COL OHM PLEASED
WITH REPORT OT THE
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Accompanied by H. E. Stevens,
vice president of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, General Manager O.
F. Ohlson, of the Alaska Railroad,
arrived in Seward last night on his
private car, and will return to An
chorage headquarters today.
Mr. Stevens is returning from a
big game hunt on Wood River, in
the Valdez Creek district. Accom
panying him on the trip were Col
onel Ohlson, E. T. Foley, of the
Foley Construction Co., New York,
and Carl Swenson, also of New
York. Mr. Stevens secured the lim
it of big game, with the exception
of caribou, in the first three days
of hunting. The others secured
some fine specimens, including
sheeping killed by Colonel Ohlson.

OGLE’S GARAGE
neyed to Fairbanks, where they en
gaged a limousine for a trip along
the Richardson highway, where
they planned to shoot caribou. They
will continue on to Cordova to make
connections with the SS Alaska,
sailing at 11 o’clock this morning.
: Confirmation of The Gateway’s
story of yesterday with respect to
reduction in rates on the Alaska
Railroad was given by Colonel
'Ohlson last night, and the recom
mendations for a reversion to the
prevailing freight rates before the
iHowell committee upped them, and
a six-cent passenger rate will be
among Colonel Ohlson’s recommen
.dations when he journeys to Wash
jington in December.
Colonel Ohlson is well pleased
with the report of the Geological
Survey, both as regards precious
metals and coal. The examination
has revealed great possibilities for
Anthracite Ridge and the deter
mining of larger and better basal
beds of bituminous coal in the
Moose Creek section of the Mata
nuska fields.
In addition to the magnitude and
quality of the basal beds as at
present revealed, there is a large
area in the Moose Creek field which
theoretically contains beds that
should be even greater in volume
and quality. This will be deter
mined next summer when drilling
of Anthracite is completed and op
erations transferred to the Moose
Creek field.
One of the beneficial effects of
the recent Geological Survey ex
aminations, says Colonel Ohlson,
will be the valuable data available
to the railroad in answering in
quiries with respect to precious
metal mining. In addition to the
Survey’s work, an engineer will be ;
assigned to the railroad to follow 1
up and assist prospectors and mine j
owners in bringing their holdings
to the attention of investing capital.
Boats in port today included the
SS Alaska, USS Discoverer, MS
Westdahl, Marian, Roy, Joan, Ba
varia. Flattery, Rolph I, T-3048,
Helldiver and the Trio.
