COAL DEAL
REPORTED
RUMORED THAT BRITISH SYNDI-
CATE TAKES OVER VALUABLE
COAL BEARING PROPERTIES
OF WESTERN FUEL COMPANY
IN ALASKA.
UNITED PRESS IEAsED wIRp.1

Vancouver, B. c., July 21.-The
properties of the Western Fuel Com
pany, of Itn Francisco, embracing
$4,000 acres of coal-bearing land
near Nanaimo, have, according to
generally credited reports, passed in
to the hands of a British syndicate,
the deal having been put through by
John L. Howard, the president of the
company, during a recent visit to
London. The purchase price of the
property is put at $3,5OO,OOO.
The Western Fuel Company was
incorporated on December 12, 1902,
with a capitalization of $1,500,00O
and has, during the intervening
years, carried on an extensive busi-
ness in California, acquiring the rep
utation of controlling the market in
that state. 1t is said that the price
paid by them for the property in
volved in the present deal was ap-
proximately $65O,OOO, thus showing
a magnificent profit, apart from what
was made by operations.
1t is stated that the shipping IA
cilities of the plant will be enlarged
by the new company, with view of
extending their business along the
Pacific coast, and it is further stated
that they have entered into large con-
tracts for Australian coal.
1t is expected thai the British COM
pany will take hold of the business in
the course of few weeks Although
the details of their organization have
not yet been worked out, it is be-
lieved that James B. Smith, of San
Francisco, the present manager of the
properties, will be retained in that
position.

Rev. Sturdevant, a negro preacher

Unless the girl goes to Boston the
police say they will arrest her today

The Codding girl is one of three
white girls discovered by the police
yesterday and said to be victims OF
the religious fanaticism of the negro.
One of the other girls, Gertrude
Monson, is dying from pellagra.
She is scarcely able to speak but
