\i last a lease has been granted on
th" famous Bering Itlver eoal fields In
Alaska After twelve years of patient
waiting some pioneer Alaskans have
been granted the right and every of
ficial of the Department of the In
! teiior is to be congratulated as It Is
I the tirst move towards the real de
! vel'ipment of that section of the ter
1 fit n .v. Fab on Joslln through the Bcr
j ing Itiver Coal company of which he
11 is the president, has been granted a
j lease to blocks IS, lit, 2(1, 22, 2.1, and
; 24 in the Bering Itlver coal fields sur
! 'ey. representing 2.420 acres qjl told.
J This area is located betwee? Bake
| Charlotte and Kushtaka Bake, which
[as old time Alaskans know, is quite
■ accessible. Carbon Camp, which is to
he renamed Bering, being jjjst 28
miles from the Coper Itlver & North
western railway, the route being fair
ly easy for rail construction. . Presi
dent Joslln has appointed F. R. Van
Cam pen superintendent, he being a
well-known mining engineer operating
in various localities in Alaska. He
has already left for the works with
some men and supplies with instruc
tions to begin development wo* im
mediately.
It will be recalled that the old Eng
lish company which for many years
attempted to develop this ground, had
accomplished considerable in the way
of preliminary development work and
at the time it was said that the strip
ping had fairly demonstrated the
value and extent of the coal vein.
Mr. Joslin. however, is wisely refrain
ing from any announcement, merely
stilting thill lie ami liis associates are
willing to take i t bailee, that they
ti l ' ■ " Mi. ' t in re is it i cal slip- '
ply located in tlicit ground which is
ortli .vhlle iineovcring and that for1
; the M ; i. . months only develop
i incut work ’ ill I"* unshed. Inn it is.
Imped Ity the management that by
text -iitinci tile are.i will have been
so thoroughly prospected anti the de
velopment pushed to such extent that
it will then be determined Just what
the value of the coal vein itiux. be.
Then
the Coper Hiver road will be dis
cussed. For the present it is enough
lo say that .Mr. Joslin has succeeded
in financing the company and will use
every effort to quickly determine the
future worth of the ground.
At the same time Mr. Joslin bus
reorganized the old St. Elias (til com
pany as the Chilkat Oil company.
C.eorge llazelet of Cordova is man
ager of litis organization and lias be
gun work of thoroughly inspecting the
1 ground located hack of Controller bay
I and the same plan of procedure will
In* adopted to ascertain the extent
ami value or the oil In the ground.
The announcement of these plans has
caused no little enthusiasm at Cor
dova. From 1906 to 1911, the period
of construction of the railroad, Cor
dova enjoyed a construction bourn
similar to the prosperity attending
any great Railroad construction at
' the base of supplies. Following ihe
I completion of the road and the de
| parture of several thousand working
| men, the reaction set in and for the
| two years 1912 and 1913 merchants
and others severeW felt the changed
| conditions. Since the end of 1913.
however, the town has been greatly
developing its industries on a sub
stantial basis. Clam and salmon can
neries with tin* increased movement
ol copper ore through Ihe town being
largely responsible for this condition
which has today made it one of the
, most reliable and substantial towns
| on the Alaskan coast. The entire oil
and coal area, generally known as
the Bering Hover section Is nuturally
tributary to Cordova and their suc
cessful development would mean
everything to that port. It is natural,
therefore, that those Cordovans who
have pinned their faith to the town
and remained there through good and
bad times should now feel jubilant
at the mere prospect of the develop
ment of the rich oil fields lying at
their door. If this company should
be successful In developing a,work
able mine of marketable coal and at l
the name time have equal success in
proving the oil supply. It will eventu
ally be one of the most important in
dustrial events in the history of the
terlrtory.
Aside front supplying the local de
mand and proving the incentive to the
construction of smelters, bunkers and
other industries at Cordova, the fu
ture expansion of trade between the
United Stales and the Orient will
make It possible for a coaling station
to be established at some available
site far oat on the Alaska peninsula
oi on one o| (he islands of the .Men
tion group. This Is one of the most
eneouraging prospects as the shortest
route between Seattle and Yokohama
is the one that is nearest to the Aleu
tian islands, and liv having a coaling
station in that locality for use of ail
fraiis-l’aeilic steamships would reduce
the hunker space and increase the
cargo space of each steamship It is
no * surprising therefore, that the pros- I
pect of the opening of these coal
fields Is cause for congratulation to
the officials tit Washington respons
ible for granting the lease and tin
Mr. Joslin and associates, who have
been granted the privilege and to
whom lies! wishes tire being extend
ed for their full success in proving i
the worth of the ground and building1
up another great industry for Alaska.
