NOT YET
White Pass Will Not Discard
Coal Fall
There is little to the runior that has
been set agoing several times that the
White Pass will discard coal as fuel
and begin the use of oil. This rumor
recently reached Seattle and the Times
of th3t city said:
"There is a report current that
the White t**ss & Yukon railwav will
burn oil instead of coal in its engines.
At present it uses 12,000 tons of coal on
10,000 of which it has to p*y a duty of
65 cents a ton. The difference in cost
ii significant."
Superintendent Uahn.'when asked
about the mutter, said:
"There is not much to that. Several
times we have been approached by
representatives of the oil men, who
have sought to get us to make the
change. Mr. Boyle, who installed the
oil tanks and other appliances for the
change from coal to oil atTrealwelf,
was among ttu'se. We gave Mr. Boyle
an idea of what it is costing us now for
fuel and gave him an opportunity to
malce a showing tha: would induce a
change.
''We have a great deal of money in
vested in coal bunkers, etc., and it
woulu cost a great deal to install an oil
olant . We have not been shown that
it would profit us to make the invest
ment."
Treadwell mines on Douglas island
have completed the installation of
tauks ami other applances for the use
of oil as fuel instead of eoal. The com
pany will use, it is estimated, 700 bar
rels a day. Tankage has oeen provid
ed for 1 10.1*00 barrels. The manager
calculates that they will 'pay for their
new plant and save a ijuarter of a
million in five years by the change
made.
