The Americans are wearing

the American military garb.
The training camp of Americas
first fighting forces on the French
front is installed In one of
Frances most beautiful and most
historic forests close to where the
army is fighting.
The American flag floats beside
the tri-color high above the en-

PROCESS AT
 COAL MINES

During the week ending August II, there were 664.37 tons of coal shipped from the Eska Creek coal mine. The force employed at the close of that period numbered S3. Among the i'm provementS erected recently are a powder house, 14 by 16 feet, and a primer house, 10 by 12 feet.
 Contracts have been let for the con Struction of six cottages for use of the employees, and for the instala- ton of temporary water and sewer systems at the mine. Three acres of the townSite have been cleared and a contract let for the clearing of two additional acres. During the week the loading trestle was extended a dis tance of 26 feet.
 At the ChickaloOn mine IA men were on the payroll at the close of the week ended August II, most of them being engaged on mine development work. The croSScut to tap the coal beds was extended about 40 feet during the pc riod.
 Lars Netland, lessee of Units 10 and II of the Matanuska coal field, com menced development of the property on August 6, according to advices re- ceived by the Land and Industrial De partment. These units embrace 1400 acres near Chickaloon.
 Unit No. 10 lies between Kings River and Chickaloon River, less than one half mile west of the latter stream and about 1la miles north of MatanuSka River. The coal beds which outcrop on Kings River, accord ing to the Governments report, prob ably extend through the unit.
 Unit No. II is located in the Chick aloon River valley, mainly north and west of the stream and less than mile from Matanuska River. A num- Der of coal beds outcrop along the Chickaloon River in this unit and con stitute one of the best surface show ings of the entire field. The coal of Unit II is pronounced to be chemi- cally the best so far discovered in the district.
 Mir. Netland recently completed thorough examination of the property and has expressed himself as well pleased with the outlook for a sub stantial production. He cOntemplates an extensive development of the mines at an early date.
