Dr. Alfred J. Brooks Confirms Predic
tion Made by Dispatch
Some Wcews Ago.
RUSH TO RIVAL KLONDHiL
With Start of Oil Drilling Next Sea
son Another Big Rush Will Start
Northward— Extensive Oil Pools
in Alaska to Be Dr.iled.
A prediction published in the Dis
patch a few weeks ago that the 1921
ru.'ii co Alaska oil fields will rival
the famous Klondike rush of 1896
has been confirmed by Dr. Alfred
J. Jiooks, head of the U. S. geo
logical survey work in the Territory.
n an interview with the Post
Intoii.gcncer during the week, Dr.
Brocks said:
Decmring a bcliex that Alaska
will become an oil-producing district
n r.:l spring and sounding a warning
to the public against “ wildcat” pro
rnot oji, Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, geol
ogist m charge of the Alaska di
vision of tho United States geologi
cal sl'i) V'. \, iiiiiej a statement to tin
effect that ho is convinced that the
Territory has tremendous oil-piodue-j
ing pcs...billties. lie has just re
turn d fiom an inspection of the
northern fields and leit ior Wash-)
irg.on.
‘‘C airns for cii are being filed on
ail over Southern and Southeastern
Alaska,” said br. Brooks, “but the
actual development of the properties
I41S b 1.11 held up by the failure oi
the pci mits to be issued and news
that the government has actually
grant id the first permit since I lefti
the T rrito.y is very gratifying. b
will mean that in the sp ;ng then
wiil be a tremendous activity in Uu
oil fields.
• in looking at the oil situation in
the Territory it must be rcmcmberei
that the oil excitement in Alaska
first started in 1000. Just at tin
time work was being rushed 01.
Premising claims, California oil sec
tions gained prominence and peop.t 1
put their money into the fields tha;
my closer to home and a market.
Oil was not^scarce in those day.1
and Alaska was simpiy discarded bj
men wiio had the funds to drill. To
day file situation is different. Tin
woi\d is facing a shortage of oil.
Tins country has just passed through
an acute gasoline shortage. Men
arc willing to spend b g sums to bring
in wells something they would not do
in 1000.
“People should be cautioned
against wiIdeating in Alaska, am.
there are some evidences of that al
ready, but it is safe to say that seep
ages indicate that there are exten
sive and valuable oil deposits only
awaiting drilling rigs.”
Dr. Brooks’ primary mission on
this trip to the Territory was to de
termine if Alaska copper ores coul.l
be concentrated or smelted in thr
•
Territory, thus avoiding expense o
shipment to Puget sound for treat
ment. The report, compiled with th
aid of metallurgists, will not b«.
made public until it has been receiver
at the national capital.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct,, 16— A
large wireless station is to be erected
here in the near future for the pur
pose of communicating \ with and
checking on government mail air
planes, according to Ray E. Brunner,
and Eugene Libley, representatives of
.he wireless signal service of the
Jni\ed States Aerial Main service who
/ere in Salt Lake recently. Similar
lations are to be put up at Cheyenne,
Yyo., Reno, Nevada and San Francis
.o.
The Salt Lake station will consist of
iwo 100-foot towers, 300- feet apart
jind will be built near the new muni
cipal landing field. The plant will be
.nanned by a forte of twelve. Accord
ing to Brunner and Ubley it is plan
ned to equip each mail plane with
wireless apparatus and- to put an op
erator aboard. These men will keep in
touch with tire stations, informing
them of their movements and in thil
way the government mail anthoritiei
will at all times be able to aseerthb
just where they are. This is not pot
sible at present as none of the mn
chines have wireless..
