WELCOME NEWS
Most welcome to Ketchikan
was the news that the civil aero
nautics board would require Pan
American Airways to resume ser
vice to Ketchikan,
PAA itself announced months
ago that service probably would
be restored this summer. But re
cently there had been no indic
ation of its resumption as prompt
ly as we onoe had hoped.
It is unfortunate the war’s de
mands on transportation will
cloud the benefit that otherwise
would accrue to civilians from
such a service. The service, as
we have often argued, should be
valuable in speeding mail and
: passenger traffic in the war ef
fort. For civilians, any tag end
air mail service to and from the
south will be better than the en
tire lack of air mail service we
have so impatienity enjoyed
j since 1940.
Ketchikan is vitally interested
in seeing this service reestablish
ed, with air mail connection"
<, north as well as south. The old
certificate, which still is in force,
prevented PAA from carrying
mail out of Ketchikan for the
north, or mail from the north for
Ketchikan. The prevention ap
parently was aimed at helping
any projected Ketchikan-Juneau
air line by Alaskan pilots, a pros
pect more dim now than ever.

Katalla Coal and Oil
Field Should be Opened
Says Oldtime Alaskan
-ORiDOVA — In an article con
tribntod to tho Cordova Times,
Dr. Will H. Chase writes:
Recent reports leads one to be
lieve that interest is being re
vived tin the development of the
Katalla oil and coal deposits. The
magntude of the vast deposits of
these so urgently needed pro
ducts, for which so many of the
waning natons are fighting at
this time, is inconceivable to one
who has not visited the Katalla ;
Fields.
The highest grade paraffin
base oil in the world can be |
buickly and economically prndu
od. as deep wells are not essen
tial for production. The writer
recalls that as long ago as 1907
one shallow well was producing
a hundred barrels per day of this
high grade product so important
for the manufacture of lubricat
ing oils.
Not only is oil available, but,
numerous fumaroles of escaping
gas exist throughout the fields,
With the installation of inexpen
sive refineries a high grade avia
tion gasoline can be extracted
from this escaping gas.
More than twenty known coal
veins running from thre to 50
feet in thickness exist in the dis
trict. High grade anthracite, as
fine as that produced in the
Pennsylvania fields, as well as)
bituminous and lignites abound
throughout the Katalla Field.
That at the water’s edge — thus
providing cheap transporation.
Tests have shown that there!
is great quantities of good cook- j
ing coal available. This is so
essential for smeltering of min
erals that are know nto exist in
the Copper River districts.
One wonders why such valuable
and greatly needed products at
this time and so eas ly obtainable '
are permitted to remain unde
veloped.
We should exert every possible »
effort to keep these facts before
th authorities—alive and publi- j
cized.
Cordova enjoys a strategic lo
cation which assures her future
provided we awaken and let the 1
world know what we have at our
back door. With the develop
ment of the Katalla oil .and coal
fields it is a reasonable possib
ility that natural gas would be
piped to town from the Katalla
Field for industrial and heating i
purposes.
Cordova is desined to become
a prosperous industrial center.
Let us keep busy and hasten that
day.
