ANCHORAGE COURT
 NOTES F0R WEEK

ANCHORAGE: In the matter of Joe Prairie, charged with illicit dis tilling, a jury at 1:30 o'clock Satu day returned a verdict of not guilty.
 The government case consisted of testimony showing that as deputy marshals approached a camp on Ship creek in charge of Ed Holz, they found Prairie, his coat on the ground, engaged in fling an axe. Upon depu- ty Hoffman calling salutation in French to Prairie he broke and ran, leaving his coat behind. The defen- dant claimed to have been at the camp to collect money and was show ing Holz how to file an axe. l It was sought by the government to prove that Prairie was financing Holz i in his operations. Having been caught with eight barrels of mash in his pos session Holz pleaded guilty and was 1 imprisoned. He testified as witness i for Prairie.
 In the matter of the United States vs. D. M. Lynch, charged with shoot 1 ing at John Thompson and Victor Carlson last June in an endeavor to run them off from what Thompson claims is his lawful homestead on the shores of Otter lake, jury was se- cured Tuesday.
 The prosecution showed by several witnesses that the defendant with Eagle River John' drove Thompson 1 from his cabin by shooting into the building from the cover of nearby wood.
 Lynch sought to prove by witnesses that a conspiracy existed between Thompson and his friends to oust Lynch from the premises which it is alleged the latter had taken posses sion of, claiming the homestead was on his mineral locations covering q calcium carbide deposit in the lake. During the progress of the trial the defendant assumed the role of assist ant to J. L. Reed, his attorney, and interposed many objections and Ques- tions.
 To make the jury more comfortable the railing in front of the jury box was torn down yesterday.

NEW GOAL COMPANY ! WILL DEVELOP MINES

1 NENANA: Organization of the Mt. Mckinley Bituminous Coal Company, backed by local capital, has been an nounced, the object of the company being to develop body of high grade bituminous coal close to the Alaska Railroad, at Mile 340 The company is capitalized at $1O0,O0O and the follow ing well known local men are con- nected with the enterprise as officers and directors: Joe O'Connor, presi- dent; w. B. Reaborn, vice president; Alex Fowler treasurer; c. N. Chris jensen, Richard C. Morris and Louis Johnson, directors.
 | The property of the company shows several veins of coal, the quality of which is very high grade bituminous, assaying very high in carbon and low in moisture. It is said to be excellent stean1shing coal and cokes readily and will prove a very valuable asset to the district in the event of the establish ment of shelter Large deposits ot iron ore and lime suitable for fluxing are known to exist near the coal.
 It is the intention of the company to begin development work at once and coal will be placed on the market as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made The plans include the construction of a siding, the erection of bunkers, the driving of tunnels and the installation of short tram to convey the coal from the veins to the bunkers near the track
 The development of coking and steam coal means much to Interior Alaska and the fact that all of the stock of the new company is owned bv local capital speaks well for the prosperity of the North. The officers and directors of the company are al well known, solid, reliable business men, whose business ability, energy and honesty are the very best asset company could have, insuring as Il does, the careful and economical hand ling of the company finances.-Nena na News.
