CORDOVA ATTORNEY SAYS
CITY HAS GREAT FUTURE
Attorney E. H. Medley, who was
recently in attendance at court in
Valdez, is very optimistic over the
coal situation at Cordova. He told
the Valdez Miner man that the com
pany developing the coal fields is
not making any noise about its
work, but is going ahead with its
surveys and within a short time
will be producing a superior quali
tv of coal for Cordova and othei
adjacent towns. Mr. Medley de
dared that Cordova has enterec
upon an era of prosperity which i;
substantial and enduring. Houses
are hard to find in the city ami
rents are high. The light compan;.
is doing a fine business and intend:
to increase its capacity to keec
pace with the city.

IHALLOWELL SAYS
! NORTH WILL COME
—
i A deep-seated conviction that
i Alaska's future development will be
phenomenal and an assurance that
jthe Government railroad between
'Seward and Fairbanks would be
I completed by the summer of 1922
or the early part of 1923, were the
expressions of John W. Hallowell,
assistant secretary of the interior,
in addressing- Seattle business men
at a luncheon at the Army and
Navy club, on the occasion of his
recent visit in Seattle, on his way
back to Washington from Alaska.
Mr. Hallowell spoke under the aus
pices of the Alaska Bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce, and fol
lowed Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, of the
United States geological survey,
who spoke briefly on the immediate
future of Alaska’s mineral resources.
“It is possible now,” Mr. Hallo
well said, “to state unreservedly
that there is nothing unfeasible to
face in the comparatively early com
pletion of the railroad from Seward
to Fairbanks. With the passage of
the $17,000,000 appropriation it
will be possible to close the existing
gaps with bridges and steel by the
summer of 1922 or early in 1923,
according to the estimate of Col.
i Mears, in charge of the work.
Inspect Entire Line.
"The party of which I was a
member traveled over the entire
line and inspected as closely as pos
sible the work already accomplished,
and surveyed that which yet re
mains to be done. The completion
of this line will be an enormous
influence in linking up the Fair
banks district and the Tanana valley
with the Alaskan markets and the
west coast of America. Those res
idents of that district who have
been hanging on will receive a great
boon when the road is in opera
tion.”
Mr. Hallowell traced briefly the
districts covered from the time he
arrived in Alaska until he left, five
weeks later, describing in part his
impressions of the mineral and ag
ricultural possibilities in the coun
try. He was particularly interested
in the agricultural development of
! the country, he declared, particu
larly in the Interior, where there
are already more than 150 farms
in the Tanana valley under close
cultivation. There is room, Mr.
Hallowell emphasized, for 500 addi
tional farms in the same section.
Self-Supporting in Food.
Already producing enough food to
make itself self-supporting, Mr. Hal
lowell predicted that with the in
crease in acreage devoted to Siberi
an and Romanoff wheat, flour mill
ing was sure to be developed, and
that the Alaskan markets could be
easily supplied with Alaskan-grown
foodstuffs on the completion of the
Government railroad.
Relative to the mineral resources,
Mr. Hallowell agreed with Dr.
Brooks, who said that the immedi
ate future of gold, copper, and coal
mining was not good, but expressed
himself as feeling that the coal
j situation there was somewhat more
| hopeful than Dr. Brooks had indi
icated.
In his remarks, Dr. Brooks as
jserteu that the immediate outlook
'for Alaskan mining development
| was not good, supplementing his
1 remarks, however, with the state
ment that there are many sections
'in the country which will ship gold
Tn heavy quantities in the not far
distant future.
| Copper mining, second in import
ance in Alaskan minerals, is at a
low ebb at present. Dr. Brooks said.
A few large operators are keeping
up production by operating their
properties, but the smaller opera
tors have, in many cases become
discouraged and closed down, only
a very few of the smaller mines
now being operated.
Coal Expensive to Mine.
Speaking of coal. Dr. Brooks de
clared that, while there were huge
quantities of high-grade coal in
Alaska, it was expensive to mine,
owing to the fact that the veins
were so so badly broken. The real
factor in the Alaskan coal fields,
the speaker emphasized, was that
the highest grades of coal were the
worst disturbed so far as natural
conditions were concerned.
This fact does not hold true with
the lignites in any appreciable de
gree. he said, but is found in in
creasing degree with the sub-bitum
inous, bituminous and anthracite
coals.
; ‘‘In regard to Alaskan oil,” Dr.
Brooks said. "I am convinced that
as soon as the necessary legisla
tion. now pending, is passed, oil
development in Alaska will come
into its own. I look for a consid
erable development and believe
enough of a supply will be obtained
to supply Alaskan needs, as well as
the west coast of America. I con
sider that immediate development in
Alaskan fuels will come in oil rath
er than with coal."
