bER|NC COAL TO BE MINED
 SHORTLY

The coal lands of Alaska will be ready for leasing before the end of the present year, according to George Watkin Evans, selected by the United States government to make a survey of the Boring coal fields with refer. ence to the division of the coal areas into workable units. Having com pleted his field work, Mir. Evans re- gently returned to Seattle where he will complete his report, maps, draw ings, etc. at his office there and for ward his report to Washington.
 Mir. Evans work consisted of sep erating the coal fields into working units, the purpose being to make the separate units of as nearly equal var ue as possible and to have them group ed 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 necessary for him to form his units in such a manner as to conform to geological and topogra- phic conditions. Also, his report will indicate the best method of approach and the most feasible manner to mine each unit.
 The units mapped by Mir. Evans vary in size from a half square mile to four square miles.
 Boring FIelds Examined.
 The government will make it's re- servations of coal areas from the re- port of Mir. Evans. The selections will be made by the President, though. of course. they will probably be based

upon the recommendations of the Sec. retary of the Interior.
 MT. Evans estimates that the in. formation that will be in the hands of , the Interior Department will permit the offering of the units to prospec. tive lessors before the first of the year.
 Contrary to former reports, MT. Evans confined his work this summer to the Boring coal fields. He has al. ready made report on the Matanus. ka field on the strength of his work there in 1913 when he superintended i 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 1 on the ground. He will have the ad. vantage of the former report made by Mir. Evans. MT. Evans says the gov ernment will have all the information ready to make leases in that field as we'll as the Boring field in time for those leasing to begin active develop. ment work with the opening of the season next year.
 Praise for Administration.
 MT. Evans says there is no question but that Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane is doing all within his power to give the people a Square deal" on the coal lands question in Alaska, and that he realizes that the oassence o4 the prPpositfon is the speedy opening of the lands. The coal lands leasing bill became law less than year ago, and practically all of the preliminary work has been completed already. He says, further that President Woodrow Wilson is backing and supporting Secretary oi the Interior Lane in expediting the coal lands work.
 George Watkin Evans Is recognized everywhere as one of the country's most capable experts on all things pertaining to coal and coal mining. He Is not only capable geologist. but an experienced coal mining engineer.
