 PROPERTY

Will son, chairman of the territorial road commission. has been awarded con. tract to haul 5000 tons of this ore from the mine to Mccarthy, during the winter months, and from the latter place it will be transported over the Copper River railway to Cordova and from here shipped to the Ladysmith smelter in British Columbia.

COAL bR|N GIN G S27 A TQN AT
 HONOLULU
(By Associated Press)

HONOLULU. T. H., Oct. 31 - Coal at S27 ton. That is what American fuel is bringing on the open market here. and the price is even higher in interior insular points and on the other islands. The fixing of a maxi mum price by the government has not yet had any perceptible effect on the price here. Due to lack of cargo space fuel is scarce in the islands and the price is expected to go high.
 The only branch affected by this price is the industrial organizations. Coal is rarely used as domestic fuel, in fact is not needed here.
 Lack of oil for fuel purposes is pri- marily responsible for the increased price of coal. With the shortage of bottoms and the communicating of several tankers in the Pacific by the government. oil companies here have been cut down on their consignments.
