DEVELOPMENT
OF COAL MINE |
Falcon Joslin, president of the Ber
ing River Coal Company, has returned
to Cordova from a trip of inspection
to the mine, and when intei’rogated
by a Daily Times representative as
to the work being done there, he
said:
“Development at the coal mine is
progressing under Superintendent
Jones, and the prospects are en
couraging. Mr. George Watkin Ev
ans, consulting engineer for the com
pany, is now on the ground to study
and advise on the development. We
have about thirty men employed and
expect to increase the force to forty
men, and continue work through the
winter.
“We are developing three principal
veins of coal and have at present 1100
feet of rock tunnel and about 700
feet of gangways, in the aggregate,
on the different coal veins. There
is between 300 and 400 feet of tunnel
on vein No. 16 showing clean coal
from eight to fifteen feet thick. On
vein No. 11 there is about 120 feet of
tunnel. This vein varies from eight
feet to three feet in thickness. On
vein No. 13 there is only about fifty
feet driven. The coal varies greatly
in thickness. Just now there is about
nine feet of coal in the face of the
tunnel. In addition to this under
ground work we have done a lot of
surface work to prove the extent of
the veins.
“The quality of the coal is excel
lent, and all the veins seem about the
same. The coal is very clean, hav
ing no clay or bone in it, and con
sequently is very low in ash. We
have 400 or 500 tons of good, clean
coal on the dumps, but have been
able to haul very little to the landing
for lack of a good road. A few sacks
distributed at Katalla have been tried
and pronounced excellent by the peo
ple there. The formation has been
much disturbed and squeezed, result
ing in the veins showing great thick
ening and thinning in short distances.
It is probable also that much fault
ing will be found, but we hope none
so bad we cannot overcome them.
This condition, however, makes it
necessary to carry out much more ex
tensive underground work to definite
i ly prove the mine. It will probably
require at least another year’s devel
opment before the mine can be thor
oughly proven.
“I have great confidence that we
are going to make a good commercial
mine, which will be an important
factor in the future development of
Alaska. Also that we shall be able
to produce an excellent naval coal.’’
