ALASKAN COAL
LEASE SIGNED
Secretary Payne Initiates
Plan to Develop North
ern Fields.

The first of a number of impor-
tant coal mining leases in Alaska
has been signed by Secretary OF
the Interior Payne, covering 1897
acres in the Cook Inlet field, Alas
ka. The lessee is Edward T. Nc
Nally, of Anchorage, Alaska, who
has agreed to invest $4,000 in ac-
tual mining operations. He expects
to begin work in the near future.
Secretary Payne plans to promote
further coal mining development in
the same field by encouraging pri-
Vate enterprise as much as possible
to take advantage of the terms of
the act of October 20, 1914, when
coal lands in Alaska were first
opened up after many years of the
conservation controversy. Hereto
fore the chief obstacle in the way
of development has been lack of
railroad facilities and shipping.
The partial completion of the
Alaska government railroad and
the many new ships plying between
Seattle and Alaska have made it
possible to ship coal to the United
States from the territory for Pacific
coast consumption at competing
prices with the coal coming over
land from the East.
t The navy plans to take over a
considerable portion of Alaskan
coal for its own use, but there are
many fields, notably the Matanuska
field. which will be entirely de-
voted to private exploitation until
future administrations of the In
terror Department reverse the poll
icy of Secretary Payne.

GRAIN MARKET.

Eentine corn forced that grain
down.
Wheat was lower throughout on
export bids being out OF line and
very heavy rains breaking the
srouth in the Argentine but regis
tered several rallies on an improved
outside milling demand. Most spot
