COAL IN ARCTIC REGIONS.
Recent Attempts to Find q Supply in
 the Frigid Zone for Use


 Coal beds have been found here anc. there near the sea in Arctic lands, and though the quality of the coal is not of the best it has been exceedingly useful to a few Arctic exploring ex- petitions. One,of the latest examples is the steamer which carried fresh supplies to Mir. Pcary in northwest Greenland last year and which found II very convenient to take on a lot of coal in south Greenland before pro- ceeding to Peary's Headquarters, says the New York Sun.
 In the European Arctic, on the other hand, attempts are now making to turn the coal found there to commer- cial account. The trst experiment has not been encouraging. but the scene of activity has merely been trans ferred to another field.
 About half way between Norway and Spitzbergen is an island on which some polar bears were seen when it was discovered, and the little speck of land was accordingly named Bear island. It has been noted chiefly for the heaps of driftwood from Siberia that have lodged not only on it's east ern coast, but have also been carried inland by big waves that sometimes overwhelm the lowest part or the is- land. Over two years ago the Scandi- nayian explorer Amtrup made care- ful survey and study of this island and among the Interesting things he found were EedS Of coal
 Mir. Theodore Lerner and the Ger man Sea Fisheries union conceived the hD | Io +aJ JoI ploft these mines, and a company was -torganized for this purpose. Not great deal of money was put into the enterprise, however, and the result of it's preliminary work last year. in view of the inferior quality of the coal, the short. working season and long-distance transportation, gave so little promise for the future that the effort was not renewed during the past season. A while ago the mining property claimed by the company on Bear island was sold by auction in Hamburg and naturally brought very small price.
 The Norwegfans, however, have not been at all disheartened by the gloomy prospects of the German enterprise on Bear island. There are far larger and more promising coal fields on the southwest coasts Of Spitzbergen, and Norwegian vessels during their fish ing cruises have been giving them par ticular attention as a possible source of profit. There is now much confi- dence in Norway that money may be made in Spitzbergen coal mining, and the result is that during the past sea son several companies have been formed at various ports to carry on mining operations n these new fields. The Artcic regions. within three cen turies. have supplied many millions of dollars worth of commodities. such as whale oil and bone. fish. furs and cryolite. and it remains to be seen whether coal may be made an addi- tional source of wealth from the north frigid zcnc.
