OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 8. A preliminary report on the petroleum fields of Alaska by Dr. G. C. Martin, of the Geological Survey, is included in the Survey's bulletin entitled "Contribution to Economic Geology, 1903." Occurrences of petroleum in Alaska have been known for several years, but Dr. Martin's report is tho first scientific pub lication concerning tho oil fields of this region. Indications of petroleum havo been noted at four general localities, all on tho southern shore of Alaska, though widely separated. Beginning with the most eastern point they are Cape Yaktag, which is near Mount St. Ellas; the shores of Controller Bay, which is at the mouth of the Copper River; the western shore of Cook Inlet, and the Alaska Peninsula, whore petroleum is found at many places. During tho Summer of 1903 Dr. Martin examined the coast of Controller Bay from tho Copper River delta as far east as Cape St. Ellas. The second month of the season he devoted to study of the oil fields of Cook Inlet, particularly In Enoch kin Bay, which is about 320 miles west of Controller Bay. A few days were also spent at Cold Bay, on the Alaska Penin sula, about 1C0 miles southwest of the Cook Inlet fields. The only general dis trict, therefore, which Dr. Martin did not visit personally was the Cape Yaktag field. His statements about that are necessarily based upon the observations of others. AH those regions, except the Capo Yaktag field, may be reached directly from Seattle by steamer. The region about Controller Bay i3 known as the Kayak oil field, because the landing point and postoffice for this region Is on Kayak Island. It is also sometimes called the Katalla oil field, from the town and river of that name. This district has attracted considerable attention because of the flow of petroleum from a well which was drilled in the Summer of 1902, and because of the largo number of oil springs found there throughout a long belt parallel to the coast. The well drilled In 1902 yielded petroleum at a depth of about 250 feet. At 350 feet tho tools appeared to enter a cavity In the rock and a large flow of oil began spouting many feet above the top of the derrick. The well was Immediately capped and was reopened in July, 1903, and drilled deeper. In September, 1903, tho depth attained was between 400 and 500 feet, and drilling was still continu ing. Four wells were drilled in this region during tho Summer of 1903 and several more are probably now under way. At last accounts, tho only well that had struck oil was the one drilled in 1902. Much activity has been shown in staking claims, but a large proportion of them were located for purely speculative pur poses, and are probably out of the oil belt. The petroleum is clearly a refining oil of the same general ' nature as tho Pennsylvania petroleum. It resembles tho latter in containing a high propor tion of the more volatile compounds, in having a paraffin base, and in carrying almost no sulphur. Dr. Martin's work consisted of making a study of the relation of the oil sands to the rocks exposed at the surface, map ping the approximate outlines of the oil best and determining what portions of it are likely to be of most value. He found that the field is very complex and Ir regular in Its structure and boundaries. No Investments should be mado or wells located without the best expert advice. The petroleum, of the Cape Yaktag field is said to be similar in character to that of the Controller Bay field. Although this field is only about 75 miles east of Controller Bay, no development work has been done there, owing to the difficulty of transporting machinery to the region. The shore line is straight and there is no harbor to afford shelter for any kind of boat. It would be necessary either to land th8 machinery through the eurf on the open coast or to transport it over land from Controller Bay. The lack of roads makes the latter plan impossible at present. Shipments of oil may; how ever, be made by pipe line along the coast, as it Is understood that . surveys havo been made with such an object in view. During his month's work on the west shore of Cpoi Inlet, Dr. Martin made a map of the shore from a point north of Chlnltna Bay to tho mouth of Iliama Bay, Including the shores of Chlnltna Bay, Dry Bay, Oil Bay and Enochkln Bay. This map will show not only the outline of the shore, but the position of tho prin cipal mountains, the locations of the camps and trails, and tho boundaries of the belt within which petroleum" may be looked for. The surface indications of petroleum iff this region consist of seep ages, or oil springs, and so-called gas springs. Two wells were drilling in this field, one at Oil Bay and one at Dry Bay. Tho former Is reported to have struck a flow of 50 barrels of petroleum at a depth of about 500 feet, but later a strong flow of water was encountered that shut off the flow of oiL The shipment of petrol eum, from thls-fleld would probably be made from Enocukin and Chlnltna Bays, which are harbors that afford safe an chorage tc largo vessels in all weather, as well as good wharf sites. Ships can, however, anchor In the mouth of Oil Bay and off Dry Bay, except during very bad weather. It docks should be constructed either at Enochkln or Chlnltna, it would be necessary to build pipe lines and pumping stations to transfer the product from tne field to tho shipping point. "White Lt Cold Bay Dr. Martin made a hasty examination of the oil fields. The seepages were found to come from the same Jurassic shales as on Cook Inlet and the general structure of the bed rock was determined. Two wells were drilling near Cold Bay at the time of Dr. Murtln's visit If petroleum should be discovered in commercial quantities in this region It could be piped from the wells by gravity to Cold Bay and shipped thence f.o San Francisco and Puget Sound ports. Dr. Martin's final report will contain all available information concerning the natural features, geology and economic prospects of these regions, and will be accompanied by maps showing the har bors, mountain ranges, rivers and trails, as well as the boundaries of the oil and coal baits. TO STUDY ALASKA COAL GEOLOGICAL SURVEY TO SEARCH FOR NEW DEPOSITS. BAKER'S NAME IS TJP. Klickitat Man Is Mentioned for Governor. SEATTLE, May 8. (Special.) The dele gates from the Northwest have trans ferred their headquarters from Seattle to Tacoma. Just enough delegates aro left here to show the late-comers the way over to the convention city, while the others moved on to try to do business with the delegations arriving at Tacoma. The failure of Piles to get his King County delegation organized and ready for business is largely responsible for the transfer of headquarters. The North west found nothing to do here, and is af ter the Southwest'' and Pierce County, which aro ready for business. Potter Charles Sullivan, to whom Piles has intrusted much of the management of affairs, was in Tacoma most of today, and the politicians left in town have spent their time speculating upon the time when Piles will announce his delegation. North western delegates declared this morning they expected the list next Friday and moved to the South. Gubernatorial gossip plays strong with the names "of B. D. Crocker and George H. Baker, but so far as Seattle is con cerned it is mere play. The work, largely of a speculative character, is being done at Tacoma. Rebates on Railway Fares. Philadelphia Ledger. There is substantial Justice in tho regu lation of the Pennsylvania Railroad allow ing a rebate upon passenger fares for loss of time m transit. A passenger starts upon a train with the understanding that he will reach his. destination at an hour stated. If the schedule bo not followed the railroad company pays him a forfeit, proportioned to the delay. Upon long lines, where an additional charge Is paid for traveling- by express, with an increased liability to loss of time, this rebate may prove a material compensation. In all cases it will mitigate the belated passen ger's discontent. A strict compliance with the schedule- is a main effort of railroad management at present, as a practical necessity as well as for the public con venience. - Thoroughly Exclusive. Boston Herald. A Bostonlan lately visited Washington and had the pleasure of listening to Congressman Gflletfs speech in behalf of equality for the colored brethren. Then he got op a car to go to Mount Vernon. On the car were these two signs: "These seats exclusively for whites." "These seats exclusively for blacks." However, they were equally exclusive. The Missed Vocation. New York Sun. Peter the Hermit was preaching the Crusade. "I have missed my vocation," he sob bed, "think what a general passenger With a sigh that ho was bom too soon, J Signature of he watched the excursion depart afoot j Nine Parties Soon Start North-More Topographical Work Possible Un der Increased Appropriation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 8. The first field party of the United States Geological Survey to leave Washington this year is, as usual, the Alaskan contingent. During the past Win ter Congress Increased Its appropriation for Alaskan work from $60,000 to 580.000, which is about 1 per cent of the annual output of that territory. Nine parties will be engaged there during tho coming sea son In topographic and geologic work. Besides these, three subpartles, which may be counted as offshoots of the larger ones, will take up special work, so that the number of survey investigations on foot in Alaska during the Summer will be 12, as against seven of last year. The geologic work of the last season in Southeastern Alaska will be continued by Messrs. C. W. and F. W. Wright. As this is the only noteworthy lode mining dis trict of Alaska, and as its rich deposits of gold, silver and copper are only partial ly developed, a study of Its resources Is likely to be of vital interest to the pros pector and Investor. The work will begin with a reconnaissance across the Islands from Taku Inlet to Sitka. An .examina tion of the mining district about Sitka will follow, together with a study of the coal deposits of Admiralty Island. With Wrangell as a base. F. W. Wright will then study the local geology and min eral deposits, while C. W. Wright connects the geology "of the Juneau dis trict, the work of Dr. A. C. Spencer in 1903, with that of the Ketchikan district, the work of Alfred H. Brooks in 1901. If the time permits, some of the copper and gold mines of Prince of Wales Island will be visited. Placer District About Cook Inlet. The important placer district located near the head of Cook Inlet, which ha3 been subject only to preliminary examina tion by the survey, will be carefully stud led by Fred H. Moffit, assistant geol ogist, and E. G. Hamilton, assistant topo grapher. worK win begin near resurrec tion Bay, on the Kenai Peninsula, and ex tend northward to include the Sunrise mining district. If possible, the entire gold-bearing area will be examined, and 2000 square miles will be mapped on a scale of 1:250,000. Tho continued development of the oil fields of Southwestern Alaska and tho presence there of important deposits of coal make advisable additional reconnais sance surveys In that region. Dr. G. C. Martin and R. W. Stone will survey this area, and, if time allows, will extend their reconnaissance over the entire penin sula. A traverse, will be made from Cold Bay to Igagik, via Becharof Lake and Ugaguk Rhrer; also from Cold Bay to Ugashlk, via Ugashlk Lakes. A reconnaissance survey of Kachemak Bay will also be made in order to more definitely determine the limits of the coal field and it3 commercial value, while stratigraphlc studies will be made at Snug Harbor In the hope that they may throw some light on the existence of pe troleum in this district. Dr. T. W. Stan ton, paleontologist, will accompany this party and make an extensive collection of fossils. The regions about Dry Bay, Cold Bay, Enoohkin Bay, Cape Douglas, Ama lik Harbor, and Herendeen Bay will be studied with a special view of the possi bilities of new discoveries of coal and petroleum. Seward Peninsula has been mapped on a scale of 15250,000 and a general geologic recftnnalssance has been made of this re gion, but it is thought expedient now to make more detailed topographic surveys of that rich goldbearlng zone known as the Nome district. Mr. T. G. Gerdlne, to pographer, with two assistants, will there fore map approximately 600 square miles In the vicinity of Nome on a larger scale. Mr. Gerdlne will direct two sub-parties. One of these, under Mr. R. B. Oliver, will spend the season in plane table mapping, the other, under Mr. W. R. Hill, will deVote Its energies to leveling. 1 Coal Deposits of Cape Lisburne. Mr. A. J. Collier will undertake a care ful study of the Important coal deposits in the vicinity of Capo Lisburne, which Is approximately 200 miles north of Seward Peninsula. This coal has been mined at Intervals during the past 20 years and is known to bo of excellent quality, but no material progress has been made In its development. Mr. Collier will also make a detailed study of a geologic section along the coast from Cape Beaufort to Cape Thomson. He will make extensive collec tions of fossils. The tin deposits of the York region, which Mr. Collier was In strumental in finding in 1203, will also be visited and reexamined, as a year's de velopment of the deposits may add much to our knowledge of the occurrence and origin of the tin. Placer Districts of Central Alaska. Mr. L. M. Prlndle, assisted by Mr. Frank L. Hess, will continue his work of the past season In the placer district between the Yukon and Tanana Rivers and along Fortymlle and Birch Creeks. Tho party will start from -Eagle, moving southwest toward Fairbanks, where the important discoveries of the last two years will warrant careful studies. From there they will go north toward Rampart, fin ishing the season's work in an investiga tion of the mining district about Baker and Minook Creeks. During the Summer of 1903 T. G. Gerdlne, topographer, mapped an area extending from Eagle to Fairbanks and a strip from Eagle down the Goodpaster River. D. C. Wltherspoon will continue this work, mapping another section between Eagle and Rampart. He will be assisted by one topographer, who will work independently at times, as the character of the work may demand. Mining Methods in Alaska. C. W. Purington, a geologist and mining engineer of long experience, will investi gate the placer-mining methods In vogue' In Alaska. Accompanied by Sidney Paige, he will visit the most important and inter esting camps of tho territory. After spend ing a few days in the vicinity of Juneau, they will make the rounds of the Atlln, Klondike, Forty-Mile and Birch Creek re gions, and possibly the newly-discovered placers of the Tanana. In the Seward Peninsula the more Important camps of the Nome, the Council City, the Topkok and the Solomon River districts will bo visited. As a result of the Summer's work. Mr. Purington expects to write a report on the present conditions of placer mining in Alaska, supplying information for which there is at present much demand. The time of Alfred H. Brooks, geologist In charge of the division of Alaskan min eral resources, will be given chiefly to administrative work.. In the course of the Summer, however, he will visit most of the field parties and will make sup plementary studies of areas previously In vestigated. He will first Join the Wright party In Southeastern Alaska, then visit the Yukon parties, proceed to the Nomo district and, time permitting, will stop at Cook Inlet on his return.
