RAILROAD WORK BECOMPLETED
 END OF l922

Completion of the government s railroad in Alaska from Seward to Fairbanks by the end of the summer of 1922 was promised by John w. Hallowell, assistant secretary of the interior, who, with Colonel Frederick Mears, chairman of the Alaskan en- gineering commission, and Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, geologist in charge of in- vestigation of mineral resources of Alaska, made an inspection over the entire route recently, says the Seattle Times
 Upon his return to Washington D. C., Assistant Secretary Hallowell will make recommendation to Secretary Franklin K. Lane for the development of coal lands of Alaska, but until a formal report is made to the secre- tary MT. Hallowell will not discuss his conclusions.
 Mrs. Hallowell accompanied the as- sistant secretary on his trip to Alaska, planning to make the trip through Broad pass on horseback, but when the party reached the last railway construction camp on Indian river it was found that the rough trail was too hard for her, and she remained there until the party came back.
 Assistant Secretary Hallowell and Dr. Brooks returned from Fairbanks by way of Chitina and the Guggen- helm railroad to Cordova. While on the trip they made eight inspections of underground mines, besides visiting several surface workings.
 The twenty-two miles of railroad between Nenana and Fairbanks will be completed by the middle of Mo- yember, and this year we will com plete the work of reopeninig the line from Seward" said Assistant Secre- tary HallOwell Next year we expect to be able to reach the Nenana coal fields from Nenana and Fairbanks and the Matanuska fields from Seward and Anchorage. This will afford trans, portatiOn for such cOllieries as are working and will expedite the further
