NEW DOUBLE STARS.
Many Pairs Recently Discovered Which Are Actually Associated
 Together.

Lick observatory reports the dis covery recently of over 100 pairs of double stars. These double stars ap- pear tn tie naked eye as single stars but through the telescope their binary character is seen It is known that in 'i' rases tliese double stars are nni s.T.'ly two stars that lie in tie -a:ne t.ifrction and appear to t, e eye to hr close together. while in re a.iir leiny far apart; but they are actually associated together. and re- volve round each other. In some eases four or five stars are so grouped round single center of gravity. The periods of revolution of many of the double stars have been noted. These periods run generally from 25 to mo years. and the relative position of i'ie two stars changes so slowly that observations covering many years. and sometimes several lifetimeS. ave to be made before full data can ,, ad.

2 It is said that Chas. D. Lane who has invested heavily at Nome, will visit the Panama camp this sum- mer and be prepared to spend g, 100000 or 8, ,OOO, ,OOO in opening of placer properties, building fumes and other enterprises incidental to the work. This statement was made by Captain E. T. Barnette, head of the Northern Commercial interests in the Panama and the man who first secured foothold in the camp.
 Captain Barnette added: Fair banks will have several new enter prises, of which l learned while outside. One is a telephone line to be installed by Captain Fuller of the Dawson Telephone company. MT. Fuller gave me instructions while was in San Francisco to place order for poles for his lines as soon as l reach Fairbanks. He will build up the creeks to Pedro, with branches to Cleary and Fair banks creeks, and extensions will made from these points as demand ell. A bank will be opened in Fairbanks as soon as supplies can be landed there. The safe and vault and other equipment has been ordered. It will be backed by Americans.
 The new steamer Panama. which the Northern Commercial is hay ing built for the Panama, will reach Fairbanks on the initial trip not later than Aug. 1. The steamer will be of the same type as the Koyukuk, on the Koyukuk river, only much larger and more power ful. It will draw only 10 inches of water when not loaded with car go. It will be 13O feet long, have 3O-foot beam and 16-inch cylinders and have a capacity of 200 tons of freight and 30 passengers, and will be able to shove a laden barge in addition.
 The Northern Commercial cal- culates on putting 5000 to 1000 tons of freight into the Panama country this summer. I under stand another big company intends to place 1000 tons in there.

Alaska Has Best Coal
Geological Survey Makes Glowing Report on A1aska's
 Coal.

Coal of a superior quality 10 the famous Pocahontas of West Vir. ginia, and other coal that compares favorably with some of the semi anthracites of the Pennsylvania fields, has been discovered in Alas ka. Some of 1t is far better than any other coal found on the Pacific coast. The genuineness of the dis covery is vouched for by the United States geological survey, and there seems to be no doubt of the great extent of the deposits. Referring to a certain part of these new Alas ka coal fields, one of the officers of the geological survey who has made thorough investigation, makes this broad statement:
 "There is no coal with which it is likely to come into general com petition to which it can be com- pared, for it is higher in heating power and in purity than any coal that is mined on the Pacific coast, either in the United States or Can- ada, or any coal mined in Aus tralia."
 The officer of the geological sur vey who investigated the Alaska coal deposits last summer is Dr. G.. c. Martin. He says that the inn portance to the whole Pacific coast of an extensive deposit of good Alaskan coal cannot be overesti- mated, and that such a coal is sit- uated from 12 to 9 miles inland from Controller bay. A good deal has been said heretofore about these coal deposits, but there has been nothing authoritative on the subject. The geological survey guards carefully against exploiting any doubtful schemes, and its re- port on the Alaska coal deposits will therefore attract serious att tention.
 The fields in question lie behind the Controller bay oil fields, at the foot of the Chugach mountains. The coal and oil were found to be in two distinctly separate forma- tions that lie in roughly parallel belts. There is, however, he says, no necessary connection between the oil and coal, and it does not follow that where one is found the other will occur. The coal area covers about S5 square miles, and the northern portion seems to have a larger number of seams than the southern. The physical properties  of the coal are much alike in all the seams, and the coal resembles the harder bituminous coal of the east rather than the anthracites. It is said that if this coal IS to used for domestic purposes it will have to be carefully handled, for like all bituminous coal, it crumbles easily.
 The most promising coal seen by Dr. Martin comes from a 2O-fOoi seam now exposed in the tunnel on carbon creek. Its composition shows it to be a semi-anthracite of somewhat the same composition as the Bernicc basin coal of Pennsyl- vania, although it is purer and has a higher heating power. It differs from the anthracite of Pennsyl- vania and Wales in having more volatile matter in proportion to Il c amount of fixed carbon. It is ai-
