IF GENERAL INFORMATION


 take aboard the coal that was mined in the Matanuska field last year, and which will be tested for steaming purposes by the Maryland, on Puget Sound. When the Evans was north on her last trip the barges had not brought out much of the coal so that she was only enabled to sail south with 50 tons, but it is likely that the balance will be. shipped on the Sampson. The coal is in good con- dition, but some of the sacks were broken while it was being freighted out in frozen condition last winter. The navy test calls for 800 tons and of the 900 tons mined there will be between $50 and S75 tons in the shipment. Passengers from Seattle for this section of Alaska are as follows:
 For Cordova-Lucy B. Gray, Mrs. J. Cassidy, J. Cassady, Miss Grace Custer, F. c. Sharkey, Mrs. F. C. Sharkey, R. D. McKennon, Mrs. Cottingham and 6 second class.
 For Katalla-Wm. Carlen and J. B. Wardell.
