ASSOCIATED OIL MAKING
HEADWAY WITH OIL WELL
Eight hundred and fifty feet is
the depth of one of the holes now
being drilled by the Associated Oil
Company on the drilling grounds
near Kanatak, the newest oil camp.
according to statements by Attorney
John F. Coffee, who arived in Sew
' ard last week aboard the steamship
Admiral Watson on his way to Anch
orage. Two holes are being sunk by
the Associated Oil Comapny says
the Seward Gateway and the second
hole is dow-n to a depth of 475 feet.
The Standard Oil company which
experienced considerable difficultay
with its drilling on account of the
formation through which the drill
ing is being carried on is now down
to a depth of 275 feet. The progress
being made now by the Associated
Oil Company is highly satisfactory
to the officials of the company, hav
ing passed through the extremely
hard capping which is known :
1 glomerate. In order to straighten
out the hole being drilled, the Stan
: dard Oil Company resort to powder
j was necessary, and several blasts
were shot before the hole was final
ly straightened. Phil B. Reed, super
I intendent of the Standard now feels
that the greatest difficulty has been
1 encountered and successfully over
' come and that from now on much
; better results in drilling will be had.
The Alaska Road Commission is
prosecuting its work of road build
ing with vigor and is giving employ
ment to every available laboring
man in the new camp. The work of
, the Commission, being carried on in
1! conjunction with the two oil com
, panies, under the supervision of
. | George Spangler, when completed
•1 will give a first class road extend
.! ing from the town of Kantak to the
i oil fields a distance of 17 miles.
. 1 There is a local shortage of labor
j for this road building work and a
! telegraphic request for twenty men
' was sent out ten days ago to Anch
r orage, every available man in the
' j camp is a: work, either with the
' | Road Commission or with the Oil
! Company. The going wage with the
’■Oil Companies is six dollars per day
and board and four dollars per day
• and board with the Road Commission
