PLANS PERFECTED
TO HUNT FOR OIL;
FUNDS AVAILABLE
Plans have been perfected in San
Francisco and Seattle by which four
trained geologists, ••borrowed" from
the big oil corporations of Califor
nia and Texas and backed by $3,
500,000 of San Francisco, Seattle
and New York capital, will begin
immediately in the Alaska oil fields
a hunt for large oil pools of 45
degrees gravity oil and net in gaso
line and various high-priced lubri
cants which Dr. J. C. Martin of
the U. S. geological survey and
Major Albert C. Brooks of the bu
reau of mines are positive can be
found there.
New people are engaged in this
expensive search and they expect as
a reward the development of wells
rivaling those of Pennsylvania in
gravity, quality and value.
Two companies have started this
quest, one being the Chilkat Oil
corporation of Falcon Joslin and
his New York associates. They
have subscribed $1,000,000 cash.
San Francisco Company.
The other company is controlled
by prominent San Franciscans. The
latter, it became known recently
with the arrival of H. It. Harriman,
of Washington, D. C., and Seattle,
at San Francisco, have organized
the Alaska Consolidated Oil Fields,
with a charter from the state of
Washington and a cash capital of
$2,500,000.
There are 1,000,000 acres of po
tention oil lands in Alaska, says
the San Francisco Examiner, and
the latter company, under the new
leasing act of Congress, has acquired
title to 6,000 acres near Cook inlet
and close to the rich coal fields
where the same rich formation ex
ists as is found in the Pennsylvania
oil and coal region
Five Oil Region*.
There are five known oil regions j
in the territory extending from Cook J
inlet and the region of the Alaska
railroad over to Cape Yakataga on
the east.
Falcon Joslin’s Chilkat company is
already producing 100 barrels a day,
which at a small refinery is pro
ducing enough gasoline and distil
late to make each barrel have a
gross value of $10 or $12.
Near by is the San Franciscans'
property, and it is the San Fran
ciscans and their Seattle and East
ern associates who have determined
on a scientific drive to find what
they believe will be one of the big
oil pools of the world in 45-degree
gravity oil.
Official* Named.
B. L. Thane of San Francisco is
vice-president and managing director
of the Alaska Consolidated Oil
Fields, while Judge Frederick Baus
man of Seattle is the president and
H. G. Peake of San Francisco is the
vice-president and manager. William
L. Bayless, also of San Francisco,
is treasurer.
Other San Francisco people in
the company are Walter W. John
son, William H. Christie, Frank R.
Short, and William H. Esterbrook.
H. R. Harriman, of Washington,
D. C., and Seattle, is a partner and
also the company’s legal adviser.
Esterbrook and his father are con
sidered the gold dredge kings of the
world and have the world’s largest
gold dredge in California. Short
and Thane have international repu
tations as mining engineers.
Christie, the only mayor Emery
ville has ever had, is one of the
millionaire mining men of the West;
so are Johnson and Peake. It was
the latter three who organized the
Union Construction company during
the war, which has a shipbuilding
yard on the Oakland waterfront.
Adviser* to Congress.
Harriman and former Governor
James N. Gillett, now living in
Berkeley, are credited with being
the chief advisers to Congress in
drafting the recently enacted leasing
bill for oil, coal and potash lands.
Under the latter law, Alaska is
shown favors, as no rookies or
rentals are required by the Govern
ment for five years after oil is dis
covered.
Because of this exemption and
the good oil prospects, the people i
concerned feel justified in spendir.se
$3,500,000 to exploit this Northern
oil land.
j “Yes, it is true we have jriven a
cash paid-up capital of $3,500,000
to the New Alaska Consolidated Oil]
[Fields to develop oil pools we are |
.confident can be found on the com
pany's land," said Harriman. “It is
a close corporation and an inde
pendent one. Larpre American oil
[companies have ‘loaned’ us some of |
! their greolopists and they will bejrin j
their quest for the pools immedi
ately.
| “It is a costly scientific search,
'and some of the best brains in the
world say we are on the rigrht track.
Predict Big Pools.
“We believe Alaska is point: to
.be a great new source for pasoline
’and varied lubricants. There is al
I
; ready a big: market in Alaska for
| distillate. There are hundreds of
fishing: smacks there and each one
uses $1,700 worth of distillate each
season.”
