CoALIN ALASKA.


 Near Cape Lisburne, which is on the Arctic coast of Alaska, 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, are two coal-bear- ing formations of economic impor- tance. They were studied during the past summer by Mr. Arthur J. Collier, of the United States Geological Survey who, assisted by Mir. Chester Wash burn, made bis way in an open dory as far east as Cape Beauford, Of the two coal bearing formations, one, which lies east of Cape Lisburne, is of Jurrassic or Lower Cretaceous age, and the other which lies south of Cape Lisburne, is either Lower Carboniferous or Devon ian. The Mesozic coal-beariug forma- tion, which has been known the last three-quarters of a century, com mences at a point 9 miles east ofCape Lisburne and is continuously exposed along the coast to Cape Beauford, a distance of 40 miles. It contains the Corwin and Thetis mines, the loca tion of which has been shown on many recent maps of Alaska.
 Geologic study shows that the coal measures of these fields have total thickness of at least 15,OO0 it. and con- tain not less than 40 beds of coal, each over foot thick. The aggregate thick ness of all the beds seen by Mr. Collier is over 150 it. Eleven of them are more than it. thick and contain coal of good quality. Analysis of samples from some of the beds show the pro- duct to be low grade bituminous coal A limited amount has been mined here since 1879 for whalers and revenue cut ters. Several cargoes were mined in 1901 and sold at Nome markets for SIS and S2o ton, in competition with Comax and Washington coal at S25 ton.
 None of the coal beds has been per mauently developed. The coal pro- duced was mined from the croppings along the sea cliff and boated off to the ships through the surf. There is no harbor for vessels nor protection from any but south winds. Iu 1908 a small amount of coal, probably not exceeding 20 or 30 tons, was produced at the Cor win mine. In 1904 about 20 tons were taken by the steamship Corwin, and about 10 more tons were mined for consumption at the Point Hope whal- ing station.
 The Paleozic coals outcrop at three points along the coast, 4, 8, and 12 miles respectively, south of Cape Lis burne. The coal bearing formation extends southward for a distance of about 40 miles, and reaches the coast again at Cape Thompson. Beds over it. in thickness occur at each of the localities noted. No analysis of these coals has yet been made. They are bi- luminous and of considerably better grade than the Mesozoic coals of the region. They are totally undeveloped, but in 1903 a few tons were mined from cropping in the sea cliffs and used at the Point Hope whaling station.- Engineering and Mining Journal.

William Maxwell,
War Correspondent

| William Maxwell, now in the Far
East as war correspondent for one Of
the big London dailies, is, perhaps, the
best all around journalist that London
possesses to-day.
Maxwell was with Kitchener to
Khartoum and has the medal with
clasp for Omdurman He went to
South Africa and was present at all
the preliminary fighting, including
Elardslaagte and Lombard's Kop. He
was in Ladysmith during the siege.
When Maxwell was free of Lady
smith he went by way of Durham,
Port Elizabeth and Kimberley to
Bloomfontein, where he joined Lord
| Roberts, who was with the main army.
He was present at all engagements up
to the Portuguese frontier He crossed
Delagoa Bay and interviewed Kruger.
Retiring to Durham and Pretoria, he
went out after DeWet, and doubtless
would have been present at his cap
ture had not the Boer leader left
earlier in the day and continued to do
so with regularity that became habi-
| tual. In all this travelling Maxwell
had more excitement than falls to the
usual lot of even the war correspond
ent More times than did Job he es-
capped by the skin of his teeth
Among Maxwell's American friends
one of the warmest is Major Burn
ham, the famous scout, to whom Lord
Roberts wrote, 81 believe there is not

man at the game realized that his
words, which might fairly be taken as

so-called yellow journalism" their
unwllllngness to subscribe for and

which they advertised, purchased and
turtlvely read all about everything
nasty and bad

you be spiritual being made in the

shall deliver me from the body of this

The Rule Of the Dutch
in Java

The Government clerks in Java arc
probably the best educated civil ser
wants in the world. They are all
Dutch, of course, for Java is owned
and governed by Holland, and every
mothers son of them is and must by
law be a graduate Of the university
at Delft.
Special courses are maintained there
for those who expect to go out to
Java in the Government service, and
none can crafty the ambition to do
so unless he has mastered French.
German, English, and at least two Of
the four languages spoken in Java,
one of which must be Malay. The
higher officials and the judges must
speak three of the native tongues.
1t is forbidden to native to speak
Dutch, or high Javanese, to a supe-
rior, and no superior would think Of
using anything but low Javanese to
an inferior Servants must always
appear before their masters with
covered heads. Javanese, except OF
high rank, may not smoke in the pres
ence of any European The Dutch say
that if they did not insist on native
recognition Of their superiority they
would not be able to attain their au-
thority at all The etiquette of rank
as insisted upon among the Javanese
themselves is even more severe than
that imposed by the Dutch upon the
natives.
