COAL FIELDS
OF ALASKA
i
George Watkins Evans, one of the
best informed coal mining engineers
l) on the Pacific coast, now engaged in
private engineering work with offices
in Seattle, who for years was con
nected with the United States bureau
of mines, has just returned from a
professional ti’ip to New York city,
* called there for a conference with
financial interests with regard to the
coal mining industry, present and
prospective, in the West and in
Alaska. As a result of this visit Mr.
Evans has been commissioned to make
a comprehensive report on the coal
mining industry in California. Oregon,
Washington, British Columbia and
Alaska. This report, which will take
months to complete, will deal with the
demonstrated coal areas in the West
and with the prospective though un
developed coal areas in Alaska.
The report will deal with the im
portant factors of the industry in the
known coal regions, such as quantity,
quality, cost of production, transporta
tion facilities, markets, etc., as well
as the commercial possibilities of the
great coal-hearing regions of the
v North.
Mr. Evans is perhaps the best in
formed man concerning the coal re
gions of Alaska. Years ago he had
charge of the mining of some eight
hundred tons of coal taken from the
Matanuska fields to be used as test
by the United States navy. Two
years ago he served as a member of
^ federal commission that investi
' gated the Matanuska fields on behalf
of the interior department.
Mr. Evans is a sourdough of the
Northland. When in his teens he
joined the great stampede to the
Klondike in 1897, packed his own out
fit over Chilkoot pass, and passed the
winter in the great gold camp.
ALASKANS ORGANIZE
BANK IN SEATTLE
The Bank of Europe is the name of
a financial institution which is in
process of organization, with every
J^'fesurance of being a pronounced suc
cess, in the city of Seattle. This new
institution is of particular interest to
A^tskans because the organizers are
two prominent sourdoughs of the
Northland—Colonel W. T. Perkins,
formerly of Nome, and Danilo Vuce
tich, late of Anchorage. These gen
tlemen form the bank’s organizing
committee, and have opened offices
in the Pioneer building, room 628,
where an almost constant stream of
people, among them many Alaskans,
daily make their appearance.
The Bank of Europe is capitalized
Jfet $150,000, with an undivided profits
1 fund of $30,000. Shares are selling
at $120, $100 of which will go to the
capital stock fund and $20 to the un
divided profits fund.
AfcASKA MINING MAN
BONDS PROPERTIES
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
■William Martin, the Seattle lawyer
and Alaska mining man, has taken an
option to purchase the entire holdings
of the Taylor Mining Company, Lim.,
the Alice Arm mining district,
British Columbia, which includes the
famous Dolly Varden silver mine and
the Wolf mine, and a railroad which
runs from Alice Arm to the Dolly
Varden mine, and which is graded as
far as the Wolf mine. This deal calls
for an aggregate payment of $2,000,
000, $500,000 of which must be paid
befofe January 31, 1920. Eleven min
ing claims are involved in the trans
action.
&r. Martin also has taken an op
tion to purchase the North Star claim,
a remarkable showing which lies ad
joining the Dolly Varden group. This
option was obtained from James Mc
Aleenan, Antonio Zarelli and Dram
ante Zarilli, who in turn bonded it
from the original locators, Gustaf
Pearson and O. Evindsen. The Martin
option calls for a consideration of
$275,000.
Mr. Martin owns, by right of loca
tion, the Kistol No. 1 and No. 2 claims,
tb^J Sportsman claim, the Maude Mc
Phee claim and the Summit No. 1 and
No. 2 claims. These claims were the
second locations made in the Alice
Arm mining district, and were made
years ago.
ELLIS MINE AT VALDEZ
INVOLVED IN SUIT
The taking of certain testimony in
the case of Messrs. Smith and Treat
vs. “Red” Ellis, owner of the famous
Cliff gold mines at Valdez bay, has
been concluded in Seattle, and the
matter will come up for trial before
Federal Judge Robert W. Jennings
at Juneau in the near future. The
plaintiffs are suing Ellis for an un
divided one-fifth interest in the mine.
Judge Thomas R. Lyons and Judge
Smith, a party to the suit, are repre
senting the plaintiffs, and Maurice D.
Leehey is looking after the interests
of Mr. Ellis.
In a former action Judge Jennings
ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, but
the circuit court of appeals granted
the defendant’s plea for retrial. Hence
the present action.
