Admiral Evans Makes Special Trip
Back to Pick Up the Well
Known Mike Sullivan.
All of the oil drilling equipment
has been moved to the camp with
the exception of probably 25 tons
and that was supposed to have been
moved up the day following M. J.
(Big Mike) Sullivan’s departure from
Yagataga, according to Seward arriv
als on the Admiral Evans, on w’hich
vessel Mr. Sullivan arrived in Sew
ard. It might be stated that the
Evans wras 65 miles past Yagataga
when a wireless was received from
him announcing his desire to be pick
ed up. The vessel turned about and
made for the beach, sending a boat
ashore for Mr. Sullivan. That’s ser
vice! it was stated.
The companies which recently en
tered the Yagataga oil field are drill
ing on Mr. Sullivan’s and his asso
ciates’ property and from reports
emanating from the region, there
never was a better looking oil bear
ing country than that district. Tre
mendous oil seepages are found in
abundance and, it is stated, pros
pects for bringing in oil are extreme
ly rosiate. Drilling will actively be
gin October 1, it is stated. A per
manent camp has been established,
and everything will soon be ready
for two years’ consistent work in
the field. Eighteen mean, each of
them an expert in his particular
line, are employed by the company.
Companies Getting Busy.
Next year if the Sinclair and Gen
; eral Petroleum interests strike oil at
Katalla and Yagataga, the old Alas
ka Coal Oil Company, which' holds
five claims at the former town, will
get busy,. according to D. B. Mc
Bride of Portland, one of the direc
tors of the concern. With Andrew
Comrie, also of Portland, h^return
ed to Cordova recently afteflnspect
ing the company property, which is
about ten miles from the Chilkat
Oil company holdings. Mr. McBride
said four of the claims are in dis
pute and the corporation must wait
until the application for patents is
decided upon. He is confident that
the Katalla fields have a future.
The Alaska Coal Oil company put
down two Veils several years ago,
and struck oil, but no other devel
opment has since been done. The
company is entirely made up of Port
land people.
Weighing only 350 pounds and small
enough to fit in an ordinary garage, a
baby air plane is able to attain a speed
of 100 miles an hour.
Acting on the principle of the Flett

Pictures from Germany show a new
airplane with 60 men standing side by
