Crew of Superior Oil
Company Arrive Soon
A newspaper received here from
San Francisco bearing date of April
27, gives the following information
concerning oil, activities in this sec
tion :
“The H. F. Alexander sailed this
week with a dozen or more of Cali
fornia’s oil well experts who are
bound for Alaska. Additional experts
from this territory have booked pas
sage at the local office of the Pacific
Steamship Company for Seattle on
other vessels of the line to sail with
in a few days. These men will go to
Seward and proceed to the Chicka
loon district, near the government
railway, where prospects for oil are
very good.
“E. G. Grant McMicken, now at Se
attle, passenger manager for the Pa
cific Steamship Company, says that
there may be an unusual travel of oil
men to the north territory this sum
mer.
“Oil rigs and other apparatus to be
used in prospecting are to be shipped
north in the near future as big oil
operators such as the Standard Oil
Company and the Associated Com
pany are now drilling on leases.
“It is understood that the General
Petroleum Company will start active
work in that territory as soon as the
equipment can be shipped.

Much Work Will Be Done
In Anthracite District
Much interest is manifested in the
recent announcement by a group in
terested on Anthracite Ridge, 12 miles
from Chickaloon, that considerable
prospecting work will be done this
summer. A party in which will be
included J. J. Corey, head of the Bu
reau of Mines department for this
district, will depart firom Anchorage
about June 1, according to a report
received yesterday by the Gateway.
Several permits have been taken
out in that district during the last
year, the holders of whom will put a
couple of experienced mining men on
the ground to do development work
as outlined by Engineer Corey. This
work will continue until it’ is ascer
tained that the coal is there in quan
tities to warrant going ahead on a
larger scale. It is the intent of those
interested, to bring out next winter
at least two carloads of the high
quality coal for an experimental lo
comotive test on the Alaska railroad.
In order to do this the coal will have
to be freighted three miles down from
the ridge to the Matanuska river,
where it will be piled until the freeze
up at which time wagons will bring
it down the river to the Chichaloon
branch line.
Providing the coal is found in suf
ficient quantities, it will be mined and
placed on the Alaskan market. Owing
to its extremely high grade, it is
stated the coal will find a ready sale.
Anthracite coal on the Pacific coast
retails from $19 to $23 a ton. Due to
its hardness it is said to burn con
siderably longer than bituminous
coal. Ample water power is avail
able on the ridge for all purposes but
the ridge being above timber line, the
country is barren.
STUDDERT RESIGNS FROM
BUREAU TO ENTER SALTERY
R. L. Cole, master of the U. S. Bu
reau of Fisheries craft Kittiwake, has
been placed in charge of the Cook In
let area this season, according to in
formation reaching Seward today.
Capt. Cole succeeds W. P. Studdert
who has entered the saltery business.
Four men comprise the crew of the
Kittiwake, whose home port during
the fishing season is Anchorage. A
trip may be made to Seward the lat
ter part of the season for the pur
pose of taking on a cargo of fuel oil.
