BERING RIVER FALL
 BE MINED IN FALL

John Hutchinson, superintendent of the Clark Davis coal mine at katalla, is in town for couple of days on business and he is very optimistic over the mine he Is opening up and which he expects to have on a shipping ba- sis this summer.
 MT. HutchisOn is an experienced mining operator and he reports that this property is one of the most pro missing that he has ever handled, and it's product is q high grade of anthra- cite coal, which can be marketed in competition with inferior coal from Washington state and British Colun- bia.
 patent has been granted by tEe government for this claim, which is on the east side of Canyon creek in | the Bering river field. There are two we'll defined veins or seams, and on No it is six feet in thickness, and has been crOsscut for four hun Gred feet. While the outcropping is somewhat crushed there is fine body : of hard coal. On No ? vein it is four and half feet thick and in solid condition.
 : For some time past a force of ten men have bean engaged in opening ur this mine, but the crew will soon be increased to forty. The present plan : is to ship limited amount of coal this fall, and by next spring to have 1 the mine opened up sufficiently to supply the local market with fuel. IE order to get it to market, it will be necessary to haul it by rail to tide
 water at Controller bay distance of eighteen miles. During the past year the work of constructing this railroad has been in progress and the grading has all been completed, with the eX- ception of driving some piling. The steel has been ordered as we'll as cars and locomotives, and these will arrive at Katalla about May l, when the
 work on the road will be rushed to ompletion-Cordova Times.

BATTLESHIP ANCHORED
IN HEART OF NEW YORK

New York, June 15.-Vacation time
visitors to New York city this summer
will find new point of interest on
Broadway. At the corner of Four
teenth street in Union Square in one
of the busiest sections of all Han
of the park and looks all the world
as II 1T had just arrived in port. The
ship which has been named the ere
cruit" was built through the efforts
of Mayor Mitchell's Defense Commit
tee and the contributions of patriotic
citizens. On Memorial Day with ap-
propriate and imposing launching GER
emonles 1T was turned over by Mayor
Mitchell to Admiral Usher for the use
of the Navy in recruiting. The ship
is manned by 80 seamen from the
Training Station at Newport, R. l.,
and is in command of officers of the
navy. tbs being used exclusively for
recruiting and events that will stimu-
late enlisting. All day long speeches
are made to the crowd of onlookers
while on the main deck men are given
information, and after qualifying, are
passed on to the examining surgeons
who have officers aboard. The turrets
are mounted with guns of wood that
are very formidable looking while the
fighting masts and several genuine
machine guns add to the realism. The
bridge is equipped with searchlights,
signals, semaphores which are worked
every night. The complete routine of
the ship life is carried out and
throughout the day and night the Gre
cruit" is surrounded by a crowd of
interested watchers. Band concerts
are given nearly every night and mo-
tion pictures of navy training and the
opportunity it presents to young men
are flashed on screen every night.
1t is planned to have number of in
teresting events occur on deck every
evening. John Philip Sousa, who has
just been made lieutenant in the
Naval Reserve, is to make his first
outdoor appearance in New York as
an officer band master aboard the Re-
cruit, directing the Navy Yard Band.

had been enlisted at the New York
Recruiting Stations, gathered on the
deck of the Recruit" before leaving
for the Training Station at Newport.
Here they were addressed by Mon

SAVE WINTER OATS FOR SEED

Washington, d. c., June 18.-Farm-
ers in the South who have winter oats
of good quality are urged to save
them for seed rather than to feed
them. This crop winter killed very
generally over the South last winter,
and specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture say the in
dications are that the seed supply will
be very short. Many counties in the
Southeastern States will have to pur-
chase all their seed from other locali-
ties, and those favored sections where
a partial or full crop was produced
should save every available bushel to
meet this demand. Farmers are
urged to feed corn or other grain to
work stock or to purchase northern
grown spring oats for feding in order
to save the winter oats for sowing.
Because of the scarcity of winter
oats of good quality those who have
them are quite sure to profit by saving
them for seed rather than feeding
them. Farmers who do not know
where they can sell seed oats should
communicate with their county agent,
the director of their State experiment
station, or r. A. Oakley, Chairman,
Committee on Seed Stocks, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, d. G. Present indica-
tions are that there will be ready
market for all good seed of this crop
this year.
