SpitZbergen, n distance of from 400 to
500 miles, will be made in the Long
year company's own steamer, vessel
that was formerly engaged in the
whaling trade. The Longycar inter-
ests have control of several hundred
square miles i'm four different tracts
on the islands OF SpitZbergen, large
rart of which has not been explored
to any extent. The islands, however,
appear to be rich in coal deposits, and
i'm places the geology suggests the
presence of gold and iron ore. Some
iron has been found on the islands
but haw extensive or how valuable
the deposits may he is as yet guess
work No gold has been discovered
Up to the present time one coal mine
has been opened, which Is expected to
produce $4,000 tons this year, 10000
tons next year and 100000 tons when
fully opened up. The coal vein out
crops on the side of bluff about
1000 feet from the coast, and extends
horizontally into the Hill for an un-
known distance. The seam Is three
feet, nine inches In thickness and has
been mined 1000 feet into the hill, at
which point the vertical distance To
the surface is 500 feet. Laterally, nc
one knows how far the vein extends
but indications of outcropping of the
seam have been found thirty miles
from the mine.
The coal found in Spitzbergen re-
sembles Pocahontas more than any
other coal found in this country. but
Il is more volatile thar Pocahontas
and burns more readily. 1t is be-
lieved to be superior to most Goals
found I'm northern Europe, ard should
be especially good coal for gas making
purposes. Some time ago a whalei
called at the mine and asked to buy
coal. There was none on hand bu'
some screenings, which the company
did not expect to sell, but the vesse
was in such dire straits that the cap
tain was sold a quantity Of these
screenings or refuse. A few days
later the captain came back for more
stating that II was the best coal h'
had ever burned.
NJ Longyear expects to find O
ready market for Spitzbergen coal IN
Norway and Sweden, where there T.
no coal to speak of. and also in othel
parts of northern Europe.

Of the enemy, so to speak. The wo-
men have decided to raise a campaign
fund of 100000 to be used in a fight
against the members OF the Legislature
who are opposed TO the woman's suf-
frage cause. The women say they
have been tricked by the politicians,
treated with discourtesy by them, and
now they mean TO play politics In the
masculine way. One of their plans is
10 obtain a houseboat on the Hudson.
which is to be used as the neadquar-

the campaign. The houseboat will
travel up the river and wherever II
stops meetings will be arranged and
speeches delivered TO arouse the wom-

frage. 1t is hoped in this way to exert
n powerful influence upon the coming
Legislative elections throughout the
state and. perhaps. to defeat the OPP

of the intelligent hen by another re-

sAuLT STE. MARIE-The omci

SAULT STE. MARlE-The official
test of the movable dam located on
Bridge island at Sault ste. Marie and
designed to cut off the water in both
channels of the ship canal in case OF
accident to the lock gates has more
than met the expectations OF the en-
gineers. 1t will do all that is designed
and the machinery works with the pre-
cision of a clock. While the machinery
had been tried out the wickets had
never been lowered with the canal
filled and there was much interest as
10 the result of the test. With one
man operating the levels connecting
with the several wickets the flow was
stopped i'm an hour. and forty-ilve min
utes With several men operating the
wickets as could be done this work
could be accomplished in less than
thirty minutes. Wickets were raised
and lowered at will and the machinery
tested In every possible way and not a
flaw could be found anywhere. The
dam Is n triumph of engineering Skill
There Is no longer fear of the danger
and damage that might occur should
accident overtake the locks that would
carry awak the gates thereby allowing
n free flow OF water through the canal
The flow can now be controlled within
comparatively short pace of time
ALLOWING repairs to be made without
delay.
