COAL ON COAST
!
j Falcon Joslin, president of the
Bering River oal company, who ar
rived at Cordova on a recent boat,
says that there has been some de
lay in the building of a towboat
and two barges, which should have
left Seattle by June 15, loaded with
supplies to be used in connection
with the distribution of Alaska coal
to points along the coast. However,
this equipment should be here soon.
In the meantime, a motor-truck road
i
is being built from the Trout Creek
coal mines to Bering lake. The
highway will be of wooden planks
laid on stringers and ties, and will
be used for the purpose of hauling
coal from' the mines to the lake,
where it will be placed on seagoihg
barges and conveyed to the local
Alaskan markets at Katalla, Cor
dova, Valdez, and Juneau. A few
; small shipments may be sent to Se
attle. The necessary planking and
timbers will be cut by a small saw
'mill already installed.
Coal Cleaning Plant.
\ The company also will install a
small coal cleaning plant with a
capacity of about fifty tons a day.
In thermal heat units the coal from
these mines ranks among the high
est in the United States, and should
a sufficient body of it be developed,
the motor-truck highway will be fol
lowed by the construction of a rail
road to connect with the Copper
River & Northwestern at a point
about forty miles from Cordova.
"We have done about $200,000
.worth of development work,” said
Mr. Joslin, “and in the main tunnel
i
have cut several coal veins, some of
them several feet in thickness. But
the country is somewhat folded, and
we are not vet sure that we have
i
! sufficient tonnage to warrant the
|construction of a railroad. We will
market what we have for the present
. by trucking it to tidewater. This is
a temporary method.
Ha-d to Get Labor.
i “Development in that region is
slow because of the difficulty in ob
taining labor. When the' recent in
crease of 11 percent to miners was
decided upon, we already were pay
ing a wage much higher than that
given to miners in the United States,
but they all walked out jus* the
same. However, we are getting
along slowly and cut another vein
a few days ago.
“In the meantime, the Chilkat
Coal company will continue drilling
a number of wells. The company
has some patented claims, and while
we have not yet entered into any
' lease with the Government, the reg
ulations formulated by Secretary
: Payne are reasonable and sensible
| and there is no bar to operation
! under them. We expect to apply
j for additional territory. Secretary
; Payne is entitled to considerable
! credit for his promptness in mak
; ing the land available under the
; law. His action in the case was
I’ conspicuously different from the
usual leisurely departmental meth
od.”
