ALAskA,s BLACK GOLD.
Her Coal Fields said To Re Richer
Than Her Gold Reserves.

Than Her Gold Reserves.
While Alaska's gold reserves are
large they are in no way unique, for
refined gold is the same, whatever
the source. But when it comes to coal
fields Alaska has no competitor. Its
store Of highgrade fuel cannot be
eQualled in quality west of the Rock
les.
In fact to find anthracite and bitu-
minous coal which compares in fuel
value with that OF Alaska one must
come East to Pennsylvania. These
Goals are, therefore, the key to the
commercial situation on the west
coast. For a. high-grade, steaming
coal used for manufacturing industries
OF a merchant marine or a coke for
shelters in the Western states one
must turn to Alaska
Hence the growing population Of
the West has vital interest in the
development of these coal fields.
These Goals are of even national inn
portance, for of all our Pacific possess
sions Alaska alone can supply our
Eattleships with smokeless fuel The
quality of this anthracite and btu
minous coal is not as yet determined,
but it certainly is not unlimited and
hence should not be wasted. To use
it, however, will not be to waste it I'M
less it be improperly mined A sur
veyed area of about 100 square miles
lie known to be undertake with these
Goals, and it is probable that further
investigation may show an extension
of the field.
The quantity Of this anthracite and
bituminous coal is not as yet deter
mined, but it certainly is not unlimited
and hence should not be wasted. To
use it, however, will not oe to waste it
unless it be improperly mined. A
surveyed area of ABOUT 100 square
miles is known to be underlaid with
these Goals, and it is probable that
further investigation may show an ex-
tension Of the field.
A rough estimate of the quantity
within this surveyed area gave some
6,0OO,O00,OO0 tons. or more than one
and a half times the entire production
of Pennsylvania since coal mining be-
gan. It is fair to assume that the
coal is worth 81 ton, which would
make its total value about forty
times as great as the entire gold out
put of Alaska to the present time. It
Is probable, therefore, that the value
of the coal fields exceeds that Of the
gold reserves.
These Goals are, however, practical
ly untouched, for the only coal mining
in Alaska is that of some lisnftes for
local use. A few years ago statistics
showed that Alaska's entire export Of
coal for a year was four tons, while it
produced fifteen tons of gold. There
are also some bituminous Goals,
though of less fuel value, in the Alas
ka peninsula, on the Yukon and on
the Arctic slope. Ignite Goals and
peat are abundant and widely distrib-
uted, and some of these possess great
value for local consumption From

SAYS He IS misunderstood
DECLARES THAT FALSE IMPRESS
SION is AFLoAT CONCERNING
HIS IDEAS ABOUT FUND.

Washington, April 27.-Represen-
tative Tawney, chairman of the house
committee on appropriations, talked
with President Taft at the white
house today about his plans for a pres
idential trip through the west next
summer At the conclusion Tawney
said he would introduce a bill proyid-
ing for $4,000 to be placed at the
presidents disposal as travelling ex-
penses
Tawney said a false impression
was abroad concerning his ideas about
a fund for the president but this was
because he thought the president was
not serious in his desire to travel ex-
tensively.
President TAFT Is particularly enx-
fous to see Alaska and learn the pre-
else conditions there. Tawney said
he believed the bill for the appropria-
tion would pass without trouble.

already been put to work and it is un-
derstcod that four more crews will
be put into the harness again at once.
The reason given out for again rout-
ing trains this way is to relieve a
congestion on the Belen cutoff and at
sidings in lower New Mexico and
Arizona. However, 1t is known that
the alkali water on the cutoff, which
has to be hauled long distances at
that, is playing havoc with engine
boilers, putting them out of commits
sion at lively rate.
