COAL AND OIL
FIELDS ARE
During her recent stay in Katalla.
from which she returned last Thurs
day, Miss Margaret Kolbenson made
several side trips to the coal mines
and oil fields. Of her excursions to
the Berring River Coal Camp she
says:
“Leaving Katalla in a gasboat, we
made our way south-east across the
bar which stretches from Wigham
Island to the mainland, passed the
Hoonah cannery at Chilcat. up the
Bering River to Shepherd Creek, up
Shepherd Creek to Canoe Landing—
25 miles in all. From the landing
we hiked four miles across flats built
up by the tide and dotted with cotton
I woods.
“About noon we reached the coal
camp, where we ate a hearty meal
cocked by George Ito. who used
to be chef at the Cordova hos
pital- He is a wonderful cook.
“We put on miners’ caps with elec
tric safety lamps on them—the bat
teries we fastened around our belts—
and explored two of the well-ventil
ated tunnels. The coal veins were
bright black, and many of them
very wide. The time the camp has
been in existence speaks well for the
men who have had charge of it, and
for the future of the district affected
by this industry.
“A sawmill is running to turn out
timber for the road to Canoe Land
ing. This coal will be loaded into
buckets holding a ton each, hauled
by auto truck to Canoe Landing, load
ed on scows and conveyed out by
lighters to the steamships. It looks
as if the road would be finished by
August. The big truck arrived on the
last boat.
“The coal is excellent for steam
ship use. coking easily and giving an
intense heat with almost no smoke.
“Although the four women of our
party were the first to visit the camp,
it had that neatness and ‘homey’ look
that is ^supposed to mark the influ
ence of woman. Altogether it was
a most interesting day. At 11:30 we
had chocolate and cake, then slept
until six—that tyrant of the deep, the
tide having decreed that hour the
latest at which we could arise with
any hope of making our way back to
Katalla without getting stuck on the
bar.
Anotner trip we maae dv gasuuai
to Goose City, 15 miles down the coast
from Katalla. Goose City has one
house and a population of two. The
country here is glacial moraine and
sand banks bulit up by the tide. A
queer looking wood-burning engine,
nicknamed “Ole,” stood there at the
end of the wide guage railroad. We
got on a gasoline speeder and away
we went, twenty-one miles to the
Davis Coal mine. Here we explored
two tunnels, went up into a side
vein, where I picked out some coal,
and road out in a tram car. We
great enjoyed a dinner cooked
by a paragon of a Chinese cook named
Max. On the way back to Goose City
next day we stopped the speeder at
the Bering river and walked over the
moraine towards the Bering Glacier
If you dig down in the moraine about
two feet you will strike eternal ice.
Well, the glacier was farther away
than it looked- so we contented our
selves with a two-hour ramble over
the heaps of rock—on which we found
a ptarmigan’s nest with nine eggs
i in it, and saw tracks of bears and
wolverines—and then made our way
back to our waiting speeder.
“Across the bay from Katalla,
about two miles, and up a winding
slough, are the oilfields and the re
finery. Oil could be seen in the black
pools in the low ground. I saw sev
eral seepages. The ground is brown
llack and spongy looking. One of
the wells had been drilled to a depth
of 1400 feet—far below the sea level,
of course—distallate, fuel oil, etc.,
vaporize at different temperatures,
sach product is piped off, at its point
af vaporization, into pipes covered
with cold water. Here it condenses
ind runs out pure into its proper I
:anlt.
“The residue, a dark, waxy sub-1
stance, called paraffine, is put into1
m immense tank. From it will be
made vaseline and other products, but
since the demand for the fuel oils is
so great, the work at present is con- 1
fined to getting out the greatest pos- j
sible amount of . them. I chewed a
bit of the paraffine. It was quite'
taseteless—a proof of the unusually,
high grade of the oil.”

PAYNE FAVORS
BILL FOR OIL
DEVELOPMENT
WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 29 (by
Associated Press).—Secretary of the
Interior Payne in a report to the sen
ate public lands committee just made
public indorses Senator James D.
Phelan’s bill, which authorizes the
formation of the United States Oil
Corporation- The measure is planned
to develop the oil resources of for
eign countries so as to insure an ade
quate supply of oil for the United
States.
“The purpose of the legislation,”
said Secretary Payne,” is to provide
the means for further promoting the
world-wide search for oil. The public
need of an assured supply of oil is so
great that the federal government
stands back of the endeavor to devel
op foreign sou f ees of oil to replace in
the future what America has exported
in the past.”
The Phelan bill provides that the
United States Oil Corporation shall be
controlled by a board of nine directors
appointed by the president, and the
corporation can explore, develop, re
fine, transport and store oil and its
products in foreign countries subject
to the preferential right of the United
States to take all of the supply at any
time at market prices.
American citizens must own the
majority of the stock, but foreign
citizens can hold minority stock.
YOUTHFUL BURGLAR
CAUGHT IN A TRAP
j
PLAINS. Mont., June 29 (by Asso
ciated Press).—M. J. Garrett, a night
watchman in a local store, went to his
clothes closet, in the dark, to hang up j
his overcoat. Instead of the expected
peg, his fingers found the nose of a|
burglar. Garrett captured his “man,”
who proved to be a boy of 19 and who
gave his name as William Graham, of
Russ City, Minn. Graham said he was
beating his way west and had not
meant to steal anything but food. He
was bound over to the district court.
