FORT NORMAN OIL DISTRICT
IS MAKING GOOD SHOWING
Big things are expected of the
far northern Fort Norman oil field,
on the Canadian side of rthe bound
ary, according to H. McGregor, who
arrived from the headwaters of the
Porcupine river this week, enroute
to the States, after a season spent
in searching for a “lost” paystreak
in the Arctic wilderness. The Por
cupine river is one of the routes to
the oil field and the McGregor party
met a number of people during the
summer who were on their way out
from the district.
Fort Norman boasts a gusher
which! is throwing several thousand
barrels of high grade oil daily, a lot
of which is being lost because of in
adequate means of handling the
flow. Another well is reported to
have been brought in lately and the
outlook for a considerable produc
tion is considered most encouraging
So bright is Ithe outlook, in fact,
that engineers are already figuring
on a pipe line to carry the oil from
the field to Prince Rupert, a pro
ject that will involve an investment
of approximately $14,000,000. It is
claimed that if the present yield can
be doubled, the construction of the
pipe line will be warranted. It is
said that only one pumping Station
would be required on the entire line.
A number of trappers were met
during the summer and all of them
appeared to have done fairly well.
All of the fur from that remote
section of tue territory finds its way
to Fort Yukon, on the Yukon river.
The catch included a large number
| of marten and muskrats. Game of
; nearly all kinds common to the In
I terior. is plentiful along the Porcu- j
i pine, v. ith comparatively few hunters
1 in the hills, although the natives
| make regular excursions af. er meat.
I Mr. McGregor made a trip to the
j upper Porcupine a year ago. in
j company with Gordon Betties, in
! quest of a paystreak discovered
| long ago. But they were unable to
1 locate i: and Mr. McGregor came
; back this year, with additional in
formation, to resume the search. He
was not inclined to go into details
regarding the trip, but intimated
that he had met with encourage
ment. He will return to Alaska
again next spring for another trip
j into that section.
Mrs. W. LaGuers, of 521S Por
| Chester Avenue, Chicago, 111., is
making inquiry for her brother, Hil
man Kristiansen, a native of Nor
way. The missing man is a surveyor
and is supposed to be in Alaska.

HAWLEY STERLING TO MINE
IN KANTISHNA THIS WINTER °
Superintendent Hawley W. Sterl
ing, of the Alaska Road Commission,
will engage in mining in the Kan
tishna district during the coming
winter, having recently closed a deal
for the operation of the Quigley
galena property on a leasing basis.
Mr. Sterling, who is now in Nenana
on his way to the Kantishna, informs
The News that he has made all ar
rangements to begin taking out ore
and will start work as soon as he
gets on the ground. He is not quit
ting the road building organization,
his Kantishna venture being in the
nature of a vacation uip. He is
supposed to report back to the com
mission next spring to resume his
regular duties.
It is the intention of Mr. Sterling
.o take out considerable ore during
the winter, and to haul it across
country to toe Alaska Railroad by
means of tractors, an experiment he
has been anxious to make for sever
al years. He will deliver the ore at
Kobi station.
All of the ore heretofore mined
in the Kantishna district has been
hauled ‘to Roosevelt during the win
ter and moved from that point by
boat during the summer. If the plans
of Mr. Sterling work out success
fully, hard rock mining in the Kan
tishna district will be given a great
impetus for if. will then be possible
for operators to get almost immed
iate returns from their shipments,
instead of waiting a year or more
to get their ore to market.
SALVATION ARMY TO MAKE
DRIVE FOR FUNDS TOMORROW
Adjutant W. Kerr, financial re
presentative of the Salvation Army
in Alaska, who arrived from Fair
banks on Tuesday, has completed
arrangements for conducting a drive
for funds in Xenana and will make
(the rounds of the town tomorrow.
He will be assisted in the work by
a committee of local citizens. Capt.
C. G. Jones, who was in France
during the war and who knows by
personal experience what the Sal
vation Army did for the boys “over
there”, has volunteered to look af
ter the drive in railroad circles.
The drive which is being made is;
for the purpose of enabling the
Army to carry on its relief and up
lift work in .Alaska another year, j
The work of the organization is con-]
lined to the coast districts, where it
finds much to do among natives as
well as whites, and the work is ap
preciated wherever there are repre
sentatives of die big organization.
Fairbanks contributed more than
$1,200 to the cause and N'enana
undoubtedly will welcome the op
portunity to assist in the worthy
underbaking. The Salvationists have
demonstrated that they are worthy
of the most liberal support.
