ALASKA WILL l)KVKLOI*K
OIL ON A C'OMMKKCIAL
BASIS SAYS BIJOOKS
_ *
Col. Alfred II. Brooks, who has had
charge of the Geological survey work
in Alaska since 181)8 and who has
spent twenty summers in the territory
at a meeting of the Juneau Commer
cial club the other day urg<xl the peo
ple of Alaska to think of Alaska in
territorial terms rather than to local
ize issues and problems.
Dr. Brooks also declared that
Alaska should be governed in Al
aska. and approved the proposal to
establish an Alaska Development
Board to administer the Federal
resources within the Territory.
v
Payne’s Ryes Opened
Pr. Brooks said Unit when Sec
retary Payne took office his know
ledge of Alaska was very meager
hut that his visit to the Territory has
opened his eyes. He has, at least
said Hr. Brooks, gained an accurate
oiueption of the size of the Terri
tory and now he realizes that it is
t pioneer country and must !>e
helped. He declared that the new
Secretary is a man who can and
loes act quickly when In* arrives
nt a conclusion.
“It is unfortunate/’ said I>r. Bro< its
‘that one man’s information and op
•nion should mean so much to Al
#»
iska as it does in the case of the
Secretary of the Interior, because
Alaska should he governed in v the
[Vrritory by those who understand
t.” But accepting conditions as
ihey are, L)r. Brooks expressed his
pleasure that the Secretary of the
interior had indorsed the idea of
he Alaska Development Board.
Secretary Payne recognizes that
the great need of Alaska is popuia
don, said !)r. Brooks, and he will do
ill within his power to encourage
people to come to tin* Territory.
Believes in Alaska Oil.
!)••. Brooks said that in his op n
,<>n Ala will develop oil on a
•opimorcial lias's. While it is said j
•lily drilling will demonstrate wheth- j
•r the Territoiy possesses one or
no: ' great oil fields , the indications
.lie that oil will bo located in com
nerciul quantities in Alaska. It is
his opinion that oil will he located in
sufficient quantities to supply the
ocal demand and for export, and
hat thqre is a strong possibility
that a great oil field will be lo- |
rated.
That Alaska has great quantities
of High grade coal in both the Bering
River and Matanuska fields, and also
large areas of lignite that will he
useful ft>r local consumption in the
Venana and other regions, also was
dated.
Great Future for Gold.
|)r. Brooks declared that the dis- ;
covered placer gold fields of Al- :
ask a which could he worked at a i
profit under the conditions that ex- j
sted before the war, contain as
much gold as has been taken from |
Alaska. He also said that there is j
no question but that Alaska con
tains great gold bearing lodes that ,
will he developed when transporta
tion conditions are improved, and eco- j
r.omical mining conditions re-estab-'j
lished.
The copper situations. Dr. Brooks
said, is similar to that which sur
rounds gold mining. He said the
indications are that great fields of
copper await transportation of normal
conditions.
