Coal has been discovered in various
sections of Alaska. These fields are
OF unique value because of their Local
ton, these being the nearest Of all
sessions of the United StatesFi Fit-aSe, Il
American coal mines to all of the ISL
and possessions of the United States
on the Pacific, the nearest roint, in
fact, of the American mainland to Hs-

future coal supply for our island pos
