Information received from Capt.
Ivan L. Peterson, pioneer oil op
erator of the Chickalon field says !
: he expects to arrive in Alaska
j early in the spring and will resume j
drilling at the Peterson oii well
as soon as the snow goes and the :
district is accessible.
Accompanying Captain Peterson
i to the North will be a party of ex- :
perts and engineers which will j
I give the Railroad Belt a thorough 1
j inspection and examination of.:
mineral resources.
Captain Peterson is now work- '
ing out negotiations for financing >
, a big mining project in conjunc- 1
j tion with Alaskan interests, and
hopes to have all details completed
by the time he sails from his home l
in Burlingame, the fashionable t
suburb of San Francisco, for Sew
ard.
Regarding the wrell operations j
Captain Peterson says he believes!
the work of completing his test j a
bore, which is now down 1.600 feet, j t<
will take care of itself next sum- a
mer. tl
Thus all rumors of discontinuing j ti
prospecting or oil are erroneous, j
and on the contrary Captain Pet
erson plans to branch out further, rr
in Alaskan mineral resources. d
From his advent in Alaska with C
standard oil drilling equipment to I "
be installed in the Railroad Belt,!
Captain Feterson has been a iive
i.vire, and weathered all vicissitudes
attendant upon drilling the first- t
ail test, emerging victorious when j
t was thought the wTell was lost by \
excessive gas pressure which buck- .;!
ed casing and temporarily held up 1 jj
