ALASKA COAL
Geological Survey Report of
 Its Production

An examination of the Alaska coal fields was made by Arthur J. Collier, oi the geological survey, and two assist ants, says a Washington dispatch to the Post-Intelligeucer of the l9lh inst. Their forthcoming report says that the total amount of the coal heretofore mined in the Yukon country probably does not exceed 5000 tons, valued at sI6,OOO. The workings of the mines are of limited extent.
 Timber is convenient, and ventilation is easily obtained by air shafts to the surface. No trouble with gas has yet been experienced, and safety lamps have not been required. Care must be exercised with the lignites of the Cir ele and Rampant provinces to prevent spontaneous combustion of the coal after it is mined, and instances are re- ported of the beds taking fire. With one exception none of the mines along the Yukon in American territory are equipped with bunkers or other conven- fences for loading the coal on steamers. It is piled on the river bank and loaded with wheelbarrows.

Itis the consensus of opinion among senators and representatives who are familiar with conditions in Alaska that the present. law permitting the location of mining claims by power of attorney should be repealed, says a Washington dispatch ct Che 2),h inst. to the Ore conan. To is apparent to those who have investigated this subject that much wrong is being worked under this statute; hence it is natural a strong effort should be made during che present session to secure its repeal.
