ASK PROSPECTOR’S AID.
*"'••• •‘‘■que t for aid un
der the Senate bill recently
passed by the Alaska Legis
lature, creating the office of
Commissioner of Transportat
ion for prospectors, was re
ceived recently by Secretary
Karl Thiele, from A .Gran
drau, who said that he was a
bona fide prospector of 30
years standing both in the Yu
kon and Southeastern Alaska.
He said that he and his part
ner had not sufficient fund3
for a grubstake to enable
them to develop the gold-bear
ing quartz ledge which they
discovered in October, 1926.
The quartz, according to Mr.
Grandeau’s letter, assays at
more than $1,000.00 per ton.
He said that they “have not
located it yet as there will be
a stampede as soon as it is
made public.” They reach the
property in a small gas boat
and a skiff using the latter for
the last fifty miles.
WRANGELL REFUSES
TO BOND CITY
At a special election held in
the city of Wrangell recently
on the question of bonding the
town in the sum of $50,000
for school purposes, the pro
posal was defeated by a vote
of 74 to 53. The proposition
of issuing bonds in the sum of
$30,000 for improvement of
the municipal water works
system was also defeated by
a vote of 66 to 62.
GOOD OIL OUTLOOK
AT YAKATAGA
Oil drilling at Yakataga
Beach, about sixty miles from
Yakutat, is progressing splen
didly. The General Petroleum
Company is now dov/n over
1500 feet, and it is expected
oil will be struck at any time.
Oil seepages may be seen for
over 20 miles along the beach.
The drilling has been going
along slowly because of sand
stone .struck about 1200 feet
underground, the rock being
so hard that little progress can
be made. It is rumored in Yak
utat that M. J .Sullivan ,who
left several months ago for the
east to raise money for furth
er work ,has been successful
and will come north shortly
with a drill .which will be in
stalled this summer.
