ON THE OIL TIL
(Continued from Fapi’ Threel
told me he was working very hard
to keep his job that he had had
for years with the company, but
if he should lose it he could not
get it back or secure another. He
was an experienced, strong man
of about 50 years of age.
Many there are who have had,
! long experience in different fields (
! and states, fitting them for this,
| difficult work who cannot, as we j
| ourselves cannot, stay the hand |
of Father Time, and it would seem j
the part of wisdom to employ men j
who know how to meet emergen-j
cies like the one last season in 1
the nearby field of Chickaloon.
1 It has been stated that tools
(not one but several) were lost
in this well in the summer of
1929. When work was started last
June, the first thing to be done
was to get them out. This proved,
after many weeks of fishing, to
be impossible. The best that
could be done was to push them
about from one side to the other

until the drill was below them.
This was done by Mr. Lester Clink
thenj on the work. Here is an ex
perienced oil driller who has been
! in this drilling business for 25
. years or more. He is without
j doubt familiar with tools in wells
and knows the positions they would j
fall in if accidentally lost, and a)
discovery that these especial toolsj
were not in those positions, were
locked in a manner not indicat
ing mere carelessness, that the
number of them was excessive,
that they were down there to re
main—what about this?
Could it be possible—this infer
ence? Who were the drillers? Two
men from the states, one after
the other. Capt. Peterson and his
son certainly were innocent of
this. Mr. Clink was not in Al
aska this season. Strangesrs left
an impression in that well that
will long be remembered. There
is no redress for such things—hid
de, concealed—the hand of Time
does not always reveal tjie Truth;
it may never come to light, but
it is believable that a paid emis
sary of Satan had a hand in try
ing to spoil this well—one of the
most virtually important enter
prises that has even been attempt
ed in all Alaska.
The time has gone by when out
siders can, like thieves in the
night, rob Alaskans of these rich
and wonderful oil fields. Tea Pot
Dome stuff has passed into limbo
—relegated to the dark ages are
the men who would rob this Ter
ritory of its “Black Gold” and
“Black Diamonds”—some are dead
—others might better be.
Those familiar with Alaska do
not believe this will be a deep
field. Take the California oil
fields; 5,000 feet was formerly
called a deep well, but no longer.
Six thousand feet, 7,000 feet, and
even 8,000 feet these drills have
penetrated into the bowels of the
earth.
The expense was tremendous. In
western Texas where fuel and
water are lacking, drilling is being
done, and has been for some time,
with electricity. These wells are
not so deep.
Here in Alaska we have every
thing needed. We have plenty of
coal, timber, and water. We have
electric power at Eklutna. With
the last named, 100 feet can be
drilled in one day.
Much oil drilling machinery is
lying idle in California. This can
be loaded onto ships arid brought
into Cook Inlet without transfer.
There is the Alaska Railroad. What
more could mankind want?
A very common question is so
often asked us that it is abso
lutely trite. “Where can we - sell
our oil when we get it? The states
have too much already.” Our re-;
ply to this is not without author- J
