News Items From AH Parts of Alaska
Advicos from Washington state that
a serious effort will he mail© this sum
mer to obtain a supply of Alaska coal
for the use of the navy on the Pacific.
The navy npprppriation bill, carries
an item of one million dolln'rs for min
ing or contracting coal in Alaska. The
whole Matanuska region will be inves
tigated by naval experts. It is not
unlikely that naval engineers will alsi
make a survey of Dutch Harbor with
a view of establishing a permanent
coaling base for use of the navy and
the merchant* marine engaged In the
Seattle-Oriental trade.
Every north bound steamship car
ries workers for the government rail-.
more than 3.000 were sent within |
the past two months. The White I
Pass and Yukon railway company is
issembling a large force of men to
•onduct an augmented construction
tnd maintenance program on the
White Pass line this season. Large
uining companies at Skagway, White
Horse and Dawson are recruiting large
orces of workmen. Big wage increas
es have been put in effect by the ruil
vay companies. During the past
nonth 400 men have been sent for the
Vluska's first motor truck road will be
milt this summer by Faison Joslin,
reneral manager of the Bering Coal
•ompany, fro mthe Trout Creek coal
nines to Boring I«ake.
The highway will be used for the
im pose of hauling coal from the mines
o the lake, where it will be placed
lie local Alaskan markets at Katalla,
’onlova, Valdez anil Juneau. The
•ompany is building a tow boat and
wo barges at Seattle. These will be
Inished about May 15, and about June
I. the barges will be loaded with sm
dies and towed to Northern ports.
After arrival in Alaskan water* the
equipment will be used in connection
,vith the distribution of Alaskan coil
:o Alaskan cities.
John E. Barrett, a pioneer and pres
cient of the McCarthy Commercial
-iub. has had interviews with several
rexas oil operators, who contemplate
?olng into the fields in Alaska now
available by the oil leasing act. He
says there are indications of n big
oil field in the district of Icy Bay.
Alaskans have located the best known
oil lands (showing seepage) as soon as
the bill was passed, and there is a fine
opportunity for men with capital to go
into the enterprise in the territory.
Mr. Barrett says the oil fields extend
for several hundred miles along the
coast in some eases practically at tide
water, from Katalla, through the Illi
anima district to Coal Bay, including
Yakataga beach, where oil was first
discovered.
According to Mr. Barrett one of the
most remarkable discoveries ever made
in Alaska is that of a pondorndry lako
of practically solid paraffine. The In
dians have been digging paraffine and
using it for winter fuel. A branch
railroad has been projected into the
Katalla oil field, starting from the Cop
per River and Northwestern Road
thirty-nine miles form Cordova. Mr.
Barrett says Cordova presents the ap
pearance of a city in the throes o* an
oil boom. Hotels are crowded and
many are living under canvass. Cor
dova has nine salmon canneries, throe
clam canneries, and eight fox farms
where bluo, and in one instance silver
gray foxes are bred as a commercial
prcject for their pelts.
A special from Washington says
Secretary' of the Interior Payne has
appointed Alfred H. Brooks to confer
with the shipping board and post office
department in formulating a plan for
the development of Alaska. Better
