COMPANY CLOSED
 CH|LDREN'S STORE
Little Girl Tells Rockefeller How Mine Managers Kept Employees
 in Company's Debt.

TRINIDAD, Colo, Sept. 23.-J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., is making a thor ough investigation of the conditions which prevailed among the miners employed in the coal mines in which Rockefeller money is invested. He is taking pains to meet the striking miners and their families in order to learn the true conditions which led to the strike and resulted in the killing of scores of the strokers by the guards and state militia.
 A little girl, twelve years old, told Rockefeller how a store which had been organized by the children of the public school had been able to declare a dividend of 40 cents on shares which had cost only 10 cents. The store had been a success until the manager of the mines had caused it to be closed by refusing to employ miners unless they bought their sup plies from the company's store.
 Leaders of the Western Federation who were declared to be planning the arrest of Rockefeller on the charge of instigating the strike which result ed in the Ludlow murders, assert that they have given their promise that the New York millionaire will receive every courtesy from the strikers.

That the depositors of the Valdez Bank & Trust Company, which closed it's doors several weeks ago, will re- ceive their money before the close of the present month is the announce ment of Attorney John Lyons, repre- senting the stockholders of the bank.
 When the bank closed it's doors, following the heavy withdrawals of deposits by the people of Valdez, who had suffered by the fire, Cashier Hen drickson immediately put the matter of financing the assets of the bank in order to secure the cash to pay off the depositors, up to the stockholders on the outside. That arrangements have been completed and the money is ready is evidenced by the follow ing cable received by Judge Lyons today from the German-American Mercantile Bank, of Seattle. Follow Ing is the cablegram:

COAL LANDS GAN BE LEASED SOON
Surveyor Says That Secretary Lane Desires to Give Alaskans
 Square Deal.

be open for leasing before the close of the present year is the opinion of George Watkins Evans, who has just completed a survey of the Boring riv- CT coal fields for the government. The coal areas have been divided into workable units, surveyors having spent the summer in the Matanuska, Boring river and Nenana coal fields under the direction of the department of the Interior. In regard to the work accomplished by MT. Evans the Juneau Empire publishes the follow ing:
 Mr. Evans work consisted of sepa- rating the coal fields into working units, the purpose being to make the separate units of as nearly equal val ue as possible and to have them grouped in such way that their working would be practicable. This not only required that he measure the deposits as nearly as conditions would permit. but it made it neces- sary for him to form his units in such manner as to conform to geologi- cal and topographic conditions. Also, his report will indicate the best meth cd of approach and the most feasible manner to mine each unit.
 The units mapped by MT. Evans vary in size from a half square mile to four square miles.
 Boring Fields Examined.
 The government will make it's res- ervations of coal areas from the re- port of MT. Evans. The report will be made to the President, though, of course, they will probably be based upon the recommendations of the Secretary of the Interior.
 MT. Evans estimates that the in- formation that will be in the hands of the Interior Department will per- init the offering of the units to pros- pective lessors before the first of the year.
 Contrary to former reports. MT. Evans confined his work this sum- mer to the Boring coal fields. He has already made report on the Mata- nuska field on the strength of his work there in 1913, when he super intended the mining of the coal for the naval test.
 A detailed report will be made on the Matanuska coal fields by Sumner S. Smith, mine inspector, who is now on the ground. He will have the ad- vantage of the former report made by Mr. Evans. MT. Evans says the government will have all the infor- nation ready to make leases in that field as we'll as the Boring field in time for those leasing to begin active work with the opening of the season next year.
 Praise for Administration.
 MT. Evans says there is no ques- tion but that Secretary of the Inter- for Franklin K. Lane, is doing all within his power to give the people "square deal' on the coal lands question in Alaska, and that he real izes that the essence of the proposi- tion is the speedy opening of the lands. The coal lands leasing bill became a law less than year ago, and practically all of the preliminary work has been completed already. He says, further, that President Wood- row Wilson is backing and support ing Secretary Lane in expediting the coal lands work.
 George Watkins Evans is recog- nized everywhere as one of the coun- try's most capable experts on all things pertaining to coal and coal mining. He is not only capable ge- o1ocist hut an exnerienced coal min

FORD GETS USE
 OF SUBMARINE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Henry Ford, the Detroit manufacturer of automobiles, has been granted the &se of submarine for one day by the Navy department. It is believ- ed that Ford, who is a strong advo- cate of peace, and has refused to per init his great factories to accept or ders from the European governments, has a patent which will increase the efficiency of submarines and guard against accidents similar to that which caused the loss of the F-4 and her entire crew.
