The history of the Alaska Bureau of the New Chamber of Commerce, the purposes for which it was organized, the work it is called upon to perform and the personnel of it's officers and memb bers, are contained in a handsome, new illustrated booklet just issued by the bureau. The objects of the bureau are summarized, the pamphlet says, in the following statement: "First-To use every honorable means of securing for Alaska that which she needs and will tend to her greater prosperity aud development by supporting the wishes of the people of Alaska as agreed upon by the Chamber of Commerce. incor. porated councils and other organized bodies of Alaska. "Second-To draw the people of Alaska to Seattle and cement a bond of business and social friendship between them in order that Alaska may have no cause for com. plaint of their treatment by Seattle citizens" The bureau sums up the three years of it's work as follows: 1912, organization, including equipment for library, exhibit and office; 1913, publi- cation of pamphletand tour of Alaska, and 1914, educational campaign at Washington, D. C., eliminating a three years publicity campaign for Alaskan development. In speaking of the rou- tine work of the organization, the lit. erature says more then 3,6OO persons visited the bureau for information about the NOrthland in 1914 and that more than 2,5OO answers by letter were mailed.

Alaska Celebration

The close relationship existing be- tween Alaska and Seattle, and the inti- mate interest of our people in every thing that concerns the great northern territory, make it peculiarly appropri- ate that this city should take the in- itiative in the celebration of the semi centennial of the Alaska purchase negotiated through Secretary of State William H. Seward in 1867.
 It should be we'll understood, how ever. that such commemoration, wheth- CT in the form of an exposition or otherwise, is not to interfere with any plans that Alaskans may have for cele- bration within that territory. Rather should it be known that what Seattle may do is to be supplementary and contributory to the success of the home celebration. It is possible that Seward or some other Alaska point may under take an adequate commemOration. If this is done it would be Seattle's duty to encourage it's success by stimulating interest in the occasion and travel to the north by visitors who may come here
 Seattle for many years has devoted much time and money to the cause of Alaska, and to all of her causes this city has stood in the relation of a par ent concerned in the welfare of a child. The bonds are very close between the people of the north and the people of this city, not only because they are neighbors, but because SO many Alaska citizens are former Seattleites; and our close commercial and financial rela- tions have strengthened these bonds.
 We are proud of the great northern territory, it's people and it's splendid resources, and in any plans for cele. brating the Seward purchase every Se. attle citizen will be glad to co operate. What is done here will draw the atten tion of the world to the occasion, and our hope will be that it shall stimulate whatever celebration may be held by the "home folks" in Alaska territory Post.Intelligeucer.

c. k. Stagger, we'll known Puget Sound and Alaska diver, yesterday completed his plans for salving the valuables and equipment reposing in the hold of the Russian sloop of war Neva, which foundered in a storm off the Southeastern Alaska coast 102 years ago, says Che Seattle Times of recent date. With the power schoonere Norman Suude and Volunteer, he will proceed to the scene of the ancient wreck next August. Besides the yes. sels cannons aud shipment of valu- able paraphernalia which she was car rying to the Greek Church at Sitka, when she sank, it is believed that consignment of gold will be found in her coffers. Stagger returned lastIweek from Southeastern Alaska after making an inspection trip to the wreck. Westh- CT conditions were too unsettled to begin work and the expedition was postponed to August. He found that the wreck was still intact.

The first application to mine coal in the interior under the new federal leas- ing laws was granted by the local land office last month to George A. Esta' brook, who is mining in the Forty mile district on the Upper Yukon, says a Fairbanks dispatch to the Seattle P..L. The application relates that the coal lies on ground held as placer claim, being 2 above, first bench, right limit of Chicken creek. Estabrook's applica- tion states that coal has been uncover ed twenty five feet from the surface to a depth of fifteen feet and with width of sixteen feet. Surface indications show a coal deposit a mile wide and three miles in length. There is much significance attached to the filing of this first application, since it shows that ordinary miners will take advan tage of the governments new policy. Where coal is uncovered on the surface in quantities practicable for immediate use, mine owners throughout the inte- rior will file these applications in all such districts, where mineral and coal are to be found in close proximity. This is true in many districts, notably the Bonnifeld and Kantishua districts in the Nenana area and the Forty Mile district on the Yukon near the boun- dary. Coal exists all along the Broad pass route survey ofth railway, which is also highly mineralized belt

Carrying a sawmill and a shipment of lumber for a new Eskimo village to be established by the Alaska Bureau of Education at Noorvik on the Kobuk river in the Arctic, the four mast schooner c. s. Holmes, owned and ope rated in the Arctic trade by Capt. John Backland, veteran navigator and sky pilot of the polar seas, left Seattle last week for the Far North. The bureau of education plans to pick up bodily the entire native community of Deer ing, Kotzebue Sound, and transfer it to Noorvik, at present merely a name. The Noorvik district offers the natives a plentitude of hunting, trapping and fishing and in addition is we'll timbered. The timber will be cut into lumber for frame houses, the mill being turned over to the natives under the super. vision of the bureau. The feat of trans planting an entire community is not unprecedented in the Far North, but it hae rarely been attempted on SO large a scale. Deering at present numbers more than 15O persons. The Holmes will also carry North the engine for the operation of the sawmill, and ship ment of $500 feet of dressed lumber for flooring aud ceiling the homes to be erected in the new village. Other cargo for the Kobuk district includes the building material for a government school.
