OIL DRILLING OPERATIONS
MAKING FINE PROGRESS
The oil drilling operations of the
Alaska Oil Corporation near Has
tings creek are making excellent
progress as a result of the employ
ment by Manager Keen of a num
ber of unusually competent drill
men, says the Nome Nugget. A
new hole is being sunk, ant! as a
result of their effective handling of
the drilling machinery is attaining
depth at a rate hitherto unknown
in the history of the company. Man
ager Keen states that it became
necessary to sink a new hole owing
to the deep boring made last year
being rendered useless for further
drilling by the dastardy action of
someone who took considerable pains
to blockade the hole by inserting an
iron bar or pipe sometime during
the past fall or winter. After con
siderable effort, it was found im
possible to get the object out of the
va; sufficiently to continue boring
end a new hole was started. Thanks
to the crew’s drilling efficiency, th?
new boring has already attained a
depth almost as great as that of the
abandoned hole.
