A SLIGHT CONCESSION.
Permits Being Granted on Small Scale
to Mine Alaska Coal.

The United SAFES government has
;iven its reluctant consent for the
unlocking of some of Alaska's coal. a
circular has been issued providing
temporary rules for the granting OF
permits for securing the right to mint
coal in Alaska from 10-acre tracts. The
circular provides that any male citizen
If the United States, over the age of
H. by making application in writing.
may receive a permit granting the
right to mine coal from a 1O-acre
tract, for personal use or for sale. The
Matanuska and Boring fields are with
held from this order and no permits
sion can be granted for these fields al
present. No royalties or fees are to be
,harged for this permission and the
fact that a man has a permit to mine
IN 10-acre tract will not interfere
with any other coal leasing he may de-
sire to do.
