Seattle Alaska Letter.
Publicity Department, Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce.
Seattle.—Two big oil companies, the
Standard Oil Company and the General
Petroleum Company, have signed con
tracts with the Westward Development
Company for the development of the
immense oil fields in the Cold Bay dis
trict of Alaska, according to a report
in the Seattle Times. The Westward
Development Company was organized
last year by A. S. Kerry and Seattle
and Northwest capitalists, to act as
agents of oil groups who had permits
in Alaska. Mr. Kerry says equipment
will be on the way to the Alaska oil
fields within thirty days for general
development of the fields, which are
about forty miles in length. It is be
lieved that in a short time a similar
contract will be signed with the Sin
clair Consolidated Oil Corporation of
New York, which will br'mg an exten
sive addition to the capital available.
The development work already out
lined will mean the expenditure of at
least $2,000,000 in the two districts for
development work.
Seattle is greatly interested in this
development, as it will be the base for
the sending in of supplies and receiv
ing the output of the developed dis
tricts. Mr. Kerry predicts this move
ment may mean more for Alaska and
Seattle than the original gold discov
ery meant.
All this activity follows the passage
of the Alaska land act iri February,
1920, after which there was a rush of
prospectors to locate oil claims. The
district in question has been thorough
ly examined by engineers and geolo
jists of the Westward company and the
jovernment. The anticltnals have di
vided the peninsular oil fields into the
vest field a*d the east field The west
ield is about twenty miles inland from
Sheilakof strait, and extends from
iecharof lake in a southwesterly direc
ion for a length of fortv miles, as men
ioned. The east field is, roughly,
nainly inland, about six miles from
idewater, with its top near Cold Bay.
t extends, also, in a southwesterly di
eetion, for forty miles. On the west
f the field lies Ugashik lakes, Part
f the east field anticlinal runs through
iheilakof strait, but reappears on both
ides of its straight-as-a-bee-line con
ormation.
Over 600 applications for permits
ave oeen filed in the Land Office at
uneau, covering a wide field, extend
□ g from Southwestern Alaska to
katow. along the southern coast, and
a the region of Point Barrow, thus in
icating the immense possibilities for
evelopment. 1

Andy Garbin. a resident of Kiana,
arrived in Nome recently and reported
that he had been approached by an
Eskimo who showed him some samples
of rock which showed gold, pyrites of
iron, copper, quartz and other unknown
minerals, all encased in a friable mat
rix. The native stated that he had
found an entire mountain extending
for about forty miles containing great
quantities of the mineral, and gave as
the place a mountain range 100 miles
