The truth about the Steel Trust is becoming sensational and the only shadow over the picture so far as the stockholders are concern ed, is that its enormous earnings may cause Congress to give the tariff q real revision instead of the ''re- adjust ment" that has been planned.

ALASkA'S COAL FIELDS.

\ paragraph going the rounds of the press quote the United States Geological. Survey as authority for the statement that "one-fourth of Alaska is a coal deld." This manitestly CT oneous statement is probably founded ou SD interview given out by Alfred H. Brooks. the chief of the Alaskan division of the Survey. on the subject of the coal resources of the Territory Mr. Brooks statement was that about one-foursh of Alaska, or l5o, GOO square miles, is. so far as it's useful and pre- cious mineral resources are concerned. practically an unexplored region-ar unopened book-and that when the coal fields of the Territory are fully explored they may prove 10 be double ,he present known area.
 Geologic and reconnaissance surveys have HOW been made of coal areas in Alaska covering about la,0oo square miles. These areas include deposits ranging from Ignite and low-grade bisuminous coal to the highest grades of bituminous, coking and anthracite r coal. Coal is, however, known to exist in the comparatively unexploreo regions Of the Territory. estimated by MT. Brooks S. approximately one quarter of it's entire area, and il may. as stated. be present in commercially valuable deposits For instance the Cape Lisburne coal field. located in far northw estern Alaska, has been only partially examined by tne govern mens geologists. The coal of this field is bituninous, ranging from low to high grade. and the field is believed 10 De the eastern end of large coal area.

FORESTRY CRITICS.

\ man much misunderstood and
 undeseryingly abused is Clifford Pin chot, chief of the Forestry Service at
 Washington. keen-si ghted enough to observe much needless waste in our fuel and tim Der resources, which could be remedied b. the enactment of few moderate restrictions wholly in the interest of wise national economy, Mr. Pinchot has for num- Der of years assiduously confined him. self to study of these problems, in the effort to administer such whole some regulations as would prevent a
 waste or improper use of the re- sources, at the same time giving due consideration to the rights and priv ieges of he settler, the cattleman. the miner and the lumberman.
 In pursuance of this policy, the De partment of the Interior some time ago ordered that some twenty-five thousand square miles Of Colorado's tinbered area be included in a national forest reserve, with certain restrictions surrounding the settle ment of the inclosed lands and the re- movaI therefrom of timber for mining and other commercial purposes.
 Bitter attacks upon the Forestry Service. in condemnation of it's policy. followed. Thes attacks seem mainly to have been inspired by cot porations whose plans to secure large portions of the public domain, including yalu- able water, timber and fuel rights, by stealthy mean. had been intrefered with. The feeble foundation of these criticisms lies principally in the mis- representation of the policies of the Forestry Service and twisting of facts by the yellow dog press concern ing the rights of homesteaders to set tie the land and of miners to the use of the tim Der, whereas calm discus sion is the thing most needed.
 The miner is, perhaps, most yitaIly affected bg the forest regulations, be- cause mining is the chief indutsry in this timbered and mountainous reg. ions included in the reserve, and also because large and easily accessible supplies of timber are essential to mining operations. Yet these re- strictions seem to place no hardship upon the mining industry: in fact. the miners recognize them as a distinct advantage because of the prevention of waste and the renewal of the sup ply of standing timber.

Whatever opinion one may privately hold of Mir. Pinchot's policies. his sincerity cannot be challenged, for he has always been willing to meet his critics in personal discussion, and now comes forward with the announcement that he wishes 10 meet western min ing men for the purpose of consider ing this question.

JACK LoNDoN'S NEW BOOK.

Jack London has just written book of IF, 0oo words entitled Martin Eden" The Pacific Monthly has purchased for g., 0o0 the serial rights for this vivid story. It began in the September number of the Pacific Monthly and will run for twelve months. Martin Eden is a eharac- ter study sstory of tighter-a tighter as newsboy in the alleys of San Francisco: fighter as a rowdy in slums; and finally. a fighter for educa- ton and culture. struggling against .he odds of common birth and vulgar environment, with 8 desperation ot courage that presents powerful blending of brutality of strength with sublimi,y of purpose. His inspiration is woman of the higher sphere of life. but his motive is the mighty im- pulse that animates soul and brain born to expand until lettering ignor- ance is sundered and ignoble influence trampled under foot. IL is not too much to say of Martin Eden" that it possesses more of fascination and yirility, grips the imagination and the sympathies more keenly. and im- parts more of courage, than any book produced in years. Send 50 cents iu stamps to The Pacific Monthly and they will mail you The Pacific Monthly for six months beginning with the Septem Der mum Der, in which the first installment of Londou's story appears
