WORLD WITH COAL FOR

The report estimates there is 100 square miles of coal, 660O0,O00 acres, with more than 100000 tons to the acre.
 In Huntington canyon, Emery coun- ty, the report declares, an immense new coal bed was discovered.

 Charles Otteson, operating at Fun ter bay in southeastern Alaska, has made fabulously rich strike on his property. The ore is said to run in to thousands of dollars per ton and is now being sacked and carried to tide water for shipment. The size of the lead is not known.
 Falcon Joslyn, who has just re- turned from the Boring river coal fields, reports that the company is constructing four miles of planked road to get coal to Boring lake whence it can be brought on barges to Cordova. The Cordova market is promised fifty tons of coal a day and it is expected that before mid summer the Alaska steamships and the Copper river railway may be burning local coal. Regarding the oil situation at Katalla, MT Joslyn says the greatest obstacle to open ing the oil pools is the present illiberal leasing laws, but he is op- timistic regarding development.
 The honor of having the first oil permit in Alaksa goes to Fred Haef, who located the claim Feb. 27, 1920, and filed an application for lease at Juneau July 15 The principle of protecting the preference rights of claimants under old location filings made prior to withdrawal of the oil lands from entry is to a certain ex- 1 tent involved in the issuance of the 1 permit to MT. Haef His claim cov- CTS ground which was located under the old law which, it has heretofore been thought, came under the prefer ence right provisions of the oil leas- ing act. Under these, the old claim ants were given a year subsequent to the date of the new law became effective in which to assert their prior right. This time will not ex- pire until Feb. 25, 1921.
