MONDAY, JULY 9, 1945 COAL MINE AT POINT, BARROW SUPPLYING THIRD OF FUEL NEEDS Boint Barrow's Fskimo-manned | experimental coal mine last year | produced approximately one-third of that Arctic Coast community’s fuel needs, 475 tons, it was disclosed - here today by Edward Burnell, man- ager of the mine for the Alaska Native Scrvice. Barrow fuel needs, including those of the ANS facilities there, have been estimated at 1,500 tons yearly, which amount Mr. Burnell is con-; fident will be produced as soon as | adequate equipment is available on | the job. Production for the prv\'mus‘l year was approximately 100 tons. i Mr. Burnell, who has been*in charge of the mine for two years, is in Juneau for about three weeks | working on a program of future re quircments of the mining exper ment. He plans to return directl, Barrow, after completing his effe here to secure needed equipment His first immediate concern on return to Barrow will be construc- tion of an airfield to serve the mine. The Barrow coal mining project | can be operated only in wintertime, | when coal produced can be sledded | over the. frozen ground to the com- | munity, 70 miles away. Tractor and other equipment plannad to be de- livered to Barrow last summer got no further than Nome, Mr. Burnell declared, yet the mine was able to deliver a considerable portion of the community’s fuel n2eds to Barrow. With sufficient equipment, the minc should be able to meet all the vil. lage’s requirements. ‘The mining experiment was under- taken by th» ANS with technical advice from the U. S. Bureau of Mines and with funds made avail- able by the Division of Territories and Island Possessions of the De- partment of the Interior. It was designed to relieve Barrow Eskimos from dopendence for fuel on pitch formed by seepage of oil from near- by pools.
