yet, even now, you don't rush out to dinner or off to a movie. This, in fact, is the first year we've dared to keep the drills going through the long, northern winter. Oil processed from coal and shales would meet requirements for many years. But natural pe troleum remains the economic source. Hence hardy oilmen mush down that lonesome arc tic road, fight jungle and sand in ti e tropics that, unlike cer tain others, this - nation can press onward, untroubled about supply.
