Mr. Coville. is the possibility Of cattle and
sheep raising in Alaska especially sheep rails
ing on Kadiak Island. which contains about
three million acres. found that the grass grew
TO the height OF two feet, and would furnish
excellent grazing for sheep and cattle. The
mercury seldom goes below zero. and men who
live on the island have for years raised small
iocks Of sheep for their own use. and the sheep
Uintered without food other than that which
they picked up The snowfall not being heavy,
the sheep were able 10 find good grazing all
winter The question Of transportation might
make X impractcable for sheep raising, but
wool can be shipped by slow going steamers,
and I see no reason why enterprsing ranchmen
could not raise millions Of sheep on Kadak ISL

Despite the prevailing high freights,
the work will be done steadily from

As result of the experiments which
have been made with coal taken from
the Valley Mining Company's shaft
recently sunk near Salzburg, the out
put of the mine may be tire nsformed
into coke before being put on the mar.
ket.
Samples of coal taken from the mine
were made into coke at the Bay City
gas works and the result proved high
ly satisfactory. The coal yielded 80
bushels of coke to the ton, surpris-
ingly high percentage, as the coal from
Pennsylvania has only averaged 40
bushels. The quality of the coke is
declared to be first.class.
The fact that coke can be made of
the coal mined in Bay county may re-
suit in the location of a blast furnace
and iron mills here, as coke is an alb.
solute necessity in making iron.
