 LIN LEASE

That many housands-perhaps mil lions-Of dollars will be invested, and hundreds of men will be given employ ment in Alaska as soon as the govern ment formulates it's regulations for leasing of the Boring River and Mat 'anuska coal, is the opinion of George Watkins Evans, the engineer who un- der many difficulties mined a big sample of the Matanuska coal which was tested by the government for naval purposes and found eminently satisfactory.
 Evans has made a number of exami nations of both fields, several times being employed to do so by the Un- ited States bureau of mines. He is on his way east, but refuses to dis

upoh tue regulations formulated by the department for the leasing of the land
 Leases Important Feature
 No doubt there are many big firms ready to go into the coal mining busi. ness in Alaska, as there Is a market for considerable amount of the fuel, but unless the leases provide liberal working conditions, most of them will keep out. The rules applied to the mining of coal in Pennsylvania or other Eastern states will not do for Alaska, where the conditions are diff ferent.
 Much money will have to be ex- pended in preliminary work before machinery is installed. have no def- nite knowledge on the subject, but I expect that by the time the railroad is completed to the coal fields, which will be in about two years hence, somebody will have developed DOT tons of the Matanuska field to the point where shipments can be made"
 Seattle and Alaska residents who are desirous of taking up coal land cases are deeply interested in know. ing whether the government will make an entirely new survey of the fields before entering into leases.
 Great Areas Surveyed.
 Great areas of both fields were sur Veyed by applicants for patents to the property and it Is contended that these surveys could be used by the government thereby saving much time.
 Under the leasing law, the govern ment is entitled to make reservations of areas in both fields, and those in- tending to lease are interested to know whether all of the best coal in the fields will be included in the reserva- tions. If the best coal land is re- served by the government there will be little opportunity for private capi- tai to invest.
 A committe at Washington is now formulating a set of regulations and it has been announced that the work will be completed this month.

badge is very handsome one. AT
the top is a piece of metal on which
is the word "Representative" and on
the back the pin with which to fasten
it to the coat. Below this is red,
white and blue ribbon about one and
a half inch long; this is attached to
another and in relief is a canon, and
gun and sword crossed. The medal is

GOOD LUCK CLOVER ABOUNDS
AT WAUSAU.

If four leaf clover is possessed of
any potency, the city of Wausau,
Wis, must be hailed as the capital of
the Kingdom of Good Luck.
The average man thinks he has &C
complished something when he discov-
ers a clover stock bearing four leaves,
instead of the conventional three.
But when he hears of r. ]. White of
this city his envy will reach shade
Of green like unto that of the humble
clover itself.
Mr.. White long ago discarded four
leafers as common" and has gradu-
ated into the seven leaf class. The
other day he went into field for
little stroll and short time later re-
turned with one six leaf, three five
leaf, and seventeen four leaf clovers.
These he mailed to The Sentinel
with modest note in which he apollo
gized for not being able to include
seven leaf specimen, as he had not
found any ''recently."- Milwaukee
