Ten Billion Tons of Coal,

The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from Sew
ard to Fairbanks. Though the coal Of
this field Is Ignite and hence of low
grade, yet it has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other Yukon placer camps. The
field Is about sixty miles south of Fair
banks. 1t Is estimated by the United
States geological survey, department
of the interior, that the Nenana field
contains some ten billion tons of lig-
mite. The Nenana coal field lies in
what is known as the Bonnifield re-
gion, which also contains some gold
placers that have been mined in a small
way for the last ten years.

with poisonous waste matter, which set

As remedy for those easily recog-
nized symptoms Of Inflammation caused
by uric acid - as scaldfng urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or If uric acid In
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, 1t is simply wonder
full how quickly Anuric acts; the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take glass Of hot water before meals
