BIC NEWSPAPER MAN INTERESTED
 IN ALASKA PULP
Jason Rogers Says Alaska Offers Big Opportunity
 Actively Interested.

Jason Rogers, publisher of the New York Globe and one of the foremost newspaper men of New York City, is interested in develop ment of the pulp and paper industry in Alaska, according to Maurice D, Leehey, who arrived here yesterday on legal business connected with an application for a water power per init filed with the Federal Power Commission by J. G. Calvin, of Wrangell.
 MT. Calvin has applied for a per init on Mill Creek and Aaron Creek and an apparent conflict arose as to the Wrangell Pulp & Paper Company had applied for a permit on Mill Creek and Harding Creek. B. F. Heintzelman, district logging engin- ger for the Forest Service, was nam ed special commissioner to hear the contest. On MT. Leehey's arrival, Judge James Wickersham appeared before MT. Heintzelman and with drew the company's application for Mill Creek rights and no formal hear ing was held by MT. Heintzelman. Although the town of Wrangell mas asked for a permit on Mill Creek fer municipal purposes, Mir Leehey is confident that no contest will arise from that source as it's needs will not be large and arrangements can

be made which will satisfy the peo- pie of that town.
 Rogers Whites Commission
 MT. Rogers is interested in the project fostered by MT. Calvin, ac- cording to MT. Leehey, and has SD informed the Federal Power Com mission. It is understood that the New York publisher, after MT. Gal win receives his permit, will send engineers from one of the leading paper-mill constructing firms in the United States to check up on the project and if the reports are favor able financial backing is assured Willing to Help
 In his letter to the Federal Power Commission, MT. Rogers said: Tt fs obvious to those of us who have care. fully investigated the matter of fu- ture paper supply that Alaska fur nishes the most hopeful and most abundant resources within the limits of the United States, and I vii. db everything in my power to help pro mote and develop the industry"
 MT. Leehey said that in personal conversations with Mir. Rogers, the latter had expressed the same sent- ments toward the development of the paper industry in the Territory, and should he become financially inter- ested in Alaska will be big booster for it. MT. Leehey expects to re- main here until the Alameda Sails South.

SIX DOMES ARE DISCOVERED IN
 COLD BAY DIST,
~C1HHuE NKtn@s~ Capt. Finnegan Says Wide Area Lined Upby lnvesti-
 gatiions Last Summer.

Geological investigations on the Alaska Peninsula during the past summer resulted in the discovery of five oil "domes' and indicate the presence of oil bearing strata over a country with a radium of 200 miles, said Captain J. J. Finnegan in a talk made before the Juneau Commercial Association today. Prior to these investigations, he said, 1t had been thought that the area might be confined to an area of some 40 miles.
 Four of the domes were found, said Captain Finnegan, within a radius of 60 miles and the fifth is located 150 miles from the nearest of the others. It seems, he said, that the district extending from Cold Bay on the east to and beyond Chignik on the west, is in the oil belt A large portion of this section, he said. had hardly been touched by prospectors.
 Drill Next Year
 It is certain. he said, that there will be some drilling in the field
  contemplated by Captain Finnegan and his associates, he said that il was understood that both the Asso ciated Oil Company and General Pc troleum, both of whom had men in the district last summer, will drill Development to begin with. he added would be slow, not more than three wells being put down next season Should any of these strike oil in commercially paying quantity, prog ress in the development would then become rapid.
 indiscrminate Stalking
 Captain Finnegan said that there had been much indiscriminate stalk ing which would probably result in loss to those engaged in it. Per sons without knowledge of condi- tions, he said, stand little chance of any returns from haphazard location of claims. Probably 90 per cent of those stalking in the district, he said would not reap anything but loss.
 Speed Up Roadwork
 On motion of R. E. Robertson. the association instructed the executive committee to petition District Pores ter Charles H. Flory to allot suffi cient funds from the allotments re ceived from the Federal Highway Forest Fund to complete the Juneau Eagle River road during the coming season. The completion of thil project, said ENr. Robertson, would be of value not osiy to Juneau, but tC Southeastern Alaska as whole ant would open up the entire Eagle Rivel

Large reserves of ore in the Al aska Juneau mine can be mined and milled at a profit if the milling cost can be reduced to the right point, according to F. W Bradley, president of the company. who left today for his home at San Francisco by way of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mi0e in Idaho of which he is principal owner
 MT. Bradley in speaking of the prospects of the Alaska Juneau mine, said that the future of the property is practically assured. The mining and milling end is not bothering him so much at the present time as is the interest on the indebtedness. He said last night that he was quite confident that he would be able to take care of this matter by personal visits this winter.
 Solved Problems
 "The Alaska Juneau mine has al ways been a great success. Mining costs are exceedingly low MT. Brad ley said. Where he have had our troubles is with the milling plant. Here we were confronted with many grave problems that have taken time to solve. We have either solved all of these problems or know how to solve them at the present time. We have sifted the whole matter down and find that the trouble lies now in the course crushing plant. These course crushers cannot handle enough rock to keep the mill operating up to the capacity that we should have to make the milling cost at the figure we wish it to be. We will eventually get the milling cost down to 20 cents a ton.
 The remedy here is more or larg- CT crushers. These cost money and money is scarce, but we hope to se- cure it and to make the changes" :" he continued.
 Some time ago the mill was crush ing 15 tons of ore per day per man on the job," he explained, leach man cost $14 a day, this cost including the mans wages, the tools that he used, powder and everything that he used. Now we are crushing 22 tons or ore per day per man on the job and the cost of each man per day, including wages and all his tools and supplies, has been reduced to S10 per day This Is reduction Uf from almost a dollar per ton to less than 30 cents a ton. This was not ac- complished by a reduction of wages, but by making the milling plant more nearly mechanically perfect.

FUTURE OF ALASKA JUNEAU
 MINE LOOKS BRIGHT SAYS
 HEAD 0F THE BIC COMPANY

Starting with a milling cost ot 70 cents ton some time ago in the month of September when 200,OC0 tons of rock was treated, the milling cost per ton was p cents This rec ord could not be kept up as the course crushers could not stand the strain," Mir Bradley continued, "so a shift was laid off to allow for re pairs on the crushers. This cut down the tonnage some and brought up the cost per ton to 32 cents in October.
 We expect to run through the winter with our present force il noth- ing unforeseen occurs and as We are able to make improvements iI the course crushing plant gradually work back to the three-shift syst5m and consequent bigger tonnage through out the mill" he said.
 Sorting Success
 The sorting system now in use in the Alaska Juneau mill is a great success, according to MT Bradley. It udS icdNHbu punt NAi1AC li"NS'N ally all the waste is picked out and very little ore goes over the dump. The cost of sorting can be further reduced, MT. Bradley said, by raises that will allow the waste to fall di- rectly upon endless belts that will take it to the dump in the Channel. This reduction in cost may come later, he said.
 Summing the whole situation up, MT. Bradley said that the whole ques. ton at the Alaska Juneau has now been reduced to one of financing.
 Other Properties
 Asked as to the properties of the Alaska Treadwell and allied interests, of which Mr Bradley is also presi- dent Mir. Bradley said "The mill at Nixon Crossing, in the Kuskokwim, has been erected and the machinery will be taken in over the ice this winter. The value of this property is very doubtful. The property of the company at Mayo looks to be big thing and we are much encourage l by the outlook there.'
 Back In Spring
 MT Bradley said that he would be back here very early next spring to give his personal attention to the matter of putting and keeping the Alaska Juneau mine on the mining map. Besides visiting his properties in Idaho Mr. Bradley will devote considerable time to arranging the financial affairs of the Alaska lu- neau Gold Mining Company this winter.
