GEOLOGISTS TO
WESTWARD ARE
MAKING SURVEYS
The geological survey party now to
the Westward has started work along
the right arm of Inniskin and Oil
Bays, running a preliminary base line
about six miles up Bowser and Red
Creeks, according to Ben Poindexter,
engineer and geologist, who returned
to Seward a few days ago from the
district.
The Superior Oil Company geolo
gists. recent visitors in Seward, be
gan their work at Oil Bay and have
already made a partial survey of the
geological structure of the field.
Jack McCord’s civil engineer War
ren G. Fenton, who also returned to
Seward on the steamer Alaska, tied
in some of the lower claims, but ow
ing to the ineompleted base line, was
unable to conclude the work. This,
however, will be accomplished within
the next few weeks. It was the in
tent of Mr. McCord and engineer Fen
ton to go to the Westward this week
and survey a fox island, but owing to
delayed work in the Willow Creek
district, Mr. Fenton was unable to
make the journey at this time.
Mr. Poindexter is remaining in Sew
ard for a few days, and is registered
at the hotel Van Gilder.

Uninterrupted Service!
You can’t get it with pneumatic tires no
matter how much you pay. You t/j get it
with Lambert “Trublpruf” Tires from the day
you put them on till they have gone ten,
twenty and often thirty thousand miles.
For motor truck and commercial car operators
we have some figures on low tire cost that
will prove a revelation.
Glad to present them any time.
