CAPT PETERSON GOES OUTSIDE
TO PROCURE ADDITIONAL
EQUIPMENT
With the last 170 feet in blue
green limestone and lime shell for
mation, identical with the Pennsyl
vania oil fields, it is now expected
that oil will be struck at any time
in the well of the Peterson Oil As
sociation, drilling at Chickaloon
and now down 1300 feet. Gas pres
sure has compelled a lay-off in
sending the bit down until new
equipment can be brought to pump
clay to prevent sloughing and io
histall gas control heads.
Such is the report from Alaska’s
newest oil fields brought to Seward
by Capt. Ivan L. Peterson and Capt.
•T. J. Carey who are pioneering the
Chickaloon district for oil, backed
by San Francisco and Los Angeles
capital. The two men went out on
the S. S. Yukon Saturday night,
after a summer at Chickaloon, dur
ing which the showings have been
increasing with each foot down and
'the hole throwing out such a tre
mendous flow of petroleum gas that
it has all but wrecked the entire
string of casing and caused a num
ber of grievous delays.
“We left L. W. Clink there as
head driller, who is an oldtimer in
his profession, and who is so en
thusiastic that he wanted to re
main on the ground because he
thinks it one of the best prospect
ive snowings he has seen in 40
years.” Capt. Peterson said. “He
will await telegraphic instructions !
which will be forwarded to him as
soon as we can assemble the addi
tional equipment which we will
need to meet th« new problems and
which we will assemble as soon as
we get Outside. Under present con
ditions in the hole we cannot go
any farther with the gas blowing
out at tremendous pressure, and we
are not stopping drilling because of
weather conditions as is popularly
rumored. The weatther will not
damper us in any particular. Whr.t
we need is a clay or concrete pump
ing apparatus that will shut off the
gas until we can force our casing
riown We also negd a heavier
Standard rig to handle the casing
end that will be provided.
“Our calculations are now based
on expert advice and we expect to
hit-the oil sands within the next
few hundred feet, possibly in the
/one between 1800 and 2500 feet.
The matter, to my mind, has pro
gressed beyond the realms of pos
sibility into the stage of certain
probability, and I believe my wor
ses are over. I confidently expect i
to add a new oil field to the riches
of the world and to the ever-lasting
glory of Alaska.”
Capt. Peterson told of the com
fortable cabins that have been
