J. J. Corey, Bureau of Mines official
In Field with the Harriman
Engineers.
Ag was announced in an issue of
the Seward Gateway last week, in
which it was stated J. J. Corey,
head of this district of the Bureau
of Mines, was on his way to the
Bering River coal fields, via Cordo
va and Katalla, where for the next
few weeks he will be actively en
gaged in making an examination of
the coal area, in conjunction with
engineers from the offices of Henry
E. Harriman of California and Wash
ington, D. C., additional details of
the proposed undertaking by the
Harriman group have been obtained.
Field parties for carrying out a
program of completion of a railroad
from tidewater to the eastern por
tion of the coal fields and construc
tion of deep water terminals and coal
handling facilities, are among the ma
jor items in the development program.
Starr Truscott, nationally known
construction engineer is a member
of the party now in the district. He
is proclaimed as being a leader in
his profession. Among work he has
been identified with has been the
Great Lakes coal and ore carriers,
designed and constructed terminals
at the canal, as well as coal handl
ing and storage problmes there. Re
cently he has been connected with
the Navy which included construction
work and design of the Shenandoah.
The Harriman group has been in
terested in the Bering River field for
several years. It owns one patent
ed coal claim and has permits for
development of an area of consid
erable size. They have asked for a
final leasing contract in order to fa
cilitate its program of development
and construction. It is planned to
complete the building of the railroad
from Controller Bay to its holdings
and the installation of modern ter
minal facilities for handling coal,
which, according to the report, will
be shipped to California on the com
pany’s own vessels for use in its
smelters.
John Meyers, Anchorage,
Business Man, Defines
“The Call of the North
John Meyers, tlie well known pro
prietor of the Alaska North Pole
Bakery, which at various times have
been established in towns as far j
North as Nome, arrived in Seward
yesterday from Anchorage, where he
has been established in business for
many years. It has been nine years
since he has been to the States and
having the opportunity present it
self last month to lease his flourish
ing business fo G. C. Rudelbach, he
grasped the chance to take a long va
catiion, and so, 3 on his way. Mr.
Meyers and child passed thru Sew
ard three weeks ago, en route to San
Francisco where Mr. Meyers will
join them. He first came to Alaska
in 1899, going to Nome where he
opened the North Pole Bakery which
to this date, is recalled by thousands
of people who thronged the thriving
camp in wild gold rush days. When
Nome’s sun began to sink he left
for the States where he remained
for two years. As Mr. Meyers stat
ed the case, he remained Outside
so long that his funds began to run
rather low, and just about this time
the “call of the North” began to
be felt so he came North to Anch
orage where he has been until the
present time. Mr. Meyers remark
ed, laconically, that generally the
“Call of the North,” hits one just
about the time one needs money, in
fact the two go hand in hand. “Isn’t
it the truth?” he asked.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hubbard were
Seward visiotrs Saturday from the
Primrose mine.
