WAGON OVER SUMMER TRAIL

John Zug, superintendent of the ed wire from Major Richardson to the effect that the major had arriv- ed in Valdez from Fairbanks, over the summer trail.
 The trip was made entirely by wagon, without the use of packhorses, and occupied two weeks, or an av- craze of 33 miles a day.
 This is believed to be the first time that a wagon has been able to negotiate the trail in the summer, and is due to the extra work per formed on the road last September and October. and also this season.

VALUE OF ALASKA COAL

Accessible coal of the best Alas kan tieldS-even at half cent a ton in the ground-is worth more than most of the coal lands in the East ern states, notwithstanding their nearness to lines of transportation and to the market This statement is contained in bulletin issued by the Geological Survey.
 During the Ballinger- -Pinchot in vestigation, A H. Brooks of the Geological Survey, testified that the accessible coal in the Boring river and Matanuska districts, was worth half a cent a ton in the ground. This small figure created the Impression in the minds of many people tha;
The Alaska citizen., 1910-09-12

Alaska coal lands were of small value. The bulletin just issued says that the price at the rate named by Brooks. the best Alaska coal lands are worth from $50 to $500 an acre. values far above the average price of bituminous coal lands.
 The statement says the most ser. ious handicap has been the laws. Though laws intended to enable the individual to obtain title have been on the statute books for the last decade not an acre of land has gone to patent.

Habits of Seals.

The habits of seals are very interest
ing. The very young seal is helpless
in the water until he is taught by his
mother to swim. She takes him into
the water daily on her fin and dumps
him in and when he gets tired of
f1oundering about places him on her
fin again and returns to her camp.
When the young seals are we'll grown
they suddenly disappear with their
mothers and the bull seals. No one
knows where they go. and their return
is equally as sudden as their departure.
The bulls are the first to put in an
appearance at the camping ground.
When they arrive they commence at
once to prepare camp for their mates.
which they stake off and for which
they fight until they die. In the mean
time the female seals remain quite a
distance from land, floating lazily on
the water and seemingly having a
good time.

Huntinu TruffIes as Sport.

Quite apart from the interest of
fungi to the naturalist the temptation
cannot here be resisted to refer to a
method of procuring one kind of fun
gus, which might take rank among the
minor sports. This is the fashion,
originating in France. of procuring the
truffe by the aid of swine and hounds
More i'll assorted sporting companions
can hardly be imagined. The truff1e
grows underground Pigs are partic-
ularly fond of these delicacies and.
guided by the scent. will discover
them by roofing in the earth. After
the discovery of the truffles the dogs
are employed to beat back the pigs
and prevent them from devouring the
spoil. And every quality dear to the
sportsman of skill and judgment is
needed to control and obtain the de-
sired result from the efforts Of a herd
Of swine and a pack of hounds.-Lon-
