ISENBERGS COAL
Mine A BIG
Thing

Probably because their government
is doing so much of that sort OF
thing, the Canadians have only Just
been informed Of the big coal land
deal in Alberta province made by DR..
Hoppe of Oakland and Paul Isenberg
of Honolulu. CT which the Star-Bul-
letin gave the news some months ago.
The latest information Mr.. lSenberg
gave to this paper was that an Eng
ilsh syndicate had bought an inter
est in the tract for seven million dol
lars. According to the following OF
tawa despatch of recent date DR..
Hoppe and Mr.. Isenberg are going to
develop the coal field on large scale
themselves, supplying the German
naval stations on the Pacific and, ,af-
ter the completion of the Panama ca
nal. the German home market with
the product OF their mines, which as
this account and the statements made
here by Mr.. Isenberg agree, is a very
superior grade of anthracite:
1T is. learned Mat DR.. Reinhold
Hoppe, of Oakland, California, recent
" located one of the best coal areas
in Western Canada on the Smokey
River, In Northern Alberta, about 200
miles northwest of Edmonton.
1.-The fields are located within 40
miles of the main line of the G. T. p,
and experts have reported that the
deposits are anthracite and superior
to Pennsylvania hard coal
The area, consisting of $4,000
acres, has been leased by DR.. Hoppe
and Mr.. Paul Isenberg, Of Honolulu,
a wealthy business associate, and they
contemplate starting coal mining
operations on large scale.
AT the last session of parliament
charter for line of railway to tap
the coal fields was secured. 1t is said
that the customers secured include
the German government, which re
quires coal for it's naval stations on
the Pacific.
When the Panama canal is complet-
ed, it is expected that large shipments

countries, via Vancouver and the ca
