OIL DRILLING NEAR
ANCHORAGE SOON BE
STARTED FOR SEASON
Anchorage Oil & Development
Co. Maps Out Program
of Work
At a meeting of the stockholders and
directors of the Anchorage Oil & De
veeiopment Co. it was decided to re
sume drilling immediately, according
to a statement made by Arthur O.
Thompson, says the Times. Manager
Sellander was instructed to secure a
new driving head from the commission
to replace the one broken last fall, to
get supplies out to the camp and to
put the drill in operation as soon as
possible.
Wood has already been delivered at
the rig and sawed into lengths for the
boiler sufficent for two months’ work
and the camp and machinery is in
good condition. The drill* will be at
work churning down the hole in a few
days.
All those attending the meeting were
in favor of resuming work on the well
as sopn as possible, with a view of
prospecting the formation and demon
trating the presence of oil. which is
believed to exist underneath the valley.
A movement has already been started
and money subscribed to secure the
machinery for a heavier drill and if
oil is not encountered within the drill
ing limit of the drill now in use, the
company expects, with the informa
tion secured through the work now be
ing done, to have no trouble in secur
ing the money to drill a deep well.
Several of the stockholders spoke at
the meeting, expressing approval of
the work which has been done and a
spirit of confidence and optimism pro
vaded the meeting.

KENNECOTT MINES
AMONG FEW COPPER
PRODUCERS ACTIVE
With copper below 12 cents, the
Kennecott Copper Co. holdings in
Alaska are among the only copper
mines in the work able to pro
duce copper at this price, says
the Alaska Dispatch, but the output
at Kennecott is curtailed on account
of over-production, which has caused
many millions of dollars of copper to
go into storage, closing of the big cop
per mines of Montana, Arizona, Michi
gan and elsewhere.
It is claimed the Kennecott can
market copper at a profit over 8 cents
owing to favorable mining conditions
notwithstanding the company mines
are many miles from a smelter, and the
output must be carried over the
Copper River & Northwestern railroad,
and then reohipped by water 1,500
miles to the Tacoma smelter. The
cost of production by the Kennecott
is said to be among the lowest in the
world.

DRIVE TUNNEL
INTO LAKE FOR
WATER SUPPLY
Work of Increasing Ketchi
kan’s Available Supply Is
Said to Be Progressing in
Satisfactory Manner
Most mines in Alaska have been
dug for gold, but at the Ketchikan
lake a shaft has been driven 163
feet for water, says the Ketchikan
j Chronicle. It has been blasted
through solid rock and for all the
world the entrance resembles the en
trance to a mine. Before many
months a hyavy flow of water will
rush through the shaft, fulfilling
Ketchikan’s needs as to light, power
and water for a long time to come.
Progress in the work of increasing
the city's power supply is continuing
smoothly. About twenty-five men are
working every day and three shifts
are carrying on the work of tunnel
ing. They are now about 130 feet
from the lake end. The excavating
' has been carried on from only one
j end, though work of clearing the bot
I tom for tiie lake side entrance of the
I hole was just started. The raising
i of the water in the lake due to the
; rain of yesterday halted this work.
The lake has been very low, but
the weather of yesterday raised
fears that it might flood the lake
over the dam and cause a postpone
ment of the work of tunneling, but
the fears failed to materialize today.
The tunnel opening is just below the
falls and at such a low level that a
freshet might cause an interruption
due to water blocking the entrance.
Concrete forms for screens and
chambers for the gates are soon to
be constructed. These will bo built
into the tunnel to hold the two
raisers and the gauge control valve.
Work on three of the four dams that
are to be constructed is being car
ried on. One crew has been at work
clearing and carrying out timber for
these dams. Three of the dams will
be constructed in the ravines on
either side of the spillway. The dams
will be three feet higher than the
spillway, which will be 340 feet above
tide water.
In order to prepare for the work at
the lake considerable work on the
tramway to the lake had to be done
which is now completed. The track
was renewed in a number of places
and new sections of trestlework put
in.
When the work is finished the
storage capacity of the lake will have
been increased about 100 per cent.
Tentative plans for making available
the water supply of the upper lake
at low water as well as when the
water is high are also in the pro
cess of development. It is expected
that the work of blasting the tunnel
may be completed within the month.
JENNINGS WILL HOLD
COURT AT KETCHIKAN
COMMENCING IN MAY
Acting upon request of all the at
torneys of Ketchikan. United States
District Judge Robert W. Jennings
has set a regular term of court at
Ketchikan beginning Monday, May 16.
Attorneys of Ketchikan cabled Judge
Jennings as fellows:
“Members of local bar earnestly re
quest that term of court here be set
not earlier that May 16, owing to local
conditions and inability to obtain pre
sence of litigants and witnesses.”
The term of court at Ketchikan
was originally called for April 11, but
Judge Jennings, postponed the term
to the date requested by the Ketchikan
attorneys.
