ON IE OIL TRUIL
_ . -r-*
(Continued from Vmz.* -"'•'oi
Beyond, broken and disheartened,
never to return.
Not all the interesting spots on
this trail have been mentioned,
i There still remain several that
[shouldn’t be overlooked, special
ly as these are really worth while
' and very promising. Katalla is an
i old prospect. For 20 years, more or
I less, the oil wells of Katalla have
! been a conumdruin and on the
| pump. High gravity oil they sure
ly have, but chary indeed of their
favors, as they play out less than
20 barrels per day. Several small
companies have started operations
there but bcause of hard and ex
! pensive conditions (miles from
the beach and roads must be
made) and because of an exces
sive fall of snow there in winter
the work, so important to Alaska,
is dropped. Probably the vital
reason of all has been lack of
funds to continue work for any
length of tme.
We hear this last' is a thing of
the past, and now the company
operating there ras taken in
two large outfits. We are not in
formed regarding this company
but hope and trust they will meet
with encouragement of every sort.
At Yakataga in 1926 the Gen
eral Petroleum Oil Company made
another fiasco in Alaskan oil cir
cles. With every appearance of
sincerity this company took in a
large outfit, built a road of some
miles from thq beach to the drill
ing site, began and prosecuted the
work for some two or three sum
mers.
About this time the General Pe
troleum consolidated with the As
sociated Oil Company, pulled up
stakes, machinery, moved out and
quit.
Same old story.
So ended another tragic chap
ter on the oil trail in the great
Territory of Alaska.
/ And last but by no means least,
| there is the Valley of Ten Thous
j and Smokes—what about that?
Can anyone positively say this
wonderland of Mother Nature is
not a subterranan oil field on
fire? Started itself perhaps by
underground friction, or by earth
quakes or lightning, or what have
j you?
No one can say. But there are
those now so interested in this
wonderful Valley that they are
also on the oil trail and they may
j make some declaration of valuable
{discovery before many years have
| passed.

The next time D. E. Valade and
Wm. Shellhorn go hunting they
will confer a great favor upon
the traveling public by notifying
them in 10 days in advance of
their proposed forage into the
Alaska’s No-Man’s Land.
Each year without fail when
these two stalwarts take the field
their departure from Seward is
amid roaring winds, sheets of
rain, or scintilating flashes of
lightening. It was the same old
story Friday, and on Saturday,
when they left for Paradise Val
ley.
If the mighty hunters will only
select a day to leave town in the
middle of the week instead of on
boat or train day, all will be for
given. As it is, it will take Seward
16 years to forever silence wagging
tongues describing Seward’s weath
er.
