YOME FUEL OIL
OUTLOOK SERIOUS
With tii»« a va ilcble supply of crude
«il fast nearing exhaustion and with
•radically n<» present prospect that
urther supplies of that indispensable
uel can ho. obtained. Name's fuel oil
uitlook is one of the utmost serious
ioss. All efTorts to secure a fresh
iirvply from the Outside have so far
ailed, both the Asociated and Stand
rd nil companies refusing: to accept
ocal orders.
The Alaska Minos Corporation,
vhieh, more them any other concern
n the district is dependent upon oil
n its conduct of its operations, wired’
otli companies during: the past two
veeks but failed in each instance ♦.«
■ecedve the. slightest assumnce that
aore oil could be obtained. In its
nessage to the Associated Oil Com
winy, the Alaska Mines Corporation
rlred to the following effect.
Nome. June SO 1921.
associated Oil Company.
Sun Francisco.
Please advise if you are taking any
teps to replenish oil supply here? If
ii do you deliver at anchorage or in
hore storage tanks? This company
equires 5,000 barrels October 1: oth O’’
equipments will approxitnate 8,000
Will handle agency if reasonable
iducement offered.
Alaska Mines Corporation.
The traply of the oil company was
s follows:
San Francisco. June 21. 1021
Alaska Mines Corporation, Nome.
Yours twentieth: \Ve ilo not con
template any fuel oil deliveries at
As the reply was somewhat inde
Imite as regards the willingness of
it. was decided try further and th
following message was forwarded.
Associated Oil Company.
San Francisco.
Please advise ns smallest quantity
oil you will deliver here. When can it
l>e delivered and under what terms.
Alaska Mines Corporation.
The resultant answer was a point
Plank refusal to consider a local ship
ment. the oil company message stating
“Unable to supply.” Failing in this
effort, the local company addressed
the Standard Oil Company as follows.
Nome, June 28, 1921
Standard Oil Company,
Please advise will you consider de
livering shipment crude oil here?
Spite smallest quantity you will de
liver, whether anchorage or in shore
storage tanks available. What date
eon you deliver and under what terms
This company requires 5..000 barrels,
other requirements 8,000 more. Would
consider handling agency.
To this the Standard Company re
plied as follows.
San Francisco June 30-21
Alaska Mines C'orp. Nome.
Your wire yesterday: regret unable
to offer delivery of fuel oil at Nome.
Standard Oil Company.
Exhaustion of ‘he loc.il suj»ply has
already worked a serious hardship
on ihe mining industia ami threaten?
to force a general abandonment of
drift mining operations, as well as all
other fonnis of mining which depend
upon fuel oil for maintenance of ac
tivities. Owing to the present high cost
of cool, substitution of that form of
fuel for crude oil is in most cases ut
terly prohibitive, particularly in the
euie of the low grade mines which
form the major source of local gold
Hin'oduction. Inability to secure oil
is very likely to result in some sus
pension of activities in the dredging
field and other industries. There is
also a prospect that the Alaska Mines
Corporation will probably have to
close down its public heating plant
next winter. The shortage will not
effect the electric light plant us they
have enough oil supply to last until
the siunpner of 1922.
