Falcon Joslin. president of the

arrival in Cordova last night from
Seattle on the steamship Northwest

some delay in the building of a tow
boat and two barges, which should
have left Seattle by June 15. loaded
with supplies, to be used in connec
tion with the distribution of Alaska
coal to points along this coast. How
ever, this equipment should he here
next month. In the meantime a motor
1 truck road is being built from the
Trout Creek coal mines to Bering
Lake. The highway will be of wood
en planks laid on stringers and ties,
and will be used for the purpose of
hauling coal from the mines to the
lake, where it will be placed on sea
going barges and conveyed to the
local Alaskans markets at Katalla,
— si
Cordova, Valdez and Juneau. A few
small shipments may be sent to Seat- 5$

COAL CLEANING PLANT 5$

The company also will install a J
small coal cleaning plant with a cap- • :$
acity of about fifty tons a day In 5$

these mines ranks among the highest
in the United States, and should a J:j;
sufficient body of it be developed,
the motor truck highway will be fol
lowed by the construction of a rail
road to connect with the Copper River !§•:
& Northwestern at a point about forty •£:
miles from Cordova. |||
“We have done about $200,000 2^:
worth of development work,” said
Mr. Joslin, “ and in the main tunnel |:*:;
have cut several coal veins, some of j|
them several feet in thickness. But • :&
the country is somewhat folded, and
we are not yet sure that we have
♦ *V
sufficient tonnage to warrant the
construction of a railroad. We will
market what we have for the present
by trucking it to tidewater. This
is a temporary method.
HARD TO GET LABOR j |g:
“Development in that region is
slow because of the difficulty in ob
taining labor. When the recent in
crease of 14 percent to miners was
decided upon, we already were pay
ing a wage much higher than that
given to miners in the United States,
but they all walked out just the
same. However, -we are getting along
slowly and cut another vein a few
days ago.
“In the meantime the Chilkat Oil
company will continue drilling a
number of wells. The company has
one patented claim, and while we
have not yet entered into any lease
with the government, the regulations
formulated by Secretary Payne are
reasonable and sensible, and there is
no bar to operation under them. We
expect to apply for additional terri
tory. Secretary Payne is entitled to
considerable credit for the prompt
ness in making the land available un
der the law. His action in the case
was conspicously different from the
usual leisurely departmental method.”
