 THANKS SULzER
 FOR GOOD WORK
Senator Praises Delegate for Help on Alaska Coal Amendment
 to Naval Bill.

WASHINGTON-To make it pos sible for the Secretary of the Navy to mine coal in Alaska, to relieve the acute fuel situation on the Pa cific coast, and to assure supply of coal for the war vessels in the Pacific, Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington introduced an amend ment to the Naval Appropriation Bill. which reads as follows: Sl, 000,000 of which. or so much there of as may be necessary, may in his discretion, to used by the Secretar of the Navy in mining coal, or con tracting for the same in Alaska the transportation of the same to Sew ard, Alaska, and tho construction oi coal bunkers and the necessary docks for use in supplying ships herewith; and the Secretary of thu Navy is hereby authorized to select from the public coal lands in Alasks such areas as may be necessary fo' use by him for the purposes stated herein"
 This amendment, with the excep ton of the words "to Seward, Alas ka," was approved by the commit tee and adopted by Congress. Tho reason accredited for the striking O the words "to Seward, Alaska" anf that the bill would not give the Sec retary the authority to ship the coa from any point except Seward, ant it was the wish of the Senate thaI the matter of mining and shipping coal from Alaska be left entirel, discretionary with the Secretary o the Navy
 In the House. Charles A.

 United States Senate,
 June "A, 1918. Dear Mir. Sulzer:
 q have yours of recent date and certainly appreciate the good work you did in the House towards the retention by the conferees and by the House of my amendment for supplying coal for the Navy from Alaska. I believe, as you may. that this will go a long way toward ac- tivity in coal mining in that Terri tory which we are all so much in terested in.
 With best wishes,
 Very truly yours,
 MILES POINDEXTER." Delegate Sulzer has taken up the matter of mining the coal with the Navy Department, urging upon it the desirability of starting work on this project at the earliest possible mo- ment and is in hopes that it will be very few months until coal from the Alaska fields is being used exten- Sively by the fleet of the Pacific.

Crews Leave to Pick Place for Railroad Through the Broad Pass
 Country.

ANCHORAGE, July 11.-Through one of the treasure vaults of Alaska tho Broad Pass country, the route of the Government railroad will be located this Summer. The surveying work will be directed by T. w. Sc crest, who left here with party of thirty men, a train of pack animals and food supplies sufficient to last until late in October or early in No vember.
 The surveyors and their outfit went in railway cars to the present end of steel. which is at Montana Creek, 95 miles north of Anchorage From Montana Creek, they will tray el 100 miles by trail to the scene of their seasons operations.
 The Broad Pass is the divide on the railroad route between seacoast and interior divisions of the trans portation line It has an elevation of approximately 2.5O0 feet, and is about 195 miles in northerly direc tion from Anchorage and about 15C miles in southerly direction from Fairbanks.
 Lack of transportation facflities has delayed not only the develop ment of the Broad Pass country but anything more than a cursory inves tigation of it's resources. As re suit of desultory prospecting, it is known, however, to abound in valua ble and precious minerals. Copper occurs in profuse quantities, place' gold in many of the creeks promises rich returns and assays of ore from some lode deposits are quite en couraging in, silver content.
 The district aside from it's min eral wealth, is well known for its game. It has luxuriant growth of grass in the Summer season. which fact makes possible the existence of so much wild life. It is the home of moose, caribou, sheep. bear, fox es and wolverines. and of the small CT fur-bearing animals such as mink martin, muskrat, weasels and par ka" squirrels. Ptarmigan is the chief game bird. but there are few grouse. Trout and grayling run plen tifully in the clear water streams and lakes.
