Talks Assessment Work

R. ". A. Simons writes as follows to the Post-Intelligencer:
 "As one interested in mining claims located in Alaska and elsewhere, wish to file my protest against the suspension of the mining regulations of May, 1872 (requiring s100 expend- ed each year on each claim) for the year 1909, as now advocated in con- gress by Delegate Andrews of New Mexico.
 While it is true that there are many mining properties so isolated that money spent on their develop ment, pending transportation facili- ties, would be almost wasted, yet in suspending the assessment work for this year the rich and greedy would only have another opportunity to spend their assessment work money in loca- ting nev' properties.
 If congress thinks seriously of suspending the law requiring assess ment work for this year it should only include such mining claims as have been in possession of the present own CTS for five years or more. Also, all locating of mining claims should be discontinued for like preiod. But
 if it be a good thing to suspend the assessment work for this year, why would it not be good thing to do next year, and so on indfnitely?
 "The law might with propriety be amended that in lieu of spending Sl00 in assessment work on each claim the money could be paid into the record CT of mining district, to be spent in opening up and in improving roads in said district. But this amendment, il made. should only cover such proper ties as are absolutely out side the reach of transportation; in other words, where the ore body, if opened up could not be placed on the market at a profit on account of the lack of
 transportation.

Wickersham on Free Coal

Washington, April 20, 1909. While tariff legislation has apparently had little uf interest in it to the people of Alaska, the Payne bill contains one schedule which threatens to pract cally ruin the infant coal industry in the Territory, and that schedule has had the earnest attention of Delegate Wickersham for some days past.
 The Dingley bill carried duty of CT cents per ton on coal. The duty is entirely eliminated in the Payne bill and coal is placed on the free list. To protect the industry to the fullest possible extent Judge Wickersam i'm mediately inaugurated a campaign Of education which promises to bear frnit.
 Letters and statistical statements were prepared and sent to Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, and to the senators from the states of Washing ton, Oregon and California in the en- deavor to interest them in tue subject. Replies to these communications are all couched in the most favorable lan- guage and the senators approached will make the effort to have the duty retained at 67 cents per ton as it stands in the Aldrich bill which is now before the senate.
 Senator Elkins, a part of whose great wealth was created in the operating of coal mines in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and who might very

PEAT FOR FUEL
Government Foresees Day When Peat Will be Used. Some
 Experiments

Peat is partly deoomposed vegetable matter that has formed either where the ground is saturated with water most of the time or where it is per manently covered with water. It is the dark .coored or nearly black soil found in bogs and swamps, commonly a distinction is made between peat and muck, the latter name being re- stricted to those forms of swamp de- posits that contain too much minera matter to burn freely. Dry peat may be very fibrous and light colored or compact and structureless and dark brown or black. It is usually some- what lighter in color when dry than when freshly dug. When wet it con- tains as rule from so to 90 per cent or more of water; that is. short ton of wet peat rarely contains more than 300 pounds of dry peat and may yield as little as loo pounds. In the wet con- dition it is entirely noncombustible. and the various processes by which it is prepared for use or market consist principally of methods for ridding it of water quickly and cheaply and for increasing it's fuel efficiency and trans portability.
 The great peat deposits that are widely scattered in the northern part of the United States have at various times aroused strong public interest. In the winter of l902-3, for instance, when the strike of the coal miners in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania brought the country to realize that it was to large extent dependent on these miners and their employers for an important part of it's fuel supply, a number of writers familiar with the conditions in the countries of northern Europe called attention to the fact that those countries, possessing a eli mate much more severe than ours, were using great quantities of peat for fuel, while in this country, al- though the material was abundant, it had only exceptionally been pre- pared for use and then in the crudest way. During the next few months many experimental and speculative plants were established to convert peat into fuel, but unfortunately many of these attempts were financially unsuc- cessful, and as the strike was soon over and coal could again be had at reasonable prices and very little peat fuel was put on the market at any price, interest in peat waned and at the present time the public is almost indifferent to it. In the few places where it can be purchased however, it finds a ready sale and is thoroughly satisfactory for all domestic uses.
 An interesting account of the na- ture, origin, and uses of peat has just been published by the United Sta tes Geological Survey as Bulletin 376. Copies of this bulletin may be obtained free of charge by applying to the Di- rector of the Survey at Washington, D. c.
