LINES IN MAPLETOOD.
The Only Way to FirA the Bird's-Eys
II TO Cut Into the

Nobody seems 10 know what cause IL
is which produces those delicate and
beautiful lines IN maple, known AZ
bird's-ese. Some people think they
come from the hundreds of little
branches which shoot out over the
trunk Of the tree as soon as . clearing
is made around 1t. Expert timhermen
say that Is not the case. The only way
to tell bird's-eye maple tree is TO cut
1t. There are no outward signs by
which one can judge. The Railroad Ga
zette tells a story Of the late George
NJ Pullman. Many years ago he was
offered mahogany log for $1,000. to

A deal Is pending today for the sale
OF the Boston ditch from Dr. F. ]. Bos-
ton to L. A. Porter. The matter is in
pect to close the details of the trade
this evening. Mr.. L. A. Porter was

purpose for securing the old ditch was
to enable him to utilize the water for
irrigation purposes. There is about
two hundred acres of land in that vi

those interested have agreed to Mat
the ground in two and one-half and
nHe acre tracts and the water placed
on the same. The ditch is about three
and one-half miles long and is eight
feet in width on the bottom. The ditch
extends from Porters on the Clearwater
river and runs to a point near the Har-
hington mill in the east end of the CITY.
The large sough now owned by Mr..
Porter will probably be damned on

POLICE FORCE

According to q letter received by
Judge Lee, of Wales, Senator Dietrich,
of Nebraska, is making an effort to
have a system of government police
for Alaska, similar to the Northwest
Mounted Police of Canada. Mr.. Lee
recently received the following letter,
which explains itself, from William
Hamilton, assistant general agent of
education for Alaska:
Last summer U. S. Senator Dietrich
visited Alaska and British Columbia.
While in British Columbia he was
favOrably impressed with the effective
work done by the Canadian Mounted
Police force in maintaining law and
order throughout the British possess
siOns contiguous to Alaska. Senator
Dietrich is OF the opinion that similar
force organized for Alaska would be
attended with good results for our pos
sessions. He has requested me to Sc
cure the opinions Of our teachers in
Alaska with regard to this matter at
your earliest convenience. Will you
be 40 kind as to address a letter to the
commissioner of education, Washing
ton, D. G., giving your views ON the
subject"

COAL IN
ALASKA
Arthur }. Collier Reports
on Northern Fields
BEDS OF The YUKON
The Future Development Depends
Largely on the Wood Sup.
ply and Use of Oil.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The results of
an extensive examination of the coal
resources of the Yukon region in Alas
ka are about To be published in re-
port of the geological survey. The
prospects are summed up by the survey
in the following paragraph:
The future development of the Yu-
kon coal resources probably depends
not only on the wood supply, but on ihe
practlcabllity of using OIL as fuel on the
y ukou steamers. Some of the cOmpa-
MES operating steamers have begun t.
make arrangements To use oil frOm
Southern California for steaming pur-
poses. Because of the limited extent
of the coal beds of the Yukon, of the
character of the coal, the cost of min
ing and the distance of the mines from
a market, they will probably never
afford coal for expectation, but with
proper development they will probably
be sufficient to supply all Local demands
that are at present forseen."
The examination of the Alaska coal
fields was made by Arthur j. Collier,
of the geological survey, and two as
sistants. A large part of their forth
coming report is devoted to a discus
sion of the wonders of the Yukon re-
gion and the river itself In regard to
the immediate object of their visit to
Alaska, Mr.. Collier says that the tOta,
amount of the coal heretofore mined in
the Yukon country probably does not
exceed 5000 tons, valued at $40, 900.
The workings of the mines are of very
limited extent Mr.. Collier says. and
adds:
Timber is convenient and ventila-
ton 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
Gle 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 the steam
ers. 1t is piled on the river bank and
loaded with wheelbarrows."
The coal deposits are discussed under
three heads, those of the Circle prov
iiNC' OiiO PioNiuSC uhN viz
NulatO province. Descriptions OF the
beds and analysis of samples are given
in detail.
All the Goals that have been mined
in the Yukon basin are either high
grade lignites or rather low-grade BIZ
luminous Goals. With only one excep-
tion, all Goals examined in Circle and
Rampant provinces are lignites, or at
least Ignite, those of the Circle prov
ince probably being a little higher
grade than those of the Rampant prov
ince.
All the Goals examined in the Nulato
province fall within the bituminous
grade. Many steamboat men prefer
the Ignite coal from Cliff creek mine,
in the Circle province, to the Goals
from the vicinity of Nulato. as the for
mer burns more freely and produces
heat more quickly than do the Goals Of
the lower river.
