GRANT PATENT
 ID FARTHEREST
 NORTH CLAIM

JUNEAU.-(Special.)-U Sam has granted at patent on the farthest north coal mine on the North Ameri- can continent. The official notice of the grant of patent was received yes, terday at the office of Chief of the Field Division C. E. Arundel here. The mine is on the shore of the Arctic ocean, at point north of Point Hope called Corwin Bluff. The mine is 16O miles north of the Arctic Circle, and is one of the earliest developed coal deposits in Alaska.
 It was first utilized in lS49, and later, when the whalers found profit able the trips along the north coast of the territory they always stopped there for coal. The mine is accessible from the shore, because the coal veins outcrop on the side of the bluff. The coal was mined extensively during the Nome stampede in 1899 and 1900 and taken to Nome on barges. The United States revenue cutters Corwin and Thetis often have coaled there.
 The patent was issued on the E. l.. West coal claim to Charles Mcintosh, the present owner of the mine.
