! 01 THIS SEASON
| EXPECTED BRING IN WELL MO
MENTARILY WHEN CEASED
WORK IN 1930 ,
The Port of Seward, not An
chorage, will be the shipping point
for oil from the Chickaloon wells
of Capt. Ivan L. Peterson, provid
ing oil is struck. However, talking
to Captain Peterson about it, there
is no “providing” about it; oil will
probably be brought in this sum
mer for when work ceased last
year, the drillers were right on
top of it, judging from the gas
pressure and formation which is
said to be identical with that of
the Pennsylvania and Virginia coal
and oil structures.
Captain Peterson stated that he
expected to resume operations
within the next six weeks and
would continue on indefinitely;
and should he fail to bring in oil
before fall or winter, he intends
to continue on into the winter.
Owing to the depression in the
States, it was impossible for his
friends to appropriate the entire
amount needed but Captain Peter
son said he would carry on as
long as funds permitted. He re
affirmed the fact that he is sole
head of operations and business;
that it is not a stock company but
entirely a group of friends who
have pooled certain amounts with
which to carry on the enterprise.
Not a cent of stock has been sold,
either in Alaska or in the States.
Furthermore, he is going to
stick with it until he brings in a
well!
| No one could help absorbing
'some of Captain Peterson’s opti
j mism and enthusiasm after listen
; ing to him talk of his plans, the
J present status of development
I work and the future. This latter j
| has already been taken care of!
I and regardless what amount the j
; well produces, every pint has a j
| market awaiting it, not only in !
| continental United States but in j
• Asia. This, he added, is because
j of the high content and paraffin
j base of Alaska oil.
His plans call for a pipe line to j
| the railroad at Chickaloon, slightly
| over a mile, thence hauling the
i product to Seward in tank cars. I

: Peterson was Walter Strickert. en
