COAL IN ALASKA.
Exceedingly Rich Deposits Waiting For
People to Help Themselves.

People TO Help themselves.
Many shrewd people in Alaska are
beginning to think there would be more
money just now in the coal resources
of tho country than in the much talked
about gold mines. The gold mines do
not appear to be panning out SO we'll
late]y-that is, in comparison with the
cost of the whole process of getting to
the mines and living there while get
ting out the gold. The business seems
to have been somewhat oyerboomed.
But several experts who have lately
been prospecting the coal Of
the coast region believe coal getting
could be made immediately profitable.
On the east shore Of Cooks inlet
there is a big vein of coal fully five feet
thick entirely exposed at low tide. All
that is Necessary to get the coal is to
take a crowbar and pry it out in as big
blocks as desired. A recent investiga-
ton Of this deposit showed that 20 feet
below the first vein is another vein six
feet thick, and three other veins were
found in tho Immediate neighborhood.
All the veins are horizontal and extend
for miles along the shore. Considerable
quantities Of this coal have been used by
the steamship Chehalis, which runs be-
tween Juneau and Cooks inlet, and the
chief chg neer says it has better steam
ing qualities han the British Colum-
bian coal, and is III many respects bet
ter than any other coal procurable on the
Pacific coast It does not clinker at all.
Some San Francisco people sent a big
bark, with q scow and a party Of miners
to this place last winter, and the barl
was loaded with the coal at very little
cost, and t." cargo brought the specu
lators considerable profit. One mine1
has already squattcd On 600 acres OF thu
property, aNd others are following hi

The NIGHT That 1 Proposed.

The night thai l proposed to her how we'll do
recall
The way the Inai!en looked and how she acted
through it all!
She did not seem one whit disturbed. Her
checks did not turn pale,
Nor did she blush or wiring her hands as in
some lovers tale.
Nor sweetly parted were her lips, nor yet too
tightly closed.
She did not heave one gentle sigh the night
that | proposed.
She did not catch her breath nor start nor fall
upon my neck
Nor tre1able like an aspen leaf. She was no
total wreck.
Nor was she too self possessed. but just a
maiden sweet .
Who acquiesced in what. / said as il 1t were =
treat
To leave her home and go where We could have
aQuiet talk
The night that I proposed 70 her that we
shouid take a walk.

FINANCIAL NEWS.
Russell Sage Talks on the
Summer Market.
There is Strong Talk Of Reducing
Northwest Dividends.
snecial 10 The News

NEW YORK, May 25.-Last evening Mr.. Rus
sell Sage said 81 believe that we shall have
a more active market this summer than any
that We have experienced in many long years.
There are a good many conditions that must
be regarded as eminently satisfactory TO an
improving speculation. The revival in bust
ness has gone sufficiently far to encourage
the belief that we shall have more than or
dinarily busy summer"
1t would not be at all surprising If tho re-
ported decision to lower Northwest dividend
TO l1S or 2 per cent. should be correct. Mr..
Depew stated publicly some weeks ago that
there would be nothing earned on the stock
in the last half of the current fiscal year.
He is reported to have said yesterday that
the feeling was in ia or of ~ per cent. 1t Is
known that Western officials have been of the
opinion that dividends ought to be reduced.
1t was regarded a month ago as certainty
that some reduction would be made. The
improvement in earnings in the last few
weeks has created doubt on the subject. The
real issue is whether the company will think
it best to pay the regular dividends out OF the
old surplus or to bring dividends down near
the earnings Of the year.
Insiders in Gas say that they do not intend
to take any fixed position until the Illinois
Senate takes action upon the consolidation
bill. Great pressure is being brought 10 bear,
which will probably be successful, to induce
Governor Altgeld to sign this measure. II the
executive Of Illinois does as his friends re-
quest, Chicago Gas Win have That rise that II
is fairly entitled to, but which it has not an
ticipated even to an infnitesimal degree.
