 The seal rookeries are becoming year by year smaller, and the killing by the North American Commercial Company's agents during the past year has been about l3,000 on St. Paul and 300 on St. George Island.

No person or as- sociation of persons is permitted to sell, or bargain to sell, the coal lands he may locate, to another person or as sociation until he shall have paid for the same and received deed from the Government. It is to avoid this sort of thing, which has been practiced in timber land locations, that the laws are so defnate as to the requisite acts to obtain title to coal and forest lands.

 Delegates Swineford and Ryan are greatly pleased with their interview yesterday with Speaker Cannon, says a Washington dispatch of the 12th.

He is for rail roads, saying that if they are built the wagon roads will take care of them selves. In accordance with yesterdays interview the Alaskans in Washington will draft bill for railroads covering Alaska pretty thoroughly, the govern. ment to guarantee the bonds similar to the plan adopted for the Philippines. It is believed that Cannon will put such bill through the House, and if so, it will pass the Senate. Swineford and Ryan say that with such legisla- ton, construction of roads will begin next year. They will be narrow gauge.

 A bill appropriating s20,0O0 for the construction of hospital at Bristol Bay, Alaska, was introduced by Rep resentative Kahn, of California, Jan. 5. It is urged that this hospital is neces- sary on account of the large number of men employed in canneries far from the means of medical treatment.
 The Sitka Alaskan has no sympathy for those who complain about the eX cessive freight rates, charged by steam ship companies, and says: "Finally, as proof that the P. c. s. S. is not all greed, we may state that they shipped and conveyed the totem poles which arrived last Wednesday on the Al-R, without making one iota of charge"
 The preliminary estimate of the di- rector of the mint, issued on January 3, places the amount of gold produced in Alaska during 1905 at S14, ,650,1O0 an increase over 1904 of more than S5,00O,- 900. California, which holds second place as gold producer, is estimated to have produced gold valued at ST. 5O2,6OO. As the product in California is annually decreasing, while that ill Alaska is expanding rapidly, another year will probably see California crowded out of second place and Alas ka comparing with Colorado, which has a long lead for first place.
 A prominent Toronto coal dealer, spe aking of the cubical contents of a ton of coal, says: "The space which a ton of coal should occupy depends al- together on the quality of the coal. The highest grade of anthracite should measure 32 cubic feet-that is to say, it should i'll bin four feet long by four feet wide and two feet high. l have never known the high grade of coal to measure less. The poorer coals will run up as high as forty cubic feet. The coal weighs lighter, and consequently more of it is needed to make up the ton, hence an increase in the cubic measurement. A coal that contains a considerable proportion of stone would measure less than 32 feet. but, as have said, the best grade will every time fill that space"
