Forty salmon canncrie9 operating 10 Southeastern Alaska can save several thousands of dollars on their coal bills this sumner it they examine careful ly the provisions of the new Alaska coal land leasing act and act accord ingly.
 In an Interview accorded The Em- piro yesterday. Andrew Christensen, chief of the field division of the gen. eral land office pointed out that de- posits of good Ignite coal are pienu- tul in Southeastern Alaska, that the government gives any person or cor. poration permission to mine all the coal they want within Q 10.acre tract and that not once cent is charged by the government.
 ''yve will go even further" " Mir. Chris jensen said. "Our geological depart ment shows the applicant where tho coal Is. and the government does not even charge Q filing fee" Mir. Chris. tenson added. as aa after thought. that pen. ink and paper also win be fur nished, K desired.
 It win be remembered that for many years the ciamor rom Alaska has been: TT you won't let us mine the coal ln the reserved areas, let us have coal for our own use" And so the ur- reserved tracts have been openei with almost no restrictions at ail to tamper or discourage the applicant.
 Chief Christensen called attention to the deposits of coal on Admiralty lsl. and, few miles from Juneau. Any one Of the deposits indicated on the maps Of the geological survey could produce enough bitaminous fuel to ops crate a group Of canneries ttroueh g season. At the present time the can- neries pay about So ton, delivered to their plants for the Canadian arti. cle. Mir. Christensen estimated that Inc canneries could mine and haul the coal which the government Is willing to give them. for about S2 ton.

 or the original appropriation for Q Juneau public building S173500 re- mained after the site and the work Of investigating the foundation were paid for. This sum is stil available, and the addition of the $75.0oo carried in the sundry ciyl biIi will increase tho total available sum Co S252.500., This is S375 900 less than Secretary oi Che Treasury William G. McAdoo has estimated that will be required for Che building. but it is enough to pay for ali the work than can be per formed before another Congress con yenes. which can make additional funds available
 The delay upon the beginning or the building has been due to the fact that since the original appropriation vas made it was decided that more money would be required. The last Territorial Legislature memorialized Congress to appropriate S5OO000 addi- tioaal Gov. J. F. 4. strong and Gov. Waiter E. Clark had asked for more money On the 17th of last March Secretary Of the Treasury bicAdoo .n @ letter to Delegate James Wicker sham called his attention to the mem, oriaI Of the Alaska Legislature. and stated that his Department had decid- ed that $450O00 additional money making S627. 800 all told-would be sufficient to erect a building large enough to accommodate the business of the Federal government and the Territorial government at Juneau, and suggesting that he introduce Q bill making the appropriation. Dele gate Wickersham promptly compiled with tho request. introducing the bill March 2sth last The appropriations committee. in carrying out its pro gram Of economy appropriated only S75.0o0 for the purpose or "conunu- Ing" the construction Of tho building. realling that the next Congress could appropriate the additional money needed when required.
