Coal Prospecting.

Ernest Eirberger, representing the Alaska and Elmira Mining and Pros pecting company, of Elmira, N. r., ar rived from Rake, Kupreanof Island, last week. Mir. Kirberger has had an expedition in charge, exploring for coal with diamond drill. He is look ing over the coal situation in South eastern Alaska.
 On the eastern shore of Keku straits, between 56o and 57o North latitude, is the island of Kupreanof, sometimes called Rake Island. from the Rake tribe of Indians which inhabit it's shores. In Hamilton Bay, where ex- ploration has been carried on, coal out crops between tide marks on the east side of the Bay, 4 miles from the en- trance. The coal seams are at varying distances of 20 to 50 feet from each other, with dip of from 25o to 300 to the southeast, with strike northeast and southwest. At the surface, and rising above high water mark, is a coarse-grained sandstone overlain by coarse conglomerate. The coal occurs in several veins varying from to 20 inches in thickness. Underneath the sandstone is found a layer of slate up on a layer of shale mixed with coal containing rosin, and burning freely Abundant fossil remains are found throughout the formation, principally of the ancient coniferous forests:
 It is reported by the natives that 35 years ago the Russians used to come to Hamilton Bay to get coal for their yes sels. It is of light, emi-bituminous character, burning very rapidly, evolv. ing a great amount of heat.
 A shaft had been sunk by the Rus sians, and small, crude windlass car be seen to this day.
 Since that time explorations were made by private prospectors, who have dug shafts, or cleared off the surface of the coal seams, but never had sui ficient capital to determine whether there were any workable seams.
 If the shores of the Bay should prove to contain commercially valuable coal. there is nothing in the dificultiei of navigation for steam vessels to pre- vent it's being made available. Th' land about the Bay is rather low ane moderately level, mostly wooded witt spruce and hemlock.
 On the west shore of Kupreanof Is land. about miles north of Hamilton Bay, is the harbor and settlement nov known as Rake, an Indian village hay ing about 250 inhabitants (Indians) ant less than half dozen whites.
