BERlNG COAL NOT
 SUITABLE FOR NAVY

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-secre. tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels re. ported to Congress yesterday after noon that the coal of the Boring river fields is unsuitable for use in the navy according to tests made by the Geol- ogical survey officials, officials at An napolis, and aboard the Maryland. He said that all of the tests were unfa- vorable except that the Alaska coal made less smoke than normal. The report states that the Bering river coal is incapable of generating a suf- ficient quantity of steam and could produce only about 50 per cent effic. iency of power
 Director of the Bureau of Mines Holmes is quoted as authority for the statement that the Boring coal could be mined only at great cost. He says it is full of faults, and that it would be chiefly valuable if turned into coke and shiped.

BIG DIVIDENDS ON
 70 CENTS A TON PROFIT

Thompson, Towle & Company's News Letter, speaking of the profits of the Utah Copper Company, one of the Jackling properties, and low grade operators, says:
 An analysis of the last quarterly report of the Utah Copper Co.,, de- yelops the interesting point that from 2,l1S,OSO tons of rock treated, which averaged 1.21659S copper, net earnings of $1,479,7S7 were derived. This is just roc per ton profit,
 "Of course the low tenor of the rock treated the past quarter was largely responsible for this, but it is interest ing to note the ability of the Utah Copper Co. to develop such large net earnings when it gets but. 70o,per ton profit out of the mining, transporta. ton and milling of a ton of rock. This should likewise prove of considerable interest to stockholders oi the Alaska Gold Mines Co.,, as the original esti- mates of that company only promised profit of 75c per ton of rock treat ed"
