Alaska Crabs
 Are In Demand
rom Fridays s Daily.

Included in the cargo of the steam ship Hum boldt on her last trip from Alaska was a consignment of 150 dozen cooked crabs, the shipment of which may mark an epoch in an industry important to both Alaska and Puget Sound, says the Pacific Fisherman. During three months in the summer, when famous Dundeness crabs are in their best, it is impossible to obtain them, this period constituting the closed season imposed by the state game laws in order to protect this sheltish from threatened extermina- tiop.
 Fishermen in Alaska waters recently discovered that not only are quantities of large crabs to be caught along the shores of the northern territory, but that they are of quality which is the equal, if not the superior, of the Dun- geness variety. Since then a series ot experiments with the Alaska crab have been conducted by H. J. Gar dner, president of the Seattle Oyster $ Fish Company, who recently spent several weeks in Alaska.
 After unsuccessful attempts 10 ship crabs to Seattle alive, 1t was found that the crabs, if boiled immediately after being taken from the water and packed in ice, would reach Seattle in perfect condition. This experiment. has proved highly satisfactory, and the result may be a new industry in Alaska and crabs the year around in Seattle.
 The Alaska crabs now bring about JO per cent. more than the Sound sheIllisb do in season, owing to their scarcity, but development of the industry may result iD lower prices.

Seattle. Aug. 28-In the mines exhibit of the Philippines shown at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposi- on, that of the local coal production shows an important possibility. For the past several years the Government has W idely experimented with pro- duets from various mines and locali- ties, with the intention of locating a supply that would make it possible for securing our own territory, coal in su fficient quantity and steam value, to supply our ships of war and con- merce.
 On the island of Bataan, in Albay Province, the War Department has opened extensive coal depoists which from practical tests show a stream value Equal to that of the Japanese and Australian mines. The Exposi- tion exhibits shows specimens for these government mines in weight reaching over one ton. The coal from these mines has been used in vessels of the Coast Guard service, and the U. s. A. Transport Dix, made her last voyage across the Pacific with the same fuel.
 The tests so far given have been practical and somwhat severe, but the Bltaan coal has in nearly every instance given excellent results. The beds of the island are extensive and the output, if the quality continues is pract caIly unlimited. Coal of a poorer steam quality is widely distri buted throughout the group, although the active work of prospecting being prosecuted by the government, IS expected to develop coal fields similar to those of Japan.

LOCAL BUILDING

The Golden building in this city
is undergoing some improvements.
The corner occupied by the Bank
saloon is being painted and it is
the intention of the owners of the
structure to paint the entire build
ing if the paint shows up to their
satisfaction.
The Golden building was the first
stone structure in Tonopah. In the
days when it was practically in a
class by itself, it was looked upon
as monumental in proportions. How
ever, as the years roll on, Tonopah
saw fit to erect larger buildings,
until now what was the pride of the
camp is but a pigmy compared with
its more aristocratic neighbors. The
first stone structure was a mighty
fine investment. In the seven years
that it has stood it has taken in
over $4,000 in rent, an annual in
come of nearly $4,000. The orig
inal cost was in the neighborhood
of $4,000 from which it is seen
that the building has more than
tripled the first outlay.
