WASHINGTON, Feb. 2I.--Dazzling
figures OF Alaskan wealth. particular
ly az to the value OF the famous Cum
ningham coal claims, were given by
Stephen Birch, managing direction Of
the Alaskan syndicate, composed of
J.. r. Morgan II Company. and the
Guggenheim brothers. before the SEN
ate Committee on Territories today.
Birch said the syndicate bought the
Boxanza mine fieid OF 3,24o acres for
100000 and that now there Is s6.-
100000 worth Of copper ore in sight
This showing IL the result Of develop
ment OF only q small part OF the
field.
Syndicate Option.
The syndicate has an option on the
Cunningham coal claims which have
not been delivered because Cunning
ham and his associates have been un-
able to get patents from the govern
ment IN answer to questions by Sem
ateF Beveriaxe. Birch said s-a5----
Tremendous Value.
The coal veins In the Cunningham
group run from four to fifty feet in
thickness and the average Is from ten
to twelve feet. The amount OF coal
Is probably 100000 tons and its
present value at 30 cents q ton would
make q total value Of $4,000. 0e0."
The plan OF the Morgan-Guggen-
helm syndicate to develop this coal
field was to organize a corporation
with 100000 capital. of which the
syndicate was to get half by paying
Cunningham and his associates $780,
600.
Birch estimated that In the coal

are part. the deposits aggregate

Deadlock ON Oyster Bin.

ITO be returned to the House of
Delegates without report was the de-
cision OF the Committee on the Ches-
Iareake and It's Tributaries Friday
night in regard to the Byrd oyster
bill relative to the breaking Of the
Baylor survey"
This Is the same action that was
taken on the Throckmorton milk bill.
and these two measures Will be taken
UP on the floor of the House on their
merits. The Byrd oyster bill has at
tracted more attention throughout
Tidewater Virginia than any other
measure presented to the Legislature
this session. and affects directly one
Of the largest industries In the State.
That favorable action was not
taken on this bill Is due TO the many
protests received from the tongmen
and planters in the lower James Al
though admitting In many Instances
that 1t was impossible under the
present survey of the oyster rocks for
the Fish Commission authorities to
properly protect the boundaries OF
the oystermen on account OF the ir-
