ALASKA IS SUFFERING
FOR WANT Of FUEL
Plenty of Coal Underground,
But Unable to Mine a
Ton of It.

Alaskan industrial development has
come to a standstill on the coast owing
to the lack Of cheap fuel. This is the re-
port brought from Alaska by A. Fl.
Brooks, in charge of the Alaska work Of
the geological survey, who has just re-
turned from a field season in the big
territory. The people of the territory are
in the rather peculiar position of hav-
ing large, cheap and very desirable coal
supply right under their feet and not be-
ing able to mine a ton of it. The rail-
roads and other industries that want
cheap coal have to depend on British
Columbia and Japan, which send little
coal. not very high grade, at from Sill
to SIT ton. The difference between this
price and three-dollar coal, which might
he mined in the territory, marks the line
between success and failure In industrial
Enterprises.
The coal resources OF Alaska have been
tied up by the Interior Department,
whether through the law itself or the ad-
ninistration of the law the scientists of
he geological survey do not undertake

rensive survey of the region and they
know that there is a lot of good coal
there, but under the law the people can
not mine it. Much of the coal land is I'M
-urveyed-in fact. practically all of it
and until there are maps from which
laims can be located nobody can get
latent to a claim.
