WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-There

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-There have been many inquiries at the department of the interior concerning certain phases of the Alaska coal leasing bill Several applications for leases have from the west coast W. G. Whorf, of Seldovia, has applied for several hundred adjacent to his Port Graham property, upon which he recently received patent No applications yet on file for leases for the Boring River Matanuska fields. It is understood that parties are awaiting the promugaton of regulations so that they may know exactly their rights And pending the adoption of regulations upon the part of the interior department no action will be taken on any application. The Frost group of coal claimants are the first to offer to surrender their claims and receive the return of the money paid as the purchase price, which is $10 per acre. This is in accordance with the new law and it is expected that other claimants will also be willing to waive rights by receiving their money back.
