FINNEGAN SAYS DRILLING
FOR OIL IS NOT DELAYED
Ideal weather conditions during the
latter half of October in the Kana
tak district greatly facilitates the
movement of supplies from there to
the oil fields, and assurances have
been given by the companies that
drilling for oil will begin by
Thanksgiving Day. according to T.
J. Fir.negan. who is interested in
claims on which drilling is to be
done The first bourn has subsided
and there is a shrinkage of popula
tion now in progress.
Describing the progress of the work
ar.d general conditions at the time.
October 27, Mr. Finnegan said:
‘‘This past week the weather has
been cold and clear and the road in
perfect condition, so that the Asso
ciated and Standard Oil Companies
are using all four tractors and mov
ing material to the lease in good
time. Both companies are working
three shifts on the tractors. If the
weather holds up for another two
weeks they will nave all necessary
machinary, etc., to start drilling im
mediately on the three leases they
now control. During the early part
of this month we had several terrific
storms, consequently the temporary
road they built was nearly washed
away, tractors stalled and material
-cattered between the beach and the
lease, but now with the freeze-up
they are getting their ragged ends,
together and I am assured will be
drilling before Thanksgiving.
T imagine the two companies are
employing in the neighbor of 75 j
men. 60 per cent of which they
brought with them. In the town of
Kanatak there are approximately1
1 150 men seven white women and,
! of course the native population. The
population of the town will dwindle
! to less than a hundred before the
’ first of the year. 1 think, .lust now
there is no employment for anyone
; with the exception of a few odd
iobs. such as cutting wood, banking
houses and a little carpenter work,
and there will be i?o work of any
I consquences until spring. The ma
' jority of the residences are here or.
shore money and cannot ‘remain
i throughout the winter, but all in
! tend to return early in the spring.
“At the present there are three
; general merchandise stores, two res
taurants. three rooming houses, sev
en soft drinkparlors. a paint shop.
■ a laundry, three transfer companies,
three barbers, one doctor, one broker
■ about 50 head of horses, one hun
i dred dogs, a dozen cats and a law
jyer. Marshals enforcement officials
I and commissioners as yet we have
i none. I did forget to mention civil
! engineers. We have three. And also
i oil exports. Every tenth man is a
human being, the others are rep
resentives of oil companies from
every civilized country in existence.’*
and. if current gossip is to be eredit
: ed a representative from Mars is!
due on the next boat.
“Transportation is our main draw
back at present, the ‘Starr’ having
gone to Seattle for repairs and in
spection. She is due to return about
November 25. Then we will be on
a regular monthly mail schedule, the
‘Starr'' leaving Seward the 10th of
every month. The young chap who
brought the Jugaslav west from Ju
neau last spring Walter Johnson.
I think his name is, contemplates
putting the boat on the run between
Seward. Kodiak and here, connecting
with every alternate boat arriving
from Seattle, if there is sufficient
business to warrant. The Standard
Oil has a small 50 foot boat that
plys between here and Kodiak, cor
recting with the Watson, but no

boat of any carrying capacity will
operate this winter. Had building
material been available, I personally
know of several store buildings and
homes that would have been built
this fall. Lumber was selling at
$lt'0 per running foot, and you
could not get even walking feet.
"Heal estate was booming during
the first month of the rush. Squat
ters' right lots selling for from $100
to 350 a lot, but during the last
month 1 doubt if any property tran
sfers have been made where cash
money has been involved. We have
filed script on 80 acres, surveyed,
sub-divided into blocks into lots
and expect title for same before
the first of the year. W. J. Erskine
also has 31 acres sub-divided and
patent applied for.”
Game Warden J. M. Burrows is
planning to leave for the Kar.tishna
district tomorrow.
Mike Murray, mining man, is a
recent arrival in Xenana from the
Hot Springs district. He is located
on American creek.
Sylvester Howell went to Fair
banks yesterday after a visit of
several days in Xenana.
Reports from the coast state that
the fire in the Evan Jones mine has
been extinguished. It is the inten
tion. however, to continue to pump
water into the mine until all the
lower workings are flooded, presum
ably as a matter of precaution.
