COAL EXPERT BACK
FROM INSPECTION
BERING DISTRICT
AUTHORITY ON COAL ARRIVES
SEWARD FOLLOWING EXAM
BERING RIVER FIELD
Two Weeks On Ground
Is Accompanied By Harriman Engi
neer Looking Over Railroad
Long Shut Down.
J. J. Corey, in charge of the Bu
reau of Mines, department of the Ge
ological Survey for this district of
the Territory, returned to Seward
on the steamer Yukon, from Cordova.
Mr. Corey has spent the past two
weeks in the Bering river coal field
looking over permits and leases and
conducting a personal examination of
the coal beds and oil seepages. Many
samples of coal and oil. includ’ng
oil from the Chilkat Oil Company at
Katalla, are being taken back to Mr.
Corey’s headquarters at Anchorage,
where analysis will be made.
Railroad In Fair Condition.
Upon arriving at Katalla from Cor
dova, Mr. Corey accompanied by
S'arr Truscott, civil engineer an l m
v.C architect, representing H. Har
riman, left for Goose City in a small
gas boat. The railroad runs out of
Goose City for an apprjximate dis
tance of 17 miles, or to within a dis
tance of about two and one half miles
of the Harriman coal permit. The
road is of standard gauge and con- ;
siderina the little care taken of it
during the last two 3 cars, which has
been practically nil, the road is ia
fair condition, it is stated. Mr. Cor
ey and Mr. Truscott journeyed over
the 17 miles of railroad in a gas
car, encountering no trouble what
soever.
The Alaska Anthracite company,
are the owners of this road which is
called the Alaska Anthracite Rail
road. It connects the Cunningham
Alaska Picific and the Alaska Petrole- J
urn Coal company properties.
Mr. Truscott’s Statement.
Mr. Truscott is now at Cordova
awaiting the arrival of the steamer;
Yukon on which vessel he will re- i
turn to the States en route to the
Los Angeles office of the Hardman
intreests. In an interview granted
the Cordova Daily Times, Mr. Trus
cott said:
“The outlook is very encouraging
and I think there is no doubt that
whatever coal is there is worth de
veloping. I look for action of this
sort in the spring. Several engi
neers for the anthracite railroad are
due to arrive here within the next
few weeks and will go over the
ground and make recommendations.
I hope to meet them before they
leave Seattle and talk about the sit
uation. I am sailing from Cordova
on the Alaska and may go to Los
Angeles and confer with other mem
bers of our company about rehabili
tatoin of the property.”
To Ship Coal In Year.
Mr. Truscott explained that the
company stopped work in the fall
of 1922, having been prepared to go
ahead seriously the following spring,
when the failure of the brokerage
house which was financing the rail
road stopped all developments in
the coal field.
“I am informed that there is every
reason to hope that the railroad
will be completed shortly. Between
10 and 15 miles are yet to be built.
ra: i ui luis uisiuuce is graufu ciuu
ready for ties and rails. A dock
must also be put in. I judge that
one property there could be shipping
coal three or four months after the
completion of the railroad. Our
own property is the farthest away
and it would be a year before ship
ments could commence.
“There is a possibility that the
work was started at Katalla a bit
prematurely. It began when the Pa
cific Coast was mainly concerned
with the oil boom and coal was un
der a handicap. That handicap is
being removed because the cost of
oil as fuel is climbing. I think fu
ture generations are going to regret
that more of the finer grade oil was
not saved for lubricants instead of
being burned.
Assisted Construction Dirigible
‘Coal is coming back in more ways
that one. In the powdered form it
has been successfully used and one
of the best run railways in the east
is now fitting for this type of coal.”
Mr. Truscott is not* a coal expert,
but rather is a civil engineer and
naval architect. His official connec

When the dirigible Shenandoah was
under construction it fell to his lot
to coordinate the work of those en
gaged in gathering from all known
sources details needed in designing
it.
Naturally Mr. Truscott was shock
ed to learn of the recent disaster
which befell thecraft. “I knew all
of the officers personally,” he said.
“The craft must have run into a
heavy wind and received a terrific
wrench. Like a ship at sea, one
could not expect it to be invulner
able. When we built it we took
the best of what we could learn
of the German and British methods
and added some of our own.”

his garage and taxi-cab business Sat
urday to A1 Davis and Peter Ogle,
departed yesterday on the steamer
Yukon, for Juneau where he will
attend the meeting of the Territorial

of the Juneau meeting, providing it
does not occupy more than a week’s
time, Mr. Ellsworth contemplates re

at that time for Seattle where Mrs.
Ellsworth is undergoing medical

ter he expects to be in and out of
