 So many inquiries have been re- received by the United States govern ment in regard to Alaska that it has printed small pamphletto supply the demand. Copies of the pamphlet have been received at the governors office, says an exchange. Contained in it IS a brief historical sketch, beginning with the explorations of Boring and Chiri- kov and ending with the passage of the home rule bill; description of the climate and the geography; population of the minor subdivisions, as shown by the 1910 census; facts in regard to the government of the country; general information as to national forests, rail roads, roads and trails, and telegraph and cable lines, and some detailed in- formation in regard to agriculture, fur bearing animals and hunting regula- tions; brief statements in regard to fisheries, labor, education and reindeer service, geological, mineral and water resources, where maps can be secured, list of the newspapers printed in the territory, and how other information can be obtained.
 Only one coal mine in all Alaska was operated commercially in 1911, but little coal was mined at several places in the territory, chiefly by those who themselves utilized the product (not even this has been allowed during the past year. The total estimated output of coal in 1911 was 900 tons; the total output in 1910 was 1000 tons. Nine hundred tons of coal mined in one year in territory known to contain more coal than such beds as Pennsylvania Fifty-seven hundred square miles are known to contain anthracite and high grade bituminous coal and half as much again known to contain low grade bituminous coal and this from exhaustive surveys made by the U. s. geological survey in all parts of Alaska. Wherever reconnaissance was made coal was found; at Cook inlet, Mata- nuska, Nenam, Boring river, Circle, Colville river, as far north as Point Barrow, Lisbourne, Norton sound and down to the Alaska peninsula. From 1899 to 1912 there has been consumed in Alaska ], 1,44o, ,1o4 tons of coal. Of this, 492,O66 tons was imported from the states, chiefly from Washington; 9oS,- SIT tons, nearly double, was foreign importation, chiefly bituminous, from British Colum bia, and 36,314 tons pro- duced in Alaska. At the present rate we can expect to find that there was no coal produced in Alaska in the past year and that practically all importa. tions were foreign.-Wm. l., Kidston in Engineering Record.

 One of the reasons that the interior department has given for the refusal to issue coal patents to the claimants is because "no mine has been opened up" And yet the government sends a party of forty men to the Boring river fields and in a few weeks they mine 855 tons of coal from tunnels driven on claims where Commissioner Dennett has said there was no mine. Surely the rulings of the interior department passeth all understanding.-Cordova Alaskan.

 After 12 years light before the gen. eral land office, in, which he was baf- fled and browbeaten and stood off and circumlocuted, until an ordinary man would have committed suicide or kill ed somebody, coal land patent has been ordered granted to W. G. Whorf, who staked coal claims near Port Gra- ham, Kenai peninsula, Alaska, in 1900. Whorf's claims are near English bay, Cooks inlet, about 160 miles southwest of Seward.
