COMMISSIONT0 INVESTIGATE
 COAL FIELDS

Captain s. E. w. Kittele and Cap tain l.. B. Gregory, of the United States navy, who passed through Cor dova on a recent boat for the west ward, are members of the commission apointed by that department for the purpose of investigating to ascertain what steps should be taken in connec- tion with the development of the Mat aLuska coal fields. Exhaustive pre- liminary investigations led to the de- cision to center upon the Matanuska fields.
 Provisions of Act That Failed.
 In the naval appropriation act which failed of passage at the last ses- sion of congress was the following provision:
 "One million dollars of which, or so much thereof as may be necessary, may in his discretion, be used by the secretary of the navy in mining coal or contracting for the same in Alaska, the transportation of the same, and u necessary docks for use in supply ings ships herewith; and the secre- tary of the navy iS hereby authorized to select from the public coal lands in Alaska such areas as may be neces- sary for use by him for the purpose stated herein"
 With view to reopening the whole matter before the next congress, the secretary of the navy ordered the present investigation, the expenses of which vii be defrayed out of funds available under existing appropria- tions
 In general, the instructions to the commission will require as exhaustive a survey as practical in order to reach a decision as to the procedure to be followed in the work contemplated un- der the provision in the legislation re- ferred to.
 Survey of Mines Opened
 Further, it will include survey of condition of mines already opened, cost per ton of coal produced, 1nclud- ing expense incident to the develop ment, extent of fuel in sight, local commercial demands and quality of coal required, attitude of mine operat- ors as to prospects and development of leases in the respective districts.
