Berine Coal Scandal


 Gossip with reference to the coal scandal last summer at the Boring river coal fields was revived yesterday by reason of the presence in our midst of one of the men who was on the ground to watch the mining from the Cunning ! ham claims, of which he was in charge. Roger Sammy contends that from the start there was conflict between the navy department, that was in charge of this expedition, and one or two em- ployees secured from the bureau of mines and Sumner $. Smith, mine in spector for Alaska. pr. Downey, physician in the navy department, was paymaster and the man on the ground with full authority, He had for his foreman Mir. Williams, who was sup posed to be a practical mining man, and who was suggested by pr. Holmes for the place. Sumner Smith was SUD- posed to be "present" because of orders received from the interior department. He Lad no authority in connection with the expedition, but people of Katalla contend that no move was made by Williams without first consulting Smith.
 When the Cunningham claims were reached it was decided to take the eight or nine hundred tons of coal that the navy department required for test ing purposes from that property. Sam my contends that instead of entering the tunnels and taking from the seams of high-grade coal exposed, Inspector Smith advised following smaller seams and mining what the men employed there regarded as an inferior quality.
 The work went on and Mir. Downey presumed that he was getting fair average of the fuel as it was brought to i light and placed in sacks. It was finally reported to him that 955 tons had been properly sacked and was ready to be transported to Saltwater, from which point it was to be brought about 16 miles to the sea. Arrange ments were made for the overland haul and then the party returned to Ratalla in October, and on November finally sailed on the Yukon for Seattle.
 After returning to Washington, as the story goes, Dr. Downey caught on to the fact that he had been duped, and an investigation followed, showing to the department that not seven hundred tons had been mined, and that much of it was slack and of inferior quality, the good grade having been deliber. ately overlooked by orders of Smith and Williams. The facts brought out indicated that the latter two were preiudiced in favor of the Matanuska coal and that they were not desirous of making good showing of the Boring river fuel.

 the possibility that from one third to ene-half will be rejected, because of its worthlessness, that would give false idea of the real value of the Bering river coal. This will result in more delay and may cause the cruiser Mary land to be held in California for sev- eral weeks yet. She is to take the coal

Under the provisions of an executive order signed April 18th by President Woodrow Wilson, the Kluckwan Indian reservation is now established. The reserve created involves 800 acres of choice land lying north of and contigu- ous to the Chilkat river, twenty.two miles from Haines. Chief of the pro- teetive aim of the reservation IS that portion which prevents any person from encroaching upon the land em- braced within it's borders, by locating for any purpose whatever The reser- yation was established after Prof. w. G. Beattie, chief of the Southwestern Alaska burea of education, bad recom- mended it. IL will also be remembered that when the Kluckwan tribe visited Juneau last fall, the venerable Chief Yalth. hook asked the Great White Father in Washington to create this reserve that his descendants might thrive and flourish unmolested by the white man. Kluckwan village is one of the ideal Indian settlements of Alaska. There are perhaps 300 natives colonized, and nice homes and civilized modes of living are among the features of the camp A cooperative store es- tablished not long ago has already paid dividend of 12 per cent. This is the third native reservation in Alaska. Metlakahtla and Hydaburg were created in the order named.-Dispatch.
