GEOLOGIST VISITS OIL BELT;
NO TIME TO STUDY REGION
! Among the visitors in town this
j week were Dr. and Mrs. George C.
Martin, who arrived from the Koyu
kuk on the steamer Reliance several
days ago. and departed today for
j the Outside by way of Fairbanks
and the Richardson trail. Dr. Martin
is attached to the U. S. Geological
Survey, with headquarters in Wash
ington, D. C., and is on his way back
to the States after having made a
j survey of conditions in the oldtime
I camp north of the Arctic Circle.
While here Dr. Martin made a
hurried trip to the Healy oil belt,
i to look over some properties in
which R. R. Robinson and associate?
! are interested, but he could not
spare the time to cover the region
j thoroughly. He explained that it
would be necessary for him to be
in Cordova by September 10, which
compelled him to cut short his stay
in this locality. The geologist was
accompanied out the line by Mrs.
Martin and Mr. Robinson.

LARGE LEDGE OF ASBESTOS
DISCOVERED BY R. E. BURNS
- ,
M hat is believed to be the larg
est and most valuable ledge of as
bestos in Alaska, has beer, discovered
on the ridge on the East Fork of
the Chulitna river, about a mile and
a half from the Governmen rail
road, at Mile 293. The discovery
was made by Robert E. Burns, of
Nenana, who returned to town this
week with samples of his find, which !
he will send Outside ofr expert ex
amination.
Mr. Burns left Nenana about a
month ago, on a prospecting and
exploration trip which took him to
the coast. He ran across the asbestos
on the trip home. He was two days
locating the ledge after he had found
pieces of float indicating its pres
ence in the vicinity. He had no
tools with him at the time, and the
samples which he brought to town
were taken from the ledge by hand.
The ledge has a width of about a
foot where Mr. Burns found it,
which is very exceptional and in
dicative of great value. The dis
covery caused considerable excite- j
ment along the railroad and many
claims are reported to have been
located. Mr. Burns recorded his
claims at Talkeetna.
During his outing, Mr. Burns
visited Anchorage, and reports that
the discovery of a new oil seepage
within three or four miles of the
railroad town has aroused new in
terest in prospecting in that locality
and the indications were that at
least two outfits would instal rigs
within a short time. Interest is also
keeping up in the Cold Bay region
end it is expected that drilling will
be under way by several parties
within a short time.
The Anchorage company, which
installed a small drill last summer,
is now raising additional capital to
buy a regular rig and the outlook
for further development in the near
future is very bright. This company
has a location about four miles
from town.
Mr. Bums says he stopped at
the roadhouse which is being con
ducted by Frank Tondro, in the
Southern division, and says the
place is being conducted in profes
sional style, the ‘■Malamute Kid”
having developed into a regular
hoteiman. The Kid now has 79 dogs
at his place, for use on the trail
next winter.
Mr. Bums met ••Dr." Brooks on
the trail, headed for the Kantishna,
and was informed by the geologist
that he had only ten days at his
disposal for the trip, it being his
intention to return to the coast as
soon as he returns to the railroad
from the Kantishna.
