MASKANS ORGANIZE
 BANK IN SEATTLE

The Bank of Europe is the name of 8 financial institution which is in process of organization, with every Assurance of being a pronounced sue cess, in the city of Seattle. This new institution is of particular interest to Alaskans because the organizers are two prominent sourdoughs of the Northland-Colonel w. T. Perkins, formerly of Nome, and Danilo Vuce- itch, late of Anchorage. These gen tlemen form the banks organizing committee, and have opened offices in the Pioneer building, room CPS, where an almost constant stream of people, among them many Alaskans, daily make their appearance.

 COAL FIELDS OF ALASKA

George Watkins Evans, one of the best informed coal mining engineers on the Pacific coast, now engaged in private engineering work with offices in Seattle, who for years was con- nected with the United States bureau of mines, has just returned from a professional trip to New York city, called there for conference with financial interests with regard to the coal mining industry, present and prospective, in the West and in Alaska, As result of this visit MT. Evans has been commissioned to make a comprehensive report on the coal mining industry in California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. This report, which will take months to complete, will deal with the demonstrated coal areas in the west and with the prospective though un- developed coal areas in Alaska.
 The report will deal with the i'm nortant factors of the industry in the known coal regions, such as quantity, quality, cost of production, transporta- tion facilities, markets, etc., as well as the commercial possibilities of the great coalbearing regions of the North.
 MT. Evans is perhaps the best ln- formed man concerning the coal re- gions of Alaska Years ago he had charge of the mining of some eight hundred tons of coal taken from the Matanuska fields to be used as test by the United States navy. Two years ago he served as a member of A federal commission that investi- gated the Matanuska fields on behalf of the interior department.
 Ar. Evans is a sourdough of the Northland. When in his teens he joined the great stampede to the Klondike in 1897, packed his own out fit over Chilkoot pass, and passed the winter in the great gold camp.

ELLIS MINE AT VALDEZ
 INVOLVED IN SUIT

The taking of certain testimony in the case of Messrs. Smith and Treat vs. Red" Ellis, owner of the famous Cliff gold mines at Valdez bay, has been concluded in Seattle, and the matter will come up for trial before Federal Judge Robert w. Jennings at Juneau in the near future. The plaintiffs are suing Ellis for an. un- divided one-fifth interest in the mine Judge Thomas R. Lyons and Judge Smith, a party to the suit, are repre- senting the plaintiffs, and Maurice D.. Leehey is looking after the interests of MT. Ellis.
 In a former action Judge Jennings ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, but the circuit court of appeals granted the defendants plea for retrial. Hence the present action.

Pennington News: "Leonard A.
Busby, who is the.new owner of the
Iron Mountain property, which he
bought from Earl A. Clemens on May
9th, is pushing development work at
this historic old property on an even
larger scale than his predecessor who
had quite a large force of men work
ing there for some time. The trans
fer of this property to Mr.. Busby made
on May 8th does not give the full con-
s%ideration paid for it, but as there are
$57 in stamps attached to the deed it
was evidently in the neighborhood of
$57 900. The transfer was made sub
ject to a mortgage held against it by
w. FL. Smollinger, also various other
contracts still in force and about
which there has been considerable lit
igation. We certainly wish for the
new owner much success and that

bling the old days of half a century
ago when il was the important mining

The Same Old Story.
Bismarck Gazette.)

L oAoAhulNh 0dLCLtC.I ."HH
The Bismarck ball team and quite
a number of fans went to Pilot Knob
Sunday afternoon for a game with
the team there.
The game was holly contested from
start to finish, and was exciting
throughout. The Pilot Knob team
was the victor, the score being to 1.
Bismarck had several chances to
score in the early part of the game,
but poor base running kept them
from doing so, and it was the ninth
inning when their run was made. AT
different times Bismarck players were
on base but the hit to bring them
home was not forthcoming.
Warren for Bismarck pitched ex-
cellent ball, with the exception of the
third inning when three hits scored
two runs and the seventh inning when
three hits scored one run. The other
run was scored in the second inning
on errors.
He allowed eleven hits and has a
record of 10 s%trikeouts.
Robertson was on the hill for Pilot
Knob and also pitched very effective
ball. He allowed ten hits but kept
them well scattered, and struck out
IL men.
These two teams will play at Bis
marck Sunday afternoon.
