ARE DEVELOPING i
OIL PROPERTIES
AT KATALLA
The St. Elias Oil Company, of which
. Falcon Joslln Is president, has been
recently organized to take part of the
oil property at K&talla, formerly
owned by the Alaska Oil & Refining
Company, locally known as the En
gllsh company.
The property consists of one pat
ented claim of ISO acres and four
teen oil claims held under tho un
patented. There aro seven wells on
the patented claim and one on the
unpatented ground, all of which It
is expected will shortly be put on a
-production basis. Four*of tho wells
are now pumping and have been fot
several years. It is expected that u
production of 100 barrels per day can
1)0 secured all of which is readily
saleable at the canneries and other
local Industries.
As soon as tho present wells have
been put in shape, drilling will be
commenced on new wells. The oil
which is very high grade (45 deg- 1
rees) paraffine base oil is ‘‘topped"
in a refinery w'hlch is part of the
property, the refined product being
gasoline and distillate. The residue
which is about half of the total quan
tity produced has heretofore been
thrown away. This residue has a very
high percentage of cylinder and lub
ricating oil as well as paraffine anu
•s now being stored for future treat
ment. As the production Increases it
is planned to put in additional rc
dnlng facilities to take care of the
residue by-products.
Tho great obstruction to tho de
velopment of this Held Is the uncer
tainty of the title to the unpatented
locations. The land has all been
withdrawn from entry and the gov
ernment Is preparing to change Its
pplicy to a leasing system to oil lands,
an act providing for which has pass
ed the house and will come up In
the senate at the next session of con
gres. The government has brought
numerous suits ngninst similar loca
tions in California and Wyoming and
tho decisions in these suits will, it
is expected, clarify tho law as to these
locations. As soon as certain title can
be secured to a sufficient area, the
St. Elias company will put down deep
wells in an effort to develop the larg
pools which are believed to Ho at u
much greater depth than any of thi
wells of the district, have yet been
penetrated.
8UBSCRIBE FOR THE NUGGET.
IT WAS T. ITS VALISE
BUT NUT TEDDY’S
"T. R. Jr.” was the insignia on the
suit case in bright new letters. The
case suit case in the waltig room
of Union Station, Washington, D. C.
It was being guarded by a lady who
was waiting for her husband to come
from a telephone booth where he
had gone to phone for a taxi. And
the lady was very nervous, on ac
count of the fact that sho noticed
that she was the target for the eyes
of guardian of the law commonly
known as a policemen. For she didn't
know the reason. Tho matter was
soon settled, howevor, for when her
husband camo from the telephone
I
booth, the policeman come up and In
a stage whisper asked: "Are you
really Teddy Roosevelt, Jr?”
The man addressed gave the po
liceman a most emphatic denial, Indl
i eating, in a way, that he was not at
all flattered at being taken for the
son of the doughty colonel. Whether
he was or not can be ascertained by
Fnlrbanksans themselves, for the man
In question was Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
member of the Alaskan engineering
commission. The lady who guarded
the suit case and withstood the stares
was Mrs. Riggs, and they were re
turning hlme from their wedding trip.
