ADVERSE COAL REPORT
 WAS NO SURPRISE

q notice that the test of Boring Riv- CT coal made recently by the United States navy was not altogether favor able to the Boring river" said Thomas c. White, of Katalla, who was in town Saturday night. enroute to Seattle as passenger on the Alameda.
 'No one who knows anything about the quality of coal that was mined by the government expedition in the Der ing River field, is surprised at the statement that the coal did not meas ure up to expectations. Of course 1t didn't. How could 1t? The coal mined consisted to a large extent of rocks and dirt, and these won't make steam. I know what I am talking about. for I helped to get out this coal for the government, and made a similar statement then as to the Qual- ity of coal mined and freighted to tide water at great expense.
 "The whole business from start to finish was a fiasco Why I can take a bunch of Indians and get out thous- and tons of coal from the Cunningham group at one-eighth the price that the government paid for 800 tons or good deal less of coal, rocks and dirt.
 of course the coal did not give sat, isfaction when tested. How could it, I repeat?"

OF PLANT
 AT NUGGET CREEK

Great progress is being made on the Alaska.Treadwell compnay's big hydro electric power plant at Nugget creek, which when completed, will be expect ed to generate 4,OOO horse power of electrical energy and will have an in- stalled power little above this figure. At the present time the first unit of the plant is taking the natural flow of the stream only. but with the compile tion of the dam and the creating of the reservoir for storage purposes the ca pacity will be greatly increased and given stability.
 The dam is being built within 45O feet of the point under which Nugget creek emerges from under the glacier and is at an elevation of about 500 feet above the power house. The dam will raise the water in the reservoir that is to be created 100 feet higher, furnishing a good head for the tur- pines and an uninterrupted flow of wa ter.
 "The derricks and machinery" said General Superintendent R. A. Kinzie, last night. "are all on the ground and We are now getting ready to put in the cutoff for the big dam. One shaft has been sunk to bedrock and pumps in- stalled and as soon as another shaft can be sunk to bedrock the work of treuching out for the cutoff wall will begin.
 The machinery for a second unit in the power house has been installed and has now been in use for more than a month and everything is going along out there"
 w. R. Lindsay, superintendent in charge of the construction work at Nugget creek for the Alaska.Treadwell company, is now in Juneau and serv- ing on the grand jury. It is expected that the preliminary work at the dam will progress far enough during the winter to get the dam itself completed early next summer.
 In the basin above the point where the stream flows under the glacier the Alaska-Juneau expects to erect large power plant and use the water of Mug get creek before it reaches the levels where 1t is picked up by the Alaska Treadwell company.

CHAMBER[AN PREDTCTS SUCCESS FOR ALASKA BILL
BIG FIGHT OVER
 WATER RIGHT WAGES

The big fight over the water rights of Gold creek between the Alaska,Ju. neau Gold Mining company and the Alaska,Ebner Gold Mines company ct al, is now on in earnest. A session of the district court beginning at s o'clock last night and lasting until Il marks the beginning of the inquiry in- to the rights of the parties to the liti- gation. Last week the hearing of last night was set on the application of the plaintiff company for a temporary re- straiuing order pending the presenta- tion of testimony and trial on its mer- it's. But in the meantime second ap- plication for an injunction pending the hearing of last night was not allowed by the court at the showing made Sat urday night,
 Judge R. w. Jennings opened last nights session by stating that the in' junction asked for Saturday was de- nied without prejudice and that the court would now proceed with the hearing on the application for tenn porary restraining order pending a trial of the case on its merits. He asked counsel to confne themselves to such testimony as would have a bearing on the rights of the parties at interest without regard as to the question of damages.
 The plaintiff claims right to the wa. ter since August 1910 through two To- cations and through the efforts to di- vert the water which was successfully done in October of that same year. It is alleged that prior to December 17, 1913. plaintiff has continued to use said water for running it's air com pressor situated near Snowslide gulch near the portal of its Gold creek tun- nel, but that since the last named date, defendants have diverted the water above the intake of plaintiff company which water is not again returned to the natural channel until below the in' take. Defendants allege prior rights both by location and use and by due diligence in protecting those rights.
 R. A. Kinzie. general superintendent of the Alaska-Juneau was the first wit ness and was on the stand from a lit- tie after 8 until past Il o'clock, and during the giving of his evidence en- tered quite largely into the history of the controversy over the use of the water rights at issue as well as the history of the Alaska-Juneau mines and the plans of the company and the resulting damages that would be sus- tained if the injunction were not granted.
 A breath from the past was felt as the story was told of the physical con flict between employees of the rival claimants of the water rights.
 The hearing was continued until 8 o'clock tonight, and it promises to con- sume some considerable time.
