CALIFORNIA PEOPLE FIND AL
ASKA PRODUCT JUST RIGHT
FOR GLASS MAKING
Finding the semi-bituminous coal
of the Coal Creek Coal Co., owned
by R. S. Heckey of Chickaloon suit
able to their needs, a big San Fran
cisco glass making company may
take over the Heckey lease-hold at
an early date and open the Coal
Creek property on a large scale. For
the purpose of glass making the so
called blacksmith coal from the
i Heckey lease is practically ideal in
| the coke it produces with only sev
ien to nine percent ash and one-half
' of one percent sulphur mine run.
'According to Government tests it is
the best in the United States, and
German coal of an inferior grade to
the Alaska article brings $87 a ton
for the coke in San Francisco.
The investigations of the glass
corporation of the Golden Gate was
initiated last year and was resumed
again this past summer, their rep
resentative having gone Outside re
cently to report to his company. It
is understood that they were pre
pared to make a very substantial
offer for the lease last year had the
papers been in the shape they
wanted them. This defect has now
been cured, Mr. Heckey says, so it
is very likely that negotiations will
go thru to a successful conclusion.
The Heckey property lies across
the Matanuska from the mouth of
the Chickaloon and about two miles
in an air line south of Chickaloon.
It lies across Coal Creek from the
old Navy workings.
Under the name of the Coal
Creek Coal Co., Heckey started
working there in 1923. He is now i
in 800 feet with gangway and coun- j
ter, working in coal all the way, on !
a vein that is 40 inches at the head- !
ing. There is another vein 40 feet !
to the south 52 inches in width and (
s.ili further south 120 feet is a third
vein six feet, four inches in width.
These constitute three excellent
beds of coal, dipping into the earth
at a convenient angle for mining
[with a tonnage in sight of 1500,090
tons while there are 20,000,000 tons
in the district figuring from the re
sults of the navy drilling which lo
cated coal at a depth of 1200 feet
with a diamond drill.
“It is easy enough for me to sup
ply /all the market will absorb,”
said Mr. Heckey just before leaving
for Chickaloon yesterday. “The
Alaska Railroad takes about 290
tons a year for foundry purposes
and fcr making coke to heat pas
senger coaches. I sell some to the
Fairbanks Exploration Co., the Nel
son Foundry at Fairbanks and to
O’Neil at Cordova who retails it.
But at that. I can hardly dispose of
more than 300 tons in a year, dr
suite the fact that it is a better ccal
than the consumer can get from
the Outside and will cost him less.
“The glass people are not the
only ones that are needing this coal
in the bay industries and the inter
est they are paying to us now is
sure indication that there will be
something doing on a big scale be
fore long.”
