BIG ST. ELIAS
LIGHTHOUSE IS
ABOUTFINISHED
KATALLA, Sept. 25.—That the big
light in the new Cape St. Elias light
house will begin flashing its rays far
out to sea within a few days is the
word brought to Katalla by F. J. Doh
rere, foreman of construction, who
has come to town with most of his
crew. A small force of mechanics was
left at the cape to complete installa
tion of the machinery and adjustment
of the light.
When this is done, the most import
ant and best piece of construction
work the lighthouse service has ever i
attempted in Alaska will be ready for
full operation. The station grounds
will be graded and terraced next year.
The St. Elias lighthouse is the most
substantial the government owns in
Alaska. The light tower, fog signal
and storage plant are made entirely
of reinforced concrete. The watch
tower and lantern are of cast iron and
bronze. The dwelling, boat house and
hoist house are beautifully construct
ed of cement, brick made on the
ground by the lighthouse workers
themselves, and every department is
equipped with the best modern facili
ties obtainable.
Because of the Pinnacle Rock, just
off the cape, the fog trumpet is dou
ble-mouthed to prevent re-echoing.
The tower is equipped with a lense of
the third order. It has an effective
range of 15 miles, but in good weather
can be seen in 30 miles.
When the grounds about the station
are terraced and in lawn the St. Elias
station will be one of the show places
of Alaska, both from point of scenery
and beauty of construction. The sta
wvu *o i/uiiti v/ik uic ouuui cuu vi ivaj cuv
island under the lee of the Great
White cape, known locally as White
stone. From an elevation of 100 feet
it looks out upon one of the unique
formations of the Pacific coast—Pin
nacle rock, a stony black fang of the
deep, 500 feet high.
This monster tooth is surrounded
by countless sunken rocks and from
the base starts the jagged reef that
runs five miles out into the north Pa
cific ocean and makes St. Elias one of
the most dangerous points on the
Alaska run. The breakers from each
side of the cape come crashing togeth
er at this point, making of the ocean
a boiling, roaring, awe-inspiring spec
tacle in times of storm.
When the station was planned the
service figured that it would take
three years for completion, but Doh
rer, who has had entire charge of the
construction, is leaving it practically
finished, and with the light burning at
the end of two years—a wonderful
record in a country where supplies are
so hard to get and handle.
Dohrer tells of unearthing interest
ing relics of former occupancy of the
cape. In excavating for the fog sig
nal station, he was obliged to c”t
down a group of six spruce trees
about 35 feet high. At a depth of ten
feet, after taking out the roots of
these trees, he came upon a large iron
hoop embedded in the clay formation.
It was much corroded, but was far
larger than any Alaska hoop of the
present day, being more than three
inches in width and exceedingly hea
vy.
He also found a silver ring, evident
ly beaten out by hand and like most
Indian rings, but joined at the back.
As the cape has from time immemor
ial been a favorite location for the
Indian and Russian sea otter hunters,
these things must have belonged to
the natives who hunted long before
Alaska was sold to the United States.
The cape is not without historical
interest, also, as it was about three
miles from here on the south side of
the island that Captain James Cook,
in his search for the northwest pas
sage, landed and after exploring a
bit, placed some coins of his time, to
gether with a paper on which he wrote
the name of the island, in a bottle and
buried the same at the base of a large
tree that crowned the small hill near
the beach.
