NEW KATALLA WELL
IS A GOOD PRODUCER
Drilling the first of two new wells
to be put down this summer by the
Chilkat Oil Company at Katalla ha?
been completed and another derrick
is also nearly finished, so that work
will begin on the second within two
week. G. C. Hazelet, manager of
the company who arrived in Cordova
from Katalla on the launch Pioneer
the other day, said that the new
well would probably prove to be bet
ter than any of the others now down
and that at the present time it wras
one of the best producers. It was
put in to a depth of 1,165 feet.

Twelve Mile Ditch Is
Nearing Completion
(Fairbanks News-Miner) ‘
The Twelverpile ditch which will fur
nish the water for dredging from
Cleary to Chatanika and beyond if
there is anything to dig up in a gold
way beyond Chatanika, is finshed from
the Cleary end to Chatanika and to
day they are digging ditch by machin-/
ery out beyond Chatanika toward Cir
cle City and making good progress.
Its we mentioned last week on the
Cleary branch they struck frozen
ground on the hill towards Chatanika
and had to backtrack to the flat
where the ground was thawed and dig
that end of the ditch. When they had
finished on the lower level the ditch
digger climbed the hill again and find
ing the frozen ground thawed by them
went thru it in rapid time and then
took to the woods toward Circle.
On the Circle end of the ditch the
Stinnes men are lending first aid t
the ditcher, experimenting in thaw
ing or any other system which will
be breaking up or warming the bed
rock of the ditch to help to put the
steam ditcher over, under, by and
through. The right of way has been
brushed and stripped for some time
and they anticipate no trouble in send
ing the ditcher all the way to where
the ditch will intake from the Chata
nika.
There is no grass growing where
the Stnnes workmen are scattered. In
fact, the grass which was there is
dead now, and will never grow again.
By keeping everlastingly at their work
they are ahead of their schedule and
will keep that way. They will dredge
to no cleanups this year, for they
have no dredge to do it wdth, but when
ever a dredge arrives here for them
it will find its way smoothed to the
gold it will dig and the company will
put it into circulation.
Gateway want-ads bring results.

OUT TO LAWING IN
FIRST INLAND TRIP
SHOOTS FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS OF
SEWARD FROM THE CLOUDS
AND IS NOW ENTHUSIAST
With Pilot Merrill draped over the
steering wheel the Curtis seaplane
hopped off from the bay this morning
at 11 o'clock with Wm. Patterson,
manager and proprietor of the City
Express Co. as a passenger, bound
for Lawing, at Mile 23 on the Alaska
Railroad, on Lake Kenai. After par
taking of a special chicken dinner at
the Lawing resort the pilot and ob
server Patterson started on the home
ward flight, arriving in Seward in
the early afternoon.
Speaking of the air voyage, Mr. Pat
terson said: “Never had so much fun
in all my life. Seward looked smaller
than ever from the air. I could see
very plainly Martin Lanning and his
crew of one man, busily cleaning off
the lamp posts. The water is still
running as fast as ever at the pulp
mill site at the canyon. The proposed
golf links in Seward appeared very
beautiful from the air and the ball
players at the Seward Polo Park evi
dently had a fast game on when we
zoomed over their heads for they
hardly noticed our passing. I could
see the steamer Yukon in the offing
and if I am not badly mistaken she
should arrive in port before next
Monday. The steamer Starr was still
heading westward.”
While up in the air (?) Patterson
shot numerous photographs of Sew
ard and scenes along the route of
travel. These will be exhibited with
in a short time he said.
