Coal in Spitzbergen

Tho Norweglans arc shoYing much
enterprise at present in the matter OF
establishing coal mining in Spitzber-
gcn, and the prospects appear 10 be
encouraging, says The London Times
The nearest markets for the Spitzber-
gen coal arc Northern Norway, Kols,
Archangcl, Iceland where, however,
coal is also mined, and the Farce Isl-
s1ds.
The Norwegian Spitzbergen Syndicst.
will have shipped some 10000 tons %
coal to Norway before navigation
closes for this year, and extensive
preparations are being made fox the
future. especially as regards the well
fare Of the men. For about Is. Cd.
day the men get good board and lodg-
Ing. light and heat. and they all seem
anxious to stay over the winter.
The Norwegian Coal Fields, Spitz-
bergen. another recently formed un-
dertaking. has acquired the deposits OF
the Spitzbergon Coal and Trading
Company. The area is Of considerable
extent and has been carefully examined.
The deposits are calculated 20 contain
500, 000,000 tons OF coal, the quality OF
which has been thoroughly tested in
practical use in Norway. The produc.
ton is expected 20 reach 10000 tons
during the second year Of working. ard
when the plant has been extended an
annual production Of 100000 tons Is eX.
pected.
An expedition sent from Norway dur
inc the summer 10 ca@mine the area
held az Green IIarbor and Advent Bay
by the Svalbord Coal Mining Company
discovered some deposits not previous =
~ known. A portion Of the same seam
had indeed been found in the Hiorth
coal fields on the east side OF Advent
Bay. but was supposed 70 form part 90
seam already known. II now, how.

President Baxter will continue his journey to New York in connection with the deal whereby the company purposes acquiring the Great North ern as well as the Northern Pacific steamships.
 Beginning the fourteenth instant, the company announces a new schedule, in that the Northwestern and Valdez will be put on the Seattle San Francis co run as freighters.
