DRILLING AT KATALLA
TO BE RESUMED IN MAY
G. C. llazelet, manager of the Chil
kat Oil company, left today for Kat
alla, where the refining plant will
1 resume operations. The company
j was compelled to close down early
in January on account of ice in the
! slough channel, through which oil
drums are transported by boat.
Beginning May 1. the company ex
pect to drill again, in the hope of
! obtaining a flow that will more ade
quately meet ilie demands of the
, Prince William Sound country. With
the installation last December of a
| gasoline extract plant at Katalla, an
other means of increasing the output
was provided. Casing head gas, or
iginally used only for lights and heat
in the buildings at the oil well, is
now being passed through absorp
tion oil and gasoline is being distill
ed from it, increasing the output
, about tOO gallons daily. The plant
had just been overhauled when the
j freeze came. As there are not stor
age facilities at Katalla, it was im
possible to continue running until
| warmer weather set in.

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRONG
The Associated Press in a recent
message from Seattle stated that the
steamship Eider was on its way to Un
alaska* and the Pribilofs with the first
mail in several months. This was
wrong as the steamship Starr main
tains monthly communication with Un
alaska from Seward, and carries the
mails regularly. The dispatch un
doubtedly meant that the Pribilofs has
received no mail for the time mention
ed. which was correct; but the dis
patch read as if Unalaska was refer
red to.
