GOTWALS SAYS DRILLS WILL
BE DELAYED IN COLD BAY
That drilling by the Standard
and Associated Oil companies in
the Cold Bay field will be delayed
sometime and will probably not be
gin before June, next year.is the op
inion of Col. J. r Gotwals, chief
Engineer Officer of the Alaska
Road Commirion, who recently spent
several days at Kanatak and went
out to the claims where the first
wells are to be drilled.
Transportation handicaps form
the principal cause for delays en
countered by the oil interests. The
route to the field from Kar.atak
leads directly over a high pass bac.-;
of Kanatak which greatly cuts down
the operating capacity of the trac
tors used in hauling freight. Owing
to the steep grade over this pas?,
each tractor is limited to two tor.;
per load. The Standard 0:1 alone
has about 700 tons to be freighted
in to the claims and has but two ma
chines available for the work. Both
companies are now transporting
their equipment and supplies to the
scene of future drilling.
There is little question as to the
bringing in of producing wells in the
opinion of the oil engineers on the
ground. There is some talk by them
and others of a refinery being es
tablished there by :he Standard Oil
Company but nothing definite could
be lean ed about the matter.
There are about 150 tpen at Kar.
atak. And any stampede to the
district at this ilrr.e. said Colonel
Gotwals. would be inadvisable. Per
sons going there this winter should
be prepared to take care of them
selves as r.o work will be available.
Some staking i? going on westward
on the peninsula, in the direction
of Chignik, and the drilling starts
..ext spring it is expected there will
h> - a considerable rush.
Interior conditions to improve,
said Colonel Gotwtals. Fairbanks
looks better and expects continued
improvement It is known that :he
prospecting done during the past
summer on various creeks in the
district and ^the options taken on
placer ground there W’as for the
Hammond interests that recently en
tered Nome. The entry of these in
terests in the Fa rbanks districe is
believed to be virtually assured and
they are expected to put in a num
ber of dredges, beginning next sum
mer.Their options are good until
next June.
There is considerable activity in
the Copper Mountain districe, ;r. Mt.
McKinley National Pari-: Many
claims have been staked and it is
believed that Aiken and Price wiil
develop a big mine on the ground
-ecured by them there last summer.
Joe Quigley is developing a proper
ty on Eureka Creek that is said to
look promising. He has closed a
deal with Hawley Sterling, Superin
tendent for the Alaska Road Com
mission in the Fairbanks district.

a thousand additional Alaskan tour

made by the steamship companies
to lengthen the tourist season one
month
