COAL PROPERTY NEAR ANCHORAGE NOW PRODUCING
One Lease Secured from Gov ernment in Chickaloon Is
 Turning Out Coal.

Jack Lincke, wspaperman of An chorage, is d passenger South on the Alameda He intends going South tc San Francisco and during the. six weeks he is outside intends to pull off several publicity stunts for the Anchorage districts by which he hopes to attain results. Lincke is going to boost everything to the Westward, especially the coal in the Matanuska district He hopes to se cure financial aid for operating com panies and possibly direct steamer line, San Francisco to Seward or An chorage.
 "The Evans Jones Coal Company : mine at Chickaloon has been opened said MT. Lincke, and we expect this to only be the first of a number of leases to be secured from .or companies.
 Development work is at an ad vanced stage and four beds of coal from three and one-half to, 10 feet in thickness have been cross-cut and s12000 tons of coal are now blocked out ready for shipment A fifth, sixth seventh and eighth coal bed has been located at lower levels and we expec, to have 10000 tons of coal available and blocked by next summer and ready for shipment if a market is available.
 The 600-foot gravity tramway is completed, and ready to deliver coal to the train cars, with mechanical contrivances to separate the various grades of coal.
 "AffOrding protection to the min CTS ventilating fan with capacity of 10000 cubic feet of air per minute has been installed, insurng safety to the miners. Fifteen hundred feet of tunnel have been completed, connect ed with numerous coal chutes.
 "Jonesvlle is the name of the new town which has sprung up on the foothills of Fishhoow mountain, one of the most beautiful spots in the coal fields. Eight families reside in the village, with population of g people. Application has been made for post office, which it is hoped soon to have established.
 "A petition will be forwarded to the Alaska Road Commission to have a road constructed from Jonesville to Sutton. an approximate distance of one and one-half miles. which will materially shorten the connection with passenger trains and obviate the danger of people, especially wo- men and children, travelling on the railroad right-of-way.
 Development work was started on this project one year ago. Two months of this period was consumed in construction of roads and trails and Superintendent Jones has de veloped producing coal mine in less than one year.

lhe discretion of President Harding and Secretary Fall. Once authority is vested in any single Department of the Government, he predicted that Alaska would go ahead in busi- nesslike manner.
 Tells of Railroad Visit
 He spoke of his recent trip over the Government Railroad which was magnificent work. It opens up Q vast district and he expects to see big development in it within a few years. While the road would not be financially remunerative for while, he said that in time it would be a paying proposition. But 'simplitication of Government must pcome first" he declared.
 ! He urged the need of improved transportation. He was not disposed to fight against transportation com panies, he said, but to aid them, There is no question, however, he added that Alaska must have better transportation facilities. He advo- cated mosquito fleet for Southe east ern Alaska. Many problems must be solved" he concluded
 Fisheries Unmentioned In Bill
 In answer to a question by Charles D. Garfield as to the reason for emitting the Fisheries Bureau from the New Bill, Gov Bone said that the fisheries question touched on in tcrnatiOnal issues arising from the seal fisheries. He added that Secre- tary Hoover was in favor of allot- ment of a portion of the proceeds from the sealing business to Alaska and that he in his annual report would ask for 30 per cent of these proceeds for the Territory.
 Mir. Garfield declared that al though the fisheries industry in Alaska was t he most important of all, it was the most poorly managed from the Government side. He ar gued that he seal fisheries was but a small factor in the industry from which but $2,O0O,000 to $3,000,0O0 was derived each year while the other branches of the industry pro- duced from $40,00,0000 to $50,000,- 900. Complete extinction of this in dustry, he said, would result unless there was change in the present system of administration of regula- tions governing it.
 Beck Against Opposition
 John Beck declared that he was not in favor of the Association going on record as opposing the bill which it's course in Committee hearings in Washington.
 Mir. Roden argued that few mem bers were fully acquainted with the measure and asked that the matter be allowed to go over until the next bers full opportunity to study the bill. A motion made by him to this effect was passed unanimously.
 Stands for $450,000
 Among other things taken up by the association today was a letter from Delegate. Sutherland relative to the Capitol building project. In this, the Delegate repeated his assertion that he believed that $2O0,OOO would be sufficient to erect a suitable building for executive office needs in Alaska. Responding to President Shattucks request for comment, Gov ernor Bone stated that he believed that $450,000 would be required to erect and equip a building to cover all needs of the Territorial and Fed

BODY OF TRAPPER
 FOUND NEAR MEYERS

The body of James Fritter, an aged trapper, who has been missing since early in April, was found last week in lonely cabin about twenty miles from Meires' roadhouse, with a bullet hole through the head, ac- cording to advices received from Valdez on the Alameda. Searching parties who entered the cabin found the body in bed With the back of the head blown off, the deceased having evidently committed suicide. Ns Fritter, who was a bit of a re- cluse, has. been in the vicinity sof Meire's for. several years, engaged in prospecting, trapping and hunts ting, aH :: ] i. It was believed for a time that he had been murdered by Copper River natives, as he had reported trouble with them over a trap line. but from all indications the man became crazcd from loneliness and took the shortest way out.

The status OF the A. +. f. boxers of
the heavyweight division will be fairly
well known after Capt. Bob Roper
finishes his bout tonight with Al
Roberts Of Staten Island at the Com
monwealth Sporting Club. Roper has
made the best record of any of the mill
tary heavies. Not only has he defeated
Bob Martin, who won the championship
Of the class in France, but ne has dis
posed Of some of the best non-military
boxers since the close of the war. He
claims decisions over Bill Brennan,
Frank Moran, Tom Gibbons and Bartley
Madden.
From the fact that ali Of his opponents
were on their feet at the close of the
specified number of rounds 1t is inferred
that Capt. Bob is not destructive
puncher, but depends on points for his
victories n
Roper is quite apt to meet with a sur
prise when he faces AL Roberts. This
Staten Island thumper is a greatly inn
proved boxer over the form he showed
when he was defeated by Gene Tunney,
and Roper will be compelled to step
livelier than ever before in his career as
a pugilist.
Roberts is fairly good boxer at the
present time and he is a hitter par ex-
celenee.
