Uncle Sam is mining Ignite coal
cheaper than private operators are.
He is paying his miners more
money than private operators are.
And he is making better use of the
coal he digs.
This Federal coal mine is still in its
infancy and the amount of fuel dug
is small. But as a pioneer enterprise
brought to success in the face of
great obstacles, it has a powerful
bearing on the Alaskan problem.
The mine was developed by the
reclamation service, as a side issue,
in connection with the Williston and
Buford- Trenton irrigation projects.
There was 10000 acres of fertile
valley and bench land on Little Mud
dy Creek and the Missouri river, and
there was plenty of water in the Mis-
souri, to supply the lack of rainfall
The water couldn't be brought to
the bench land by gravity-it had to
be pumped. The government had
1000 acres off coal land nearby. so
Uncle Sam simply decided to use his
coal TO pump the water to irrigate the
land.
The mine was opened and the power
plant put in operation in 1908. They
have been running ever since in the
lrTlBdllOn season ana 3z,OOu TONS OF
coal have been taken out and con
sumed. The miners are now digging
| from eighty to ninety tons a day.
The coal has cost Uncle Sam an
average of $1.35 a ton, including
operation and maintenance and over
head expenses. And Uncle Sam is
doing better right along.
In June Of this year the cost was
$1.33 a ton. For July the figures will
probably be SIZE a ton, says w. s.
| Arthur, the project engineer. and
still less for August Eventually,
says Arthur, he expects to lower the
cost to 81 ton, by operating the
| plant the year round and doing more
room work The more coal he
! digs, the cheaper he can dig it.
| In private mines in the same ter
ritory timbered like the government
mine, it costs about $3.50 a ton to dig
coal.
| To deliver that private coal to the
government power plant would have
brought up the cost to $3.50 a ton.
| The city of Williston has been pay
ing from 1924 to $3.50 a ton for priv

GERMAN INDUSTRIES PLAN
EXHIBIT AT EXPOSITION

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-The Hansa
Bund, which has a membership of
men in commercial and industrial
walks of life exceeding 1926, 900, yes
terday declared in favor of German
participation in the Panama Pacific
exposition. 1t declares that letters re-
ceiyed by it show that in the leading
business circles 1t is the opinion that
German participation would bring
actual trade benefits to Germany.
1.-THE idea of participation, at least
by certain especially interested in
dustries, is plainly gaining ground
the declaration says, and, therefore.
even if the government cannot par
ticipate officially, it is to be expected
that our officials will further in every
way the efforts of those industries de-
string to participate and that our con-
sular representatives in America will
cooperate tittingly."
