‎SMALL ARCHIVE OF PHOTOGRAPHS MAPS BUSINESS AGREEMENTS AND A LETTER RELATING TO THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CHICKALOON COAL MINING COMPANY OF ALASKA‎

‎Various places in Alaska & California 1920. Includes one large colored folding map 20 x 40 inches; three folding blueprint maps two of them 13 1/2 x 21 1/2 inches the third 9 1/4 x 13 inches; a folding cross- section; four photographs three of them 3 1/4 x 5 inches mounted to card - one a cyanotype; three folding printed legal documents; a 2pp. typed letter signed to the manager of the company; and a pamphlet on coal mining see below. Large map with stains in margins small areas of separation at cross-folds. Other items with light wear. Overall very good. An interesting archive relating to the early operations of the Chickaloon Coal Company of Chickaloon Alaska. Chickaloon located some seventy-five miles up the Matanuska River from Anchorage remains an area of interest to those who would mine coal there. The company was founded in 1917 by a Californian who leased the land for his mines from the federal government. The collection documents the formation of the company and its capitalization and includes maps of the area. The largest of the maps is a USGS "Topographical Map of Lower Matanuska Valley Alaska" dated 1918 and based on surveys done in 1909 and 1913. The location of the "Anthracite Ridge" is printed on the maps and lots 10 11 and 12 of the Chickaloon Coal Company are highlighted in red ink as are a couple other areas of concern to the company. The two larger blueprint maps show the progress of prospecting in Leasing Unit No. 11 one of them corrected to April 7 1918 the other to June 1 1918 with shading showing the work done in various months. The smaller blueprint map dated June 13 1918 shows the proposed wagon road from Chickaloon to King River. The cross- section shows the "folding of measures" in the Chickaloon area. The three printed legal documents were all executed in California. The earliest is dated 1917 and early 1918 being an indenture describing the actions of Lars Netland of Oakland and his wife in leasing coal land in Alaska from the U.S. government. The second document dated Feb. 15 1918 records the loan of $4000 by M.J. Fontana to the Chickaloon Coal Company in return for stock in the company. The third document dated ten days later pertains to the issuance of shares in the company. Fontana is the largest shareholder by far followed by Lars Netland A.L. Brizzolara and W.A. Gompertz the manager of the company. The photographs show an outcrop of coal disclosed by railway cuttings and three others that show a ship one of the pictures a cyanotype. The typed letter is dated June 27 1918 and is addressed to W.A. Gompertz manager of the company. The subject is the drilling process and different techniques locations and angles that might work including the use of diamond drill bits. Also included is a copy of a 1920 government-issued pamphlet entitled MINING IN THE MATANUSKA COAL FIELD AND THE WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT ALASKA by Theodore Chapin which discusses the work of the Chickaloon mining company. unknown‎
