Ten Billions In Coal.

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now, under construction from
Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal
in 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
Fairbanks. 1t is estimated by the
United States geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, that the Ne
mana field contains some ten billion
tons of Ignite. The Nenana coal field
lies in what is known as the Bonni-
field region, which also contains some
gold placers that have been mined in
a small way for the last ten years

Annabel seemed to be devoid of a

ture for him, and never extravagant
for herself, he didn't know how to
meet the situation.
On the arrival Of the fourth bar

which grew to such alarming proper

Harte flung out of the house, nom

stand his wife's unreasoning folly, he
could not live with her-and he was
forced to confess he could not live
without her. He walked wildly, IRE

All at once he found himself face

the white. set face, and though he

him.
Harry, what is the matter? she
asked.
"Why, nothing" was the evasive an

"Yes there is. Can't help your"
The question was so full of good,

the barriers he had set up between
them. He had not meant anyone
should know; but the desire to be un-
derstoOd, when a soul is floundering In
deep water, is often so strong as to
sweep away the bars Of discretion.
Harte let her know something of the
reason for his unhappiness.
"Come home with me. Let us talk

The two walked on for several
blocks and entered Mamie Beck's
home together.

The kind of corsets women wear is
