NATIVES MOVE VILLAGE
Associated Oil Company Still Intact
At Field Though Not Operating
Kanatak is the veritable deserted
village of Alaska. Only 30 whites
are left in the town which boasted
nearly 1000 people only a few years
ago.
Five years ago the Standard Oil Co.
started drilling at the oil seepage
about 15 miles north of Kanatak. The
road from Kanatak was built jointly
by the oil companies and the road
commission. After five years of dril
ling, under the most adverse condi
tions, during which time nearly a mil
lion dollars was spent in drilling
5000 feet,’ the project has been de
finitely abandoned. At least, so it is
reported.
Passengers on the Starr realized the
difficulties in landing cargo at Kana
tak. There is no dock and it required
over two hours for the two dories
which were sent out, to take ashore
the freight apcl mail. Small boats
are tossed about roughly and ship
considerable water. The fact that
hundreds of tons of drilling machin
ery and general cargo have been dis
charged at Kanatak without the loss
of a single article, is a testimony of
j the courage and efficiency of the cap
tain and crew of the steamer Starr.
The native village of 50 inhabitants
has moved down from the lake to
Kanatak, making the total population
of Kanatak now about SO persons. The
natives spend the summer fishing and
working in the canneries.
The Associated Oil Company is still
in the field, but whether or not
drilling will be resumed is problema
tical.
Chas. Madsen, for years one of
Kanatak’s leading business men has
moved his large general merchandise
store to Kodiak. He leaves over
$6,000 worth of property in Kanatak
“to the elements,” to use his own
phrase.
FISHING ACTIVITY
Kill, IMPORTANT
IS ONE OF THE OLDEST FISHING
DISTRICTS IN ALASKA
To the casual traveler, the little
village of Karluk gives little idea of |
its importance as a fishing center.
Located at the mouth of the Karluk
river at the foot of a barren hill, it
Dffered a real treat to the passengers
3ii the Starr, Captain Johanson calling
in there for the first time in 26 years.
Two canneries, a large church, and
a score or so of shacks comprise
:he village, where up to Aug. 12, over
100,000 cases of salmon have been
put up in one cannery, 75,000 in the
3ther *with a month of the season still
ahead. A recent northeast gale had
a noticeable effect on the run, but 200,
300 cases will probably be canned
this season.
Lake Karluk, back of the village
lad an escapement of one and one
lalf million. It is one of the oldest i
ashing districts in Alaska.
