WILL MINI: COAL BERING RIVER
 CLAIM

The coal claim of the Alaska Pe- troleum and Coal Company, which was allowed to go to patent last week, is one of a group of sixteen claims owned by the Lippy-Davis Company.
 It is estimated that the claim for which paten has been granted con tains five million tons of coal and 1t is announced that operations will be- gin immediately to open the mine on an extensive scale. Miners will be employed all winter and supplies will be sent north to Katalla on one Of the first steamers of the Admiral line.
 The Lippy-Davis property is To- cated approximately twenty-five miles from tidewater. but adjacent to the railroad survey of the Copper River railroad branch line to the coal fields
 The Lippy- Davis coal claims have been held up for many years through the activities of the conservationists, and a decision adverse to the claim ants was rendered by the Land Of- flee on the grounds that sufficient development work had not been per formed to determine the value of the coal deposits. The case was ap- pealed and has resulted in the coal claim owners being given title to one claim.
