ALASKA COAL
FOR STATES
OF THE WEST
Prof. Alan M. Bateman, a geologist
of national repute, who has made fre
quent visits to Cordova is interviewed
by the Sunday Register of New Hav
en, Conn., and he says among other
things .that the western states will
derive great benefit from the Bering
River coal fields. The article fol
lows :
In far off Alaska there is no H. C.
L problem to face when you want a
chunk of ice for you.- glass of ginger
ale, or a block of if to keep your re
j fr'gerator cool in summer's hottest
days. The ice barons would starve
if they tried to put a monopoly in
thai section of the IT. S. A. They
wouldn’t even be able to give icej
away. * j
Prof. Alan M. Bateman, teacher of
economic geology at Yale, spends a
great deal of his time in Alaska doing
research work for various interests
in connection with coal, copper and
other resources of the territory. A
Register man spent an interesting'
Jialf hour with him the other day lis
tening to an account of some of the
important features of one of Ameri
co’s wealthiest sections.
“Alongside the town of Kennecott”,
said Prof. Bateman, “runs a big
glacier. Whenever a housewife runs
short of ice, she sends Willie over to
the glacier with the family pick and
tells him to bring home a 25-pound
piece in his express wagon. Out there
the people have no need for the fa
miliar ice card seen around the win
dows of New Haven homes.”
The Childs and Miles glaciers are
| among the most beautiful in Alaska,
I the former being a wall of ice 300 feet
j high. It is a remarkable sight when
one views a glacier in midsummer
sparkling in the sunlight, with the
surrounding country covered with a
profusion of beautiful wild flowers.
Prof. Bateman’s mission to Kenne
cott was a geologic investigation of
ore deposits for the Kennecott Cop
per Corporation. The mines there are
the largest and richest copper mines
in the world, ahd the amount of cop
per available in them is almost with
out limit. “The way they get the
copper from the mines down to the
town is most interesting,” Prof.
Bateman continued, “the mines are
situated 4,000 feet above Kennecott!
and the ore as well as the human
freight is carried in buckets which
travel up and down huge cables which
trip three miles long.”
On Prof. Bateman’s last trip to
Alaska he looked into the commercial
possibilities of the Controller Bay
coal field, and examined its geological
structure. It is more than possible
that our western states will derive
great benefit from this field. It is lo
cated in the vicinity of the Bering!
river and contains a high grade bi
tuminous coal. Prof. Bateman found
more surface coal but doesn’t know if
there is enough under ground to make
it pay to spend several millions of
dollars for a railroad to tap it. The
Copper River and North Western, a
Morgan-Guggenheim line, is the near
est to the Controller Bay field. Rex
Beach’s “Iron Trail” has, by the way,
the territory served by this line for 1
its setting. Already prospectors are
tunnelling and working on the black
diamonds in the Controller Bay sec
tion.
Mention of the Morgan-Guggen
heim road brought the government
railroad in Alaska to mind, and the
reporter asked how it was getting
along. Prof. Bateman replied: “The
history of the government road in
Alaska has been one of mismanage
ment but the aspect is brighter to
day than it has been since work was
started in 1915. Col. Mears, who was
in charge of the U. S. railroads in
France, is now at the helm, and will)
probably have the road completed in
1920 or 1921. The road was poorly
laid out and there are big gaps be
tween the sections so it is still im
possible to travel from Seward, on
the coast, to Fairbanks, the inland
terminal. No section of the road is
on a commercial basis as yet. One
part of it has been completely washed
away and there is a bridge along the
line that is destroyed by glacial ac
tion every year. The railroads in
Alaska must contend with the fury of
the glacial streams.”
The U. S. government road and the
Morgan-Guggeheim line afford an in
teresting comparison. The former has
been under construction for four
years and is far from finished and a
fortune has been spent an it, the lat
ter, constructed by private interests,
was well laid out, completed in rea
sonable time, and is being efficiently
operated.
